    Un buen juego. Posee una buena trama donde las desiciones realmente importan, buena música, buen sistema de combate aunque muy simple.
    Como puntos negativos : La versión de PS4 tiene muchos bugs y el final es algo decepcionante.

    A game with numerous flaws, glitches, and crashes. Seriously? The game still crashes when you leave a battle or an area with lots of enemies after at least two years have passed. This game is extremely sluggish because of loading screens all throughout. I wonder whether the PS5 can handle this.

    Edit: The PS5 version is noticeably superior. I would rate it an 8.

    Vampyr, vom Entwicklerstudio Dontnod, die vor allem mit dem orginalen Life is Strange Titel bekannt geworden sind, ist eines der unterschätzten Kleinode des ARPG Genres. Klar, das Kämpfen fühlt sich, gerade in de ersten Stunden des Spiels, deutlich clunky an, und auch die Gesichtsanimationen, in den, für dieses Spiel so wichtigen, Dialogen, kommen eher holzig und grobschnittig daher. TrotzVampyr, vom Entwicklerstudio Dontnod, die vor allem mit dem orginalen Life is Strange Titel bekannt geworden sind, ist eines der unterschätzten Kleinode des ARPG Genres. Klar, das Kämpfen fühlt sich, gerade in de ersten Stunden des Spiels, deutlich clunky an, und auch die Gesichtsanimationen, in den, für dieses Spiel so wichtigen, Dialogen, kommen eher holzig und grobschnittig daher. Trotz der tollen Atmosphäre des Titels, sieht man dem Spiel sein knappes Budgets leider all zu oft an. Doch genau diesem Spiel hätte man ein bessere Finanzierung sehr gewünscht. Denn hinsichtlich seiner Spielmechaniken bietet Vampyr Ideen und Systeme, die, wenn man ein Fable für dialoglastige Rollenspiele hat, dem Spiel eine gewisse Einzigartigkeit gebe. Die Spielmechanik der sozialen Verbindungen der verschiedenen NPCs, das Sammeln von Informationen zu den einzelnen Charakteren und deren Bindungen, entwickelt eine motivierende Dynamik immer mehr Dialogoption freischalten zu wollen. Raffinierter wird das Ganze dadurch, dass Progress im Spiel vor allem erreicht wird, dass wir selbst entscheiden, ob wir NPCs im Spiel opfern, um uns zusätzliche EP einzuverleiben, die wir vielleicht dringend für unsere Kämpfe brauchen. Dass, wenn wir wichtige NPCs töten, oder zu wild sind in unserem Blutrausch gar ganze Stadtteile kippen können, gibt dem Spiel einen sehr eigenen Kniff, da je nach Entscheidung, Spieldurchläufe sich deutlich unterscheiden können, was auch den hohen Wiederspielwert des Titels ausmacht.

Jonathan Reid is the kind of protagonist you want to root for, despite him occasionally “snacking” on the townspeople, and the other characters in the game purposefully move the story along. The voice actors are top notch and despite the consistent hate this game gets for its graphics, I absolutely loved the feel. The creepy, dark, dank setting is perfect and I truly felt like a turn of the century doctor, meandering from town to town, healing the masses as I secretly feast on their kin in a dark alley behind the local pub. I played 3 full walkthroughs of this game and got 3 out of the 4 possible endings, and I enjoyed every minute. The only thing I wasn’t in love with was the combat. It felt a little janky/repetitive at times and by the end of the game I preferred running past enemies as opposed to fighting them. Overall, I give the game a 9/10 and I would highly recommend it to anyone that likes a rich story and a “choices have consequences” game model. Expand

    Tough game to rate to be honest. Immediately I’m thinking it’s a 7 or possibly an 8 out of 10. It’s got a lot of quality but can be rough around the edges. But the fact is I played it every evening straight until I completed it. Never got bored and was sad when it ended. So I’m giving it a 9.

    Documents in the game. I usually don't read them but in this game they deserve attention.

    The middle:
    Combat - I enjoyed it and maybe in the future, a parry will make people love it more (for me it was simple, good, and fun).

