Apr 15, 2026While its character creator and parade of goth OCs is more than a little charming, Code Vein 2 feels far lesser than the games it is inspired by. With weightless fighting, a generic world, and boring cutscenes, one would be better off playing action RPG classics.

Mar 20, 2026Code Vein II is an ambitious sequel that expands the original formula with time travel, a broader world and a more direct narrative, though not all of its ideas fully come together. It refines combat and customization while clearly drawing inspiration from Elden Ring, sometimes at the cost of pacing and world density. Overall, it’s a solid and enjoyable soulslike, especially for fans of the first game, but not a genre-defining release.

Mar 4, 2026CODE VEIN II isn’t merely an evolution into an open-field format; it’s a carefully refined follow-up that identifies and polishes the weaker elements of its predecessor. The revamped Buddy System in particular feels like a true innovation, transformed into something entirely new that brilliantly balances tension with a strong sense of camaraderie in battle. The story, however, leans heavily on repetition and often lacks emotional impact. Even so, thanks to its many user-friendly features, CODE VEIN II stands as a Soulslike—indeed, an Elden-like—that can be confidently recommended to a wide range of players.
