    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.

Also, the fact that we have to keep everyone alive in the towns gets annoying after a while. 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

    Oyuna bir süre şans vermeye çalıştım, konusu ilgi çekici olsa da, dövüş mekanikleri, animasyonlar kötü ve en önemlisi oyun bana göre aşırı sıkıcı geldi. Yapmaya çalıştıkları insan ve kan kalitelerini arttırma fikri başarılı olsa da boylarını aşmış ve gereksiz olmuş.

    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.

    The strongest point of this game is it's story. Your decisions and actions actually matter not necesarrily to how the main story will progress but 100% to the side stories of the many NPC's that you will meet and talk with. (I accidentally managed to kill a whole district because I didn't take good care of them).

    Another thing that impressed me a lot when playing this game is how beautiful the enviroments are and especially how beautiful the interiors of the many places you visit are.

    The weakest point in my opinion and opions of many other people is the game's combat system. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be but sometimes it does feel kinda unbalanced and buggy.

    Why do I give this game a score of 8? Because there aren't many games quite like it where your actions and decisions do matter for the fate of NPC's you meet along your journey and I also really like a game with a great story.

    I really liked the atmosphere and setup. The visuals, voice acting and plot are quite good. The conversations with the NPCs are big part of the game and they done really well.
    Combat is ok, nothing special but fun enough, although can become repetitive.
    The game uses auto-save on every choice you do, which can be extremely frustrating, so I recommend to backup your saves (or use a mod)

    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 played on hardcode + civilians kill run, it's quite a pain in the a$$. enemies felt unbalanced (sometimes 9-10 levels above), and can kill in 1-2 hits.

    Pros:
    -Almost everything, but i would say the plot. It's more gloomy than terrifying and i love that.
    -The atmosphere. Depressing and intense at the same time.
    -The OST.
    -The love story (Although it happens way too suddenly and it could have been told in a more progressive way).

    Cons:
    -The combat. Nothing new and a bit clunky.

    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

    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.

    i never understood the mechanic, harder the level less the XP you earn and Vampyr on top of that put a soul like combat.. The boss fights are so lame sometime they do a 270 spin out of nowhere and slide through the arena and also this game also punishes you for being a good guy, like the level gaps are insane . The only good takeaway from this game is the story.

    Кровосисявый слэшер с RPG элементами на 30-35 часов (31-32) при подробном прохождении.

    Из минусов:
    - неочевидность диалоговой системы, даже больше, местами она провоцирует игрока выбрать ответ, который в итоге может привести к потери "подсказки" или к смерти ключевого персонажа, чем поднасрет в прохождении и повлияет на концовку, из разряда "хочешь сделать как лучше, но у игры иное мнение, будет как хуже" от чего нормально так припекает, ну и появляется желание переиграть, но возможности такой нет, ПЕРЕПРОХОДИ всю игру по новой.
    - игра на клава мыше руинит общее впечатление от геймплея.
    - казуальный баланс ресурсов, их невероятно много, не ощущается никакого survival элемента, хотя он вроде как должен быть.
    - отсутствие быстрого перемещения, пусть площадь игры и маленькая, есть скородки, но бектрекинг растягивает игру и никак её не красит.

    Из плюсов:
    - простенький, но интригующий своим повествованием сюжет с несколькими "вот это поворотами".
    - не плохо прописанные персонажи, одним хочется помочь, другими закусить.
    - хорошо передана атмосфера чумного лондона.
    - сносная музыка + к атмосфере.
    - достойный слэшер геймплей, если говорить о игре на геймпаде.
    - вариативность оружия и какой никакой апгрейд, прокачка персонажа (ветви развития), крафт шприцов. Все взаимосвязано, можно тестить разные билды.
    - реиграбельность, хотя бы на второе прохождение (если не лень скипать тонну диалогов).

    P.S. не хватает какого то хардкор сурвайвл режима для супер задротов с одной жизнью, где ресурсов минимум, прирост опыта за убийства персонажа минимальный, а последствия критические + вырезана способность на отхил, за счет этова система шприцов была бы более юзабилити, в оригинале надобности в шприцах практически нет.

    - Stories of characters that have a second and third bottom
    - 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.

    THANK YOU!

    Отвратительно нудное повествование заставляет либо бросить игру сразу, либо надеятся, что она скоро закончится. Как можно было так задизайнить игру?! Когда приходишь в новый регион, на тебя вываливают ТОННЫ текста в разговорах с NPC. И это просто говорящие головы, без постановки, без анимации и без хоть чего-нибудь интересного.

    Геймплей напоминает соулслайки - тут есть выносливость, которая расходуется на удары, уклонения и спринт. Есть немножко способностей. Пытаясь комбинировать все это в бою вы будете частенько промахиваться по врагам (а стамина в это время будет стабильно расходоватся), потому что боевая система настроена неказисто и коряво.

