Code Vein is an exciting, rewarding, and tenebrous venture into the Souls-like space with a fantastic class system, explosive combat, and dark narrative - hindered only by its lack of visual prowess and odd UI design.
Code Vein has been able to surprise by trying to compete with From Software titles but still knows how to find its own identity. Its narration allows for an accessible and complete understanding of the story, and its rich, original gameplay brings freshness to the genre. In addition, the personalization gives the player the impression of being in a shōnen, with a sense of power. The dark atmosphere of the title is clearly successful, and the world is fascinating. Unfortunately, it suffers from its linearity and technical limitations. Code Vein is a good title on which we had an enjoyable time. However, we just hope that the follow-up content will be more effective, and that the developers will be able to push essential patches to correct its defects.
Code Vein is addictive, yet frustrating. It's promising, yet unpolished. There are a lot of interesting ideas here that come together to craft a unique and engaging experience. I just wish that the flaws here weren't so glaring, because they keep Code Vein from being a great game instead of just a good one.
If you were waiting for a Dark Souls inspired game to set your heart aflutter with vampiric themes and pulse-pounding combat…then you might want to wait a bit longer, as Code Vein definitely isn’t that game.
A ruined, post-apocalyptic anime future could have made for a fantastic game, but it falters at every genre it attempts to ape. Code Vein is clearly attempting to spin a lot of plates. But unless you’re into playing a great character creator with a bad Dark Souls clone attached to it, we’d say steer clear.
Un titre qui se réfère par bouche à oreille.
CodeVein est un puissant titre dans la tranche de Elden Ring. Sinon, le titre à s'y plonger après avoir fait Elden Ring.
Une mécanique nécessitant une apprentissage et une adaptation concernant les possibilités de Builds. Un peu un clin d'oeil de Nier Automata mélanger avec un Elden Ring, puis parfois l'impression du level design d'un Nioh. Tout mélanger ensemble vous donne une savoureuse expérience au coeur d'un univers qui vous marquera comme Elden Ring à marqué.
Une généreuse histoire avec des cinématiques bien placés. La qualité est bien présente. La qualité de ce titre est époustouflante. Des PNJ qui sont très attachants et avec qui l'on peux partager, discuter, et chacun à une spécialité à apporter. Bref, on ressens le sens de la formation et l'importance du rôle de notre protagoniste. Parlant de celui-ci, vous avez la possibilité de laisser place dans la creativité. La difficulté du titre est incontournable, les foes et les Boss sont redoutables. Pour ceux qui ont apprécié Elden Ring, une même stratégie d'analyse s'impose. L'aide en ligne vous pourra vous être d'un grand secours ou vous-même pourrez aider les autres.
Récapitulatif: après Elden Ring, si vous avez aimer Nier Automata, le level design de Nioh, c'est assurément un chef d'oeuvre qui n'a pas connu le succès qu'il aurait dû.
Good combat, nice customisation, really annoying map design. I'm getting bored from getting stuck because I missed a little passage that I had to drop on. All aside, a pretty fun game.
Code Vein is an action RPG that is HEAVILY influenced by the Dark Souls games, unfortunately it is a pale imitation in virtually every way. The combat is unsatisfying, the environments are dull cut and paste labyrinths and you seem to just fight the same enemy types over and over again. A few hours was all I could take of this game.
Not a fun game for players who don't enjoy games like Dark Souls. It's unfortunate because the character creation, story, and graphics were all enjoyable. Dying from mobs over and over again? No thanks.
SummaryIn the not too distant future, a mysterious disaster has brought collapse to the world as we know it. Towering skyscrapers, once symbols of prosperity, are now lifeless graves of humanity's past pierced by the Thorns of Judgment. At the center of the destruction lies a hidden society of Revenants called Vein. This final stronghold is whe...
