Graphics low resolution all dark. washed out faded colors. I know the darkness was meant to set the mood but the effort flopped. Dead Space was plenty dark but the darkness was done right. Sometimes points and slivers of light make dark places feel even more creepy a concept lost on Vampyr developers.
By far the absolute worse in the game has to be the psychotic camera movement. If I had a dollar for every time the camera tilted in such a way as to render what was hitting me outside of the shot I'd be rich beyond anything this world has known. The camera angles in this game can't even keep the main character you play in focus. The camera will duck behind obstacles in the game space like a stack of wood or a wall obscuring your sight lines to the enemy you are fighting during the heat of battle. I like the characters in the game so much I won't bite them. Too bad the developers of this horrible game don't appear in the game space because, I'd have no problem draining them of all their blood and then some.
The camera angles seem programmed to give you not just a bad angle but no usable angle at all. What is killing you is always out of the camera shot. It is as if the developers program the camera angle to always exclude the enemy. The camera toggling is worthless. Why play a game if you can focus on the action. If anything the so called patch made far worse the psychotic camera that takes what you fight out of shot. How can you fight effectively that which bad game design prevents you from seeing. I can't tell you how many times bad camera angles during hard battles I am punching at an enemy I can not see. Another ding on Vampyr is much of what is needed to craft weapons and other items is nowhere to be found in the game space. Another thing is everything about the weapons \ medicine \ cure crafting is made difficult because the naming convention has items named differently by one word. A game with the endless flaws of Vampyr really did not need to use brain teasing word games to make weapons crafting harder that it otherwise had to be. Powerful enemies gang up making these human waves very difficult to survive. There is no ability to select the intensity of the game experience. There is no casual selection to compensate for the glaring flaws in Vampyr game mechanics and engineering. Vampyr is not a horrible game because of any ONE THING! Vampyr is a horrible hard to play game because when its many many many flaws are combined the game becomes unsatisfying and darn near unplayable.
Vampyr has the dumbest gun targeting ever its called NONE! There is no targeting sight or anything to aim the gun. In Vampyr you just aim the gun in the general direction of what you want to hit and hope it all goes well. You seldom hit what you want because; there is no way to aim. Even if you do manage to aim the gun the psychotic camera system will shift the aim to hit anything but what you aim at. The guns in Vampyr are effectively useless. Most of your weapons are effectively useless because the psychotic camera controls ruin almost every shot.
You have special powers that seldom work as expected in part due to the psychotic camera and in part due to unresponsiveness to button input. The problem here is many commands in the game get buffered so the game is often doing things on its own till it catches up. Using special powers deplete and you must wait for them to regenerate to before another use. There is no regeneration indicator that would let you plan a strategy.
The wording in some of the decisions was written by someone for whom English could not have been their mother tongue. Heck the Save or Suck Dry Nurse Crane dialogue choices set at her illegal dispensary were so bad that most English speaking gamers could not figure out the options. The leveling system would have been fine for a game with usable controls and a stable camera. For this game Vampyr with its psychotic camera, its useless controls, its cryptic dialogue, its less than great graphics, its bad coding when results in lagging nasty game play the leveling system was too out of whack.
Making matters worse plentiful load screens take forever to complete every time to die, when you enter some hideouts or when you enter some sections of the world. Vampyr has the longest load screens I've experienced on PS4. Vampyr also has more load screens than any PS4 game I've experienced. If Vampyr actually worked the way it should the game itself is a 4.5 star pretty good fun interesting game with a unique vampire theme. The most recent patch actually made the game almost unplayable. Oh and I get a fatal crash of Vampyr on PS4 almost once every hour or so. I wouldn't pay more than $10 for this game. If you pay any more you are rewarding fourth rate lazy developers who have no sense of quality control whatsoever. The quality control team for Vampyr needs to be given the sack! (Fired)
I think this game is way over priced at $10 because; the negatives in this game render it effectively unplayable and unenjoyable. Under the definition misery in the dictionary there should be a picture of this game. This game is not worth your time. If I had a choice between playing Vampyr and watching my kitchen floor dry, I'd pick the latter.