    Унылейшие побочные задания. Ты их проходишь и проходишь, а они все не заканчиваются и не заканчиваются, а часы в игре идут и идут, а ты все ходишь по одним и тем же локациям одними и теми же тропами и ходишь, а интереснее все не становиться и не становиться...

    Игра не стоит внимания, не стоит того, чтобы в нее играть и мне жалко тех 23 часов, в течении которых я пытался заставить себя втянуться в эту игру, которые я на нее потратил.

    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.

    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.

    6/10 Its alright, nothing terrible but nothing amazing either.

    It doesn't stay with the enemy you want to kill and moves around. It's best not using lock on and without it it's better and combat is ok once you get used to it. Even with a no embrace play through on normal difficulty I am able to kill enemies 7 levels above me. Combat isn't too hard once you know what you are doing and I did not find any of the bosses overly difficult.

    I also dislike the auto save as I am someone that likes to have the best outcomes and prefer to be able to reload. As I made a decision which was unclear of the consequence being so severe. I thought the charm choice was the nicest option but instead was bad resulting in a coma like state resulted in a outcome I did not expect. Unclear choices is extremely poor game design especially when you get stuck with it because of the terrible auto save system.
    Since outcomes are so unclear and you get stuck with it, I never go in blindly again and instead look up all major choice outcomes before choosing.

    The game only crashed once for me.

    I did not have any problems with loading times.

    The game can also be buggy. Such as when chatting to someone the entire screen goes black and you can only see the dialogue nothing else, until you say goodbye.

    I loved the game and I feel this game is a masterpiece as the excellent story over rides it's short comings. Never for a moment did I feel bored playing, the story felt exciting and gripping. I hope for a Vampyr 2 and feel this game deserves a higher rating than what it received.

There are 50 characters crammed into the lacquer and you have to go and talk to everyone, it gets really boring no matter how interesting their stories are. Then these stupid boss fights, where there is a main boss and while you are fighting with him, regular npc constantly pop up and you have to fight with them too, and there is no point in killing them, because they will respawn again. Oh, and most interesting thing - when I killed the boss, he dropped item that is worse than item I found in the beggining of the game.
    Although game has some good sides like story, some characters are interesting. But still, can't rate game higher than 4.

    The story was also cool, i really enjoyed it, the darker aspect of it and the ending where it depended on the number of people you killed, and the idea that we could just heal them to make their blood better. Very cool indeed

    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.

    I recomend it, but only if you want to play it with the combat on a second level on your mind and story first

    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.

    I was excited before playing this game because there weren't play-worthy games about vampires but now I'm really disappointed because it didn't live up to my expectations.
    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.

    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.

    Went to the wrong neighborhood with high level mobs, died, mobs respawned, and you found yourself without any ammo, blood and other stuff in the middle of nowhere, without any possibility to return bc high level mobs kill you again. And only way to broke this circle - start game from the beginning.

    The game has extreamly poor souls like combat. So you strike enemy once and after should to avoid his attacks for 10 minutes, then repead. But honestly you can not avoid attacks. Your character can not block or avoid. Stamina bar exactly enough to hit once and...it's all you can not do any actions for 5 seconds.

    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.

    6. Poor plot. There are not many things in main quest, it just is stuffed by a lot of setting.
    Spoil
    Though I do not think it worth spoil
    the sister Mary appears suddenly and just for kill her again. It is illogical. If she understands the thirsty of blood, she should not blame her brother, otherwise she does not need to worry about becoming vampire. And at the end there is no explanation about how exactly turn hero and why throw our hero into pit. If that blood ghost can appear everywhere why he can not just care about the process. And at end the knight also appears abruptly. And many characters are useless too. Like Old Bridge is only for adding more setting.
    About game play, it is stupid to chop, chop, chop. Useless item and skill
    I wonder how such a bad game can get high score.

    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.

I found many bugs throughout my gameplay, basic things that could be easily found by a tester. My sound has been compromised on an audio track at least once. 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.
    In addition, the idea was great and the title is unique. I would like the company to take everything into consideration to launch a new one.

    -Under close examination there is clear lack of effort in many zones through the game that were simply slapped together with no real care to how it looks graphically or aesthetically.

    Final Thoughts
    The game is insultingly boring, short, and most of all... bland. It does nothing to pull players into the vampire world. For me its a solid 5 out of ten on its best days with a couple of drinks in me. If any other day of the week this would be a solid 3 out of 10.

