This game is absolutely amazing, the impact of that can have your decisions on the game and the amount of details put on the npc are so good ! I really hope for a sequel…
@@GDZILL Free roam to an extent, it's a semi-open world composed of four districts, amenable to destruction based on your actions and choices, this game is a vibe give it a try !
This game badly needs a sequel that is much more open, not crazy open but a lot more open with more movement capabilities and just freedom that would be the perfect vampire game
This seemed open enough for me. But it could have been a little larger. Like maybe if they did a sequel they could open some areas outside the city, like the Moors of England. They're always creepy at night. And maybe put a town or two out there like in American Werewolf In London with those creepy superstitious people at the Slaughtered Lamb(bar).... But still try to keep it back in these earlier times. Like maybe the 30's or something. That would take it 20yrs past the first game.
Spot on review! I legit loved Vampyr, although I'll admit the combat is its weakest point. The moral choices you have to make are meaningful and the atmosphere in a ravaged London is top notch. The soundtrack alone in Pembroke Hopsital always puts me in a melancholy mood. The map is a bit weird. I think they tried to do a From Software map design but definitely didn't nail it. It runs well at 60fps on PS5. Will have to return to it sometime. I just finished Kena: Bridge of Spirits and am in the middle of Inscryption. What a game!
Nice! Kena was an unreal achievement for Ember Labs debut title. Vampyr deserves a sequel. It might not be perfect but Don’t Nod were onto something here. A sequel could give them a chance to hone their craft and refine the weak parts of Vampyr. Cheers for watching Zane!
I think this game is in my top 10 of all time. Decent combat, great lore and storytelling. Decisions that matter, survival components such as keeping citizens healthy to keep the district going. Its only downside is that it can be hard to find out how to get places your first playthrough.
I was disappointed with this game.. it turns out that everything cool you can do would mean you have to kill people ....but if you do that you can't complete quests etc.... The whole game is created around this weird MORAL DILEMMA thing that in order to be strong you have to kill but if you kill you actually make things worse in some sense ... I don't know how to explain it but it has a similar stupid mORAL system like METRO EXODUS has.
@@tanelviil9149 I hate to be that person, but I think that this is just a skill issue. I've finished the game on max difficulty without killing anyone and yes, it was challenging, but I was able to do everything. And yes, the moral dilemma is important, as it's literally the core of any vampire's existential crisis.
At the risk of sounding sarcastic, how is that a satisfying reward to painstakingly play without victims? This is what I hate about modern gaming, that pundits are happy about digital achievements that are completely meaningless and can be churned out by summer workers and interns in the gaming industry. We need to feel an actual weight of our actions in such games instead of unlocking lackluster achievement "rewards" Such things sound like "pride and accomplishment" from idiots like Andrew Wilson!
@@jeffreyokun2355 you clearly haven't played the game as the ending is different depending on your choices in the game. This game is 100x better than the garbage that is being released in 2024. And one of the best story and narrative based games I've ever played.
@@yaroslavchernyshov3725 Sorry to disappoint you but I have purchased and played the game, it just was not my cup of tea, while you seem to really like it, which is perfectly fine. I could not be engaged enough to play the game to the ending and uninstalled halfway through.
I played this right before rdr2 in 2018, and the honor system (in rdr2) was a bit disappointing when I had gotten used to the Vampyr system. Rdr2 is an absolutely fantastic game, but it's so easy to change your reputation it feels almost meaningless. I still think rdr2 is the better game, but Vampyr actually made me feel conflicted about certain actions and sometimes I thought I was doing the right thing but I wasn't. While rdr2 made me care for the characters through how real they felt, while Vampyr made me feel responsible for them through knowing how much of an impact my actions might have for their lives. It's just sad to think what could be possible for AAA companies to achieve if it wasn't about making maximum profit. Though I also think having a limited budget is good for creativity and it makes me appreciate what indie and AA studios manage to put out.
I just did my final project in my Game Scoring class analyzing Olivier Deriviere's score to this game. Genuinely a masterful score that doesn't get enough praise in my opinion. So glad that this game is still being talked about, it's one of my absolute favorites!
I love Vampyr. The voice actor for Jonathan is a national treasure! I would love to see Vampyr 2, with more emphasis on a larger world, continued story which transitions into new characters and challenges.

You hit the nail on the head. I love gaming but have a very short attention span. AAA games look beautiful but none keep me engaged because too much is going on. I lose interest quick. Adhd and a tbi (corwbar into my frontallobe) ruined me. ialways end up loving AA so much more.
I remember how played this game, it was classic videogame experience, you have the game and you play it, it's not buggy, has interesting decisions and great bosses. I played on hard mode and was just shoked when after several "donations" in some districts all the population just got eaten by monsters and I lost precious exp, still I loved the story and ofc reloading after being kicked by the bosses, the ending is perfect for that game imo, sad and melancholic. Solid 7.5/10
AA games are becoming my new go to. They have the soul of times of old. More passion. Theyre not meant for everyone, and perfect for someone. Some real gems out of them honestly.
Good review. I've been playing through this one and it's good but not perfect. The story and world building is engaging but sometimes it's tiresome having the game come to a halt for an hour at a time whilst you explore dialogue options and have to heal lots of Npcs. I like the combat as it keeps you on your toes, but you have to invest in stamina a lot if you don't want to get stuck at a pivotal moment. Though maybe that's because I've been going for cudgels and Mace's, which is another issue, you have a ton of different offensive and defensive ability options but I've not found them worth the huge expense, why bother when I can get away with smacking enemies with a big stick, biting them, rinse and repeat? Unless I get cornered I rarely have an issue. Its not the most balanced game. Also although it's fun to see more fights breaking out in the streets, it still could have benefitted from fast travel, since winding paths with dead ends are common and it can take forever to go back and forth in the deceptively small map. Still, a decent title, maybe a 7/10.
I forgot to mention the CRASHING. This thing froze about a dozen times in the run, usually at the start of fights vs the priwen guard for some reason. Auto saving means this is just slightly annoying, but be wary
I miss double AA games so much!! There was so much creativity on display and on the best years of AA games there was almost no separation made between AAA and AA as long as thee games were good many of our favorites games were in fact AA but we thought back then that they were AAA the most recent AA that i fall in love with was Evil west and the shadow warrior trilogy reboot ppl dont even realiza that one of the best gsme ever ( time spliters) was a AA title publish by a AAA company EA! I want a revival so bad because the truth is that this games was dripping with soul and love! Spec ops the line was another AA game that ppl though was triple A and back then the AA games were in such strong position that almost weekly they make the cover of the most prestigius video game magazines they put banger after banger and of of course the AAA machine get sick of the AA shenanigans and destroy the balance by buying them off... in regards of vampyr is really good deeply flaw but deeply good to! Idk why Dotknot havent do a sequel or more AAs games like this one is like everyone is scared to take any kind of risk and is a damn shame!! Btw sorry for my awful English and grammar is not my native language
Vampyr is one of my favourite games. One thing i didn't like is the fact that you can see some chests being out of reach and when you eat the npc you thought had the key to reach it, they give you nothing. I badly want a sequel and i would love if it was made like the recent Deus Ex games where you can explore more
Because of your description I just realized that AA games are my absolute favorite. AAA have too much to do and are often overwhelming and Indie games I feel like leave me needing morning. As for Vampyr, I'm on my first major playthrough as a pacifist which makes the game inherently harder because you don't kill Citizens but gives it a nice role playing aspect (I feel it fits Jonathan's character) and you have to really think about how you make your build. The trophy at the end is a bonus too. Overall I love this game and it is the perfect game for me
Just a tip for future reviews, get to the point sooner and less "memes". Most of us came here to see if the games worth it, not sit through dialogue and attempts at being funny. Not even trying to hate, just the truth.
I believe the no fast travel was more to form a relationship between the player and the districts. Learning where people live so you can heal them or see them for information is a big part of the game.
Problem 1: Locked doors. Locked doors make getting through the environment very difficult. As I played the game I thought the locked door obstacles were ridiculous. Because he's a vampire. So wouldn't he be able to just destroy the door? Problem 2: The stamina bar. Fighting takes his stamina. Dodging takes his stamina. Sprinting takes his stamina. Like wtf??? How can he get tired? He's a vampire for Christ's sake! Vampires don't get out of breathe cause they are undead supernatural creatures. Problem 3: No stealth killing. Why? He's a VAMPIRE who can turn invisible and has sharp melee weapons. You should be able to stealth kill the 💩 out of human enemies. I love vampires and the game was visually great. But the gameplay is a LOT more difficult than it has to be.
Bravo This is the correct definition of this game I kept referring to this in my comments but I didn't know how to say the exact point on i Bravo I gave a big like someone wanted to make fun of those who play this game yes I don't recommend this mess unless you want to get on your nerves and you have nothing to do then yes but otherwise no🤝👏☺
it's not about the metacritic rating it's about the combat mode and the performance enhancement mode this game is totally unbalanced when it comes to combat and performance enhancement you have no resources to improve your performance with the combat mode is horrible because that it made the vampire tired like an asthmatic he gets tired very quickly he gives an asthmatic If you have known an asthmatic you will find that without that inhaler he can't leave he chokes like that and this vampire in the game is very vulnerable when he fights with people not he has no strength at all if he succeeds it is locked Is there any door he is not able to force it to open if it is a pig door with bars he is not able to pass through them as you well know in many places there is a tradition to put garlic on the window and the crucifix is like that and in the vampire movies so he can't get into the house even if the window is closed Here he's not able to go through some bars he's not able to jump off the side in serious gear and he's very weak in combat mode Search the movies with vampires you will see characters sick people in the film I say who would have had the chance to meet him a friendly vampire seeing his suffering Offer to help him telling him that he is complete he will only be able to see the sun from the inside no to warm to him no he will still be able to be with his people if he can't help but strip himself for a little while he won't be able to eat human food all the things he knows and likes friend he still absolutely has to give up in favor of the gift offered and he will have eternal life and perfect health for sure if the suffering is enormous he agrees to make this compromise it is movies that deal with such subjects the respective character after receiving the gift becomes healthy after the first mouthful of blood this is given by the person who made him healthy who he helped him the first time from a vessel then he shows him how to get in by other ways and along with his health he also gets a very great strength but here in the game our vampire is still iasmatically sick he gets tired only he jumps around two or three times very vulnerable to people's hits it's like he's still human The game is very unbalanced from the fighting mode and that's what pulled the game down that has negative reviews because the combat mode is totally unbalanced and when you meet enemies you are attacked by all of them at once in the worst possible way and it hinders the enjoyment of playing to go from one side to another It forces you to go through enemies you can't get around by climbing the house on the balconies or somewhere like that in some places you can climb But not everywhere and that drags the game down a lot Anyone who has seen vampire movies and sees this gameplay is instantly disgusted because in the gameplay mode Combat is not treated as a vampire and as a normal person who after a few soft hits dies and that's the problem I gave up and I'm not going back to the mess This is just frustration ua-cam.com/video/O_MFk3pARGY/v-deo.html to better understand what I mean watch this sequence from the movie As you can see all his life the main character was human he could walk on two legs Even as an adult After he became a vampire he had a strength that he couldn't no one to stand in front not even one like him in the end he fights his friend who became a vampire But he did bad things they killed people indiscriminately and to stop him he had to destroy him But this is the conception of man in a regarding a person who was human and then with or without his will he became a vampire he gets much stronger and regains his health and he gets it if he didn't have one in this game it's not like that actually he's asthmatic with an inhaler he gets tired with almost every movement And if you look here in the sequence this is much more complex moves and you can't see any signs of fatigue on NONE of them so this game misrepresented the legends of the movie Turning Combat into a total mess and that's why the reviews are negative learn to rate games and by gameplay not only graphics and dialogues and characters because the person who plays a game plays it to feel good and if the combat is a mess and is designed to fail only to bring you frustration then the game is not good then you better get a book or you watch a movie and you don't have the frustration that you get when you want to pass a certain part of the game and you can't because of the combat combat combat mode this is what people are looking for when they access a game the satisfaction of defeating succeeding not dialogues and graphics as much as the satisfaction of succeeding here in this game does not exist so I do not recommend this game to anyone better watch the movie from this address and others and you will have greater satisfaction I have seen the movie is very good
@@iulianborcean7753 I don’t personally recommend this game just because the combat is boring. Nevertheless, the performance is 62fps when uncapped and never drops, graphics are okay, story is entertaining. A 70 is definitely harsh, the game could easily be 75-80.
