    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.

    It's very interesting to see a game that addresses the end of the Victorian era, even more so when they take advantage of the lack of basic sanitation to bring about a "vampire apocalypse". The game's setting is beautiful and proves that in addition to having the necessary budget to make an epic adventure, it demonstrates the love and dedication of the developers to make it a reality.It's very interesting to see a game that addresses the end of the Victorian era, even more so when they take advantage of the lack of basic sanitation to bring about a "vampire apocalypse". The game's setting is beautiful and proves that in addition to having the necessary budget to make an epic adventure, it demonstrates the love and dedication of the developers to make it a reality. However, it turned out to be a shallow experience, where the combat feels heavy and with few options for opportunities, in addition to having a character customization that leaves something to be desired and a need to grind so hard that it discourages playing killing as few humans as possible. Despite so many aspects that I considered negative, the story and the atmosphere held me in roleplay and encouraged me to follow Dr. Reid from beginning to end, not to mention that it's a good option for players who are just starting to get interested in promotional RPGs to start with something more basic. I also hope that the game will serve as a base for Dont'nod to improve in future projects; but above all, review its direction and production, which in my amateur eyes, was the great weakness of the project.… Expand

    Way too much repetitive dialogue and ABYSMAL combat mechanics. (I've never felt so underpowered as an IMMORTAL vampire) A game where fast travel doesn't exist and the idea of running through those stupid streets, up dead-end alleys, where stubbing your toe leads to death (thus respawning miles away) just to TRY "upgrade". **** it, I'm out. They've taken an ok idea and kept it mid at best.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Vampyr has an original concept of level up system. You either complete side quests or suck people's blood for xp. It's a decision between morality and faster xp gaining. The xp value of one's blood can be increased by finding clues about them and by doing the mission they give you. Although some of the personal stories are interesting, the only outcome of a character's development (there are 66 characters) is death by bloodsuck or death pending. There aren't really any other resolutions but the two mentioned earlier. The side characters are simply xp storages waiting to be claimed.

    Combat is clunky at first but can be mastered quickly and be then enjoyable and fair. However, most of the gameplay is hours of mostly boring dialogues presented with monotonous voice and little to none facial animations which are seen through fixated camera view. And no, you can't hammer x because it would skip all the lines of speaker A until speaker B says something and not just one line of subtitles.

    The game is 4 years old and optimization is abominable. The game regularly hardlocks and crashes.

    Between the two main characters, there is a romance which is so forced and therefore cringe. It goes from no indication at all (not even in optional dialogues) to "you're the only a woman I've ever loved" after one 20-minute long dialogue session. And then the romance revolves around the story until the end of it. I can't recall anything so fast-forward like this. Maybe "romances" in Mafia (2002) or Metro Last Light but those are rather for a sex scene and are more irrelevant to the story. Not such great effusions.

    On the top of that, the game is brimming with woke schütt. People using "independent woman" unironically, screaming feminist/marxist slogans at night. The game sometimes lets you pick one of three answers on a question but when you catch some gays doing gay things, the only thing you can say is "I support gays" or "I support gays very much" or "damn bigots!" Same with religion related questions, you can just hate Christianity but you can choose how much (not to mention every Christian is depicted as a molester or a complete lunatic).
    There were like just over a hundred Africans in London in the early 20th century, yet you meet 4 of them and all of them whine about oppression. Historically accurate.    … Expand

    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.

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.… Expand

    Bought the game last month in the psn sale. Great value and i didn't want the plus service ,i want the game. So after 20 hours the game crashed 8 times. Yeah,8 times. Sometimes the screen frozen. Sometimes the error 34878-0. Sometimes my playstation simply turn it off. Reading some reviews and forums it showed me that i've made a huge mistake buying this crap. The game in general is fun but the lack of respect from dontnod and the devs for allowing such a broken ass game for sale in the market is beyond my imagination. If i could,i would ask for i refund but here i am,without my money,without the game and with ZERO RESPONSES from dontnod,focus or vampyr game twitter account.

    I understand that many critics are just lazy shills who provide good reviews in exchange for financial and other rewards, I expect it.

    But the disparity between the critic's consensus of 70 and the reality of slogging through a god-awful, abhorrent mess has never been starker.

