Summary

Code Vein is set in the not too distant future where a disaster has brought the world to ruin and vampire-like beings battle for dominance.

Storyline

In the not too distant future, a mysterious disaster has brought collapse to the world as we know it. Towering skyscrapers, once symbols of prosperity, are now lifeless graves of humanity’s past pierced by the Thorns of Judgment. At the center of the destruction lies a hidden society of Revenants called Vein. This final stronghold is where the remaining few fight to survive, blessed with Gifts of power in exchange for their memories and a thirst for blood. Give into the bloodlust fully and risk becoming one of the Lost, fiendish ghouls devoid of any remaining humanity. Wandering aimlessly in search of blood, the Lost will stop at nothing to satisfy their hunger. Team up and embark on a journey to the ends of hell to unlock your past and escape your living nightmare in CODE VEIN.

There are rough patches here and there in terms of level design and enemy variety, and I thought the game dragged on a little too much at certain points. However, while it does play relatively safe, there is a solid game here, with good combat with a lot of variety and a cliche, but nevertheless compelling story. I wasn't expecting a masterpiece like Dark Souls itself, but I came out with more than I bargained for.

也就那样吧。我xsx玩的,除了换地图中途那段路有点掉帧,其它时候都没碰过,读取速度也挺快。就打击感怪怪的,也没啥难度,一路双手剑莽过去,就后期堆怪严重,没啥意思的剧情,大部分地图都没啥设计感,更别说教堂那种粪地图了。主要是捏人(欧派)太香了,要是各种衣服能多点,就更棒了。也就那样吧。我xsx玩的,除了换地图中途那段路有点掉帧,其它时候都没碰过,读取速度也挺快。就打击感怪怪的,也没啥难度,一路双手剑莽过去,就后期堆怪严重,没啥意思的剧情,大部分地图都没啥设计感,更别说教堂那种粪地图了。主要是捏人(欧派)太香了,要是各种衣服能多点,就更棒了。

Combat was a bit sluggish at first but picked up as you got more weapon, skill and blood codes. However I kept finding myself stuck using the same NPC "Yakumo" especially in boss fights all the others seem to die way to easy. It was a bit odd at first that the game shares Exp and money its all just "Haze" but after I got used to it I kinda liked it. It just seemed to simplify everything and I wish more games would take this simplified approach and it makes you more aware of death since you die once lose all you haze but you can reclaim it (and add it to whatever you've earned since) by going back to where you died but if you die again before reclaiming it then its gone for good.Code Veins Story is good but if your going to get the most out if you have to find all the blood vestiges and restore them. Doing so really flushes out the cast and fills in most of the gaps of how their world is what it is (along with unlocking more skills). The good news Is you never really feel like anything is out of reach if you just explore the maps. I never felt the need for a guide and outside of an optional dungeon like thing I think I missed maybe 2. I found "walking through memories" was also a nice story telling feature and was a nice break from the usual RPG method of "Oh hey I know where in the middle of a dungeon and theirs a bunch of mobs around but I'mma ramble on about my tragic past for the next 10mins"The character customization is adequate. I heard a lot of hype about it but honestly I was let down. While there is TON of colour and facial options. There was really only a handful of outfits. Yes you can add accessories but lets face it. You can have all the facial options you want but in a game like Code Vein you spend almost the entirety of your play time behind your character so having 100's of eyebrow options matters little to not because the only time your going to see them is in the very sparse cut-scenes. (especially since a lot of the story is told via walking through memories).I played on the Series S so the graphics were top notch and I didn't experience any jitteryness or oddities as others have pointed out on the older gens however it is NOT optimized for the series S/X and thus it Crashes, just randomly but typically when loading something. This can be a hassle if your trying to make progress since the only way to avoid losing a ton of progress is to hit every save point you can but every-time you use a save point (mistle) all the mobs respawn. Lets just say I lost more Haze to crashes then deaths.

What if there were a Dark Souls for people who want something to do instead of play the same boss fight over and over until I get lucky and don't die? Well, this is! And this is it!

I am pretty sure I activated all the mistles (checkpoints) on my way. It is puzzling to me that no data were saved.
