“great ideas, horrible execution. In the opening sequence I think I went through 20 different cut scenes for every little action in 20 minutes. The animation is stiff, no feel of stealth. The game systems are obtuse. And…”

“Overall boring story, poor and repetitive gameplay. 4 endings and out of all 4 only 2 really make sense (in terms of how you achieve 'em), but game was too boring to try and get 'em all so I was just glad to finally be…”

“Vampyr is a narrative RPG with Souls-like combat. Sadly, there was not enough effort put into narration, there is no connection to combat and the combat itself is horrible. A bit more details now, I’ll start from…”

“Game is clearly woke painting communists as the good guys, gays in 1915, combat is awful, story is awful, and worst sin of all, its not even fun, I restarted on easy mode because i didnt want to slog through the combat…”

“After two full playthroughs, I can confidently say this game is excellent. The story, gameplay, and core mechanics are all strong. The visuals and animations are a bit dated, but the originality more than makes up for…”

“This game is cool as ♥♥♥♥ at guilt-tripping me about being a bad vampire when trying to be a good vampire. Extremely difficult but super replayable. A hidden gem!”

“I am not recommending because this game CRASHED twice for me ON THE TUTORIAL + like 2 seconds into the first crash I got a BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH meaning my entire computer crashed and restarted. I really wanted to play…”

“Pros: * Setting Cons: * Monotone * Horror for Completionists * Unsatisfying Combat * No savestates, which is crazy for a RPG Conclussion: I sadly had to stop playing this game because it was just too unsatisfying and I…”

“I don't understand many of the devs choices with this game. It was 70% jogging around a dark smokey maze of a city, 25% Who Wants to be a Millionaire: Conversation Game, 4% fighting, and 1% being a vampire. In a game…”

“... I dislike Vampyr. Putting this game on hold for 6 months was a good release but I decided to come back for it after that break just to finish it, not out of pleasure but out of necessity. The first couple of hours…”
