    It's a game you'll either love or hate. It has some serious gameplay issues and gets very repetitive and boring very quickly. Also, the game becomes unfairly difficult if you refuse to drink blood. Even when given the choice, the game constantly pushes you to be evil and feed on people.

There aren't enough games about vampires, so if you like the concept, Vampyr is worth a chance, but even if you don't play it, you won't lose much. It could have been a good game and it definitely has potential but they didn't work hard enough.… Expand

    SHORZZ / Vampyr: Although it did not convey the story to me exactly, the way the game was played and the atmosphere were very good. The feeling of hitting made you feel like you were actually hitting the opponent. Boss fights were tense but enjoyable. It's a really high quality game you might want to try, I think it's worth a try.

    The game rewards you for maximizing the hints you gain before embracing. But. Random dialogue options lock off hints forever.

    I find this decision to be a strange design choice.

    However, it's entertaining despite this.

    What I didn't like about this game is the zoomed FOV without any option to increase it. FPS drops are also common in certain areas, even with good GPU (rtx 3070).

    I thought that I was going to play a Souls-like game with vampyr powers but I find a detective game instead. The combat is just a small part of the game when going from point A to point B. But most of the time you're talking, searching and sneaking during your investigations.

    The characters, conversations and the super hard decisions are really well designed. The way everything changes depending on your decisions is awesome.

    Because of the many conversations in the game and how important they are, a language translation would have been appreciated.
    But I need to say that original voice acting is great so I enjoyed it.

    In the other side combat is not the best ever but it's not so important in fact. At least out of the main bosses that are different and hard enough to make the combat interesting.

    Unless you want to be a sadistic and kill most of the NPCs the experience you get from other sources is really low.
    That's a big design issue because why are you creating fancy abilities that most of the players will not even see because they lack of experience points.

    The most annoying thing in the game is how you need to maintain the districts healthy by healing NPCs all around the map. Then you sleep, they're sick again, need to create more potions and so on... super annoying.    … Expand

    The game just betrays itself when it goes against these core values but its obvious it does it because of the low budget.
    I really would like to see this developer do another game like this but with a much bigger budget, being strict about those rules, no random nameless grunts the game doesnt treat as humans, no forced one way solution to anything, etc. But they seem happy doing those braindead walking simulators with forced propaganda to colorful hair dumb teenagers, a pity.    … Expand

    Gameplay: The game is split into 2 parts, talking with NPCs and Combat. Talking with NPCs inst much really, its just for progressing the story and it doesnt do much than just telling you whats happening and sending you to the next place. Combat is "Ok" at best, almost all the weapons do the same thing but have different stats, the abilities are cool but by the time you get them you are already almost finished with the whole game. The enemies are straight up copied and pasted through the map, they all look and act the same and you will fight them a looot. This game also has a very bad case of artificial difficulty, they made all the enemies tanks with health and kill you in a few hits, while thier moves are very basic and easy to dodge and easy to memorize, same thing with the boss fights. The gameplay is also very repetitive.

    Story: The story wasnt bad really, but any choice you make for the story doesnt really affect it as much, but at least the overall story is interesting and has some good things going for it. The characters are also just "Ok" they werent amazing or special in any way, but they werent bad either.

    Sound: Pretty good, the music was nice and fitting through the whole game and the combat sounds werent bad.

    Graphics:Pretty good, the charcter designs and world buildings all look good and even the UI looks good.

    World design: Way too many "This door doesnt open from this side", and I hate that I couldnt find my way to some quests without using a guide to see where I needed to go.

    Fun: Yes you can have fun playing this game, but there are many games like it that are more worthy of your time and money.

    Combat wise... Not as good.
    I hated the final fight, it just took me soo damn long it stopped being fun. And even the fights before that, they just became boring.

    The atmosphere and environment were probably the only thing that I really liked about the game. Victorian London was portrayed well. Diversity of characters and the interactions with each one of them were admirable. Story and the endings were also fine.
    Combat system seemed good at first but after some time it became boring. The 'Vampire' abilities during combat could be much more creative (Something like abilities in Dishonored).
    There were too many dialogues! This was fascinating and boring at the same time.
    Animations were also creepy at some point.
    I think the developers forgot to add a 'Fast Travel' option! The map is designed in a way that you must go from certain alley to reach a district; Which means that if you choose a wrong alley, you have to return all the way you've come. And at this point, the game becomes boring and ridiculous.
    To sum it up, Vampyr is an absolutely disappointing and unnecessarily long game that needed to be polished (Actually A LOT of polish!). 'The Sinking City' and 'Call of Cthulhu' have a lot in common with this game. Same kind of atmosphere, wasted great ideas and unpolished. So I'd put them in a same category.

    If you ever wanted to vacation in Victorian Era London and see for yourself what Old Charles Dickens was going on about, you can now slip into the boots of Jonathan Reid, famous surgeon, and recently awakened vampire.

    And when I say recently awakened, I mean seconds ago: During the amazing first scene of the game, Jonathan crawls out of a mass grave and wanders around incoherently until    If you ever wanted to vacation in Victorian Era London and see for yourself what Old Charles Dickens was going on about, you can now slip into the boots of Jonathan Reid, famous surgeon, and recently awakened vampire.

    And when I say recently awakened, I mean seconds ago: During the amazing first scene of the game, Jonathan crawls out of a mass grave and wanders around incoherently until he stumbles into his first kill. The game puts an incredibly strong first food foot forward.

    Can the game keep that spectacular level of engagement up throughout? Not quite, but it keeps it going for quite a while, and certain aspects stay strong all the way. First thing to mention is the amazing environmental design. The color palette with its grays and browns and only the occasional splash of crimson oozes atmosphere. The mood and sense of place that the environment evokes are second to none.