    The AI of its enemies is extremely stup¡d & scripted, which is why they often get stuck with miserable obstructions in their pathways, such as columns, barrels, boxes, walls, etc.... {Especially in the indoors areas.}

    Its plot is too linear, & the options that are present during it are practically irrelevant during the course of the same; Basically everything comes down to: MC has killed or not non-generic NPCs, if he has.. then how many he has killed..... (つ◉益◉)つ

    I did not pay much attention to the topics of sound music and it is already moderate. The game has nothing catchy in this regard as well. Its story and atmosphere is quite moderate. I think they could do much better. It gets very boring after a point. Focusing on a lot of dialogue is already reviewing everyone's story. I'm so bored.

    The only reason for enduring all the dialogue is that my patience is important in my efforts to change things, but after a point did I lose focus and just wanted it to end. The playability is bad. I can't feel that I'm exactly a vampire. In the beginning, the character cannot develop like a man towards the bad end.

    The so-called vampire comes from a special blood, but when it comes to the place of even the lowest vampires, it is a very bad beating year. I have already come to the final mission and forced me to be so much more in the last boss and I am overwhelmed that I quit and deleted the game.

    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.

It feels a little off.. you're a big fancy vampire with fancy vampire powers but you can't even jump on a low crate if the game doesn't need you to be up there. It's heavily scripted.

    I do recommend it though. It's a really cool story and it's being told in a cool way. The game looks good and even though the game-play feels incredibly scripted and limiting at times, it does fit.

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.

    Debo reconocerle al juego su capacidad de reflejar en el jugador la sed de un vampiro. A más sangre más experiencia, pero eso dañara tu escala moral por lo que matar a todos, si bien te hará más fuerte, terminará por arruinar tu identidad.
    Dicho lo cual hay muchas cosas que funcionan mal:
    - Puedes matar constantemente a bandidos y vampiros, los cuales no afectan tu moralidad, haciéndolo únicamente con los NPC (no cuadra).
    - El final es soso, esperaba más de un juego con tantas tramas e intrigas.
    - Los diálogos son...tediosos y la realidad es que el 80% del juego te lo vas a pasar hablando. Básicamente repites las mismas 5 preguntas a todos los habitantes de todas las zonas y a la (no) tan larga, cansa y mucho. en mi caso hice todas las segundarias y se me hizo muy cuesta arriba el tener que entablar conversaciones todo el rato.

    Good combat and mechanics, decent story and a great setting. I liked the paradox between feeding on people and being a doctor. Let down by poor optimisation really and the game felt a little too long in the end. But enjoyed the game nonetheless, the feeling of a whirling death machine felt great.

El sistema de curación de los habitantes es un coñazo, he tratado siempre de curar y no matar a nadie así que no sé hasta qué punto afecta el ignorar a los enfermos. El combate es ortopédico. Moverse por el mapa es un suplicio, pide a gritos viaje rápido a través de los lugares donde podemos fabricar medicina o mejorar armas y al personaje. Los gráficos a veces aceptables y otras de PlayStation 3.

    What can I say, this has to be the worst game I've ever played in my life. Holy hell, I think some of the genuine unbiased reviews out there say it all. I'm only thankful I spent just $15 on this as I got it discounted on GOG. Is this travesty worth $60? Not even in your wildest dreams.

    Movement, Animations, Camera, COMBAT (This game has seriously the WORST combat I've ever experienced, I mean SKYRIM'S COMBAT IS BETTER THAN THIS) Jonathan Reid can't parry, can't even dodge without using his vampire powers, he can't pick up objects around him (it'd be really helpful to grab one of the torches from the human enemies and use them against the vampire enemies, but I guess that would make sense) there is a "stealth" mechanic which is awful, it only allows you to "stun" enemies. Guns don't do anything, seriously, they're bloody useless. But most importantly, THE AIM. When you're not using the lock on mechanic you might as well be playing blindfolded because the controls are just that bad, when using the lock on mechanic you better hope there aren't more than 1 enemy in the vicinity because it will go bonkers, and you'll get hit and die (many times) because the game will be switching between enemies.

    DEATH: It feels like a regular death mechanic, but it isn't. You will retain any (very small) experience you have gotten from the fight, but if you've used bullets those won't respawn with you, once again making guns useless. But the worst thing, is that it's trying to be like Dark Souls where every time you respawn all the enemies respawn too, only there is NO In game or narrative explanation behind this death mechanic. Beside it being bloody awful anyway, stop trying to be Dark Souls game, you aren't anywhere as good.

    Difficulty: this game is hard, but it's not hard in the way Dark Souls or The Witcher 3 are hard, it's hard because you'll be fighting the game mechanics, controls, and overall poor combat design. It also throws at you enemies of much greater level than you are, when completing the main quest it won't be long before your Level 9 Dr. Reid is squaring off against Level 18 Vampires which will two-shot you, sure you can decimate your population to be more powerful but this is supposed to be a choice based game where you can choose who to drain and who to let live.

