    Vampyr already starts with an intense and heavy prologue to already let the player involved with the story, even though this may leave him a little lost about how the game will be since the first hour of play is fairly linear. You take on the role of Dr. Jonathan Reid, a renowned physician who served in the war and has now been transformed and seeks answers and revenge from those who did this to you. The story is rather focused on the city of London, devastated by an epidemic.
    The Vampyr universe is greatly expanded in terms of mythologies and cultures, creating space for various types of organizations and groups in the game, such as secret vampire societies, shady sororities, hunter groups, and high-class vampire societies that govern the region, as well as other things that you discover throughout the game. The game is full of characters, each with its own characteristics and missions. Although Vampyr's promotional images that show cities full of people moving and interacting are a deceptive advertisement, you really feel inside a living and functional place.
    In the game you will need to know how to divide your bloodthirsty vampire side with your renowned doctor side, taking advantage to feed on these characters or helping them and improving the city. Your choices will affect the direction of the story of the game, as well as the direction of each city district and the destination of the characters that are there. As the game progresses (the main story takes 15 to 20 hours to be completed) the story is getting as intense as the prologue but leaving more room for choices rather than demotivating linearity.
    A big problem of the game is to force you to have a certain personality and affection for a certain character, something that I as a player did not understand where it came from and I could not relate because of the choices I made in the game. The DONTNOD Entertainment team had done something similar and forced on Life is Strange and it seems they made the same mistake.
    Gameplay
    As Vampyr it is an RPG of choices, open world and full of combat, I will divide this session into two parts: Choices and Combat.
    In terms of choices, the game has more effect on your actions than on dialog options. While it's amazing that you can just go on an NPC that would normally give you several missions, interact with the world around you and simply choose to kill him to quench your blood thirst (and gain a lot, but a lot XP with it), the dialogue options are almost always limiting and in the whole game only in 3 or 4 moments you will make big decisions because of these options. In some moments where you think you need to make a decision of extreme importance in the game, he chooses the destiny for you as well.
    Whenever you sleep, that is when you can evolve, the game shows the results of your actions in each district, showing if the district has become healthier or gone into chaos. Depending on the level of the district, certain NPCs will act differently and may improve the status of some and in worse cases, leading to the death of others.
    Already in combat, the game is sensational in every way. The combat is very similar to Witcher 2 and 3 (this is not going to be the last time I'll use Witcher for reference in this review), except that instead of being a hunter with equipment prepared to defeat a certain monster, you are the monster needing to watch out for hunters who know all their weaknesses. The game does not have a lot of variety of enemies (inferior vampires, hunters, monsters and vampires of high level), but knows to vary in the abilities that each one of them has as you get stronger in the game, which is great since, in a universe only of vampires, to escape of the pattern with enemies only to satisfy the will of the combat player, would be a negative point in the whole lore of the game.
    Hunters will only start with swords, torches and silver pistols, but as you progress through the game, the same hunters will start to carry crosses, garlic, higher precision rifles and even flamethrowers! The same goes for lower vampires, who will be stronger and have some new abilities. High level vampires find you only in some areas of the game and will start to use more skills similar to yours.
    Another thing the game has in common with Witcher 3 (not that this is Witcher 3's original or inspired by it), is the Witcher's sense. In the case of Vampyr, vampire sense. And it works the same way and is used by the game in the same way, you change your you change your vision to follow traces of blood or see enemies hidden by the map. Unlike the Witching sense, the vampire sense is not so charged to be used in so many missions and can be used more strategically by the player to avoid fighting or locating things hidden by the map.
    Concluding
    Vampyr is a very, very good game.    … Expand

    The main beauty of this game is its interesting setting and overall story. The game focuses a lot more on the conversation and connections you make with the people of London.

    Pros:
    + Great storyline, rich with mystery and interesting characters
    + The ability to tailor your story based on your decisions
    + Graphics are not the greatest but stand in a positive form
    + Combat is simple and doesn't have a complex learning curve
    + Interesting leveling system

    Cons:
    - Combat can feel somewhat difficult at times because of the lock system because you'll end up missing hits and just get you to die often because of it
    - I've encountered some small bugs regarding audio and getting blocked
    - Minor crashes, but nothing too serious
    - No feature to fast-travel between the areas of the city, for some it might be immersive, but sometimes it takes a lot of time for you to travel from one point to another
    - The leveling system can be somewhat strange because you're not leveling up until you go to bed, so it can put you into some situations where you're absolutely destroyed by 1-2 hits from enemies who end up being 10-15 levels above you. This only happens if you decide to not kill and consume anyone.

