    Es más aburrido que mirar por la ventana. todo diálogos, para eso mejor ver una película y hay mejor argumento. combates de generación de ps2. parece un juego indie, pero no es un juego indie.

    This is a joke at 60 dollars. It should be anywhere in the range of 10 to 25 to be reasonable.

    The single most boring game I have ever played, period. Of all the walking sims, the real-life job sims, nothing is more boring than the cliched vampire in London schlock. So much bland talking, the clunkiest combat, the samey environments, and the boldness to be more than two hours long.

    game play is trash, the characters are trash, and the camera was trash, but only thing was meh (not bad) is soundtrack and the story it is boring, and if someone want to buy it please save your money, only if you don't have waste basket then buy vampyr, also there are so many glitches in the game, some of it was funny but some of them maybe will effect on your progress, for example when Igame play is trash, the characters are trash, and the camera was trash, but only thing was meh (not bad) is soundtrack and the story it is boring, and if someone want to buy it please save your money, only if you don't have waste basket then buy vampyr, also there are so many glitches in the game, some of it was funny but some of them maybe will effect on your progress, for example when I was doing the main mission I opened the map to see where was the main mission, however there was no main missions, and how to fix it? by closing the game, that just an example for how much the bugs are there.… Expand

    Looked promising, turned out to be a really bad experience. Its frustratiolng when a game crashes 4 times in just one hour, and that was in the initial 3-4 hours into the game. The combat was poor, character movement and design was shabby to say the least. What a waste of time

    This should have been called Vampyr: Woke at Midnight. The “wokeness” of this game is pure stupidity. Apparently, 1918 London was as woke as 2019. Dontnod? More like don’t buy. I know I won’t. Thank God I bought it used so my money didn’t support this propaganda masquerading as escapism. It’s incessant. One woke cringe after the next. 0/10

    $60 for this game is a joke. It doesn't even have the AAA quality to justify the price. The graphics are bad, the mechanics are horrible. The facial animiations are so bad, I've seen PS2 games with better facial animations. The voice acting is so bad, it sounds like something I would see in a high school play.

The combat is boring and repetitive. To make matters worse, the developers set this game in 1918. I don't know why developers these days are so obsessed with setting games during ancient times. That just give games a boring atmosphere and it limits what the player can do.

    Also, there is no multiplayer. So once you beat the main story, there is no reason to touch this game again. $60 for a low budget game with no replay value is a cashgrab. I recommend you pick this game up when the price of this game drops to $5.    … Expand

    Crap game and one of the biggest disappointments in 2018. Graphic is bad, story is meh and game is slow and boring. But this is a game from the creators of the weak Life is Strange, so this game was doomed to failure.

    Terrible clunky combat, everybody just sliding and auto aiming.
    Lame dialogs.
    2014 graphics.
    Overpriced.
    And very long loading times, (writing this review while waiting).

    I tried to play this game on ps4 on multiple occasions,but I never get past second chapter because of bad optimization. I think this game had great potential,but thanks to lazy developers,this game is practically unplayable. Game freezes almost every 10 minutes and need complete restart. Items are also glitched and thanks to that I often didnt get items that should drop from certain bosses.

    They say that it takes one game to make you want to never play a game again, and this for me is that game.

    Literally anyone can make this in Dreams, and it would actually play better. It's like they have ran out of money and improvised for half or more of the game. Movement and combat is horrible and worse than Mortal Shell and Lords of the Fallen. And it doesn't make up for it in dialogue or story either

    Начну с плюсов: графика.
    Минусы: все, что относится к технической составляющей. Топорная анимация, баги, глюки, вылеты, странное падение кадров, ужасно долгие загрузки, зависания - это Vampyr. У игры часто бывают (случайным образом) подзагрузки на открытой местности или в диалогах и из-за этого происходит очень много багов. Был момент когда я(ps4P) играл со    Консоли Ps4P(ro) и Ps4S(lim).

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

    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.
