   The game is fantastic. Haven't been able to put it down and only stopping to sleep (3 hours) and go to work.
   
   Alright, this has been saidThe game is fantastic. Haven't been able to put it down and only stopping to sleep (3 hours) and go to work.
   
   Alright, this has been said over and over but the character creation is excellent. Alot of work went into your ability to personalize your own avatar in this broken world, a means of putting an extension of yourself into this game. 10/10 for that.
   
   The game play, or to be precise, the way you play the game, is dependent on YOU, the player.
   
   You got a multitude of Blood Codes--each of which provides different stats and core builds, and each with its own unique set of buffs and skills.
   
   Then you have the blood Veils which represent your armor and equips, which not only provide you a varied assortment of stat qualities, but a range of parry and drain attacks--which each blood veil looking different from the last.
   
   There are vast weapon classes to choose from as well.
   Not only do you have to match your weapon type for your build, you as the player have the flexibility of switching between weapons and builds on the fly as you need.
   
   One handed sword player? Switch to Prometheus. Two Handed? Switch to Berserker.
   Same goes for the weapons. Just as you see fit.
   
   Upgrade system for weapons and armor. Learning and mastering skills based on your Blood Code.
   Learning and acquiring more blood codes from side stories, items (vestiges) that you collect in the main story maps, or the depths. There are so many ways you can play.
   
   And all that, just so you can meet the challenge of the enemies that will swarm you.
   Even lower leveled enemies can still kill you no matter how you get,
   
   The regret of losing your HAZE is as real as it was when you lose Souls in any game of this genre, and the challenge will either push you to "git gud" or rage quit. Goes to show which type of player I am.
   
   Plus, the fact that it has a story is awesome. Anime styled, same universe as God Eater, lore building. All good things if you like things fantastic.
   
   Love this game! Worth the wait! Going for a platinum trophy!
   Well done!
   Would recommend 10/10!… Expand

   So far having beaten the third boss, the game is good. Combat is like a perfect mash of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and God Eater 3. While theSo far having beaten the third boss, the game is good. Combat is like a perfect mash of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and God Eater 3. While the controls on keyboard and mouse are not entirely bad like Dark Souls PtDE, unless you are willing to fiddle with the key mapping, I'd suggest a controller. (Side Note: This is reviewing the offline experience, I have not played online yet, and probably won't until I either get to NG+ or become curious enough, so I can't really say anything on that side of the game.)
   
   So far here is my pros and cons.
   Pros:
   -Fun Combat Systems
   -A Tutorial
   -EXTENSIVE Character Creation
   (took me 30 minutes just sorting through all the options and i'm still going in an tweaking my character every now and then!)
   -Interesting Story and Characters
   -YOU HAVE A MAP
   
   Neutral:
   -Season Pass
   (I put this here because the description on it is vague at the moment, so I'm hoping it is similar to DS3's Ashes of Ariandel/Ringed City pass, plus it is a back-step from God Eater 3's free updates and extra episodes)
   
   Cons:
   -Some Stuttering/Frame Drop Issues
   -Unreal Engine
   (texture fade-in during cutscenes)
   -Partner Chatter Can Become Infuriating
   -Partner AI Is Sub-Optimal in Boss Fights
   
   In Conclusion:
   I recommend this game. I am enjoying it, it contains everything I was hoping for and more. While the game does has its downfalls, I am hoping that solutions for what can be fixed do come around. Either way, I will be playing this game and continue to enjoy it and I hope that anyone who buys it enjoys it as much as I am… Expand

Não espere um jogo perfeito, mas Code Vein me agradou em muitos pontos. É um Souls Like de anime, mas tem suas particularidades, os diversos Códigos de Sangue proporciona uma variedade agradável no gameplay e permite se adaptar a diferentes situações. A personalização de personagem então... É um dos pontos mais altos do game. A história, porém, infelizmente não chega a ser memorável. A dificuldade também não está na altura dos outros jogos do gênero, mas eu não vejo isso como defeito, pois o jogo proporciona sim certo desafio. É claro que quem é muito fã da franquia Souls vai achar o jogo fácil de mais porque está acostumado a sofrer. Para quem se intimida com a dificuldade dos jogos Souls Like, Code Vein é uma boa entrada para quem quer iniciar um jogo nesse estilo de gameplay.… Expand

Gameplay wise most of them were solid too but there were a few that could have been better. The games too easy if you use the coop partner youre given, and too hard if you don't. I wish it was better balanced in that aspect.… Expand