    I'm holding out for at least a handful of great PS5 games til I upgrade, and picked this up only because there was basically nothing left.

    I finished it, I am ashamed to say. I finished it on the hardest setting purely because I had nothing left to play, and am both stupidly stubborn in finishing what I start, along with being simply unable to drag myself away from this stunningly atrocious train-wreck.

    I can barely even begin to describe the myriad abject failures of this self-indulgent tripe, and am too angry at whoever birthed this travesty to dwell on it much longer.

    I never thought it would be possible to hate someone responsible for any particular product, but that was before I encountered the cancerous, slovenly, misguided, ineptitude and imbecility of "Vampyr".

    Victorian London, the worlds ablaze with a plague and you’re a vampire. Seems like quite the selling points, and to me it was. The world was as dreary as you would expect a plagued London to be. Dark cervices and alleyways, period dressage and socioeconomic separation. The scene was set up well, the characters were much akin to the high regard I give this game.

The scene was set up well, the characters were much akin to the high regard I give this game.

    Mechanics were functional, I enjoyed the combat, the ability progression. The natural blend of narrative and action, a combination that worked. Characters were life like, not bland or generic. London was a breathing setting, even if it was to the sound of slowly dying citizens.

    Unfortunately, as much as I praise the game it its splendour, there is that impending but. For me it was the hard crashes after twenty minutes. It’s a shame that a well-crafted world, full of charm and character falls to the clutches of backend ongoings. It’s a shame as I really wanted to explore the roots of the well-crafted levels, but alas it was not meant to be.

    In conclusion then, the world and its characters seemed well revised. The idea of being a creature of myth among the reality of a plague was insightful. Though my time was halted and swift, if ever you have better luck, I am sure that the world of which was created can play home to a chapter in a very enticing an thrilling tale, one of bloodlust and all.    … Expand

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.

    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.    … Expand

    Had fun. Not bad. Especially when you decide not to drain civilians' blood to level up easier. It makes the game harder and thus more satisfying. Multiple endings depending on your choices but I didn't dare considering the effort.

    The best that could be said about Vampyr is that it's an ambitious AA game that manages to accomplish quite a bit considering its tiny budget. Unfortunately its biggest accomplishment is its existence, being a complete game with quite a bit of content, but when you look at it as an actual experience it falls apart very quickly.

    Let me start off by saying that I couldn't care less about    The best that could be said about Vampyr is that it's an ambitious AA game that manages to accomplish quite a bit considering its tiny budget. Unfortunately its biggest accomplishment is its existence, being a complete game with quite a bit of content, but when you look at it as an actual experience it falls apart very quickly.

    Let me start off by saying that I couldn't care less about the generic plot, I truly wanted to get into it seeing as 60% of the game is an obscene amount of dialogue and exposition (an insane amount of side missions). However around 3 hours into the game I stopped trying and just started skipping the poorly acted dialogues, saving myself what I can only guess to be around 4 hours of boredom. The plot is paper thin and the character development never amounts to anything of substance.

    The gameplay and world don't hold up much better. London is tiny but getting around it is tedious. Because of the endless dead-ends and locked doors you spend hours just trying to figure out how the hell you can get from point A to point B - the hordes of respawning enemies are also frustrating since you never feel like you are progressing - they always spawn in the same places and in the same numbers slowing you down in the cheapest way possible. The combat feels like it's pulled from an early PS2 game, hit detection is terrible, locking on is a 50/50 bet and due to the adaptive difficulty, all of the enemies level up along with you so you never feel as though you've gotten more powerful.

    The game's worst element is it's adaptive difficulty which is based on the way you play. A pacifist playthrough results in endless grind, absurdly long battles and an overall feeling that you are always the weakest around. If you go wild and start killing everybody (which is what I did at one point when everyone was 10lvls above me and combat became nearly impossible) you will quickly start overpowering most enemies turning the combat into an annoying chore untill you reach the end where you will experience a truly absurd difficulty spike during the final boss battle (good luck fighting someone 15lvls above you).

    One final thing I want to mention is how badly optimized this game is. During my 30 hours with it I experienced over 20 hard crashes, endless loading screens which drag on far too long and hundreds of freezes which left me guessing whether my game had crashed or was just stuck, loading some textures.