@@TheThirdWorldCitizen @incelvillain1253 Look if you look at this comment It's not mine but the exact same thing bothered me I was referring to this not the graphics but I also had a pleasant surprise during the game at Darius Petrescu's mission I was pleasantly surprised to see that in the notes in the pot under the English language it is written in Romanian, this impressed me in a pleasant way. It is not only a Romanian name Darius Petrescu is also the writing above it is written in English and the exact same thing below it is written in Romanian I did not expect the producers to make such a surprise But this is too little for a game to be enjoyable to play because games are solved only in battle mode Those who don't like battle mode go to hidden object games and there they don't have to fight with no one just look for objects and carry the dialog and puzzles those are for who don't like fighting games I like both one and the other but I like fighting games the most but if I want to play a fighting game if the game a character who is a vampire to feel like a vampire Not that a sick man this feels during the fight like a sick man When he is at a door and now is the comment I posted I'm looking for him too on the circuits page through which he can't pass you can't go anywhere except where the manufacturer has drawn the route and allowed you some jumps over water or somewhere up you can so not exactly where you want to say jump on the roof go on the roof serve the fights and just focus on the important missions like in Assassin's Creed No it's not like that It forces you to go through the enemies and as our vampire is a sick one and attacked from several sides at once he doesn't have much of a chance Turning the game into a very bad experience because of the combat I in combat refer no to the graphics the graphics are good I worked with the graphics to the max yes dad and it ran without problems games load without problems the dialogues are nice and natural But the battle mode dragged it down that's why it has negative reviews because of the battle mode in the game this one matters a lot dark souls it has the same battle mode chronic fatigue this one also came out this year same as dark soul same done chronic fatigue horrible battle mode I don't like games like this if a character is played for him to feel like he's strong when it comes to fighting a human when it's another vampire that's another story but to give him a chance so he can improve before he meets a strong opponent and as you can see I posted the author of that comment vampires don't get tired here he gets tired it's chronic fatigue country two or three times on one side and you get tired that shouldn't be Morbius ua-cam.com/video/O_MFk3pARGY/v-deo.html Take a good look at this movie and compare it to this game he does exactly what the vampire in this game does But you see he gets tired somehow I don't think he does exactly the same jumps the same ways of attacks and he doesn't get tired because vampires don't get tired here in the game he gets tired during the fight something like this It shouldn't be because vampires don't tire people get tired but vampires don't and neither do people because wars wouldn't last for weeks and if they tired people like this after two or three hits they would be finished he can't strike a blow like that anymore It shouldn't be with humans or vampires with dark souls it's the same ass with this and the same and the same game came out again and the same I don't know how stupid it is chronic fatigue and I worked hard and put in a lot of effort but I didn't get tired in this condition and I also had inflammation of the lungs and I never got tired in this condition. road something like that I didn't have a good look at this movie Look it up too I watched it two or three times and you will see that the main character is a bitter child born with locomotor problems and something in the blood problems with the blood and after the transformation how strong it has become and how fast it is compared to this game's combat mode and then you will understand what bothers me
I remember when this first came on to the gamepass and I wanted something to play and thought a vampire game seems different for me. Little did I know the addiction I had for this! Something that wasn’t over done, wasn’t filled with confusing gameplay or story. I love the progression system as you progress to become stronger and the enemies follow you through that progression that still gives you a challenging fight. The fact you can choose to technically to be a good or a bad vampire is truly a great touch! Multiple playthroughs is always a top game. This game is now in my top 10 favourite games to play and was the first game I purchased after it was removed from the Gamepass and only 3 games I’ve ever done that with. Hopefully to see more of this genre in future as it really is an amazing game that needs more of a bigger future title.
if you want to have a nice story you better watch a movie I tried this game I wanted to like it but the fighting mode is not good it is totally unbalanced it's like bullying is created in the game I mean like at school or at work you had someone who i kept taunting you that's how this game is because of the fighting mode people know vampires are like that ua-cam.com/video/O_MFk3pARGY/v-deo.html Look, for example, in this film, this person had great problems with locomotion and with his whole body it did not help him much to move from one side to another, and he also had a blood disease that caused him these problems, as can be seen from that film and everyone was looking for a treatment at least to keep him at the level he is at so that he doesn't get worse, look at the end of the video what strength and how fast and how many movements he makes in 10 seconds and he was no longer panting exactly the same movements that he makes and that's why this movie left me because he does the same movements and only pants and the Strength is colossal you can see that at one point he lifts a massive stone box like nothing human enemies defeat them like nothing and a gorilla has more strength than a human the scary one because those with a gray back if it blows very strongly for about two or three hours In the same place it can break you And that protective glass that is put so that it is not free to see them properly and that one is thick not the toy referring to us this is how people know vampires are the legendary beings very powerful and no mortal can defeat him with the traditional thing not even with firearms because the moment you shoot he's already behind you and killed you he's down here it's not like that you're as vulnerable as if you were human and that's not normal Take it down the legend of vampirism is just a legend a story is true but take it down it's known in legend as humanoids or human-turned-beings extremely strong able to do things that humans can never do and colossal speeds of reaction and jumping from one side to another It's not like that here that's why the legend maybe You also learned about putting garlic on the window if it's some place that is believed to be a werewolf or a vampire that comes at night to I don't know which or to people in general then people out of superstition fear put garlic on the window and run away from the smell of garlic they don't like the crucifix and other things because they can also enter through the window Look at Dracula she enters a girl and the jam is closed when she enters she does not need windows I am spirit and therefore she does not need windows and what materializes there he takes his portion leaves the victim dead and leaves if he wants to make it take her as his wife then he conquers her before this and infects her and then takes her with him this is how it appears in the movies after she transforms completely and she is extremely powerful and she can't be around her if she's nervous about you and she has something contract if she has nothing contract you're guaranteed to be fodder unlikely to take anyone else that's why this game drags the whole thing down it's dracula movies in which he falls in love in England he goes to England and falls in love with a girl but doesn't do anything to her by force if she doesn't want he can refrain he can be a knight he can be very pleasant in appearance and behavior but to others to be feared Dracula the movie with which he conquered the cinematographic world still goes in English to Transylvania to see the legend of Dracula to see if it is true or not he goes through a series of adventures he meets that very strong butler not like Dracula but very strong who is waiting for him with a cart he invites him into the cart he gets on and for a sign of the hand he makes the door of the cart close without getting off he passes through a portal and arrives directly in the castle yard then he is received by Dracula himself but he does nothing to him he is the host welcoming offers him food offers him hospitality a room a bed to sleep in but tells him not to walk around the castle at night without him around because it is very dangerous he has no patience and curiosity prompts him and fills him around the castle at a time he finds a girl lying in bed she calls him and thinking she's just a visitor he comes to her she has the power of seduction just like the vampire in the game hypnotizes him seduces him starts kissing him caressing him another one appears from the bed as if out of nowhere another one to both start brushing him caressing him kissing him as if to scratch him a little but I'm not sure about this at some point Dracula feeling that this is being lured by those girls he knew he had there for a very long time he goes quickly There, of course, he can move quickly and then we argue in Romanian, what are you doing here, I didn't tell you not to touch him, he's mine, and then they reproach him for the Romanian language, you've never loved, you don't know what means to love And then they answer him all in Romanian and I once loved a man Let me love again and then he offers them a baby in exchange brought from somewhere Then he leaves with the person in question and calms her down until she's not scared, I'm just the creatures of the night but I told them not to worry about you to leave you alone so be sure they won't bother you then they walk around the castle the next day serve dinner only he gives them good bye keeps them company to hear some things slowly in background hear the children of the night This and their song I go to pay them a visit then he she s out When he gets up his Shadow can be seen How He stretches out his hand to the shadow of the guest but does nothing to the log then leaves his body becomes like a snake like this only the head remains and crawls and goes to our children, that is, to the werewolves, because there were no wolves, there were undead werewolves, and then he stays, eats, finishes eating, goes to his room and writes to his girlfriend, who in England I will send the address as to see that movie and it's a very interesting movie and in it the fictional character sure there is no such thing of reality are just assumptions of people who didn't have much knowledge about Medicine and stuff and if something happens an anemia at someone was talking or I don't know what was happening and he was losing blood out of nowhere either through stool or urine then he thought a vampire was visiting him But in reality it was a disease that caused the loss of blood that's why the characters are fictitious I'm going to look for the movie and I'm going to post the link it was made right here in Romania but also in England it was filmed and I'll also look for the one with Dracula in England This is what is known about vampires Not that I'm getting tired give a nasmatic who has to carry an inhaler after them and vulnerable to other people's blows this game pulls down all the legend of vampirism be it fictional ua-cam.com/video/KDkSUXOlHbo/v-deo.html look this is the movie i was referring to if my english is bad Look What is the difference between the language I speak and the language you speak there is a big difference the pronunciation and the letters and words are different that's why google translation is as it is because they were not on point to order and from an orthographic point of view because I use Google translate so that I can write for you to read that I know you don't like to use the translation although now Google provides Tradu in English to every text on UA-cam to the comments and now I'm going to post an address with another movie where the protagonist of the movie the main character is sick and very weak not so strong and after the transformation see what colossal strength he gets not like in this video game you say he's an asthmatic addicted to inhalers so bad it relegated him to fight mode ua-cam.com/video/O_MFk3pARGY/v-deo.html sitefilme.com/online/84109/ Here is the address for the second link please notice How weak is the main character as a human being compared to Dracula in the legends he was invincible and after the transformation see what strength he has he lifts a stone coffin several sarcophagus without any problem those site jumps he does them too who does them and the vampire in the game but he doesn't get tired like an asthmatic this happened before the transformation after he doesn't get tired like an asthmatic he doesn't lose strength he gets more and more As he consumes human blood because it all starts on the ship you will watch the movie and you'll love it i've seen the movie about two or three times and i really liked it i want to point out that the game is poorly made a vampire to be defeated by mortals that's something very poorly done and still very easy like like he monitor too I mean before the transformation this thing makes the game to be pulled down to be dezap appreciated the battle mode and the fact that he gets tired like an asthmatic from this I was the movie links see the movies compare what he knows in the popular environment equally where he is versus what he is in this piece of the game so to speak a vampire who tires like an asumatic addicted to inhaler doesn't have the inhaler with him or s finished he dies there next to you like that and he tires badly of just for four or five jumps, I'm not going back to a game like this, the movies are good, I wish you a pleasant viewing
I played this game on my XBOX console (through XBOX Game Pass) and unlocked all its achievements. This game is rough, but something is genuinely precious at its core. If it had a better budget, more development time, and more refined and polished gameplay mechanics, this game would have kicked ass. This game had so much going for it, but so much of it felt tedious. I played through it multiple times, and the problems that you mentioned in this video really exposed themselves. A properly implemented New Game Plus mode would have made this game much more fun for numerous playthroughs and easier to manage. They didn’t even include it in an update.
