    The game could be awesome if there weren't problems with the servers. I like the Story and the style but I also want to Play with friends which is currently hardly possible. I hope this will be fixed soon. So I also rate it with 7 Points.

    I think the game is underrated. A Diablo clone with good graphics a very good single player mode and a well-balanced difficulty.

    No idea how this game isn't rated better. Being an obsessive ARPG player I tried them all when making a break from years of Grim Dawn ocd, and this one ranks amongst the very best (at least at the beginning, I'm only 10h in the game so it's possible endgame sucks). Even if I would admit competition is not really tough, aside PoE only lots of garbage coming out in this category: WarhammerNo idea how this game isn't rated better.

I'd say only Last Epoch is a good game for me.
    Anyway, back to IAVH.
    Graphics are really good (btw always consider you're playing on huge tvs and not pc screens), animations are smooth, classes are really different from eachother, dialogues are nice and funny, lots of npcs and sidequests everywhere, skills and companion customisation goes pretty deep.. well, pretty much a hit so far. Fingers crossed, we'll see in a few hundreds (I hope) hours : )    … Expand

    The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Extended Edition is a good action RPG that is a welcome addition to the PS4, but is held back by some uninspiring loot, uneven difficulty and the decision to release the trilogy one game at a time. This version does include all of the enhancements from the Final Cut, but it’s difficult to recommend buying this alone when the full trilogy is so often discounted on PC. Given the likely future releases, I fully expect this to appear on PS+ fairly soon. So unless you have completely rinsed Diablo 3, and are bored of Alienation but desperate for more loot, I’d stake clear of this until the full trilogy is released.

    The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing was a fun game when it came out for the PC in 2013. It was a hack and slash RPG that gave players yearning for more Diablo something to bide their time while great titles came out to refresh the genre. No one will say that this game changed or evolved the genre upon release, but it was fun and worth playing for the action-RPG crowd. However, the same cannot be said about the PS4 version. This is a poor port of a decent game that should be avoided. There are other action-RPGs to play on the PS4 with better performance that offer better value and experiences. Stay away from this version of The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing and either get the PC version or pop in Diablo III instead.

    If you don’t own The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing on PC already and you’re a sucker for a solid ARPG experience VH won’t disappoint. Despite its shortcomings, VH offers a solid ARPG experience, beautiful setting and some great control layouts. As a PS4 player it s a game I definitely want in my collection.
