When I bought this game. I kind of went in completely blind. I just knew the characters were vampire like and the graphics looked neat. I didn’t even know people called it the anime version of dark souls until well into the game. But they weren’t wrong! Anyways, here are some of my key thoughts on this game.
Character Customization! It’s amazing! No other way to describe it. Even years later, after playing the game, I still talk about the character customization to people who have never played the game before. I treat it like a selling point. But it’s worth it! I spent hours in there making my character look like my character from another game(an mmo), and seeing the characters that other people make is insane. Sometimes I just look up other peoples designs online just to see what others have come up with. That’s how good it is!
The gameplay is good! It definitely plays like a souls game with the environments and what not. Multiplayer can be a bit wanky at times. But good enough to play. And many types play styles. Overall though, I’m happy with it!
Lastly, the plot of the game! Oh wow! It starts off a little slow, but still interesting. But man, that ending! There are 3 different endings based on how you play through the game. My first play through I got the “best” ending. But before that, there is one part in the game that made me really upset. Without giving spoilers, it felt like a twist, but it was done so good! And then having the best ending on top of that. Just wow.
Overall, I was pleasantly shocked with how much I enjoyed this game I went into knowing nothing about. I still find myself recommending it to gamers who haven’t played it years later. But don’t try and compare it to Dark Souls the entire time you play. It is it’s own game, and should be enjoyed that way. Definitely worth it!

Code Vein is not Dark Souls, and it's great!
It's not Dark Souls. It's not Bloodborne. It borrows heavily from both games but stands alone as it's own, marvelous style with the flexibility of the build system and the fantastic narrative. I love this game. I play it daily and have well over 130 hours total in at this point and I plan on running through it many more times. It's not perfect, and in fact that's what makes it all the more endearing to me.I've read complaints about the difficulty and I think those people don't understand the tools provided for managing the games difficulty. You don't HAVE to use a partner, ever. If you want the game to be a significant challenge, I'd recommend running without a partner first -- then only using a partner if you're in a situation where you can't proceed -- much like you would an NPC summon in Soulsborne. You also can't just pick one build and expect it to be the best for every situation. There are some bosses where I had to put on the lightest gear I could find so I could glide instead of roll dodge and it made all the difference in the world, especially with the Invading Executioner, which I spent the most amount of time trying to best in this game -- simply because I was using the wrong tools for the job. Later on the fights get much more challenging and there are a couple yet that I haven't been able to beat without a partner, I'm working on it :)I only have minor gripes about the game, but they're worth mentioning. Online play: it's useless if you don't need help with a boss. In other games of this variety, online play serves as a method of communication with other players through messages and bloodspots, along with PVP elements. Code Vein only has coop and it's initiated through a menu. It really seems like more of an afterthought. Music: while I liked the music to the intro sequence, the main "music" that plays in the game in menus is really irksome for me. The boss themes are operatic and reused over and over. The only one that I personally enjoyed (and seemed to fit the situation) was the boss music for Iceboobs and Fatboy.If you have a PS4 or XBox One download the demo first. What you get in the demo, you get in bulk with the game.