    The people living in this splendidly rendered hellscape of a city are just as amazing. Almost all of them are well-written, deep characters. Some of them are tragic, some despicable, most of them have a few skeletons in the closet, and almost all of them are so very compellingly human. Some of them have a bad case of the uncanny valley face, and generally, the character design isn’t as strong as the environmental one, but still: These people feel alive and real and tragic and pitiful… It’s great!

    Gameplay-wise, the game has two modes: Walking simulator and combat.

    Combat copies a lot from Dark Souls: There is a stamina meter governing the amount of attacking and dodging you can do, there are a bunch of vampiric talents, even the most exotic of these have a grounded feeling that fits well with the established grounded and realistic mood. Still, it’s not all sunshine and violence: The hit detection isn’t quite as precise as it could be, some NPC attacks are barely telegraphed and the controls could stand to be quite a bit tighter. Still, the system is robust enough to allow skilled players to win fights with more than ten levels of experience disparity. You don’t need to do that, though, you can always eat more people. I’m getting to that.

    In safe quarters, conversation is king. Every person you meet has an opinion on the general situation, a personal story to divulge and 3 to 5 secrets to uncover. These hidden truths can be uncovered by eavesdropping on folks (an easy matter of lurking in the shadows until people behave shady and then finding the one highlighted spot where they can be observed) or by confronting them with secrets already discovered and then picking the right conversation choice. This system is usually quite forgiving, but it is possible to fail.

    The writing is great in these section: Almost all of these people were compelling characters, and the more I got to know them, the more I sympathized with most of them. This is of course what the game wants, because, as a vampire, Jonathan Reid has the option to snack on any one of them and get himself a huge boost of XP, the more secrets he has discovered, the bigger.

    There is crafting in this game, It’s not just weapons you can tape together. Jonathan is also a doctor, and with that trait on his character sheet comes the responsibility to keep the population healthy, at least if Jonathan doesn’t want his collection of blood bags to degrade in quality. He does that with self-made medicine, and it’s another way to earn XP, besides combat, snooping, pursuing the main story and eating people.

    I enjoyed that part of the game quite a bit, at first. The game sells the fantasy of being a Victorian doctor making the rounds in a plague-ridden cesspool hard. But there comes a point where everybody is healthy and every secret has been ferreted out, and then this part of the game just… stops. You can’t do anything with the information you uncover. The only thing you can do to effect change is kill people, and there’s only one or two cases where that would affect positive change. Also, the game judges you for it. This means that the morally correct course according to Vampyr is inaction: To simply let the sometimes quite severe tragedies you’ve uncovered continue.

    The main plot, meanwhile, does a good job structuring the traversal of the open world. When it comes to story, I would describe it as uneven. Some scenes are greatly engaging. Other times the script does a disservice to the plot, with uninspired dialogue. Some of the most interesting parts of the tale get too short a shrift, other times mistimed exposition dumps deflate the tension. It held together well enough to keep me engaged to the end

    As mentioned before: The technical aspects are serviceable to spectacular: Environmental design is great, lighting is great, character design is mostly fine, the score is unobtrusive, most vocal performances are fine, and I never had any problem with stability.

    All in all, I recommend this game.    … Expand

At another time, my ability to run was canceled, becoming stagnant on an exclusive floor inside houses. The layer that showed possible places to be "teleported" simply disappeared and was not rendered. I wasted a considerable amount of time until I realized I needed to turn the game on again - and the layer appeared. Making changes that change the lives of NPCs is a lot of fun, but there are few endings and the criteria for them are doubtful. Some dialogues are repetitive and the whole story is presented by the extra texts, much more than in an interesting interactive way. There was a lack of more choices of moral choices that would really shape the character and other consequences - I see a lot of missed oportunities to make quests more interesting than searching for a missing item. Healing the same characters every time is annoying. A vampire who doesn't know how to crouch or jump is also uncomfortable.

It mostly delivered on the story through character interactions but the gameplay has glaring flaws. However, I enjoyed it very much for what it is. Your mileage may vary. I love the atmosphere, character interactions, and the 'maxing out Experience points by revealing NPC secrets' feature. I enjoyed the combat once I was sufficiently leveled, but without some of your more powerful vampiric powers in the early game, it's a bit of a chore. Stealth is a possibility but it's poorly implemented and not worth it, IMO.

    All in all, it's a flawed game with a lot of good and some very bad game mechanics that break immersion later in the game if you're not well prepared. And to this day ( Nov, 2019), there are still bugs present in the game that haven't been patched out (most likely won't ever be) and some of them will stop you from completing quests with maximum efficiency, resulting in less Exp. You just have to hope that you're curious enough to circumvent them through trial and error.

    I bought it on sale and enjoyed it very much. I recommend buying it for sale (preferably 40% or more) and experiencing it. It's a very good first attempt and I can't wait to see what Dontnod does with the sequel, and I sincerely hope there is one.    … Expand

    A horror action adventure game with cool duels, an impressive atmosphere with the need to think about the consequences of your actions. Unfortunately, the final experience is not perfect. [Issue#287]

    It feels like the script was written by three different people. One’s responsible for all these cringeworthy lines, another came up with some truly interesting characters, and the third one thought that this would be a perfect opportunity to preach his values: for example, at one point our strictly-rational atheist doctor will have to confess his sins.

    Vampyr can bewitch with its atmosphere and conquer with the skillful delivery of a quality story. However, the RPG and action parts didn´t succeed, and the intended main pull in the form of heavy choices, whom to kill and whom to let live, is also lost to the lack of impact of your action. Although the game can entertain in the end, it often disappoints instead.
