I have a very hard time "just playing" games. I always want to look up missables and which perks/upgrades are best. This game is very much about making your decisions and living with the consequences and playing it without looking things up is proving to be extremely challenging for me. I'm enjoying it, but I want to look up who …

I'm enjoying it, but I want to look up who is "safe" to kill so bad.

I almost gave up on this after getting frustrated by the Soulslikeness of the combat. Started over in Story Mode (because of course you can't change the difficulty during the game) and it's actually really good. It's honestly a shame that the Normal difficulty combat gets in the way of the story so much. Kind of reminds me of The …

Oh for fucks sake.
-
Another game where losing to the boss means you have to redo part of the level?
-
Another game that makes you manually close a 100% pointless message every single time you launch it?
-
Another game whose mind-bogglingly incompetent porting team failed to properly implement PC controls?

How fucking hard is it to bind dialogue options to hotkeys? Is this some sort of long-lost art like creating Greek Fire or a good Star Trek series?
Oh god, plus the insane load times, unskippable intro movies, shiny lootables in a world full of shiny objects and dialogue that doesn't let you speed up single lines...
How do these people manage to tie their own shoelaces?

Oh, hey. I bought this last year and haven't played it yet. Reason #2,134 that I should really stop paying for games unless I immediately plan on playing them:
Vampyr is free on EGS for the next 24hrs....

Why did I only manage to perfect parry within the last 3 hours? At least that meant I was able to defeat one of the main bosses.
I guess it's a shame I have a "one playthrough" rule with RPG / multi-choice titles. As I would want to embrace everyone first and then noone at all. But I have too …

I guess it's a shame I have a "one playthrough" rule with RPG / multi-choice titles. As I would want to embrace everyone first and then noone at all. But I have too many titles in my backlog 😅
Overall, this was an enjoyable, albeit sometimes buggy, experience. I wouldn't mind playing more titles where NPC's have an impact on the world if they live or not.

I want to enjoy this title, but I keep getting hit with frequent unexpected freezing.
Not sure if it's down to my Day One PS4 or if it was released this way 🙃

Usually I hate games with stamina bars. But I'm enjoying this one so fa... nope, scratch that. This third boss (or is this the first boss?),
Time for the tenth attempt...

Giving this one a whirl. My pal @TheDoctorWurm finished it and said it was decent. Need to decide whether or not to do a predator or pacifist playstyle. Usually I choose good, but you're a #vampire, for Pete's sake...

The voice acting is good, but everything else is terrible. Combat and movement are stiff and unresponsive, the story itself is by-the-numbers boring, the text is impossibly small for no good reason, and the loading times are atrocious. I paid $8 for it and it was too much.

Finished this and enjoyed it a lot despite it being deeply flawed (and sometimes broken).
The story had really good bones,but didn't come together as well as it could have. It has me interested in the tv adaptation that is in the works. McG's involvement makes that interest wither substantially. Ideally Soderbergh would direct, Clive Owen would star, and it …

McG's involvement makes that interest wither substantially. Ideally Soderbergh would direct, Clive Owen would star, and it would be called The Knick season 3, except this time he's addicted to blood, not opium.
I atleast hope it is made for a streaming service that pauses to buffer every 7 minutes and randomly freezes so you have to restart the episode 20-30 times throughout the season. That would be an authentic adaptation of the Vampyr experience.
What an awful, broken, yet wonderful game. 2 enthusiastic thumbs up.

I wish this had a story mode.5 or something. Normal mode I was getting slaughtered, and in story mode you are an unstoppable god. Somewhere inbetween would be nice. Admittedly, I don't play a dontnod game for combat, so I am a storymode weakboy to my core.

I really love this game though. The world is wonderfully atmospheric and the setting reminds me of The Knick (though several years later in a different country). I am not killing civilians, but recently made a terrible decision (
