Vampyr - PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5

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.