    Overall the game had been great and I warmly recommend trying this game out. I'd rate if 10/10 for it's vampire storytelling and a strong 8/10 for its overall game. I look forward to maybe a sequel or some sort.    … Expand

    Pros:
    + interesting characters & dialogues
    + nice music & atmosphere
    + good graphics
    + gameplay/combat is ok
    Cons:
    - the ending (a bit anticlimactic)
    - big loading times
    - some unfortunate (and very obvious) "woke" moments
    Overall, good game, 8/10. If the ending was better, it would have been a solid 8.5/10.

    Vampyr is a hidden gem.
    I was reluctant to play this due to the low review scores but in my opinion it is probably the best RPG I have played in the last few years.
    The combat is a bit wonky but honestly that doesnt matter much because the story and characters are truly compelling.

    Vampyr has the best of both worlds. Fun fighting with vampire skills as well as a very rich and deep story which is very rare in today's action games. For this game to unleash it's full potential you have to be willing to listen to A LOT of dialogues as well as read some files. The whole story, the characters and the atmosphere are very well done. Every character has his/her own story and different opinions. It never gets boring. The only question is if you can buy into the dark vibe of this game. Fighting is fun and the boss fights are challenging at times but never unfair. If you are coming from a Dark Souls background like me they are rather easy. You can pick and choose between different vampyire skills and upgrade them once you got enough points or should I say enough blood ? Of course there are also melee and range weapons to pick from. Decisions really matter in this game and you will see the consequences of your decisions later on in the game. This is a nice concept and unfortunately it's very rare in today's video games. It took me 35 hours to finish so this isn't a short game by any means. So if you are looking for a story-driven action game in a very dark and even depressing setting this is the right game for you. I've enjoyed every minute of it.    … Expand

    - Moral choices
    - Great story
    - Great sound (music, voices of the actors - voice acting, ambient)
    - The game evokes different emotions, it's great!
    - I also like the graphics and despite the fact that the characters' faces look like they were from the game a few years ago, they MATCH this world, they are truly "movie-like"
    - The combat system without auto-tracking is great ((I RECOMMEND SWITCHING OFF IN OPTIONS BECAUSE IT IS ON BY default!)), I like it, it's original, although I lack diversity I think in character development and even more powers - most people do similar builds.
    - Inability to load previous savegame to fix a bad conversation (you have to think!)
    - The main character is very balanced, calm, empathic, inquisitive, easy to identify with him, although he can sometimes give the impression of predictable
    - Crafting

    I buy few games in my life, but I bought this one! I am asking the developers not to screw up this potential, to release the second part of Vampyr 2, even better, and then Vampyr 3 to make it a SERIES! It is beautiful! Maybe something like The Witcher. Vampyr in an open world for over 100 hours of game ...

    Bads:
    - small influence of conversations
    - small impact of characters death on world changes
    - shooting in this game is irrevelant, it gives little, plus shotgun ammo (for me) did not store
    - two ways to go as a good vampire and a bad one
    - it is strange that we lose e.g. ammo and energy / blood when we are killed by the boss and autosave is loaded
    - no better highlighting of things to collect, which extends the time of entertainment for finding what to loot
    - medium readable map
    - skipping whole sentences in a conversation with a click of the mouse, instead of just thar are visible on screen

    For me Vampyr is GAME OF THE YEAR, and maybe many recent years ...

    For many it is too difficult, whether it is about the fight, or the complexity of conversations and the depth of the world, well, not everyone is intelligent and sensitive...

    Oh, I was a fan of other games of this studio like Mars War Logs or Technomancer - generally great games for the low budget that the developers had.

    All of them have their own backstory, secrets, morals, voice and uniqe apperance.
    All your choices have a bad or positive effect on your surroundings and effects if the game will be easier or harder to complete.
    Your choices of who you kill or dont kill will also have an impact on the different npcs based on the npc's relations to each other and on the enviroment.
    Combat is first very slow when you start out but become faster and requires more skill and dodging as the game progress. Unless you of course kill every one and are an upgraded beast of a vampire.
    This game also does not require a lot for your computer to be able to have this game set on high or ultra, and so far I have not experienced any bugs, lags, crashes, freezes or anything game breaking. In other words the game is running very smoothly.
    The animations are amazing and the different skills you can aquire makes you feel bad ass, I mean you can get an ability that allowes you to make someone explode from within.
    The enviroment and atmosphere is eerie and dark, the music is absolutely wonderful and the vampire sight that allows you to see trails of blood and literally look inside someones body is to me perfect.
    Only thing I think is.... "bad" with this game is that I thought the graphics would be slightly sharper (but they are by no means bad) ,and when you feed in combat all enemies stop to stare at you nom down on their friends neck xD
    But to me that is so insignificant complaints that they do not really matter.

    Картинка честно говоря не впечатляет, но в дождь мое старье высаживает до 30 фпс уверенно.
    Здесь много проблем с логикой элементов выбора, весьма кучая боевка Витчера на минималках и банальный спам врагов.

    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.

Although the game can entertain in the end, it often disappoints instead.
