Code Vein II: Mask of Idris
Critic Reviews for Code Vein II: Mask of Idris
Mask of Idris is a fully enjoyable piece of downloadable content that stays true to the experience of Code Vein II, yet it falls short of elevating the product as much as it could have.

Admittedly, the additional content may not introduce much that’s fundamentally new, and the story content is also somewhat limited in scope. But I welcome the more focused level design and a few new possibilities with skills, boosters, and more.

Code Vein 2’s Mask of Idris is an absolutely phenomenal expansion that adds far more than you’d expect. It has a substantial side story to explore, complete with several expansive new stages, alongside tons of new classes, gear, partners, features, accessories, and more. It has its own problems, of course. The underdeveloped narrative is one clear example, while the lack of difficulty for post-game players is another. But with everything else it brings to the table, the DLC is easily worth the money and then some.
The result could have been better: Code Vein II: Mask of Idris is a DLC aimed at the game's fans, retaining the familiar gameplay and types of challenges without offering much to appeal to those who dislike the genre or weren't interested in the base game. At least the new campaign has its merits, featuring exciting bosses and plenty of unlockables — partly thanks to the (free) arrival of Version 2.0. It’s a recommendation worth noting for soulslike enthusiasts and anyone craving more content from the original game.
