Nov 22, 2019I know the grade I give for this game doesn't fit, but it's more for opinion. Well, like games that have a kinda anime footprint, they end up having scenes where hair, clothes or the like cross each other, and so on. but in other respects he looks like a dark souls but anime that caught my attention, I don't know about you.

Oct 18, 2019Such an underrated game with great story, really fun to play! You should play and support it
-
Oct 4, 2019As someone who’s played every souls-like game and gotten platinum trophies on all but two (Sekiro and Surge 2), I can easily say that this is one of the best. I absolutely love it! So much so that after buying the deluxe edition and playing through it, I just got done ordering a collectors edition from Japan so I can have the Mia statue. If you remotely like these types of games, get it.
-
Dec 2, 2019I really like it.It's like Dark Souls/Bloodborne, but it doesn't make you wanna kill yourself with a PS4 controller. So it's not easy but LOT easier than those two. Character customization is great.
I'm not sure about the story, but that is secondary subject in this kinda game. -
Oct 1, 2019Very enjoyable souls-like, a bit floaty for the combat it does take some getting used to. Other than that a very good attempt at that souls like format. Also very much enjoy that there is a solid (albeit goofy) story attached to the game.
-
Sep 30, 2019This game is amazing, the combat is great, the story is has some suspense and mystery that draws you in making you want more. Overall this game is a good time!
-
Nov 3, 2019Great game! Clearly underrated. Playing solo makes it more difficult than any other soulslike.
-
Jan 24, 2020it's sad to see these stupid game journalists give such a beautiful game a low score. sure it has some flaws but the enjoyability factor FAR outweighs the minor flaws.truly an amazing game

Oct 2, 2019Great game, does what every souls like game should. It takes some ideas from dark souls and then they put their own spin on it.
-
Oct 23, 2019Critics DO NOT KNOW BALLS
That's why user score is much higher than critic score -
Sep 29, 2019amazing bosses a lot of content!!! the character customization is awesome! the gameplay is fun, a lot of builds is not a master piece but is a good game!
-
Sep 30, 2019Top tier character customization, interesting story, excelent music, likeable characters with solid story arcs and unique class system (Blood Codes). The IA could be better, more faster, but it is a good game overall.

Feb 2, 2020Incredible levels of customisation from visuals to class-building make your experience with Code Vein feel unique, despite the rather linear level design. The combat system has a good amount of depth and complexity to get lost in, though it may put new players off as it can seem like information overload.

Oct 12, 2019I ordered this game based on the character creation and anime aesthetic alone but it's also a good game. Don't let the hypocrite activist's posing as journalists scare you off.

Oct 18, 2019The best souls-like so far... I liked so much that game... I played the whole game alone and i found too easy... In the 3° last map, more or less, just there he get more hard... And 1 or 2 mechanics going very Wrong, like the hitbox bugged...
But the game is very fun and beautiful is impressive Some details and the flued animation.. -
Oct 9, 2019Very good Souls clone even its not that hard as Dark Souls itself. Anyway its really good game with interesting story and some really good done mechanice.

-
Oct 5, 2019This game is really good.The graphics are amazing... It's a very nice touch with bandai namco has done. I think the sound needs a tad bit of a touch-up I can barely hear the voices over the sound effects and music. The gameplay is very solid it's not too hard but it's not that easy either you mixing up blood codes and blood vessels is a very nice addition

Oct 10, 2019Great Game, espcially for people who always wanted to play a „Souls-like“ but never get really into it.
-
Oct 9, 2019I was pleasantly surprised throughout my playthrough on how well made the game was. There are obvious comparisons that can be made to games like dark souls, however, code vein does a good job about standing out from the crowd. From its unique anime art style, to its rich storytelling, and action paced combat, it was a thrill ride all the way through.
-
Oct 10, 2019Deserves 10/10 just for the combat system alone. 11/10 if ur also a weeb lol.
-
Oct 11, 2019If you like souls-like games but you hate dying over and over again, this game is for you. The gameplay is so fun and the graphics are amazing.
-
Nov 1, 2019Gran juego, esta bien realizado y excelente historia, la música es muy buena y la personalización es entretenida.
-
Nov 1, 2019Bom jogo com uma excelente história, teve umas quedas de frame q precisam ser corrigidas, o coop é mt bem incentivado já q é a proposta principal do game, poderia ter mais opções para a personalização de personagem, mas no geral um ótimo jogo
-
Nov 8, 2019Una de las sorpresas del año,jugabilidad,OST y variedad de builds sobresalientes.
-
Nov 19, 2019un gran juego al puro estilo soul, pero con caras kawais jajaja combates entretenidos gran dinamica y se puede jugar con amigos lo q lo hace mas divertido e interesante