    Overall, if you have 50-ish hours which you are ready to sink into a very mediocre AA game that feels extremely last gen, maybe Vampyr will be perfect for you and you'll be able to play through everything it has to offer. For everyone else tho, skip this one, it's yet another bad PS+ free game Sony got from the bargain bin.    … Expand

    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. 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 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.    … Expand

    Vampyr is a game that is almost great for me, making it even more frustrating that it comes so close to greatness, yet some very odd design choices hold it back and even more vexing is that these have not been patched over.

The game suffers    Vampyr is a game that is almost great for me, making it even more frustrating that it comes so close to greatness, yet some very odd design choices hold it back and even more vexing is that these have not been patched over.
    The graphics of Vampyr match the ambience. The vampire genre has been done to death and the early 20th Century Britain was a great choice of setting. The game suffers a bit from everything being a bit dark and lacking in colour, as well as the repetition of enemy sprites. Given that it’s not a AAA title it can be forgiven for not having the best graphics, however combined with the issues below makes the game suffer more for it.

    The story of Vampyr is a compelling one and being set amid the Spanish Flu pandemic made playing this game in 2020 resonate in a way nobody would ever have expected when it was released. It took me some getting used to, as at first so many names and information was thrown at me that I found it overwhelming and couldn’t keep track of quests and characters very well. The dialogue choices are a key component of Vampyr, and there is definitely plenty to sink your teeth into, however I also found it got rather mundane by the midpoint of the game, as I sent a good 50% of my time in conversation, another 30% wandering around lost, and the rest in combat.
    In order to develop your dialogue choices with characters you have to acquire clues from taking to other people or by finding evidence, both of which are essentially fetch quests. This is further confounded by the gameplay of Vampyr, which is where I had such a tumultuous love-hate relationship with the game.

    The fundamentals of the game is your choice between feeding your hunger or by resisting and therefore stabilizing the local community. The problem I found with this is that by being the good guy and not feeding off people you actually make the game harder for yourself as you are weaker unless prepared for the inevitable fights. Furthermore, it was often quicker and easier to just bite someone rather than pursue their banal quests to complete their dialogue and story. You unlock powers very quickly doing this and therefore have a much greater motive to be a ‘bad’ guy than the good guy. On one hand this may seem unbalanced, however it could also be argued that it provides more of a difference in the choice you make, as you see a visible impact around you when you continually take lives.

    However all of the above is greatly undermined and almost deemed irrelevant as the developers made some rather silly choices and omissions in their game design. Firstly, this game suffers badly from there being no fast travel. I don’t understand how this wasn’t implemented even after launch as many reviews have noted its absence. Secondly, this is further exasperated by some bad layouts on the map itself. The game is made almost entirely out of corridors and streets, with random gates locking off sections of the game, meaning you have a tedious journey to get around these and open them from the other side. This is also very odd given that you have a kind of teleport ability that lets you reach certain ledges, but a simple gate seems to be your kryptonite. These two aspects of the game mean that no matter how good the rest of the game is, it will be difficult to enjoy when there is ample tedious travel.

    What really brought this game down in my ranking for it was when I reached the final boss and discovered the most unbalanced portion of the game (SPOILERS). The last boss was extraordinarily highly-levelled and upon reading online (yet again!) I discovered specific skills and weapons were needed to defeat it; that or grind for more arduous hours. This is a fundamentally broken mechanic and the cherry on top of my poisoned experience with Vampyr.

    Finally, a special mention also goes to the combat. They seem to have imitated SoulsBorne games here but haven’t quite succeeded. Many enemies and bosses to require an engaging amount of strategy, however also suffer from being overly cheap with their attacks (some even summon ghosts to attack all at once) and having inconsistent health bars, in that the damage you do to them is high one minute then minimal the next. The most frustrating aspect is probably how few exp you get from defeating enemies, which made me want to avoid fights altogether, when the game should be encouraging you to explore all mechanics to stimulate you with diversity.