I played this game until it became unplayable. I'm a level 24 character playing against level 31 to level 34 characters. I've done all the side missions allowed. Problem is I have not e drained any of the characters to get their blood XP. You see I have healed each of the characters in all the areas whenever they got sick. When to chat up a character you learn their often tragic back story. Like the drunk in the bar. He is a wounded warrior. Colosus Joe is a washed up prize fighter with a illegitimate kid he takes care of as his own and so on. I can't feed on people I gotten to know and have treated as patients. I can kill video game characters but my breed of autistic werewolf is loyal to those who trust me to help them. Feeding on my patients is a betrayal of trust I won't accept to win the game. This final insult makes this game not work playing if I must kill my patients to make the game easier. I'm an AUTISTIC WEREWOLF AND IN THE GAME i AM A VAMPIRE BUT I REFUSE TO BE A MONSTER SO I CAN'T WIN OR FINISH THIS GAME!
Well, it certainly isn't much like Life is Strange on the surface, but the dialogue, choices, characters, a lot of that is fairly similar. However, Vampyr is much more open-world than Life is Strange. Vampyr has an entire combat system and the ability to craft and roam the map. This game is honestly a bit hard. I don't mind playing hard games if I'm really into the franchise or something (like Fallout), but for this I just wanted to mostly get through the storyline and kill things. I didn't want to worry too much about strategy and things like that.
There is quite a bit of strategy involved. Basically - while you do gain experience from quests, sucking the blood of citizens gives you a TON of exp fast. However, with that comes a lot of downsides. You obviously lose that character's entire storyline after doing that (so at least wait until you unlock all hints to do it), affect the health of the rest of the community, etc. Every time you go to sleep the illnesses of the community deteriorate a bit and you have to keep crafting medicine to help them.
Now, I'm a pacifist type of player in games with choices...I don't really like killing innocent people or making the evil choice. So I hated having to kill people. You CAN try a pacifist run at the game, but you will have an extremely difficult time progressing at one point or the other because monsters will start to be way too strong for you. If you really want to just play the game more for the story and don't care much about the challenge, there are certain videos on YouTube that can help you out.
As far as the storyline goes, it's pretty interesting. I won't spoil anything, but it's definitely really dark and I can see the writers from Life is Strange in this game. It also has that really far-left leaning bent to the game. In Life of Strange there was so much propaganda on climate change, socialism, etc. Vampyr is a lot like that. All of the people who think migrants are taking too many of the natives' supplies are crazy, evil, insane people, and then the all of the people fighting for the migrants are heroes, saints, revolutionaries. Not a joke. I don't really mind it, find it kind of amusing honestly, but just letting you know.
The combat system feels a little clunky at times, not the smoothest game ever....but still really interesting with a lot of good characters and an interesting storyline. It is very dark. Kind of reminds me of a weird hybrid of Life is Strange and Dark Souls.

Un jeu dans un univers noir, prêt des Bram Stoker et Dracula. Où vos choix compte et où vous devrez réfléchir aux conséquences. Avec une b.o qui n'a rien à envier au plus grands titres AAA. Ce jeu, vos largement le détour de par son originalité et son ambiances.
Points forts:
Choix et actions à conséquences
Ambiance glauque et histoire prenante
Personnages intéressants
Combats intuitifs
3 fins distinctes
B.O et narration exceptionnelles
Bonne durée de vie
Possibilité de rejouer quelques fois grâce aux choix, aux multiples compétences à développer et autres
Points faibles
Un graphique qui aurait plus être mieux. Sans être laid , un peu de paufinement aurait apporté une note exceptionnelle
La difficulté moindre. Vaux mieux jouer en mode difficile dès le départ pour les gamers avertis
Dans l'ensemble, ce jeu mérite de recevoir une note au delà de ce que les.mauvaises presses lui ont attribué. Dommage! C'est un jeu très paufiné côté histoire et personnages!
Achei que fosse um pouco melhor, não vale os duzentos reais que é cobrado na mídia física.