Oct 2, 2019Fun game challenging but fair if you love anime and dark souls you should play this! Hands down on of my fav games that came out late in the year but was worth the wait!
-
Oct 2, 2019It's anime Bloodborne and I'm loving every minute of it. Great customization for any play style.
-
Sep 30, 2019Anime Bloodborne, Its amazing. hard, scary at times, and while the plot is a little cliche, it was an easy plat, it was a fun experience, and if youre on the fence, Id say tis worth 40$ for sure. if yo like anime and challenging games, its worth the 60

Oct 1, 2019Muy buen juego, argumentalmente intenta ser mas sencillo que otras sagas, pero intentando mantener el interes en la historia a seguir avanzando, la jugabilidad es solidad y te da la oportunidad de poder cambiar de bulid en la misma partida sin grandes sacrificios. buenos mapas interconectados y buen diseños de bosses

Dec 9, 2019Absolutely loved this game. Souls-like gameplay done in an anime art style. Unlike most souls games, there are characters with actual backstory and explainations of what you're trying to accomplish and why. I would give this game a 10 but there are certain scenes that cannot be skipped and while trying to plantinum trophy the game I simply don't want to sit through them over and over.
-
Sep 27, 2019There are users complaining about the sexism of the game. That is not what you are asking to be evaluated. Do not mix.
Code Vein has the best character creation, and has good and fun gameplay, deserves to be respected. -
Sep 29, 2019Very good game. Well deserved have some frame drops but nothing that cant be correcet with update.
-
Oct 5, 2019I just finished this game and it feels fantastic. Get rid of your companion if you really want a soulslike experience. Just like coop in dark souls, companions make the game super easy.

Sep 27, 2019Extremely fun game! Not as good as Soulsborne, but it offers unique elements of its own. The character creator and the Blood Code class systems which allows you to mix and match unique class abilities from multiple classes AFTER you have maxed and mastered a certain Blood Code is very interesting and fun. The game offers a good amount of replay value based on this alone.
-
Sep 27, 2019One of the best games ever released in 2019 has a fun gameplay similar to Dark Souls. The game did have an effort from Bandai Namco. The media, like IGN, is trying to destroy and humiliate Bandai Namco fans
-
Sep 27, 2019It's one of the greatest games that showed potential and it even delivered the anime style of the game was awesome some say it's a dark souls copy but this ain't true it's more than that you'll get to know when ya'll play it
-
Sep 27, 2019I honestly don’t know what the critics problem is. It’s a new it’s bound not be perfect but this game is simply beautiful in all aspects. Great story and characters , awesome character building and did I mention stunning to look at . I’m in love !

Sep 27, 2019Alot better than some reviewers would tell you. But dont go into it expecting dark souls 4 its trying to do it's own thing and very much succeeds.
-
Sep 29, 2019Don’t listen to the minority snowflake rainbow army critics hating on this game, the user scores represent how good the game is. We are now in a era of where the so called critics who rate games are nothing more then agenda driven trash, who rate games based on their politics etc, not on the game itself.
-
Sep 29, 2019I mean I might be not harsh enough but i like it a lot love the anime aspect love that it's not as hard as dark souls not that I don't mind the difficulty in the souls games at all just a nice change to relax a bit more xD

Oct 3, 2019Un juego del género Soulsborne con estética anime y muy entretenido, me ha enganchado desde el principio.
Tiene una caracterización del pj bastante amplia, además de una gran variedad de movimientos y habilidades. -
Nov 14, 2019I think it is a very good game for those who want to enter the souls genre cautiously, it has a good story, good characters, excellent scenarios , a good difficulty , and a good soundtrack.
The first souls game that I could enjoy and that encourages me to play a darksouls or bloodborne -

Dec 2, 2019Code Vein brings a few interesting additions to the recognizable souls-like formula. It's stylish, anime-like and has some cool moves & classes, and lets you bring an AI friend to keep you from feeling lonely while being really useful in combat. Well, most of the time. If you are itching for some quality souls-like experience, try this - it could be just what you were looking for.
-
CD-ActionNov 25, 2019Code Vein has its heart in the right place but I really wouldn’t want to spend my time playing stuff that have been already done better somewhere else. If a potential sequel finds its own identity, it would be an interesting addition to the genre. [13/2019, p.58]

Oct 24, 2019CODE VEIN is a vast disappointment, miles away from any of From Software's games, and the only thing to save is the blood code system which allows lots of freedom in the character customization.
