Sep 26, 2019To make up for all the other wannabe **** fakeass reviewers. This is a solid game and the best way to tell on how it plays, is by playing it yourself. It's fun and a good challenge and great with friends.

Sep 26, 2019Very good game with interesting mechanics and a extremely good twist to the "Souls" formula.
-
Sep 27, 2019Exceptional souls-like. Has a great story and a lot of replayability. The combat is solid and has plenty of weight to it. Plenty of customization and variety. The people review bombing this are insane.

Sep 26, 2019Excellent character creator - Smooth gameplay and the notorious difficulty from the genre overall a good experience

Dec 4, 2020Extremely overrated game! Enjoyed playing with the character customization tools more than I did actually playing this miserable game that really wants to be DMC and Souls, but just cannot find a comfortable in-between. Gets insanely boring fast. Hard pass.

Nov 26, 2019Not quite as polished as a Soulsborne game but still very very fun, cool design and much better character creation than any From soft game.
Very satisfying. -

Oct 3, 2019Great gameplay and mechanics. I like how it's not as frustrating as some other souls-like titles.
Of course it's much harder than your average game, but at the same time it feels really fair with the player. Whenever you die you don't feel cheated by some cheap difficulty spike or something like that.
The game runs very well too, no bugs or performance problems. I totally recommend it. -
Sep 29, 2019Dark Souls but in Anime style. If you like DS and Anime I highly recommend to buy it
Character customization is very diverse.
Story is good
Characters are ok
Only thing what will you maybe hate is Cathedral of the Sacred Blood :D -
Oct 3, 2019Stands on its own two feet, great experience overall. Exploration is fun, and plenty of ways to play how you want.

Sep 27, 2019Журнодевушки легкого поведения и невысоких моральных устоев снова ставят низкие оценки норм играм, а очередная колда или ласосин зато будут 12/10

Sep 27, 2019Way better than some would suggest. If you like dark souls there is still plenty of good to be had here.
-
Sep 27, 2019Played for about 10 hours, game has lots of customization and replayability. Takes a lot of the best systems from Dark Souls and implements them well.

Jan 4, 2021What if there were a Dark Souls for people who want something to do instead of play the same boss fight over and over until I get lucky and don't die? Well, this is! And this is it!

Apr 3, 2020Code Vein should be applauded for doing something different with the Dark Souls formula. It's great to be able to switch out your classes at will and combine them, and the almost-constant presence of co-op is a real selling point for those who may not want to jump into the deep end of this emerging subset of the genre. The rest of the game, from the story to the level design, feels bland, and the combat falls apart when you suddenly have no AI companion by your side. If you don't mind a heavy dose of anime in your action game, Code Vein may be worth checking out.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Feb 28, 2020Code Vein is a successful nod to soulsborne games. It does not reach the highest peaks, but it deserves attention for unconventional setting, huge potential and interesting possibilities when it comes to character development and equipment. It is not perfect, but it is definitely more than just good. [Issue#299]
