Video Game Review: Code Vein (2019)

So if you want a Dark Souls experience, then just play the first Dark Souls. Stop playing all these weird ass clones with new paint jobs. The paint job on this one is anime.

The combat with this game is not as carefully crafted and the difficulty is not as meaningful. The enemies are too plentiful and the combat doesn't feel as rewarding. There doesn't seem to be much staggering of the enemies either. Which makes the combat have less weight. I don't feel like me or the enemy are doing much of anything when we clang each other with our weapons but neither one of us reacts.

The environments are bland. I don't care if it's the end of the world, I am playing the game to be entertained. Part of that is having a visually appealing landscape. The cathedral section was kinda cool but it was repetitive. It was also clearly supposed to be Anor Londo.

I wish that there was a bartending mini game in the place where you hang out in between missions. That would be cool to throw rocking parties in there on a whim.

The game is for you if you are a weeb and you want to play dark souls but with the square button to spam instead of R1.