    LEVELLING: it's tied into the people you consume you won't get any reward for fighting bosses or defeating enemies of much higher level than you, one boss is the Sewer Beast which took me A LOT to kill because I was just level 8 when I encountered it, and after I did kill it, it was just so anti-climactic, I mean seriously it's awful, when you defeat a hard boss in Dark Souls and The Witcher 3 it's satisfying despite of what reward you'll get from the game, part of the reward itself is beating that boss because those games actually have good mechanics which make them fun to play. This one? It fails miserably.

    But I know what you're thinking: "Well this is a story driven game, it's all about the dialogues and the characters". yeah, let's talk about that. Let's talk about how awful the voice acting is, Dr. Reid is about as emotional as a wooden blank with a smiley face painted on it, the start of the game is incredibly weak with Dr. Reid talking like a complete tool saying quasi-poetic lines like: "I'm like a child who's discovering the capabilities of his body", he's pretending to be freaked out but his reactions are so far removed from what ANY REGULAR HUMAN would have that it makes the whole introduction weak. Honestly the only character that I liked the voice acting of was the Irish priest (or at least he's voiced by someone from Dublin) and that's about it, some of the lines of dialogue are just plain unnatural with Dr. Reid abruptly changing subject and tone with the NPC he's talking to, which is one of the biggest immersion breakers here.

    Also the level of redundancy in this game is baffling, at the very start of the game you'll talk with a bar tender who'll tell you what: "the sewer dog is", but you can just walk to the barmaid and still ask her: "what is the sewer dog" as if Dr. Reid DIDN'T ALREADY HAVE THIS INFORMATION. Or when you have a visual indicator that a door is closed but Dr. Reid will still say: "it's locked" with the flattest tone of voice possible.

    The facial animations are absolutely horrendous, the fact that this is a AA title from a small studio is irrelevant, as anyone who played Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice will attest to.

    It's experiences like this which remind me as to why people pirate games, it's because users can't rightly try games any more, and can't decide for themselves whether something is good or not, they have to go by what other people say or are persuaded by an interesting subject and its marketing, but this game didn't deliver on anything it promised. Also the music is bloody awful, seriously the cello sounds like it's out of tune at times.

Non è bellissima ma considerando che non è un tripla A va benone. Passa facilmente in secondo piano rispetto alla storia.

    Veniamo ai punti dolenti. Intanto la mappa non prevede spostamenti veloci, e il fatto che sia sempre piena di nemici respawnati fa passare la voglia di tornare indietro a finire quest secondarie. E' un peccato. Tutte le varie porte chiuse sono eccessive e si potrebbero sbloccare da sole arrivati a un certo punto. Il sistema di combattimento è un po' monotono ma il punto peggiore del gioco è raggiunto dal fatto che alla morte si viene resuscitati con zero sangue e le consumabili esaurite. Non è un grosso problema durante il gioco ma ai boss diventa una frustrazione insensata. La prima volta affrontiamo i boss con il sangue pieno (e questo significa poterci curare) e le pozioni, ma se si muore inspiegabilmente si rinasce con tutto azzerato e i salvataggi sono automatici! quindi siamo costretti a farci i boss con una difficoltà estrema, in aggiunta al fatto che se abbiamo fatto i "santi" non abbiamo ucciso nessuno e quindi abbiamo livellato poco. Quindi siamo costretti o a tornare indietro a ogni boss per rifarci le pozioni e recuperare il sangue, oppure ad affrontarli in condizioni assurde. Questa mi sembra una scelta davvero idiota e poco ponderata. Non fosse stato per questo il gioco meritava anche un 8,5, ma considero questo aspetto un errore madornale da parte degli sviluppatori.

    Does everything good, but nothing great.
    No reason to keep playing though
    the story seems interesting but no effort is shown to "wow" you

    What a great game when it comes to the story. It's so interesting and the whole atmosphere is just pouring out of the screen. The gameplay is average... the game is easier if you suck out the blood of people and harder if you don't. It's all about your choice and immersion in all of this. I really liked this one and I will probably come back to it in a few years. Pickens approves

    Haiku Review: Not enough shades of / grey. It is all black or white / I wanted more depth
    Favorite Thing: The story is pretty interesting.
    Least Favorite Thing: The combats bad, yeah yeah, you've heard that before so let me find something else. Why does embracing someone always have to be bad for a district? There were more than a few people whose removal should have improved a district.

    m uchas ilusiones y expectativas y una absoluta decepcion, no me atrapo en ningun momento durante la primera hora, lo descambie y mire por internet videos y definitivamente hice bien en descambiarlo, lo apruebo raspao porque se que es un juego que a alguien le puede llegar a enganchar a mi en lo absoluto.

    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.