This game was sitting in my library for a few years, finally gave it a shot and wow. Absolutely love it, kicking myself for not playing it at the time of release. Really hope we get another one in the future
criminally underrated game. the story and atmosphere were amazing, and the music and voice acting, especially of jonathan deserved an award. it's unbelievable dontnod went out of its comfort zone and made something so different only 3 years after life is strange. i hope the runours of a sequel are true
This is absolutely a hidden gem of a game. It's just such a well rounded, polished, atmospheric and thought-provoking of a game with some very interesting backstories, memorable side characters, and this game actually makes you feel emotions for the NPC as it allows you the freedom to do what you wish with them, it's possibly one of my favorite games of all time. I wish they got a sequel to improve on the first one.
My advice is play it if you have ps plus extra or nothing to play or get it as a present. One thing rubbed me wrong is you have to keep good amount of balance between lvling up and health status of streets if you want humans to live as much as you can. For exp; I killed the half npcs of streets,I lvled up and whole streets doomed and the worst part is no manual save. So be warned. Sorry this was long writing btw😅
I love Vampyr and it's moody dark atmosphere. Right now I love AA games more then AAA games. Games I loved in the past: Vampyr Bound by Flame The Technomancer Greedfall Ghost of a Tale Plague Tale 1 + 2 Soulstice Chronos: Before the Ashes Remnant 1+ 2 Ashen The Surge 1 + 2 Steelrising The Pathless Atlas Fallen Lords of the Fallen (Original and 2023) Kena: Bridge of Spriits Tales of Arise and much more Games I am looking forward to: - Gorri: Cuttly Carnage - Phantom Hellcat - Forsaken Realms: Vahrin's Call - Elements - Enshrouded - Flintlock - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden - Sword of the Sea - No Rest for the Wicked - First Berserk: Khazan - Enotria: The Last Song - Granblue: Fantasy Relink and much more
I been craving a good vampire game but there aren’t many, I loved this game when it first came out and now really want to play it again since it the closest game I have to a decent vampire game.
From chapter 2 the game crashed every time I did a dash, basically it was a good idea, but the execution is terrible. And without a map it's super tedious to travel and find your way around because all the places look the same and the action is always at night.
I'm downloading this off of PS Plus Premium/Extra right now. Right in time for Fall with October and Halloween right around the corner. I love games like this at this time of year. And this is honestly one of the better atmospheric type horror games that I've played, and considering the fact that it was AA I was quite surprised at how good it really was. I had a lot of fun going around the city trying to solve all the problems at night, and occasionally taking a drink. And the gothic architecture of earlier London was a perfect setting for this. I hope if they decide to do a sequel that they open the world up just a tiny bit more though. Like maybe let you go outside the city into a setting like The Moors. They always creeped me out at night, like in American Werewolf In London. Maybe rven put a few small towns out there and a bar full of superstitious folks like the Slaughtered Lamb. 😂 That would be awesome.
I really liked this game , interesting story , characters. The combat and xp needed to level up .... Yeah could be better , if you decide to play pacifist or vegan , its basically hard mode with less xp to gain abilities. And the music oh man the music, its so gooood! Rhe spotify album isnt complete , theres a UA-cam video with the extracted ost . I really like the militaristic and tecno electro mix of some songs
It's a lit game forsure. Even tho it's dialogue heavy it's fuckin fantastic, the only game I've actually enjoyed with dialogue like this, i mean i skip some small stuff for certain people and beyond all the chatting the music the atmosphere the colors and other graphical detail are phenomenal every where you go and during what you do, like after having discussions with citizens and their circle and getting all the hints and them to good health, it really gives you the excitement of embracing them knowing you just maxed out your exp gain for them, and then then music plays afterwards and it all plays a part in giving you the feeling you really just did that 😮.
Games like this interest but intimidate me. I always want to make the best choice, and there's that gamer disease of wanting to find all the outcomes of all dialogue choices for all characters. It seems like a lot if I don't want to be playing it for the next 5 years.
It really doesn't matter that much unless you plan to kill that npc so you would get whatever the maximum experience yield is for killing them by getting all their hints. If it's that big a deal there are online resources that you could follow along with to get every hint for every npc in the game as well. The real problem was the dev team not having simple manual saves in this game. That's fine to want to emulate all the AAA games with autosaves and crap but it's also nice to have a way to manually save games for backups and other reasons.
I bought this game back in 2020 for PS4 & all I remember is quitting it within the first two hours because it was so buggy & unplayable. This review is encouraging me to try it again, hopefully they've worked out the bugs. If anyone is actually reading this comment & wondering how Vampyr is in 2024 on a PS4, you can check the replies on this comment in a day or two & I'll let you know.
@@TomT-u1n I wouldn't be able to give a actual review because I quit playing after 3-4 hours. It wasn't nearly as glitchy as I remembered it. But honestly, I found the story kind of boring & the dialogue between characters annoying. Most of the dialogue options didn't seem to affect the story & they just felt like filler. I'm spoiled though when it comes to choice base games, since ive played so many great ones (Detroit Become Human, Life is Strange 1 & 2, Wolf Among Us, etc). But idk, you might like it. Honest advice tho, I wouldn't buy it unless you can get it cheap.
i had hard to get into this game about 1 year ago(but now when i finaly got to sit down n start it it was just great). I would recomend to use your fastest hdd/ssd or nvme for this game because it makes game better due to alot of loading(even if its short its a bit less then fun).. Looks great story is more then good controls are ok(could have been better,but not by much i think) Would i recomend this game(yes if u want to play something else after u tired of the a.c series or witcher+rdr2+cyberpunk2077 this is when this game just works so so so good for a night time of gaming) Thanks 4 video just great
I have to be honest, this is one of the few RPG's that I've played were playing as a bad guy filled me with regret. I got so immersed into the world and the people, that when i killed a character i liked, It made me pause. I might just be a bit of a softie when it comes to games like these, but I highly recommend this game!
I downloaded this game like 2 3 times and got bored of it the first few hours and stopped playing this time I stuck around...and holy shit it's one of my favorites
Great review. The video is quite aligned with the narrative. But you miss out the part when you mentioned, path being blocked. And also the part when you said some ledges cannot be reached. They are not aligned with the video. So you almost nail it there.
This game is kinda old now but It's hella fun to play. The drought were in right now.. this game could be a perfect choice if you were ever on the fence about playing it. Play people you wont regret it.
Well you manage to sell the game to me (Steam does actually for about 12$). I loved State of decay and it was a 30$ game that I really enjoyed. Triple A nowadays are big cash grab with little (half) content.
I see why people liked this game but I agree with the combat. But when it came to the character stories, I kept trying to find hints with citizens and when you fail you lose that permanently It didn't really resonate with me I thought why should I even make the choice if you're going to punish me for it then when you try to talk to the oldest patient in the hospital It wouldn't let me was so frustrating I eventually quit. I think the idea of unlocking the story through the NPC's is soooo cool and I wanted to love it so badly, but I just can't agree but hey it's fine if you like it, you like it.