    The bad:
    - The map and mission checkpoint was really annoying. The game had problems so making me open the map all the time was a bad idea.
    - Closed dors. You never see them on the map and you don't see what direction can be opened from
    - too many characters and the main reason they got a short story and we expected to know more about them and never did
    - autosave. Maybe I press the wrong button or skip something... what then? Do I need to replay the game to resolve my mistake? You should at least have a save point after finishing a chapter. I don't want to replay everything again because I didn't understand a question at first or wasn't paying attention that second.
    - big loading screen and loading issues (PS4 PRO)

    Overall the game is very good if you take into consideration the low budget. The ideas and main game are very good and if they had more money and a better engine then 100% of the game would get more love.
    I hope their next game will be better and they will use a better engine.
    Just keep it simple and fun. Don't make 100 documents, I like how it is now with less reading materials but more attention paid to them.
    I gave it 8 because I think they had a great idea when doing the game. I think a great idea deserves to be encouraged and rewarded. Can't give it 10 because of all of the bad things and 9 is also not on the list for me because of the auto save and the fact that you can't enjoy the game if you replay it.

    I'm a sucker for a flawed RPG and Vampyr has all the makings of a pre-GreedFall Spiders game, many of which have stolen my heart.

However, developer DONTNOD Entertainment shows once again that they are one of the most creative names workingI'm a sucker for a flawed RPG and Vampyr has all the makings of a pre-GreedFall Spiders game, many of which have stolen my heart. Like most double-A productions you'll notice things like dated graphics and some technical issues that stem from having been made on a middling budget. However, developer DONTNOD Entertainment shows once again that they are one of the most creative names working in the industry today, and the unique ideas and compelling world they've crafted here make this title worth playing in spite of its faults.

    Set in a plague-ridden London during the 1900s, this is a vampiric power fantasy mixed with a detective simulator (quests are even called "investigations") that lets you play doctor on the side. As you search for a cure for the epidemic that's sweeping the continent you'll be faced with a lot of morally gray decisions that will have serious impacts on the world around you. For example, a choice I made relatively early on in the story that seemed solid inadvertently led to an entire district descending into chaos, with a portion of its inhabitants either going missing, joining a gang, or turning into hideous monsters.

    By far the most intriguing decisions you'll grapple with though are directly tied to the game's main hook. Every non-hostile NPC you come across can be fed on for a massive boost in experience points at the cost of their lives. While uncovering their secrets, healing them when they're sick, and completing side-quests for them offers a meager amount of EXP on its own, it also serves the purpose of enriching their blood and making it more profitable for you turn them into your next meal later on down the line. This mechanic creates an interesting dynamic where you can either help people out of the goodness of your own heart or raise them like cattle for the slaughter in order to get more powerful.

    This is a significant feature because it essentially allows you to pick your own difficulty level. Choosing not to feed on people will ensure the world remains stable, but will make the overall game harder as enemies will always be at higher levels than you. Meanwhile, taking the alternative path and killing the locals for their blood will cause the city's status to deteriorate, but will allow you to unlock the most powerful abilities and can make combat a breeze. You can also strike a balance between the two options and only devour a portion of the population you deem unworthy of life.

    In an impressive move DONTNOD put a lot of work into ensuring each character you encounter has a fully fleshed out backstory and set of motives. I met everyone from heartless serial killers to selfless hospital workers and plenty of types in-between. You can decide if the city would be better off without someone or not if you want to and that's a really cool feature. My one issue with it is that I never found talking to any of them to be all that interesting as your relationships with them never really go anywhere unless they are significant to the main story. So the only reason I ever bothered interacting with and learning about anyone was to get stronger, and even then I found myself skipping through most of the dialogue.