    Overall, Vampyr is more frustrating than enjoyable at times. Frustrating because game design isn’t always great, but also frustrating because I can see how great this game could be with a few minor tweaks and a couple of bigger tweaks. The concept and premise are excellent, while I have big grievances with the level designs and minor frustrations with things such as tiny fonts. There is plenty of lore and socializing to get lost in, but this ‘Doctor Simulator’ is hard to recommend    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

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.

The blood meter system is pretty cool, having to bite people to be able to use abilities which often led to some challenging battles when I ran out of blood. However, other than that it got very boring. Early in the game I had already picked out my weapon choice and the game doesn't really encourage you to try different weapons except from the tutorial. This leads to you using the same abilities and weapon choice through most of the game, making every enemy encounter the same fight. There are a variety of abilities to choose from but only a few of them seem to be useful in combat, there was no point using a shield ability when all I'm doing is dodging and hitting attack each battle.

    The story and world was what had me interested. It's such an interesting story that gets set up pretty well at the beginning and you learn more and more as you play. This makes you want to play more so that you can find out more about the lore. However, because of the gameplay I just couldn't be bothered to keep going.

    The levelling up system is very unique but was very frustrating slowing down the gameplay even more, You could only level up when you went to sleep, and if you decide not to suck blood from civilians the game is made even harder. If you decide to eat civilians you get a huge boost in XP, but it makes that area of the city worse in terms of health. I decided not to do this which meant I was 5-7 levels below the enemies which then makes the gameplay slower and more frustrating.

    Overall, the game has an interesting story to follow and a detailed world to explore, but the gameplay was holding it all down resulting in a frustrating experience.    … Expand

    But what i hated the most, were the decisions and the autosaving. Most of the time, I didn't know what the good or the bad decision was, because I didn't know how the characters would react on some of the dialog decisions. The i choose the wrong option and BOOM the hint was gone.
    I am perfectionist and I play my games as one. And I hate it when I cant unlock all dialog options, doors or chests. I was forced to run through this empty world, seeing looked doors and areas I couldn't reach, and I didn't know what i had to do or what i did wrong. It was sooo frustrating.
    Some of the side quests weren't completable, if you hadn't reach a specific point in the main quest.

    The choice you had to make in every district when you finished it, felt like it had no impact on the result. I don't wanted Nurse Crane to blackmail Elizabeth anymore, but i don't wanted to kill her.
    So i erased her memory, of the information against Elizabeth. I wanted Nurse Crane to stop blackmailing her and continue her work in white chapel, or so i thought. Because in the end she just had to die. I was frustrated because, this was not the result i wanted, but i could load my saved game, because you can't.

Начнем с плюсов: 1) Шикарная атмосфера. Очень напоминает бладборн, везде какая-то кровь, мрачно, некоторые локации пугают 2) Саундтрек. Очень хорошая музыка в этой игре, прекрасно дополняет общую атмосферу. 3) Главные персонажи: персонажи харизматичные, с интересными историями, мне понравилось. 4) Боёвка. Этот пункт я отнесу и в плюсы, и в минусы. В целом, при правильной раскачке удовольствие от игры получать можно. Много разных скиллов, разные виды оружия, главное всё правильно настроить и драться будет интересно. 5) Сюжет: несложный, без каких-то неожиданных поворотов, но интересный, неспешно развивающийся, мне тоже понравилось. Теперь поговорим про минусы, их в игре намного больше. Начнем с главного: 1) Баги. Очень много багов. Ни в одной игре я столько багов не встречал. Раз 10, наверно, у меня игра просто ступорилась, когда я куда-то шел и зависала, приходилось перезаходить в игру заново. Была ситуация, когда не загрузилась сюжетная катсцена.... Уж что говорить, если даже на экране загрузки во время включения игры лаги есть... Оптимизация на ПС4 ужасная, в общем, не знаю, как на ПК, но тут видно отсутствие нормального бюджета. 2) Экраны загрузки. Это просто какой-то ужас. Ты входишь в новую локацию или в какой-то большой дом, и ты должен 30 секунд сидеть на экране загрузки, ждать, когда же оно всё прогрузится. Еще одно совпадение с бладборном... В бладборне это пофиксили, правда, после релиза, в этой игре это, видимо, останется навсегда. 3) Боёвка. Если неправильно качаться и взять не то оружие, то играть будет тяжело, неинтересно и не увлекательно, ближе к концу игры надоедает. В игре, где у тебя есть ВЫБОР как качаться, билды должны быть равносильными, тут же непонятно что. 4) Кривой баланс уровней. Если играть в доброго вампира и никого не есть, то уровня не хватает вообще. Враги выше тебя на 10 лвлов, ты их просто не дамажишь, и ты ОБЯЗАН кого-то есть, потому что иначе ты не получишь уровень и не пройдешь боссов. Это поразительно в игре, где тебе предоставляют выбор - кого убивать, а кого нет. 5) Пустой однообразный открытый мир. Мир абсолютно бедный, неинтересный, смотреть не на что, просто бегаешь туда-сюда и бьешь мобов, которые заново появляются. 6) Нет быстрых телепортаций. Здесь просто без комментариев. Пускай карта небольшая, но постоянно бежать из точки А в точку Б как-то не комильфо, особенно если они в разных частях карты. 7) Побочные персонажи интересные, но болтология ближе к концу игры надоедает. Если вначале тебе интересно всё это изучать, то в конце уже абсолютно наплевать кто есть кто, однообразие надоедает.… Expand