with the dialogues it's easy the first time you have to be kind to the people in question then look concerned that they are outside at that time thinking it's dangerous due to the pandemic then it's easy to divert the discussion to England what occasion are you in England if not he's from England and he's from somewhere else and then ask about a particular person then that person will tell you after I finish your dialogue you look at personal questions never ask personal questions the first time because they might get upset and not they also answer what interests you, you leave them behind if they are unlocked, if you found clues, then it is an unlocked lock, a sign that you can ask the question But you leave it behind, and then you ask and you see, my image changes like this in a way namely it triples something like that goes on then it immediately goes back to normal and the person will give you the answer to that question because they see you know what it's about if you don't know what it's about the person they're referring to will appear to you one of the subjects sometimes there are four other times there are three it depends then you go to the person in question anyway you give them a good What's up you start a neutral guard dialogue the game offers this too in England on what occasion if you have the possibility related to the pandemic and at like it's late don't be afraid at this hour you could get sick it's very risky it's a pandemic this has killed many lives the man opens up because he sees you're worried about his health you being in the position of a doctor the vampire being in the position of a doctor and it's normal like a doctor and I need the person filipandemia I exchange with all of us that we also passed you find it at this time because it's a pandemic there's a danger of getting sick and then I ask about that person and there's an exclamation mark you asked a question that will say about the person you just left you unlocked a lock after getting the necessary information you look at the person you are talking to if there are any unlocked locks or personal questions or questions related to England and only at the end you keep asking him the uncomfortable questions that if she gets upset, it doesn't matter anymore, you already found out what you need from her. I also made the mistake the first time, I upset you there near the dispensary, the one with the cap, and I couldn't find out the answer, then when I looked more closely, I said no I will treat him I will not help him and that bothered him and he stopped answering my questions and a that action was blocked because I didn't do it right and in reality if you want to find out some information from a person and you tell them something annoying, they don't tell you anymore, they reject you, they chase you away or they leave there, so it's as natural as possible there is a person who is near the water before going down the stairs to an Iron gate near the hospital near the hospital yard How are you standing with your back to the hospital yard on the left side there is one with a cap there dressed more popular that one I upset him and I couldn't go further, but the game was able to continue, the game is not blocked for that, so the people must first be taken lightly with the brush and then after you have found out everything you want from them, ask the informal questions Those questions with a personal lock are always awkward, they are caught up not the first time Where do you see the lock you find out that if you ask an uncomfortable question the first time you don't find out what you are interested in so that I can find out more details the conversation ends and it answers that question or questions and that's it don't stop don't say anything about anyone, that's why I invite the questions with a lock and I had another pleasant surprise in the mission Darius Petrescu in the flower pots if you search you will find the notes in which it is written in two languages English and Romanian you can find the mission here or on UA-cam respectively if you haven't gotten there yet or when you get there look in the flowerpots the flowerpots are glowing and you will find that note with two languages that will help you figure out Why the English language is not good the one I am writing in because you will see with your eyes the difference in language and description for me with the letters to say they are read as they are written while for the English it is totally different, for example the letter A with us is read a, with you it is read they with us when you say they refer to two male persons or one male person and one female person then you say them That's the difference That's why it's hard for me to write correctly and I use google translate and this one is still not programmed to write in English like that as it should be in Romanian it is written correctly as it sounds but in English it is not and that is why it appears so badly written in English because it differs in Darius Petrescu you will see with your own eyes why this difference is because it has exactly the same above work in English and underneath you have in Romanian and you will understand Why is my English so bad but actually my language is Romanian not English that's why it is so bad because I use Google translate and it writes the word as it is written on dictation It doesn't order it in terms of spelling and calligraphy and that's the problem but in Romanian you should know that it's written correctly So that's what you do when you play and you want to you find out some details the first time you ask the questions without a lock and make sure that it's not an ostentatious question or that it's a refusal I definitely won't treat you I won't help you then any dialogue ends and you won't find out anything else That's how it happened the first time that I knew what it was about but when I looked more closely It was a reflux I definitely won't treat that person and then I did too if you take things into account These dialogues are very easy but the combat mode is horrible horrible it's like having an asthmatic addicted to inhaler as your character so bad the battle mode is tiring tiring tiring tiring tiring and it drags the battle mode down and the game along with it i didn't like it i had to quit I don't like to do one thing more than once because some idiot didn't think it through when he produced this game and I gave up for good but with extremely easy dialogues it's a toy because you have to know first the period to praise it you seem concerned about him and only after you have found out everything you need to know do you ask the awkward questions if he gets upset it doesn't matter anymore you already have the business to find out if you continue to play success further And nerves of steel because I don't have that kind of thing☺
I loved the game in the first playthrough when I killed everyone but when I decided to not kill anyone on my second playthrough I realized how stupid level progression is. You basically suck blood out of the enemies and nothing happens, but when you do the same to an "innocent" person, you gain shitton of xp. Which would be fine, but why does your level have an impact on everything like pistols and melee weapons? It just doesn't make sense.
I wanted a good vampire game, I got v rising and it's fun but I wanted something like v rising but with an actual story. Literally got high and imagined my own story lol
Well and then there's the elephant in the room with how the hints work and being able to "fail" them. Just that one thing alone turned off a lot of people from liking this game. Respecs though. That should have been free. You're already forced to go to a bed and sleep to do a respec. Any form of abusing respecs would be rather limited and this is a single player game after all.
@@holidayinn4293 I got it for free and it's not even free I don't recommend this game the combat mode is a pain in the ass like hemorrhoids that's why I don't recommend this disappointed me Worse than anything I couldn't move through the muscles I'm locked to move on buildings and climbing i could get over but the fact that he acts like an inhaler addicted asthmatic during a fight and gets tired after five six moves and then gets killed that pissed me off to the max and i quit for good no no no no i'm not known vampires as beings that get tired immediately like unasmatic that's why I took it for free and I never went back to it even if someone gave me 1000 RON I would give up or dollars saying "not that I don't have nerves for such a thing
Haven't played this for years I really enjoyed it. first time around got stuck onthe first boss last time it's not up there with aaa titles but as a cheap easy to play get into game it's pretty solid and immersive gd game
I wish there was more areas to teleport to and it would be cool to see some parkour or something in the game. Like an assassins creed style vampire game would be pretty sick. Anyway I’m playing through the game right now and it’s pretty cool, but some of the boss fights are hard as shit lol
No, you can't compare Assassin's Creed with vampire game at least this one in front Let's be believe in the assassin I believe that's the way to go You can go Where you want to climb buildings jump from one building to another avoid anything fight even if they are and on the roof you avoid them you go further away without being seen and you get directly to the respective Objective without fighting with anyone the fighting mode if you still like to have action you can do it without problems everyone knows french now this game the battle mode is very easy and you don't fight with all of them at once you fight with one at a time attack one is finished the other one attacks you don't attack all at once Like in vampire once at hand second at hand doesn't get tired I mean Exo Exo, the main character from Assassin's Creed, you know that because I don't know how to spell it, he doesn't get tired like an asthmatic and he's not a vampire, while our vampire gets tired like an asthmatic addicted to a plumber, if they don't have an inhaler, they suffocate and die, this one gets tired too when he's tired to the max, his strength drops Like an 80-year-old man He walks awkwardly and gasps and can barely find a place to sit down like that This is also in limited travel mode As you said when I asked you about it Assassin Creed i meant you can go anywhere and avoid useless fights except when you have to to get to the next level then yes but even then the fights are very easy you only have about three moves and you won the fight when you can you have three moves and you lost one because he gets tired like an asthmatic like you said this game is a mess i don't recommend it to anyone it's for nothing it's video for nothing it's good dialogue for the game also the battle mode matters if it's a good battle mode to give you an advantage some serious attributes then yes it's a good game but if the battle mode is a mess then What stuff isn't good because that's why people come to play a game for the battle mode to feel good in the skin of the character not as a slob on who can beat him who wants to for the rest you can watch a good movie i did a simple google search for vampire movies and there are so many there you have the dialogue and the graphics and everything you want and the fight you don't have to get angry that the character you play with is like an asthmatic addicted to inhaler that in this place of that i said that the game is about having direct participation in the combat if the combat is rubbish the whole game becomes rubbish
You're right, the game is very hard if you want to play as a doctor. But if you actually feed on some of the npcs it becomes pretty balanced. I actually did a playthrough eating everyone and afterwards it was pretty easy
@@argirisrousis I know but I made it to the bit where you have to gather Arthurs blood etc without feeding and now it's rediculous the basic vampires like you take no damage from any attacks and I die in 2 hits a poison proc is instant death.
Perhaps it's just my opinion, but I've enjoined every part of this game, except the bad optimisation on my GPU. The plot is magnificent, the combat is great, not hard as souls like, not easy as hack and slash a perfect mix. The graphics for the time were good.
Just started it. It’s very good but performance is mit great. Playing on ROG Ally. It’s at 40FPS 1080p with mixed medium / high setting but just using 18W instead of 30W available meaning it’s not well optimized because it is t using resources it COULD. But besides, story is nice. Combat is ok‘ish.
I loved the story and combat and everything thogh 2 or 3 times i got frustrated because i was stuck getting killed because my first run i killed no citicens so you have to git gud. But after Acuiring the true dragonbane i loved all fighting encounters
Why did my level reset when I reset my skills. I’m level 1 now with 50k skill exp to use up but can’t use them because they are level locked… pointless and makes me not wanna play the game anymore.
Not a big deal if you have a decent pc and a SSD. It's when you first boot the game up and are trying to get to the loading the save file part that seems to take forever. I'm not sure what's going on there if it's unpacking compressed texture archives or what but it takes awhile.
if we are talking about the same game there is no difference just that you play on computer and not on Xbox and here I am still the same this made me give up the battle mode is a mess a stinking mess I do not recommend
Stopped playing in 2019, back for halloween 2023. I dont like that you can advance in the story and you cannot come back to talk to npcs of a previous area.
You find yourself craving more AA games because they have more love behind them. AAA has become too corporate, all they care about is getting games out fast so they can start charging you for microtransactions asap. Their is no love and care put into AAA anymore its just formulaic rush out the door for instant cash. I hardly play any AAA games anymore, mostly AA, Indie, or older titles that I never played back in the day. I just started playing Gothic this weekend, got the whole series on GOG for cheap.
Just play one game and beat it Hog warts takes 2 days to beat, 24 hour gameplay sesh no breaks have your drinks and food ready. saturday/ sun and your done. On to the next
It had such an aweful combat system, but I always forgave that for this games awesome storytelling, the decision making and athmosphere. AND THE MUSIC! ffs we NEED a sequel so badly
Bruh was interesting until I heard long dialogues like dam I started hating long dialogues because of Genshin Impact and that was torture since it go on for more that 30 minutes so I might stay away from Vampyr or try it depending on my mood

This game is absolutely amazing, the impact of that can have your decisions on the game and the amount of details put on the npc are so good ! I really hope for a sequel…
Hey mate I'd like to give it a try it is a open world game? Or just missions?
@@GDZILL Free roam to an extent, it's a semi-open world composed of four districts, amenable to destruction based on your actions and choices, this game is a vibe give it a try !
@@DreamerYB How did you manage to type that second comment so well but the first in such an autistic order?
@@GDZILLit's open world kinda. You can walk freely.
@@awman3966 it is same as dishonored? Like in dishonored it was always missions but you could also walk around
This game badly needs a sequel that is much more open, not crazy open but a lot more open with more movement capabilities and just freedom that would be the perfect vampire game
Maybe less hideouts but fast travel
This seemed open enough for me. But it could have been a little larger. Like maybe if they did a sequel they could open some areas outside the city, like the Moors of England. They're always creepy at night. And maybe put a town or two out there like in American Werewolf In London with those creepy superstitious people at the Slaughtered Lamb(bar).... But still try to keep it back in these earlier times. Like maybe the 30's or something. That would take it 20yrs past the first game.
Spot on review! I legit loved Vampyr, although I'll admit the combat is its weakest point. The moral choices you have to make are meaningful and the atmosphere in a ravaged London is top notch. The soundtrack alone in Pembroke Hopsital always puts me in a melancholy mood.
The map is a bit weird. I think they tried to do a From Software map design but definitely didn't nail it.
It runs well at 60fps on PS5. Will have to return to it sometime. I just finished Kena: Bridge of Spirits and am in the middle of Inscryption. What a game!
Nice! Kena was an unreal achievement for Ember Labs debut title. Vampyr deserves a sequel. It might not be perfect but Don’t Nod were onto something here. A sequel could give them a chance to hone their craft and refine the weak parts of Vampyr. Cheers for watching Zane!
I’m actually downloading kena right now lol
I think this game is in my top 10 of all time. Decent combat, great lore and storytelling. Decisions that matter, survival components such as keeping citizens healthy to keep the district going. Its only downside is that it can be hard to find out how to get places your first playthrough.
I was disappointed with this game.. it turns out that everything cool you can do would mean you have to kill people ....but if you do that you can't complete quests etc....
