    What was supposed to be a unique take on both RPG and vampire genre turned out as talking simulator. The story is mediocre and doesn't make you want to push forward.

The game can be hard sometimes if you don't want to kill any NPC but sadly not in satisfying way - boss fights feel like copy-paste with minor changes. Technically Vampyr feels unpolished - I experienced a few crashes, some visual and sound glitches as well.
    There are, of course, things that Vampyr excels at - atmosphere is great. Streets of 1918 London are gloomy and unwelcoming, people sad and distrustful. Soundtrack is a masterpiece. Main character is well written. I really liked Jonathan Reid and his journey as a newborn vampire.
    All things considered the game deserves an average score - 5/10. If you're considering buying it, wait for a sale or humble bundle - it's not worth a full price of 60$.    … Expand

    Depending on the budget they had...I don't think they had much to spend on making the game but they made it worth something or tried their best. I really liked the story and the gameplay was satisfying enough.

    - Beautiful graphics in general with great work on lighting and shadows as well as badass-looking combat and abilities visuals.
    - Original approach to a storyline walkrough - drain everyone and become the most powerful monster ever, or try to calm monster inside you and stay human as much as posisble, solving quests through talks and helping other people. Both ways have own pros and cons.
    - Noticable inspiration from Vampire: The Masquerade

    Cons:
    - Repeative combat animations.
    - While story itself is great there's noticable lack of charisma and character depnth in NPCs.
    - Some not very rational aspects of combat and movement in both human and vampire forms.

    Vampyr has mixed reviews from both critics and players for reasons. It's still a GOOD game, but it looks and feels like pretty much unfinished - and that's why I personally think it's simply overpriced. But if you personally love vampire games in general - you should take a more deep look on it, as most likely you'll truly enjoy it despite of its flaws. Buy it with a decent discount and you'll be fine.    … Expand

The story isn't bad, but the medium of that story, the characters, ARE bad. Despite the emotionless inhabitants, the world itself is beautifully crafted, a gloomy, plague-ridden 16th century London coupled with blood sucking demons is a match made in heaven.
    The combat is sub-par with your character, Dr. Jonathan Reid, always underpowered if you chose to be a good vampire and didn't kill anyone, which isn't very enjoyable of an experience since most semi-boss type enemies can pretty much finish you in 1 or 2 hits, you'll respawn, but your items don't so if you want to stand a chance at a particularly hard fight, you'll have to run back to a safe house, craft some meds then return, sounds tedious? Because it is.
    Overall recommendable for fans of Vampire: The Masquerade or fans of vampire stories in general, you'll enjoy it all the way through or get bored half way through, like me.    … Expand

    This game can be very interesting masterpiece, but developers don't support it at all. Many bugs, that force you to start a new game because they don't have normal save system. So it better for all that dev now make gameplayless cartoons, and not touch really games.

    A painfully average game that could have benefited from more production and development time. The story is fairly interesting: you play as a retired military medic forcibly stricken with an acute case of vampirism in an early 20th century London. Your new goals become acclimating to your new bloodthirsty affliction and curing a devastating plague affecting the city.

The story is fairly interesting: you play as a retired military medic forcibly stricken with an acute case of vampirism in an early 20th century London. Your new goals become acclimating to your new bloodthirsty affliction and curing a devastating plague affecting the city.

    Combat is simplistic and not very engaging, though I wouldn't say it's terrible. The skill and crafting system feel a bit forced and are a quizzical addition to the game. I would have rather they focused on building the world better which is the main gripe I have. A game like Vampyr heavily relies on an immersive and intriguing world filled with untamed exploration and exotic characters. I quickly felt funneled and rail-roaded, with the illusion of an open world broken almost immediately. Any doors that diverge from the main path were always "locked" and many buildings were simply inaccessible.

    Overall, I believe the game has great potential if the developers were to invest more time in fixing issues and making positive changes. As is, the game is not particularly bad, but it fails to impress, especially if you have high expectations. I would say the game is worth about $25.00, so I suggest waiting for a sale or for the price to naturally fall with time. Believe me, you won't be missing much.    … Expand

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

Убивая людей вы так же открываете подсказки, но не все, я не раскрыл некоторых людей досконально, но мне хватило опыта до максимального уровня ПЯТИДЕСЯТОГО, и еще осталось пять тысяч опыта. Сила Гипноза повышается после выполнения основных заданий, c помощью него можно объять людей которые не поддаются начальному гипнозу. Аморальность зашкаливает, последствия в действии и результат печальный... спас Англию от Алой королевы, ценой объятия в которой остались лишь Джеффри Маккаллум, Лорд Рейдгрев, Старая Бриджет, Шон Хэмптон, Доктор Эдгар Суонси, двоих я обратил в вампиров, священника-нежить исцелил с помощью своей крови которого изнасиловали те кем он стал и вера в Бога не угасла, стала еще крепче, остальные убиты мною, ибо так игру пройти проще и имеем иную концовку в которой моя любовь Элизабет Эшбери сожгла себя дабы предотвратить эпидемию, ее кровь разнесла инфекцию по всем районам, так как Доктор Эдгар Суонси перелил кровь Элизабет Эшбери вампира в пациента ... а Доктор Эдгар Суонси и Элизабет Эшбери знакомы друг c другом. Кровь Элизабет Эшбери породила мутировавших женских скалей , низший тип вампиров. Эпидемия разрослась а я ее усилил путем объятия, районы не пригодны для жизни людей. Убита Алая Королева ... детей рожденную тьмой... "До следующей встречи" ... оттянул время до коллапса, ибо голод ее вечен и она снова пробудиться.

    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.

    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...

    Great story, nice looking graphics but the budget was too low. Elements like animations and especially combat show how bad this game is. I cannot forget to mention how great the atmosphere is.

    It would be fine if it would be an interactive movie.

    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.

    I get why this could be a good game, but the controls are atrocious and the combat is merely hard because it's so frustratingly bad. There's some other points of criticism, the game feels a bit unprofessional or overly clinical in places, but it's mainly the combat that has me quitting it in frustration even though I generally like hard games.

    Got this as a gift... story itself is interesting, but the rest of gaming experience is rather tragic (after 2 and half year after release, rly guys?)

    8.5.
    Wonderful story, solid combat, fun to explore, some solidly challenging moments on hardest difficulty. Makes me want more vampire games. Choices matter.

    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.
