Vampyr

Summary

Vampyr is set in early 20th century Britain as the country is gripped by the lethal Spanish flu and the streets of London are crippled by disease, violence and fear. In a disorganized and ghostly city, those foolish, desperate, or unlucky enough to walk the streets lay prey to Britain’s most elusive predators: the vampires. Emerging from the chaos, a tormented figure awakens. You are Jonathan E. Reid, a high-ranking military surgeon transformed into a vampire upon his return home from the frontline.

Explore the darkly atmospheric streets of early 20th century London, and interact with a multitude of characters with their own identities and importance. Accept and fulfill the missions they give you, but don’t forget: sooner or later, you will have to feed, and make a difficult choice... who will be your prey? Absolutely all characters in the game are potential victims of your vampiric lust. Carefully study the habits of your next victim, his or her relationships with other characters, and set up your strategy to feed, unnoticed: seduce them, change their daily habits, or make sure they end up alone in a dark street...

Be careful who you choose to hunt, as they will be gone forever, and their death will impact in a meaningful way the world that surrounds you. Feeding on human blood will not just keep you "alive"; it will also unlock new vampiric powers to use.

There will be times when exploration and seduction will only get you so far, and you'll need to resort to engaging in Vampyr's dynamic real-time combat. It blends hard-hitting melee combat with ranged shooting mechanics and the supernatural vampire powers. You'll face many types of enemies: different species of vampires and creatures, as well as vampire hunters who want to hunt you down with their weapons, tools and traps. In Vampyr, your health and the "energy" that drives your supernatural powers are one and same! Using powers will drain your own blood, giving you an edge in battle but also leaving you weaker. You will have to find a way to feed during combat to replenish your strength.

Vampyr also offers a deep crafting system. Find and loot materials and components from the fresh corpses of your victims or during exploration, in order to craft and improve tools, melee and ranged weapons, as well as special ammunitions and coating to exploit the weaknesses of your enemies.

As you cling to what remains of your humanity, your decisions will ultimately shape the fate of your hero while searching for answers in the coughing, foggy aftermath of the Spanish Flu.

Buy it for the story, and nothing else

Truly the most underrated and underappreciated video game out there, and one of my personal all-time favourites. The pinnacle of atmosphere.Truly the most underrated and underappreciated video game out there, and one of my personal all-time favourites. The pinnacle of atmosphere. You play as a Doctor - someone sworn to protect those who have fallen to the plague - who has become a Vampire, now placed in a bloodthirsty moral dilemma of upkeeping his Hippocratic Oath and saving lives, or satisfying his thirst.Each scene is crafted with so much affection and attention to detail, with cinematography as beautiful as something you'd see at a Sundance Film Festival. The soundtrack is absolutely incredible. If Vampyr as a game is underrated, then it's an absolute travesty that the soundtrack to this game is not at the forefront of some music in video games award ceremony. The moody, noir style disease-stricken London of post WWI is expertly crafted. It all comes together to create such a unique, powerful ATMOSPHERE that is just hard to describe.The game perhaps isn't quite for everyone which is where the mixed reviews come in. It requires a lot of investment from the player in order to get the most out of it, it's not something to blindly rush through to get to the ending. Likewise, the combat is far from the most polished system, but it's also far from the main focus, which is the brilliant writing and narrative, coupled with a unique and borderline innovative video game concept of having the choice to kill or spare every single minor or and major NPC in the game.