The whole game is created around this weird MORAL DILEMMA thing that in order to be strong you have to kill but if you kill you actually make things worse in some sense ...
I don't know how to explain it but it has a similar stupid mORAL system like METRO EXODUS has.
Really depends on who you kill and how many you kill @@tanelviil9149
@@tanelviil9149 I hate to be that person, but I think that this is just a skill issue.
I've finished the game on max difficulty without killing anyone and yes, it was challenging, but I was able to do everything.
And yes, the moral dilemma is important, as it's literally the core of any vampire's existential crisis.
Intresting to know, Vampyr can be finished without hurting any civilians, which the game recognises by granting you the "Not Even Once" achievement.
At the risk of sounding sarcastic, how is that a satisfying reward to painstakingly play without victims? This is what I hate about modern gaming, that pundits are happy about digital achievements that are completely meaningless and can be churned out by summer workers and interns in the gaming industry. We need to feel an actual weight of our actions in such games instead of unlocking lackluster achievement "rewards" Such things sound like "pride and accomplishment" from idiots like Andrew Wilson!

@@jeffreyokun2355 you clearly haven't played the game as the ending is different depending on your choices in the game. This game is 100x better than the garbage that is being released in 2024. And one of the best story and narrative based games I've ever played.
@@yaroslavchernyshov3725 Sorry to disappoint you but I have purchased and played the game, it just was not my cup of tea, while you seem to really like it, which is perfectly fine. I could not be engaged enough to play the game to the ending and uninstalled halfway through.
I played this right before rdr2 in 2018, and the honor system (in rdr2) was a bit disappointing when I had gotten used to the Vampyr system. Rdr2 is an absolutely fantastic game, but it's so easy to change your reputation it feels almost meaningless. I still think rdr2 is the better game, but Vampyr actually made me feel conflicted about certain actions and sometimes I thought I was doing the right thing but I wasn't. While rdr2 made me care for the characters through how real they felt, while Vampyr made me feel responsible for them through knowing how much of an impact my actions might have for their lives.
It's just sad to think what could be possible for AAA companies to achieve if it wasn't about making maximum profit. Though I also think having a limited budget is good for creativity and it makes me appreciate what indie and AA studios manage to put out.
Thanks! I just started it today after finding it on Playstation Plus.
Found you!!
Vampyr is hands down one of the best games I've played! Its very underrated and more people need to play it.. its better than some AAA games even lol
I just did my final project in my Game Scoring class analyzing Olivier Deriviere's score to this game. Genuinely a masterful score that doesn't get enough praise in my opinion. So glad that this game is still being talked about, it's one of my absolute favorites!
I spent ages in Vampyr’s main menu screen just basking in the violins ambience before I even started! Such a good soundtrack.
It's a pretty subtle soundtrack, you don't actively notice it but it certainly casts a pall.
Olivier Deriviere is such an amazing composer. I love his work especially on the A Plague Tale series.
I love Vampyr. The voice actor for Jonathan is a national treasure! I would love to see Vampyr 2, with more emphasis on a larger world, continued story which transitions into new characters and challenges.
Agreed about the voice actor. He does Elias in Diablo 4 and he killed that one too. I recognized his voice immediately
@@YeOldeMachinahe also voices Morgott in Elden Ring

@tanelviil9149 congrats being being so wrong about everything
You hit the nail on the head. I love gaming but have a very short attention span. AAA games look beautiful but none keep me engaged because too much is going on. I lose interest quick. Adhd and a tbi (corwbar into my frontallobe) ruined me. ialways end up loving AA so much more.
I've got ADHD and a TBI as well. I have the attention span of a goldfish, but games seem to be the only thing that settles my mind down.
I remember how played this game, it was classic videogame experience, you have the game and you play it, it's not buggy, has interesting decisions and great bosses. I played on hard mode and was just shoked when after several "donations" in some districts all the population just got eaten by monsters and I lost precious exp, still I loved the story and ofc reloading after being kicked by the bosses, the ending is perfect for that game imo, sad and melancholic. Solid 7.5/10
Great recent review for 2023. Had this game a couple of years now and still on my to-do list. Might be time to get the fangs out!!
Make sure you get the Claws out!
AA games are becoming my new go to. They have the soul of times of old. More passion. Theyre not meant for everyone, and perfect for someone. Some real gems out of them honestly.
Good review. I've been playing through this one and it's good but not perfect. The story and world building is engaging but sometimes it's tiresome having the game come to a halt for an hour at a time whilst you explore dialogue options and have to heal lots of Npcs.
I like the combat as it keeps you on your toes, but you have to invest in stamina a lot if you don't want to get stuck at a pivotal moment. Though maybe that's because I've been going for cudgels and Mace's, which is another issue, you have a ton of different offensive and defensive ability options but I've not found them worth the huge expense, why bother when I can get away with smacking enemies with a big stick, biting them, rinse and repeat? Unless I get cornered I rarely have an issue. Its not the most balanced game.
Also although it's fun to see more fights breaking out in the streets, it still could have benefitted from fast travel, since winding paths with dead ends are common and it can take forever to go back and forth in the deceptively small map.
Still, a decent title, maybe a 7/10.
Accurate assessment
I forgot to mention the CRASHING. This thing froze about a dozen times in the run, usually at the start of fights vs the priwen guard for some reason. Auto saving means this is just slightly annoying, but be wary
I miss double AA games so much!! There was so much creativity on display and on the best years of AA games there was almost no separation made between AAA and AA as long as thee games were good many of our favorites games were in fact AA but we thought back then that they were AAA the most recent AA that i fall in love with was Evil west and the shadow warrior trilogy reboot ppl dont even realiza that one of the best gsme ever ( time spliters) was a AA title publish by a AAA company EA! I want a revival so bad because the truth is that this games was dripping with soul and love! Spec ops the line was another AA game that ppl though was triple A and back then the AA games were in such strong position that almost weekly they make the cover of the most prestigius video game magazines they put banger after banger and of of course the AAA machine get sick of the AA shenanigans and destroy the balance by buying them off... in regards of vampyr is really good deeply flaw but deeply good to! Idk why Dotknot havent do a sequel or more AAs games like this one is like everyone is scared to take any kind of risk and is a damn shame!! Btw sorry for my awful English and grammar is not my native language
No need to apologise. Your English is better than mine. Glad to see the AA games out there are still receiving some love. Cheers for watching!
I completely agree that AA games are where it's at. I finally grabbed this one on sale a few months ago, haven't really dug into it yet though.
Vampyr is one of my favourite games. One thing i didn't like is the fact that you can see some chests being out of reach and when you eat the npc you thought had the key to reach it, they give you nothing. I badly want a sequel and i would love if it was made like the recent Deus Ex games where you can explore more
Double AA games is where the innovation is right now imo.
This game is amazing. Finished it this morning. Started another right away.
Wow your vision on AA games is so true. Perfect balance between indie and AAA.
Because of your description I just realized that AA games are my absolute favorite. AAA have too much to do and are often overwhelming and Indie games I feel like leave me needing morning. As for Vampyr, I'm on my first major playthrough as a pacifist which makes the game inherently harder because you don't kill Citizens but gives it a nice role playing aspect (I feel it fits Jonathan's character) and you have to really think about how you make your build. The trophy at the end is a bonus too. Overall I love this game and it is the perfect game for me
Just a tip for future reviews, get to the point sooner and less "memes". Most of us came here to see if the games worth it, not sit through dialogue and attempts at being funny. Not even trying to hate, just the truth.
I believe the no fast travel was more to form a relationship between the player and the districts. Learning where people live so you can heal them or see them for information is a big part of the game.
Problem 1: Locked doors. Locked doors make getting through the environment very difficult. As I played the game I thought the locked door obstacles were ridiculous. Because he's a vampire. So wouldn't he be able to just destroy the door?
Problem 2: The stamina bar. Fighting takes his stamina. Dodging takes his stamina. Sprinting takes his stamina. Like wtf??? How can he get tired? He's a vampire for Christ's sake! Vampires don't get out of breathe cause they are undead supernatural creatures.
Problem 3: No stealth killing. Why? He's a VAMPIRE who can turn invisible and has sharp melee weapons. You should be able to stealth kill the 💩 out of human enemies.
I love vampires and the game was visually great. But the gameplay is a LOT more difficult than it has to be.
Bravo This is the correct definition of this game I kept referring to this in my comments but I didn't know how to say the exact point on i Bravo I gave a big like someone wanted to make fun of those who play this game yes I don't recommend this mess unless you want to get on your nerves and you have nothing to do then yes but otherwise no🤝👏☺
We can definitely call it underrated just because of the criminally low rating it has in metacritic
it's not about the metacritic rating it's about the combat mode and the performance enhancement mode this game is totally unbalanced when it comes to combat and performance enhancement you have no resources to improve your performance with the combat mode is horrible because that it made the vampire tired like an asthmatic he gets tired very quickly he gives an asthmatic If you have known an asthmatic you will find that without that inhaler he can't leave he chokes like that and this vampire in the game is very vulnerable when he fights with people not he has no strength at all if he succeeds it is locked Is there any door he is not able to force it to open if it is a pig door with bars he is not able to pass through them as you well know in many places there is a tradition to put garlic on the window and the crucifix is like that and in the vampire movies so he can't get into the house even if the window is closed Here he's not able to go through some bars he's not able to jump off the side in serious gear and he's very weak in combat mode Search the movies with vampires you will see characters sick people in the film I say who would have had the chance to meet him a friendly vampire seeing his suffering Offer to help him telling him that he is complete he will only be able to see the sun from the inside no to warm to him no he will still be able to be with his people if he can't help but strip himself for a little while he won't be able to eat human food all the things he knows and likes friend he still absolutely has to give up in favor of the gift offered and he will have eternal life and perfect health for sure if the suffering is enormous he agrees to make this compromise it is movies that deal with such subjects the respective character after receiving the gift becomes healthy after the first mouthful of blood this is given by the person who made him healthy who he helped him the first time from a vessel then he shows him how to get in by other ways and along with his health he also gets a very great strength but here in the game our vampire is still iasmatically sick he gets tired only he jumps around two or three times very vulnerable to people's hits it's like he's still human The game is very unbalanced from the fighting mode and that's what pulled the game down that has negative reviews because the combat mode is totally unbalanced and when you meet enemies you are attacked by all of them at once in the worst possible way and it hinders the enjoyment of playing to go from one side to another It forces you to go through enemies you can't get around by climbing the house on the balconies or somewhere like that in some places you can climb But not everywhere and that drags the game down a lot Anyone who has seen vampire movies and sees this gameplay is instantly disgusted because in the gameplay mode Combat is not treated as a vampire and as a normal person who after a few soft hits dies and that's the problem I gave up and I'm not going back to the mess This is just frustration

to better understand what I mean watch this sequence from the movie As you can see all his life the main character was human he could walk on two legs Even as an adult After he became a vampire he had a strength that he couldn't no one to stand in front not even one like him in the end he fights his friend who became a vampire But he did bad things they killed people indiscriminately and to stop him he had to destroy him But this is the conception of man in a regarding a person who was human and then with or without his will he became a vampire he gets much stronger and regains his health and he gets it if he didn't have one in this game it's not like that actually he's asthmatic with an inhaler he gets tired with almost every movement And if you look here in the sequence this is much more complex moves and you can't see any signs of fatigue on NONE of them so this game misrepresented the legends of the movie Turning Combat into a total mess and that's why the reviews are negative learn to rate games and by gameplay not only graphics and dialogues and characters because the person who plays a game plays it to feel good and if the combat is a mess and is designed to fail only to bring you frustration then the game is not good then you better get a book or you watch a movie and you don't have the frustration that you get when you want to pass a certain part of the game and you can't because of the combat combat combat mode this is what people are looking for when they access a game the satisfaction of defeating succeeding not dialogues and graphics as much as the satisfaction of succeeding here in this game does not exist so I do not recommend this game to anyone better watch the movie from this address and others and you will have greater satisfaction I have seen the movie is very good
@@iulianborcean7753 I don’t personally recommend this game just because the combat is boring. Nevertheless, the performance is 62fps when uncapped and never drops, graphics are okay, story is entertaining. A 70 is definitely harsh, the game could easily be 75-80.