I noticed that when there are too many enemies (about 6-7) on the screen, the game can’t handle it anymore. What a way to force you to fight every enemy before moving on.

    Vampyr is created by Dontnod, the creators of Life is Strange, because of this you would think the story would be its strongest part but oddly enough it’s really not. There are many plot points set up that pull you in but you’re left disappointed by game’s end as most of the defining points are left hanging with no definite or satisfying conclusion. I played through the game as a goodVampyr is created by Dontnod, the creators of Life is Strange, because of this you would think the story would be its strongest part but oddly enough it’s really not. There are many plot points set up that pull you in but you’re left disappointed by game’s end as most of the defining points are left hanging with no definite or satisfying conclusion. I played through the game as a good vampire, without mesmerizing and eating a single citizen, in which I got the ‘good +’ ending. Let me tell you; don’t do this type of playthrough. It’s boring as all heck.

    The menus in this game are very strange, it operates like you’re playing on a PC, having you move the joystick to get the cursor over what you want to select. But this game was on consoles and PC at release. As for reading lore, the type they chose is tiny, I often had to lean forward and squint at the TV to be able to read it all. Also, when you’re sitting there reading, if you don’t move your cursor for like a minute the game goes to the pause menu. I’m already in a menu, why is it acting like I stepped away from the game and forgot to pause? It did it four times during a long collectible page! As for opening the skill tree, you see all these skills and think there’s a lot of choice but many of the vampire powers are useless (I really only used 3 blood powers) and you won’t find yourself really needing to invest in health or stamina past 3 levels. What you do need is a high blood amount upgrade for the first half of the game, as you’ll find it more difficult to acquire fresh blood early.

    I don’t understand the reviews about how difficult the combat is. It’s not that it’s difficult but rather that it’s incredibly repetitive as there are only 3 enemy types for Priwen , 2 for vampires & 3 Skall types. You will see and fight them hundreds of times. And this is where the problem of the game not having fast travel comes into play. You’re constantly required to trek back and forth across the city and by the halfway point you just want to jump there, not keep running and fighting the same people over and over. They say & do the same thing each time. Speaking of, if you hear the phrase “I have this THIRST for blood” in your sleep, I wouldn’t be surprised. This then leads into you being OP because of all the XP from these enemies. I stopped using particular weapons or stopped upgrading them because I didn’t want their damage too high. I was trying to make a difficult fight for myself because this game will not do it for you. If you play on easy, it’s too easy, if you put it to hard, the enemies are just annoying.

    This of course leads into the boss battles being easy also. They’re called bosses but they could barely hurt me, I only used 2 health serums and 1 blood during the entire game! Sometimes you were in random locations when boss health bars popped up with names you didn’t even know, but it took little effort to defeat them as well. As for the story of the bosses themselves, it was almost nonexistent. There was no great plot leading up to the fight and you didn’t feel accomplished after their defeat. Usually you wondered why you were fighting them.

