  It's a good game, but the man who designed the cathedral map should be fired.

  I'm writing this as a Dark Souls veteran (1000+ hours) who doesn't really care for Anime. First off - is this Anime Souls? Absolutely. But is it a bad ripoff? Absolutely not. Overall comparison: - movement is a bit more floaty in this one - Combat feels a bit less beefy but still very good - Weapon movesets have been replaced with active skills which I like more. You unlock them over time and after mastering each skill you can mix and match cross classes - Bosses are very similar to Souls but still feel fresh and challenging - most of the consumables and game mechanics are basically 100% copy&paste from Souls, which I don't mind because of the familiarity it creates for players like me - Level design also feels very similar with shortcuts and gorgeous views along the way The story gets interesting very fast with elements of post-apocalypse, underground rivers of Blood, Vampires etc. When it comes to the art style - I'm not a fan of Anime in general, but holy hell this game looks gorgeous! The characters are lively animated, the world is interesting with lots of details, it's colorful and the character customization is the best I've ever seen in any game. You can not only change your person itself but you can also customize different outfits and change between them whenever you want. Fashion Souls+ Oh yeah one mention about the difficulty: some people say this game is easier than Souls - wrong. Turn the AI companion off and you'll see. First "real" boss took me 20+ tries and it felt just as rewarding to finally beat it. Overall I highly recommend this game if you're a fan of deep character customization and want a fresh Souls experience in a wonderful world with gorgeous characters and interesting story.

  Base game it's just fine, but please, don't buy the DLC's, waste of money and time.