@@TheThirdWorldCitizen @incelvillain1253
Look if you look at this comment It's not mine but the exact same thing bothered me I was referring to this not the graphics but I also had a pleasant surprise during the game at Darius Petrescu's mission I was pleasantly surprised to see that in the notes in the pot under the English language it is written in Romanian, this impressed me in a pleasant way. It is not only a Romanian name Darius Petrescu is also the writing above it is written in English and the exact same thing below it is written in Romanian I did not expect the producers to make such a surprise But this is too little for a game to be enjoyable to play because games are solved only in battle mode Those who don't like battle mode go to hidden object games and there they don't have to fight with no one just look for objects and carry the dialog and puzzles those are for who don't like fighting games I like both one and the other but I like fighting games the most but if I want to play a fighting game if the game a character who is a vampire to feel like a vampire Not that a sick man this feels during the fight like a sick man When he is at a door and now is the comment I posted I'm looking for him too on the circuits page through which he can't pass you can't go anywhere except where the manufacturer has drawn the route and allowed you some jumps over water or somewhere up you can so not exactly where you want to say jump on the roof go on the roof serve the fights and just focus on the important missions like in Assassin's Creed No it's not like that It forces you to go through the enemies and as our vampire is a sick one and attacked from several sides at once he doesn't have much of a chance Turning the game into a very bad experience because of the combat I in combat refer no to the graphics the graphics are good I worked with the graphics to the max yes dad and it ran without problems games load without problems the dialogues are nice and natural But the battle mode dragged it down that's why it has negative reviews because of the battle mode in the game this one matters a lot dark souls it has the same battle mode chronic fatigue this one also came out this year same as dark soul same done chronic fatigue horrible battle mode I don't like games like this if a character is played for him to feel like he's strong when it comes to fighting a human when it's another vampire that's another story but to give him a chance so he can improve before he meets a strong opponent and as you can see I posted the author of that comment vampires don't get tired here he gets tired it's chronic fatigue country two or three times on one side and you get tired that shouldn't be

Take a good look at this movie and compare it to this game he does exactly what the vampire in this game does But you see he gets tired somehow I don't think he does exactly the same jumps the same ways of attacks and he doesn't get tired because vampires don't get tired here in the game he gets tired during the fight something like this It shouldn't be because vampires don't tire people get tired but vampires don't and neither do people because wars wouldn't last for weeks and if they tired people like this after two or three hits they would be finished he can't strike a blow like that anymore It shouldn't be with humans or vampires with dark souls it's the same ass with this and the same and the same game came out again and the same I don't know how stupid it is chronic fatigue and I worked hard and put in a lot of effort but I didn't get tired in this condition and I also had inflammation of the lungs and I never got tired in this condition. road something like that I didn't have a good look at this movie Look it up too I watched it two or three times and you will see that the main character is a bitter child born with locomotor problems and something in the blood problems with the blood and after the transformation how strong it has become and how fast it is compared to this game's combat mode and then you will understand what bothers me
I remember when this first came on to the gamepass and I wanted something to play and thought a vampire game seems different for me. Little did I know the addiction I had for this! Something that wasn’t over done, wasn’t filled with confusing gameplay or story. I love the progression system as you progress to become stronger and the enemies follow you through that progression that still gives you a challenging fight. The fact you can choose to technically to be a good or a bad vampire is truly a great touch! Multiple playthroughs is always a top game. This game is now in my top 10 favourite games to play and was the first game I purchased after it was removed from the Gamepass and only 3 games I’ve ever done that with. Hopefully to see more of this genre in future as it really is an amazing game that needs more of a bigger future title.
we need vampyr 2 i want vampyr 2 game like with more scary vampires and more abilities even ability to transform like bats will be amazing
Just finished the game ,,....very underrated!!! Nice story and gameplay
if you want to have a nice story you better watch a movie I tried this game I wanted to like it but the fighting mode is not good it is totally unbalanced it's like bullying is created in the game I mean like at school or at work you had someone who i kept taunting you that's how this game is because of the fighting mode people know vampires are like that
ua-cam.com/video/O_MFk3pARGY/v-deo.html
Look, for example, in this film, this person had great problems with locomotion and with his whole body it did not help him much to move from one side to another, and he also had a blood disease that caused him these problems, as can be seen from that film and everyone was looking for a treatment at least to keep him at the level he is at so that he doesn't get worse, look at the end of the video what strength and how fast and how many movements he makes in 10 seconds and he was no longer panting exactly the same movements that he makes and that's why this movie left me because he does the same movements and only pants and the Strength is colossal you can see that at one point he lifts a massive stone box like nothing human enemies defeat them like nothing and a gorilla has more strength than a human the scary one because those with a gray back if it blows very strongly for about two or three hours In the same place it can break you And that protective glass that is put so that it is not free to see them properly and that one is thick not the toy referring to us this is how people know vampires are the legendary beings very powerful and no mortal can defeat him with the traditional thing not even with firearms because the moment you shoot he's already behind you and killed you he's down here it's not like that you're as vulnerable as if you were human and that's not normal Take it down the legend of vampirism is just a legend a story is true but take it down it's known in legend as humanoids or human-turned-beings extremely strong able to do things that humans can never do and colossal speeds of reaction and jumping from one side to another It's not like that here that's why the legend maybe You also learned about putting garlic on the window if it's some place that is believed to be a werewolf or a vampire that comes at night to I don't know which or to people in general then people out of superstition fear put garlic on the window and run away from the smell of garlic they don't like the crucifix and other things because they can also enter through the window Look at Dracula she enters a girl and the jam is closed when she enters she does not need windows I am spirit and therefore she does not need windows and what materializes there he takes his portion leaves the victim dead and leaves if he wants to make it take her as his wife then he conquers her before this and infects her and then takes her with him this is how it appears in the movies after she transforms completely and she is extremely powerful and she can't be around her if she's nervous about you and she has something contract if she has nothing contract you're guaranteed to be fodder unlikely to take anyone else that's why this game drags the whole thing down it's dracula movies in which he falls in love in England he goes to England and falls in love with a girl but doesn't do anything to her by force if she doesn't want he can refrain he can be a knight he can be very pleasant in appearance and behavior but to others to be feared Dracula the movie with which he conquered the cinematographic world still goes in English to Transylvania to see the legend of Dracula to see if it is true or not he goes through a series of adventures he meets that very strong butler not like Dracula but very strong who is waiting for him with a cart he invites him into the cart he gets on and for a sign of the hand he makes the door of the cart close without getting off he passes through a portal and arrives directly in the castle yard then he is received by Dracula himself but he does nothing to him he is the host welcoming offers him food offers him hospitality a room a bed to sleep in but tells him not to walk around the castle at night without him around because it is very dangerous he has no patience and curiosity prompts him and fills him around the castle at a time he finds a girl lying in bed she calls him and thinking she's just a visitor he comes to her she has the power of seduction just like the vampire in the game hypnotizes him seduces him starts kissing him caressing him another one appears from the bed as if out of nowhere another one to both start brushing him caressing him kissing him as if to scratch him a little but I'm not sure about this at some point Dracula feeling that this is being lured by those girls he knew he had there for a very long time he goes quickly There, of course, he can move quickly and then we argue in Romanian, what are you doing here, I didn't tell you not to touch him, he's mine, and then they reproach him for the Romanian language, you've never loved, you don't know what means to love And then they answer him all in Romanian and I once loved a man Let me love again and then he offers them a baby in exchange brought from somewhere Then he leaves with the person in question and calms her down until she's not scared, I'm just the creatures of the night but I told them not to worry about you to leave you alone so be sure they won't bother you then they walk around the castle the next day serve dinner only he gives them good bye keeps them company to hear some things slowly in background hear the children of the night This and their song I go to pay them a visit then he she s out When he gets up his Shadow can be seen How He stretches out his hand to the shadow of the guest but does nothing to the log then leaves his body becomes like a snake like this only the head remains and crawls and goes to our children, that is, to the werewolves, because there were no wolves, there were undead werewolves, and then he stays, eats, finishes eating, goes to his room and writes to his girlfriend, who in England I will send the address as to see that movie and it's a very interesting movie and in it the fictional character sure there is no such thing of reality are just assumptions of people who didn't have much knowledge about Medicine and stuff and if something happens an anemia at someone was talking or I don't know what was happening and he was losing blood out of nowhere either through stool or urine then he thought a vampire was visiting him But in reality it was a disease that caused the loss of blood that's why the characters are fictitious I'm going to look for the movie and I'm going to post the link it was made right here in Romania but also in England it was filmed and I'll also look for the one with Dracula in England This is what is known about vampires Not that I'm getting tired give a nasmatic who has to carry an inhaler after them and vulnerable to other people's blows this game pulls down all the legend of vampirism be it fictional

look this is the movie i was referring to if my english is bad Look What is the difference between the language I speak and the language you speak there is a big difference the pronunciation and the letters and words are different that's why google translation is as it is because they were not on point to order and from an orthographic point of view because I use Google translate so that I can write for you to read that I know you don't like to use the translation although now Google provides Tradu in English to every text on UA-cam to the comments and now I'm going to post an address with another movie where the protagonist of the movie the main character is sick and very weak not so strong and after the transformation see what colossal strength he gets not like in this video game you say he's an asthmatic addicted to inhalers so bad it relegated him to fight mode

sitefilme.com/online/84109/
Here is the address for the second link please notice How weak is the main character as a human being compared to Dracula in the legends he was invincible and after the transformation see what strength he has he lifts a stone coffin several sarcophagus without any problem those site jumps he does them too who does them and the vampire in the game but he doesn't get tired like an asthmatic this happened before the transformation after he doesn't get tired like an asthmatic he doesn't lose strength he gets more and more As he consumes human blood because it all starts on the ship you will watch the movie and you'll love it i've seen the movie about two or three times and i really liked it i want to point out that the game is poorly made a vampire to be defeated by mortals that's something very poorly done and still very easy like like he monitor too I mean before the transformation this thing makes the game to be pulled down to be dezap appreciated the battle mode and the fact that he gets tired like an asthmatic from this I was the movie links see the movies compare what he knows in the popular environment equally where he is versus what he is in this piece of the game so to speak a vampire who tires like an asumatic addicted to inhaler doesn't have the inhaler with him or s finished he dies there next to you like that and he tires badly of just for four or five jumps, I'm not going back to a game like this, the movies are good, I wish you a pleasant viewing
vampyr is the London simulator I wanted and expected from a French studio
I played this game on my XBOX console (through XBOX Game Pass) and unlocked all its achievements. This game is rough, but something is genuinely precious at its core. If it had a better budget, more development time, and more refined and polished gameplay mechanics, this game would have kicked ass. This game had so much going for it, but so much of it felt tedious. I played through it multiple times, and the problems that you mentioned in this video really exposed themselves. A properly implemented New Game Plus mode would have made this game much more fun for numerous playthroughs and easier to manage. They didn’t even include it in an update.
