Dontnod worked hard to create an immersive, dark world to explore and it succeeds in doing so.

Vampyr a treat for any vampire fan.

2374d ago

Many of the game's flaws melt away as you get lost in the moody grime of this alternate version of wartime London.

2374d ago

Vampyr is undoubtedly another rewarding and impressive feat of gameplay and narrative fusion that Dontnod have treated us to.

2374d ago

Vampyr is worth a look if you’re looking for something to plug the gap in your life in this post- Witcher 3 world.

2374d ago

In the end, what Vampyr does so brilliantly is repackage familiar gameplay features in a way that makes them seem fresh and compelling.

2374d ago

Exploring London and uncovering secrets is always an engaging affair, and the combat never fails to get the adrenaline pumping.

2374d ago

With decent melee combat and an interesting story, there are not many vampire games that taste as sweet.

2374d ago

Cracks in the facade don’t always break the work itself.

2374d ago

It does collapse under its own weight by the end, but the fact that it so effectively seduces you, almost trance-like, into roleplaying a villain makes it worth biting into.

2374d ago

As much a detective story as a horror one, Vampyr rewards you for taking an interest in the people around you and tests your moral compass with a lack of black and white options.

2374d ago

Vampyr is certainly shaggy and rough in the technical department, but its narrative successes still make for an impactful and worthwhile experience.

2374d ago

A compellingly macabre adventure let down by so-so combat and a few niggling flaws.

2374d ago

Vampyr serves delicious ladles of angst and drama with a hearty slice of excellent, morally grey choice system that will genuinely surprise you, all wrapped up in a wonderfully gloomy London.

2374d ago

Vampyr is certainly shaggy and rough in the technical department, but its narrative successes still make for an impactful and worthwhile experience.

2374d ago

Despite some technical issues and systems that are undercut by a lack of difficulty, Vampyr is a genuine, good vampire story in a well-realized world.

2374d ago

Despite the strikingly different premise from Life is Strange studio Dontnod, the team’s expertise in characterisation and world-building dovetail neatly into this vampire romp.

2374d ago

Vampyr is very ambitious and presents a lot of cool and interesting ideas, but just doesn’t quite hit its mark.

2374d ago

There are some brilliant, original ideas in here, but Vampyr tries to do too much at once and suffers for it.

2374d ago

Vampyr has a ton of interesting ideas, an intriguing world, and a great cast of characters, but is ultimately let down by its narrow-minded focus on unnecessary combat.

2374d ago

Although flawed and at times painfully inconsistent, Vampyr manages to offer relatively engaging gameplay in spite of a lack of overall polish.

2374d ago

Vampyr isn’t a bad game, nor is it as great as it could be.

2374d ago

2374d ago

By the time the credits rolled, I was more than willing to pound a stake through Vampyr’s proverbial heart.

2374d ago

Vampyr is full of promising concepts, excellent character building, and lifelike communities, but ultimately Reid's bloodlust can't help but get in the way.

2374d ago

Vampyr compromises its themes that emphasize the value of life by shackling itself to traditional, tedious game design that finds the good Dr. Reid slicing through hordes of faceless folks in hopes of upgrading his hacksaw.

2374d ago

The aesthetic of the world is the best thing on display, but beyond it lies a derivative title that fails to leave a lasting impression.

2374d ago

Vampyr sports an interesting cast and a compelling morality tale with unexpected twists and turns, but it’s horribly weighed down by performance issues, dull combat at best and a city that’s a chore to traverse.

2374d ago

The underlying game mechanics require a certain amount of suspension of disbelief, but those that can will find an entertaining penny dreadful.