  There are a lot of Soulslike games these days flooding the market. Most of them are usually either under developed or derivative of the Souls genre and often only amuse for an hour or two at best. Code Vein is one of the rarer exceptions that actually is able to pull off interesting and fun souls like gameplay, albeit not perfectly. A brief overview of the world. Code Vein takes place in a post-apocalyptic city (probably in Japan). The land was decimated by an entity known as the Queen. You play as a revenant, one of many warriors who had a BOR parasite implanted in order to kill the Queen during the end of the world. However, revenants now are reduced to desperate survivors who thirst for human blood. You are awakened and accompanied by a girl called Io who seems to be the only one who knows of your origins. Eventually, you and Io meet with a crew of Revenants led by a young man named Louis. It is then up to you and your ragtag team of mutant warriors seek to discover the truth of the red mist. A miasma that turns ordinary Revenants into monstrous creatures called The Lost. Gameplay is very similar to souls in movement and combat. If I had to name a game it resembles the most I would have to say both Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne respectfully (and not just because of the constant use of blood in the games world and lore.) You are incentivised to be a lot more aggressive than your average souls affair, shields are not in the game, though a block feature does exist which does have it's uses. Code Vein expects you to charge right in and get slashing, chopping or smashing. The enemies in this game, the Lost, are also hyper aggressive and can really cause you troubles if you let them. Even a basic lost warrior can eat half your health in one strike if you are not careful. Possibly even all of it if you are under equipped and under levelled. The game requires you to slaughter them first or they will slaughter you. Healing items are scarce at first and will never be as effective as estus, even at maximum efficiency. Luckily you do have a pretty interesting arsenal to deal with these foul beasts. Code Vein doesn't have as many armaments as the souls series. There are only 6 specific weapon types. Your armour is also limited based on your play-style, some have more armour for tanks while others empower your magic while offering little to no resistances. What make's Code Vein special to me however is the Blood Code System. Blood Codes are classes which can be switched on the fly. These Codes have base stats like health, resistances, magic points and so on. In each code are abilities, both passive and active which you can use in battle. Some are minor enhancements like more HP, more DPS dealt while below 50 HP, etc. While some can be massive abilities like creating a barrier to deflect physical damage or casting fireballs like a mage. What makes this system so alluring to me is that Code Vein encourages multi-classing. These abilities are not locked to just one class and when mastered can be attached to another class. Meaning that you could start as a DPS class like the Prometheus class at first, but then marry those abilities into a more tank based class like Atlas later. There are some restrictions however. For example the Atlas blood code cannot use A class spells as its spell casting ability is only D class. It's an amazing system that rewards experimentation that gave me pleasant Final Fantasy V flashbacks. Code Vein also prioritises the use of companions in battle. This is optional and can be turned off for the truly sadistic. You have a small but useful range of companions to pick from. The aforementioned Louis is a strong DPS caster. His best friend and (in my personal opinion) best bro in the whole game, Yakumo is a solid tank. There are others to pick which are unlocked during the story. Now for the last real highlight for me. The character customisation. Code Vein has, in my opinion, the most diverse and in depth anime character creator ever made. You can customise your hair with various extensions, modify your clothes with misc items, pick from loads of different faces, hats, voices. It's a time sink for sure and I would be lying if I said I didn't spend about an hour of my play time just making my anime protagonist look good. Now though, I need to address some of the drawbacks of Code Vein. One of them is the level design. Souls games are known for their beautiful vistas and stunning visual design. Code Vein is mostly just ruined cities, ruined industrial towns, ruined industrial towns with snow. The only visually striking area is the Cathedral, the fourth area of the game and in my opinion, one of the worst designed levels in souls like gaming. The cathedral is a huge, white complex of insect like architecture mixed with classical church aesthetics. What makes it awful is the sheer amount of wrong turns, pitfalls and enemy traps. The level is made out of roughly 5 rooms and walkways that are copy and pasted so much it gets to the point of irritation. This level is by far the longest in the game and is easily the worst. Worse is that they had the balls to literally copy the cathedral level and make a second area with the exact same design. The same rooms and layouts, the only difference being is that it's purple. Luckily at that stage of the game, a player is at a high enough level to blast through it. Even the final level of the game isn't super interesting. Unlike the Kiln of the first flame, the final area is just a crypt with a throne room that looks unremarkable. Now this one may be up to personal taste. Code Vein is very "open" with its character design. Alright I’ll cut to the chase. Boobs, and lots of them. It makes that clear when the first thing you see when you awaken in the streets is Io’s face hidden behind her E sized boobicles. I personally do not have a major problem with this kind of design but it does feel at best, a little tasteless and at worst downright sleazy. If you have issues with this kind of design then I don’t think this will be a good experience for you. While not as egregious as some games out there, namely the cheap tat on the mobile market. I will say that discretion is advised. My final issue is with the bosses. Souls games have a wonderful balance of world exploration and boss fights. Each one compliments the other. Using everything you learn in the overworld to take on the boss, then using boss knowledge to better understand the next area. In Code Vein, the overworld is great at teaching you the mechanics for the game. However the bosses you face are mostly just big sponges that require little more than good dodging and opportunity attacks. The only bosses that break this habit are The Queen's Knight and The Gilded Hunter, who can both really mess you up if you are not on point with your movements, magic usage and heals. Some bosses are also highly exploitable. A late game boss was completely cheesed because I used a fire resistance ability from my blood code, which negated her magical attacks, pairing that with a physical resist meant her originally lethal fire claw attacks were ENTIRELY useless against me. This was not intentional, I just tweaked my stats and abilities and the game wasn't ready for it. So, to finally sum up my thoughts, Code Vein is a mechanically interesting, addictive soulslike with just enough interest to keep me going through the game. It's story actually had me feeling emotional at some points, specifically with best bro Yakumo's character arc and its conclusion. While it does have problems in its level design and boss mechanics, I do not think that that is a deal breaker for me. It may be for those who love to drink in the incredible scenery of the souls games or those who are very mechanically minded. I for one though enjoyed my time with the game. For an arbitrary score, it's a solid 7.8/10

  It is pretty much what it looks like, an anime-like dark souls, with a more explicit story and a different take on character progression and building. *Technically it's basically flawless for me, looks good, runs well, no significant bugs encountered (just a couple of flickering textures and that's about it). *Being able to change your build on the fly without having to respec is really neat. *Combat works well and is fun, it's not hard once you get the hang of it but the healing available to enemy damage ratio is kind of unforgiving, you have to try to not get hit. *Light weapons lack impact but that seems to be a deliberate choice, heavy ones feel really powerful and make you feel sorry for the poor sods you are crushing under them. *The AI partner is pretty useful and doesn't get in the way, and you can choose to go alone if you want more of a challenge (I'm eager to do a solo playthrough in NG+) *It is surprisingly polished, looks like they put the extra time from the delay to good use, it feels like a complete package, like nothing has been cut from it to sell back as DLC or microtransactions, which is refreshing nowadays. I can't guarantee that you will like it but it competently does what it sets out to do, if it looks like something you'd enjoy you probably will. The boobs are good, also.