Months on a game? damn, respect.
French studios such as Dontnod and Spiders are masters at creating awesome AA experiences. True story.
I've loved Vampyr since it came out. suuuuchhh a good game.
came for a quick vampyr review, left with an awesome Netflix recommendation. Thanks, very well made video btw
What was the netflix recommendation?
Just started this game (March 2024) and it's a AA experience my soul's been craving for quite a while. Love it so far!
Shoutout the Midnight Mass callout, absolutely love that show and loved the review!!❤
Thanks I might pick this one up
This game was sitting in my library for a few years, finally gave it a shot and wow. Absolutely love it, kicking myself for not playing it at the time of release. Really hope we get another one in the future
criminally underrated game. the story and atmosphere were amazing, and the music and voice acting, especially of jonathan deserved an award. it's unbelievable dontnod went out of its comfort zone and made something so different only 3 years after life is strange.
i hope the runours of a sequel are true
OKAY I’M SOLD. Have always wanted to pick up this game, and with it only being $8 currently how can I say no? Thank you for the review!
This is absolutely a hidden gem of a game. It's just such a well rounded, polished, atmospheric and thought-provoking of a game with some very interesting backstories, memorable side characters, and this game actually makes you feel emotions for the NPC as it allows you the freedom to do what you wish with them, it's possibly one of my favorite games of all time. I wish they got a sequel to improve on the first one.
Love playing this game 😊😊
Literally started playing yesterday
So today would be 12 days. How's it been? I'm thinking of getting it?
@Big Dizzle About to go buy it now I'll let you know how it is.
@@sillyliberals sweet!
@@janseendiguiseppiThomasMC they didn't tell you a thing 😂😂😂
@@33GLOCK yeah guess that's a pass 😂 it's on sale for $7 US right now too in the Xbox store
My advice is play it if you have ps plus extra or nothing to play or get it as a present. One thing rubbed me wrong is you have to keep good amount of balance between lvling up and health status of streets if you want humans to live as much as you can. For exp; I killed the half npcs of streets,I lvled up and whole streets doomed and the worst part is no manual save. So be warned. Sorry this was long writing btw😅
I love Vampyr and it's moody dark atmosphere.

I been craving a good vampire game but there aren’t many, I loved this game when it first came out and now really want to play it again since it the closest game I have to a decent vampire game.
From chapter 2 the game crashed every time I did a dash, basically it was a good idea, but the execution is terrible. And without a map it's super tedious to travel and find your way around because all the places look the same and the action is always at night.
I'm downloading this off of PS Plus Premium/Extra right now. Right in time for Fall with October and Halloween right around the corner. I love games like this at this time of year. And this is honestly one of the better atmospheric type horror games that I've played, and considering the fact that it was AA I was quite surprised at how good it really was. I had a lot of fun going around the city trying to solve all the problems at night, and occasionally taking a drink. And the gothic architecture of earlier London was a perfect setting for this. I hope if they decide to do a sequel that they open the world up just a tiny bit more though. Like maybe let you go outside the city into a setting like The Moors. They always creeped me out at night, like in American Werewolf In London. Maybe rven put a few small towns out there and a bar full of superstitious folks like the Slaughtered Lamb. 😂 That would be awesome.
I really liked this game , interesting story , characters. The combat and xp needed to level up .... Yeah could be better , if you decide to play pacifist or vegan , its basically hard mode with less xp to gain abilities.
And the music oh man the music, its so gooood! Rhe spotify album isnt complete , theres a UA-cam video with the extracted ost . I really like the militaristic and tecno electro mix of some songs
Very good game. Absolutely love it. Story, character arcs, music, immersion... just pure love.
It's a lit game forsure.
Even tho it's dialogue heavy it's fuckin fantastic, the only game I've actually enjoyed with dialogue like this, i mean i skip some small stuff for certain people and beyond all the chatting the music the atmosphere the colors and other graphical detail are phenomenal every where you go and during what you do, like after having discussions with citizens and their circle and getting all the hints and them to good health, it really gives you the excitement of embracing them knowing you just maxed out your exp gain for them, and then then music plays afterwards and it all plays a part in giving you the feeling you really just did that 😮.
Games like this interest but intimidate me. I always want to make the best choice, and there's that gamer disease of wanting to find all the outcomes of all dialogue choices for all characters. It seems like a lot if I don't want to be playing it for the next 5 years.
It really doesn't matter that much unless you plan to kill that npc so you would get whatever the maximum experience yield is for killing them by getting all their hints. If it's that big a deal there are online resources that you could follow along with to get every hint for every npc in the game as well. The real problem was the dev team not having simple manual saves in this game. That's fine to want to emulate all the AAA games with autosaves and crap but it's also nice to have a way to manually save games for backups and other reasons.
I bought this game back in 2020 for PS4 & all I remember is quitting it within the first two hours because it was so buggy & unplayable.
This review is encouraging me to try it again, hopefully they've worked out the bugs.
If anyone is actually reading this comment & wondering how Vampyr is in 2024 on a PS4, you can check the replies on this comment in a day or two & I'll let you know.
How was it?
@@TomT-u1n I wouldn't be able to give a actual review because I quit playing after 3-4 hours. It wasn't nearly as glitchy as I remembered it. But honestly, I found the story kind of boring & the dialogue between characters annoying. Most of the dialogue options didn't seem to affect the story & they just felt like filler.
I'm spoiled though when it comes to choice base games, since ive played so many great ones (Detroit Become Human, Life is Strange 1 & 2, Wolf Among Us, etc). But idk, you might like it. Honest advice tho, I wouldn't buy it unless you can get it cheap.
I want sequel to this game so much underrated game
i had hard to get into this game about 1 year ago(but now when i finaly got to sit down n start it it was just great).
I would recomend to use your fastest hdd/ssd or nvme for this game because it makes game better due to alot of loading(even if its short its a bit less then fun)..
Looks great
story is more then good
controls are ok(could have been better,but not by much i think)
Would i recomend this game(yes if u want to play something else after u tired of the a.c series or witcher+rdr2+cyberpunk2077 this is when this game just works so so so good for a night time of gaming)
Thanks 4 video just great
I have to be honest, this is one of the few RPG's that I've played were playing as a bad guy filled me with regret. I got so immersed into the world and the people, that when i killed a character i liked, It made me pause. I might just be a bit of a softie when it comes to games like these, but I highly recommend this game!
The developers of this were obviously vampire the masquerade fans and I love that. This is bloodlines 2.
I downloaded this game like 2 3 times and got bored of it the first few hours and stopped playing this time I stuck around...and holy shit it's one of my favorites
Great review. The video is quite aligned with the narrative. But you miss out the part when you mentioned, path being blocked. And also the part when you said some ledges cannot be reached. They are not aligned with the video. So you almost nail it there.
I find AA games achieve more than what AAA games do in some areas and often take their time rather than rush it out the door.
This game is kinda old now but It's hella fun to play. The drought were in right now.. this game could be a perfect choice if you were ever on the fence about playing it. Play people you wont regret it.
Well you manage to sell the game to me (Steam does actually for about 12$). I loved State of decay and it was a 30$ game that I really enjoyed. Triple A nowadays are big cash grab with little (half) content.
It's actually only 8 dollars on xbox right now
@@GoobieDoo86 Played, completed, done with it.
I see why people liked this game but I agree with the combat. But when it came to the character stories, I kept trying to find hints with citizens and when you fail you lose that permanently It didn't really resonate with me I thought why should I even make the choice if you're going to punish me for it then when you try to talk to the oldest patient in the hospital It wouldn't let me was so frustrating I eventually quit. I think the idea of unlocking the story through the NPC's is soooo cool and I wanted to love it so badly, but I just can't agree but hey it's fine if you like it, you like it.