    Storywise the game starts off really strong, starts to drag midway thru and dies by the end. Vampire lore is set up pretty well, until it starts to contradict itself and established lore. Whoever heard of vampires being able to sustain themselves on other vampires’ blood? There are many citizens in each district who will acquire illnesses you must heal every time you use a bed to upgrade if you don’t want the district to fall into chaos. It’s awful because the story is usually focused on 1 district a chapter and it’s a slog to run back to heal these people. Not only that but you can talk to them all about problems they’re having and that’s that. Nothing can be done about it, you can’t be a doctor and heal the man’s arm, the 2 doctors arguing over a surgery type won’t come to any conclusion, etc. You meet a fellow vampire, Lady Ashbury, who takes you under her wing, except she never teaches you anything important and quickly becomes the worst character in the game. She felt like she was to be a mentor and yet you get clotheslined with a paper-thin romance. The lead up and reveal of your creator was half-baked and made no sense. And the game’s ending focused on the stupid romance rather than giving a nice story. It all seemed rushed.

    Overall, I’d rather play Life is Strange. If you want to try this game anyways, rent it or buy it real cheap, you’re not going to want to pick it up a second time.    … Expand

Был момент когда я(ps4P) играл со своей(ps4S) и была миссия, подняться на второй этаж склада и забрать виски.. или что-то такое. Когда мы были на верху, произошла случайная подзагрузка (у меня когда дверь открывал, у моей на лестнице) и у меня игра просто закрылась, у моей начались сильные падения кадров, помог только перезапуск игры.
    Геймплей уныл и дисбалансирован. Увернуться от врага то еще испытание, даже отскочив на безопасное расстояние и зайдя врагу за спину, враг все равно может нанести урон, даже если повернут спиной к персонажу. Учитывая, что у игры загрузки по минуте+, то на боссах это целое испытание, головная боль и ожоги чуть ниже спины.
    Я не знаю, зачем разработчики, которые ничего не понимают в Сулслайк геймплее, выбрали именно такой вариант... Тут бы идеально подошло что-то вроде Dishonored... Но... Что говорить о тех, кто за 2 года так и не исправил свою игру.
    Было и такое: когда в момент диалога игра снова подгружалась и все НИПы стали похожими на Гулей из Фоллыча, а реплики нельзя было пропустить. Игра вообще не любит быстрое поведение игроков, то и дело, что начнет подгружать, то зависнет, то закроется.
    На счет сюжета ничего сказать не могу т.к. наверное (я лично) буду удалять, хоть завязка и заинтриговала. Но в этот кусок кода физически больно играть. Даже за бесплатно ее не рекомендую, хоть в нашем случае именно так ее и заполучили (PSplus).    … Expand

    Details. It is beautifully created world with lots of details. For eg. just look in the windows and you could see the room with furniture and other staff inside. There are some flaws like - 3 same paintings in the mansion (sure people have a money to purchase different painting). But the rest is so beautifully recreate the gloomy atmosphere
    Music. It is support the dark atmosphere and perfectly match other details
    Gameplay. Surprisingly it is very enjoyable. Something between Dark Souls and Witcher. Each time you are develop your character, the battle become more interesting.
    Characters. The crucial part of the game. They are very well developed and implemented with own personalities. And you could kill everyone :) but look, they are so awesome, that my first playthrough i tried to keep everyone alive, but the story and you actions could lead to unexpected course of events. And the world is adapt, if you kill someone, next night his wife could already be with another man and related persons are saying about his death. And this is so influent. Wasteland 3? maybe it has more variety of the choices, but for me they are more straightforward.

    Cons:
    Sure this game wasn't develop by big Company, and not so polished as RDR2, the movements and some texture is not so superb, but creators made a fantastic game with resources they have.

    I score 10/10 because i would like the team to continue what they are doing, it is really outstanding games with the soul compare to EA and Ubisoft games focused on your money not the game itself.    … Expand

    A unique game that takes place in a 1919 epedemic. Interesting game mechanics around who to feed on to level up and develop. However the map is pretty confusing, combat feels clunky and there are serious performance issues. Its a shame as this could be a real gem if they ironed out some of the issues

    Vampyr is a collection of wonderful ideas held back by a limited budget and a dated engine.

    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.