    As far as issues go, this is far from the prettiest title on the market, but even the plastic looking character models can't rob this moody, gothic version of London of its personality and atmosphere. Load screens are long and you can even run into some random ones while exploring. I also experienced a few crashes. The biggest problems though are the lack of a fast travel system which leads to a lot of backtracking to and fro across the city and some trouble with the balancing at the very beginning and tail end of the game that are the result of enemies being too highly scaled above you. Part of this is intentional though to goad you into draining the NPCs of life as a means of somewhat simulating for you the protagonist's struggle with his constant thirst for blood. Which is creative, but frustrating nonetheless. There is a "story mode" where you won't have to worry about difficulty at all and can solely focus on the narrative, but playing that way locks you out of being able to get a certain trophy.

    While known more today for their episodic, Telltale style adventure games, Vampyr like Remember Me before it makes a strong case for why DONTNOD should break out of their comfort zone more often. While they still weren't able to find the same level of critical acclaim here as they were with their Life is Strange series, they still created an exciting RPG based on original concepts that's worth looking at. Especially since its faults this time are more technical in nature rather than inherent to the actual design itself.

    Can't speak for how the game was at launch but I tried it due to being free on ps + recently. I had a few crashes along the way but even when it happened during a save, the save was never compromised.

    Vampyr is an incredibly solid game. The story line is engaging, the atmosphere and tone are perfect. Every NPC has a quest related to them. The city can feel sparse at times (there is also a plague so it fits) but the interactions actually feel as if they matter. You get to choose who lives and who dies and you can slaughter almost the entire city and still complete the game. Which I always find is the mark of a well thought out RPG. I have heard people complain about the amount of dialogue, as an RPG fan this complaint doesn't make sense to me. I even noticed my wife lingering as I played a few times to catch what was happening.

    The talent system and crafting are very accessible, nothing too complex. The available options make for some fun, if not repetitive (though which game isn't?) combat. The game stutters a bit here and there as you walk about the city but I really didn't find that to be the case even in the most populated battles I was a part of. Combat is enjoyable and reflexive. As fleshed out as many a triple A title.

    Now my very favorite part of the game is simply the auto save feature. It's never far away if you need to exit for the night but it stops you from gaming it to your advantage if you made an incorrect choice. And choices do have consequences. The first time I absentmindedly (minor spoiler) destroyed an entire district, I was at first upset and then amazed that a game exists that doesn't hand hold to the extent most now do. It gave the options weight, something sorely missing from most modern RPGs.

    Overall I think it's an extremely underrated title and if the developer had more $$ I think the critics would have been more kind.

    I finally played this game after getting it on ps plus. It is a totally different experience to any game I've played before. The leveling system and carefully choosing which NPCs deserve to be killed was great, I found gameplay was decent enough and there was a few strats that could be employed to beat enemies. The story is amazing and the world is very well done.

    But the game does fail when it comes to how the few choices you can make regarding the main character's path are implemented. Too often it felt like the game was railroading me into doing things that made no sense for how I was playing the MC outside of the main storyline. And I also think the morality system needed some more tweaking.
    I just don't think it's very logical that the game just goes 'biting people wrong, not biting people good.' Especially because there are a few characters in the game that are actively hurting their environment. it'd make more sense to make it morally wrong for MC to not intervene when they come across one of those people, rather than pretending it's moral to let (let's say) a murderer roam free.

    If they flesh out the morality system a bit more, and give the player more true choice when it comes to the path of the main story, a sequel or spiritual sequel would be brilliant.

Given how time and events unfold in the city, this turned out to be the winning strategy, and enabled me to really enjoy the game and get the best outta my character.
    If I had just rushed along with the story, I would have struggled greatly, and prolly would've ended up hating the game. As many did...
    So, with that roundabout tip, I leave you with 8/10 score on this quaint, fine little game. Well worth playing.

    For those looking for a unique, dread-filled experience in the RPG realm, Vampyr offers a type of game seldom seen. But much like the streets of 1918 London, expect a few bumps along the way.

    Vampyr is unique. It’s not beautiful, its combat leaves much to be desired and its limited budget shows, but if you choose to turn a blind eye to these flaws, it will captivate you with its mature, morally ambiguous story and a series of dilemmas that usually lack a “right” answer.
