Customer Ratings & Reviews

I like the storyline, exploring old London. The graphics and combat simulation leave something to be desired. I have only played on storyline level. Bought it on BB DOD, worth the money!

If you’re a fan of horror you’ll be a fan of this!! It’s a great take on an old franchise! I love that you can CHOOSE to feed to make it easier for you or not feed and make it harder

Love this game very story driving the story is what sucks you in heavy the game play is amazing

FULL REVIEW: https://wp.me/p4T35p-g8k Story Dontnod calls Vampyr a AA production. While true that the game has rough spots, its overall polish is greater than several AAA titles seen this year. I expect nothing less than stellar of Dontnod when it comes to writing. They have a knack for creating an entire world for their games worthy of the silver screen. Vampyr mixes real world history with traditional vampire lore and creates something fresh. Even issues of race are touched upon. I was really happy to see things like that were not shied away from. London's mysteries wait to be unraveled and you will enjoy the experience. Gameplay While doing nothing new, Vampyr employs a gameplay design befitting the action RPG genre. You cannot run into combat Rambo-style and expect to survive. strategizing before and during combat will yield the best results. I would have like a bit more stealth as you are a creature of the shadows. The gameplay does employ a fair amount of talking; do not mistake this as a pure action title. The talking goes a long way for player immersion as you will truly feel the lives you may be taking. Graphics & Sound The graphics are one of the few cavities in the teeth of Vampyr. Fight animation is smooth, level and character design are great, but some areas just look dated. The in-game visuals also do not live up to those of cutscenes, giving a very PS3/360 feel. PC will obviously look better, but you will still be able to see flaws like wobbly characters during conversation. The music and voice acting are both top notch, but loading can interfere with music. There is also the sticking point that NPCs may repeat dialogue and make no sense. For example, Nurse Crane repeats the same dialogue outside your office as when she first welcomes you to Pembroke. Thankfully, that is about as much as I can report in terms of bugs or glitches. Bottom Line: If you game on PC, PS4 or Xbox One, Vampyr should be in your collection.

I GIVE ONE STAR BECAUSE I CAN'T PLAY NEVER LOAD THE GAME, NEVER INSTALL THE APP TO OPEN THE GAME, JUST A WAIST OF MONEY NO SUPPORT AND THE STORE WON'T RETURN MY MONEY BECAUSE THE DISC IS OPEN.

Tried this on gamepass, ended up by the ps4 version for a steal at $20. The writing is fantastic, the voice acting is superb, the story is interesting, atmosphere is mostly perfect, and the game ends on a very dramatic although abrupt note. The gameplay, though basic, is very fun. Problems revolve around awkward pacing towards the end surrounding the story/twist, enemies lvl with you creating some awkward difficulty spikes, and playing as a good character can limit your characters stats unless you do every side mission.

Vampyr is a dark dramatic story of a doctor turned vampire in turn of the century London, where the player gets to choose how the story unfolds for our character. Will you keep the Hippocratic oath and try to save as many lost souls as you can or will you give in to your newfound powers and feed on the citizens of the city. The story and the characters are both well executed and unique the only flaws I see with the game are; combat is a little simplified for a game of this play-style and you are unable to fast-travel across the relatively large map. All in all good game, and anyone looking for a more story driven game where your choices carry weight and stay with you throughout the game I recommend trying this game out.

play the game for the excellent story and incredible atmosphere. very few games have such an impressive system where literally every Non-playable Character (NPC) has an actual story and a role to play in the game world. The decisions whether to feed on/kill an NPC or not were always tough. Overall the story, characters and atmosphere are top notch. On the down side, the fighting is a hit and miss. The enemies a lot of the times are too frustrating, in part because of the way I was playing (not feeding on NPCs, thus less powers I had) but some bosses are flat out cheap. The game always likes to throw a bunch of enemies at once. I wouldn't call it a very hard game but sometimes I felt the fighting was just getting in the way of the fun I was having with the excellent story. Lastly I must mention that the game suffers from technical problems, freezing are quite common and the loading times are bad. Is this game worth getting then? yes if just to experience the story and NPC system but the frustrating combat/enemies and technical problems might just be enough to ruin someone's enjoyment...so it might also be a good idea to wait a little and see if the devs fix these problems with a patch or two.

Vampyr is a tremendous achievement considering the budget developers, DONTNOD Entertainment, had to work with. The graphics I would say are a solid 7.5 with faces being more around 8.5/9. It's London and the environment portrayed in Vampyr that makes the game shine visually. The story is engaging and forces the player to make meaningful decisions that hold consequences. The dialogue with citizens within the game can begin to be too much at times, but the information and knowledge gained on them is interesting and intriguing enough that I went through full interactions with them to get the most information I could. Overall, it is a great single player story based experience that one should not pass on.

Quality mid budget game with a decent story and great soundtrack. Action is a little repetitive but this game oozes atmosphere and features no sparkly vampires.

I really like this game and think I would like it more when the upcoming patch comes out. I wasn't a huge fan of the fighting in it but really loved how the story and world plays out depending on your encounters with its inhabitants. I didn't try it, but you can also play as a blood thirsty vampire and just kill everyone. I enjoyed the interactions more and tried not to kill anyone that didn't deserve it. The upcoming patch is supposed to tailor to those that want to focus on the story and another option that would focus on the combat. So, its a good game either way, just not great.

It's fun to a point. The graphics are great but the fighting can get monotonous. It can be glitchy and the load time is long.

Lacks in the graphics department but story and gameplay make up for it. A unique take on the genre

This game has a great story, and a fun gameplay engine where all your choices matter, combat is a bit clunky but still a fun game

This game has a dark souls style feel with a little twist. The combat while exciting is not as intesne as Dark Souls though. If you level up your character accordingly, the game is not near as hard. With that said, the level up and combat system is fun. The storyline is unique but some of the dialogue is a little too long. Overall it is a fun game.

With lots of atmosphere and intelligent writing and rich characters this is an excellent RPG. Combat is the only thing that could use some work but that is a minor thing and by the end of the game you have awesome powers and can take on pretty much anything

Gameplay is a bit different and takes some getting used to. story is compelling enough for you to want to keep playing. graphics are decent. not a bad game for the price. the concept behind it is well done. I would say to catch it on sale or used though

This isn't a AAA quality game, but by no means does that make it bad. Vampyr is an RPG focusing on choice; choice on who you kill or spare, and the choices you make during dialogue and quests. It's combat isn't amazing, but it's serviceable. And it's usually fun to use your vampiric superpowers to deal with the various threats stalking the streets of London at night. There are some significant issues with load times, so I'd recommend getting this for the most powerful system you have (PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, high-end PC). In spite of its flaws, I'd still recommend it. We need more B-games like this that are willing to experiment a bit, and provide us with new experiences.

Really intriguing story and characters. Fighting mechanics could use a patch but overall it’s pretty good too. I had a fun play through. Might go through two more times before giving it a rest. Would wait for a sale to pick it up

It's rare when your choices in a game have a real impact to the story, but Vampyr certainly feels as though your choices matter. The game does get harder the more you try to be a good character and it's easier when you're evil, but the story won't go as well for you. I loved this game.