with the dialogues it's easy the first time you have to be kind to the people in question then look concerned that they are outside at that time thinking it's dangerous due to the pandemic then it's easy to divert the discussion to England what occasion are you in England if not he's from England and he's from somewhere else and then ask about a particular person then that person will tell you after I finish your dialogue you look at personal questions never ask personal questions the first time because they might get upset and not they also answer what interests you, you leave them behind if they are unlocked, if you found clues, then it is an unlocked lock, a sign that you can ask the question But you leave it behind, and then you ask and you see, my image changes like this in a way namely it triples something like that goes on then it immediately goes back to normal and the person will give you the answer to that question because they see you know what it's about if you don't know what it's about the person they're referring to will appear to you one of the subjects sometimes there are four other times there are three it depends then you go to the person in question anyway you give them a good What's up you start a neutral guard dialogue the game offers this too in England on what occasion if you have the possibility related to the pandemic and at like it's late don't be afraid at this hour you could get sick it's very risky it's a pandemic this has killed many lives the man opens up because he sees you're worried about his health you being in the position of a doctor the vampire being in the position of a doctor and it's normal like a doctor and I need the person filipandemia I exchange with all of us that we also passed you find it at this time because it's a pandemic there's a danger of getting sick and then I ask about that person and there's an exclamation mark you asked a question that will say about the person you just left you unlocked a lock after getting the necessary information you look at the person you are talking to if there are any unlocked locks or personal questions or questions related to England and only at the end you keep asking him the uncomfortable questions that if she gets upset, it doesn't matter anymore, you already found out what you need from her. I also made the mistake the first time, I upset you there near the dispensary, the one with the cap, and I couldn't find out the answer, then when I looked more closely, I said no I will treat him I will not help him and that bothered him and he stopped answering my questions and a that action was blocked because I didn't do it right and in reality if you want to find out some information from a person and you tell them something annoying, they don't tell you anymore, they reject you, they chase you away or they leave there, so it's as natural as possible there is a person who is near the water before going down the stairs to an Iron gate near the hospital near the hospital yard How are you standing with your back to the hospital yard on the left side there is one with a cap there dressed more popular that one I upset him and I couldn't go further, but the game was able to continue, the game is not blocked for that, so the people must first be taken lightly with the brush and then after you have found out everything you want from them, ask the informal questions Those questions with a personal lock are always awkward, they are caught up not the first time Where do you see the lock you find out that if you ask an uncomfortable question the first time you don't find out what you are interested in so that I can find out more details the conversation ends and it answers that question or questions and that's it don't stop don't say anything about anyone, that's why I invite the questions with a lock and I had another pleasant surprise in the mission Darius Petrescu in the flower pots if you search you will find the notes in which it is written in two languages English and Romanian you can find the mission here or on UA-cam respectively if you haven't gotten there yet or when you get there look in the flowerpots the flowerpots are glowing and you will find that note with two languages that will help you figure out Why the English language is not good the one I am writing in because you will see with your eyes the difference in language and description for me with the letters to say they are read as they are written while for the English it is totally different, for example the letter A with us is read a, with you it is read they with us when you say they refer to two male persons or one male person and one female person then you say them That's the difference That's why it's hard for me to write correctly and I use google translate and this one is still not programmed to write in English like that as it should be in Romanian it is written correctly as it sounds but in English it is not and that is why it appears so badly written in English because it differs in Darius Petrescu you will see with your own eyes why this difference is because it has exactly the same above work in English and underneath you have in Romanian and you will understand Why is my English so bad but actually my language is Romanian not English that's why it is so bad because I use Google translate and it writes the word as it is written on dictation It doesn't order it in terms of spelling and calligraphy and that's the problem but in Romanian you should know that it's written correctly So that's what you do when you play and you want to you find out some details the first time you ask the questions without a lock and make sure that it's not an ostentatious question or that it's a refusal I definitely won't treat you I won't help you then any dialogue ends and you won't find out anything else That's how it happened the first time that I knew what it was about but when I looked more closely It was a reflux I definitely won't treat that person and then I did too if you take things into account These dialogues are very easy but the combat mode is horrible horrible it's like having an asthmatic addicted to inhaler as your character so bad the battle mode is tiring tiring tiring tiring tiring and it drags the battle mode down and the game along with it i didn't like it i had to quit I don't like to do one thing more than once because some idiot didn't think it through when he produced this game and I gave up for good but with extremely easy dialogues it's a toy because you have to know first the period to praise it you seem concerned about him and only after you have found out everything you need to know do you ask the awkward questions if he gets upset it doesn't matter anymore you already have the business to find out if you continue to play success further And nerves of steel because I don't have that kind of thing☺
This comment is way too long @@iulianborcean7753
I loved the game in the first playthrough when I killed everyone but when I decided to not kill anyone on my second playthrough I realized how stupid level progression is.
You basically suck blood out of the enemies and nothing happens, but when you do the same to an "innocent" person, you gain shitton of xp.
Which would be fine, but why does your level have an impact on everything like pistols and melee weapons? It just doesn't make sense.
This game is actually pretty good. Fun fact: I had it for the ps4 and as soon as I got a Xbox Series X I bought it again.
I wanted a good vampire game, I got v rising and it's fun but I wanted something like v rising but with an actual story. Literally got high and imagined my own story lol
2 things that really bothered me. No fast travel so LOTS of back tracking. Respec get more and expensive, so you can't experiment with other builds.
Well and then there's the elephant in the room with how the hints work and being able to "fail" them. Just that one thing alone turned off a lot of people from liking this game. Respecs though. That should have been free. You're already forced to go to a bed and sleep to do a respec. Any form of abusing respecs would be rather limited and this is a single player game after all.
@@holidayinn4293 I got it for free and it's not even free I don't recommend this game the combat mode is a pain in the ass like hemorrhoids that's why I don't recommend this disappointed me Worse than anything I couldn't move through the muscles I'm locked to move on buildings and climbing i could get over but the fact that he acts like an inhaler addicted asthmatic during a fight and gets tired after five six moves and then gets killed that pissed me off to the max and i quit for good no no no no i'm not known vampires as beings that get tired immediately like unasmatic that's why I took it for free and I never went back to it even if someone gave me 1000 RON I would give up or dollars saying "not that I don't have nerves for such a thing
I’m a sucker for good music and killer endings. Vampyr is so cool.
Haven't played this for years I really enjoyed it. first time around got stuck onthe first boss last time it's not up there with aaa titles but as a cheap easy to play get into game it's pretty solid and immersive gd game
I wish there was more areas to teleport to and it would be cool to see some parkour or something in the game. Like an assassins creed style vampire game would be pretty sick. Anyway I’m playing through the game right now and it’s pretty cool, but some of the boss fights are hard as shit lol
No, you can't compare Assassin's Creed with vampire game at least this one in front Let's be believe in the assassin I believe that's the way to go You can go Where you want to climb buildings jump from one building to another avoid anything fight even if they are and on the roof you avoid them you go further away without being seen and you get directly to the respective Objective without fighting with anyone the fighting mode if you still like to have action you can do it without problems everyone knows french now this game the battle mode is very easy and you don't fight with all of them at once you fight with one at a time attack one is finished the other one attacks you don't attack all at once Like in vampire once at hand second at hand doesn't get tired I mean Exo Exo, the main character from Assassin's Creed, you know that because I don't know how to spell it, he doesn't get tired like an asthmatic and he's not a vampire, while our vampire gets tired like an asthmatic addicted to a plumber, if they don't have an inhaler, they suffocate and die, this one gets tired too when he's tired to the max, his strength drops Like an 80-year-old man He walks awkwardly and gasps and can barely find a place to sit down like that This is also in limited travel mode As you said when I asked you about it Assassin Creed i meant you can go anywhere and avoid useless fights except when you have to to get to the next level then yes but even then the fights are very easy you only have about three moves and you won the fight when you can you have three moves and you lost one because he gets tired like an asthmatic like you said this game is a mess i don't recommend it to anyone it's for nothing it's video for nothing it's good dialogue for the game also the battle mode matters if it's a good battle mode to give you an advantage some serious attributes then yes it's a good game but if the battle mode is a mess then What stuff isn't good because that's why people come to play a game for the battle mode to feel good in the skin of the character not as a slob on who can beat him who wants to for the rest you can watch a good movie i did a simple google search for vampire movies and there are so many there you have the dialogue and the graphics and everything you want and the fight you don't have to get angry that the character you play with is like an asthmatic addicted to inhaler that in this place of that i said that the game is about having direct participation in the combat if the combat is rubbish the whole game becomes rubbish
I really like it but the combat is too hard. Normal to hard doesn't have an easy only story mode.
You're right, the game is very hard if you want to play as a doctor. But if you actually feed on some of the npcs it becomes pretty balanced. I actually did a playthrough eating everyone and afterwards it was pretty easy
@@argirisrousis I know but I made it to the bit where you have to gather Arthurs blood etc without feeding and now it's rediculous the basic vampires like you take no damage from any attacks and I die in 2 hits a poison proc is instant death.
Perhaps it's just my opinion, but I've enjoined every part of this game, except the bad optimisation on my GPU. The plot is magnificent, the combat is great, not hard as souls like, not easy as hack and slash a perfect mix. The graphics for the time were good.
Starting my 4th run. Won’t be my last either
Just started it. It’s very good but performance is mit great. Playing on ROG Ally. It’s at 40FPS 1080p with mixed medium / high setting but just using 18W instead of 30W available meaning it’s not well optimized because it is t using resources it COULD. But besides, story is nice. Combat is ok‘ish.
I bought vampyr after playing witcher 3 blood and wine dlc. (Also it was on discount at that time :v)
I loved the story and combat and everything thogh 2 or 3 times i got frustrated because i was stuck getting killed because my first run i killed no citicens so you have to git gud. But after Acuiring the true dragonbane i loved all fighting encounters
Why did my level reset when I reset my skills. I’m level 1 now with 50k skill exp to use up but can’t use them because they are level locked… pointless and makes me not wanna play the game anymore.
I really liked this game; I did have to look up a guide so I could get the no-kill trophy though.
Vampyr is awesome. I stopped playing red dead redemption 2 to play this game. It needs a sequel
How are the loading times on the pc? I remember them being atrocious on the Xbox one S.
Not a big deal if you have a decent pc and a SSD. It's when you first boot the game up and are trying to get to the loading the save file part that seems to take forever. I'm not sure what's going on there if it's unpacking compressed texture archives or what but it takes awhile.
if we are talking about the same game there is no difference just that you play on computer and not on Xbox and here I am still the same this made me give up the battle mode is a mess a stinking mess I do not recommend
Stopped playing in 2019, back for halloween 2023. I dont like that you can advance in the story and you cannot come back to talk to npcs of a previous area.
You find yourself craving more AA games because they have more love behind them. AAA has become too corporate, all they care about is getting games out fast so they can start charging you for microtransactions asap. Their is no love and care put into AAA anymore its just formulaic rush out the door for instant cash. I hardly play any AAA games anymore, mostly AA, Indie, or older titles that I never played back in the day. I just started playing Gothic this weekend, got the whole series on GOG for cheap.
Just play one game and beat it
Hog warts takes 2 days to beat, 24 hour gameplay sesh no breaks have your drinks and food ready. saturday/ sun and your done. On to the next
It had such an aweful combat system, but I always forgave that for this games awesome storytelling, the decision making and athmosphere. AND THE MUSIC! ffs we NEED a sequel so badly
I can never get past the second part due too a bug on ps 4
This game is awesome. But it definitely feels like my actions didnt matter in the end
Anybody know what the 2D game at the 2 min mark is called?
Unto the end
This game is the best vampire game, is so awesome man!!
Just got this for 8 dollars shit was a steal
What was the game shown at 1:49?
12 minutes
This game freaking rocks. But the load screen is infuriating 😂
*Does anybody know what game this is at **1:59**?*
I found it! It's called Unto The End if someone else is also interested
First 2 minutes is a waste
man.... too much talking in the intro
1:31 what game is this?
Bruh was interesting until I heard long dialogues like dam I started hating long dialogues because of Genshin Impact and that was torture since it go on for more that 30 minutes so I might stay away from Vampyr or try it depending on my mood
Can anyone help me and tell me what is the game at the 2:00 mark. The side scrolling game.
did you find out what it is? im intrested in it too:)))
found it! it is "Unto the End"
Hold up you just called KCD AA??? What???
I downloaded and played it on PS5,but the bad graphics just doesn't make it worth my time sorry.
