Abstract: If it wasn't obvious enough yet, it's worth saying right now: Code Vein is like Dark Souls. It's cliché to try to compare From Software's landmark series to anything these days, but the shoe fits in this case. It fits so well one might think Bandai Namco...

Impressive build diversity, Dark Souls-like difficulty, Solid finale
Uninspired world, Poorly conceived NPCs, Lazy side content, Abysmal storytelling
Code Vein is occasionally charming, thanks to ridiculous build diversity, moments of true difficulty and a finale that leaves a good impression.However, the game seriously staggers due to a poorly conceived NPC system, over-the-top sexualization, effortle...
Despite building itself on well-tread ground, Code Vein definitely moves to the beat of its own drummer, but that beat can lose its rhythm when you need it to be steady. Some changes like being able to easily switch around and experiment with classes on t...

Reviewed on PS4Ultimately, Code Vein is a somewhat campy, but fun, breath of fresh air in a genre that has felt a little stale outside of games like Sekiro. The companions are fun, if a little one-note at times, and the combat is brutal, but exhilaratin...
An unholy union of anime, Dark Souls, and My Chemical Romance, Code Vein is as much about style as substance. If that sounds good to you, then you're in for a treat, even if it lacks some of the polish of the genre's best...
Code Vein is shaping up to be a competent RPG that builds upon the formula it clearly takes inspiration from. Its tense, accurate combat and fascinatingly bleak setting combine to create an anime-centric experience I'm incredibly eager to dive into next y...
