  1. Mobile, high-stakes combat tied to interesting, ever-expanding abilities is a recipe that can withstand slightly repetitive enemy design and shoddy environments. I still feel the pull to keep playing, to unearth new classes and experiment with all the ways I can mash them together. The only good part of Code Vein is its combat, but for me, that turns out to be enough.

    All the negative reviews so far are peopl saying it's trash after playing 1-2 hours and refunded it, only very few negative reviews that areAll the negative reviews so far are peopl saying it's trash after playing 1-2 hours and refunded it, only very few negative reviews that are worth reading are the ones after 10 hours, don't bother wasting time with 1-2 hours ones. without stating any reasons why and they all just refunded the game. The game is a 8/10 for me, the character creation is one of the very best and very detailed. spent 2 hours on it already, the combat is fun and engaging. the only thing that is lacking is the variety of levels. but i am rating it higher since people deliberately rated it down since the game has Denuvo, which the pirates are angry for
    A lot of reviewers also seem not to be into Anime, which this game is meant to be for anime audience/ weebs. The Devs also gave out free copies for those who donated blood on twitch con and it was very nice of them doing this. most if not all the negatively are from people/ pirates complaining

    Very good game with interesting mechanics and a extremely good twist to the "Souls" formula.
