Vampyr Reviews
Vampyr is an ambitious action RPG that manages to sell its basic premise really well. It offers good world building and lore but a weak combat system gets in the way of its compelling story and characters.
The most troublesome thing is that the game has big and great chances of success, but it is killed because of some laziness or attention to the side and neglect of another side, maybe if the Combat System was good and fun to describe this game as one of hidden gems of 2018, Although the Social Link is one of the best systems I have ever seen and which competes with a system like the Nemsis System, but like in Shadow of war it has been corrupted and placed in a weaker form that does not rise to its level

Vampyr is a collection of wonderful ideas held back by a limited budget and a dated engine. The lack of expression and emotion on the faces of London's many characters, and often disjointed lines of dialogue, plague any hope of being fully immersed in this dark re-imagining of London. A fluid and well designed combat system, alongside the infinitely appealing aspect of battling with morality as a creature of the night, offer plenty for those looking for a new angle on the vampire story, but for those wanting a more complete experience, it may not make the mark.
Vampyr managed to create a rich story, but it falls short when it come to translating it to fun gameplay. Which makes me think how the game will be if it just focused solely on the story.

VAMPYR without a doubt is one the best action RPG that I’ve played in this generation and it is like a hope light for gamers that are really care for deep and amazing story telling in video games. VAMPYR tells you a unique beautiful deep story and it is the best game that has ever made with the vampires subject. VAMPYR is a mixture of amazing story-telling with various and fun gameplay elements in a dark world. VAMPYR is all about choice and consequence, good and evil, black or white, but in the end you see that everything is gray and maybe it’s all about choose between bad and worst. London is beautifully created in this game and you feel dark and heavy atmosphere of this town and miserable life of its people in every step of the game. VAMPYR also has some graphical issues and long loading pages that may hurt your experience a little bit but in the end, all of this issues are forgivable because VAMPYR has a very long list of amazing and positive points that make you one of your best adventures that you had in an action RPG game with great story, unique art style, replay value, fun gameplay and combat and various gameplay elements and features. VAMPYR is absolutely worth your time and money, So Go drink some fresh blood!!

When it comes to feeling like being a Vampire, Vampyr really shines. Story is great and NPCs play a huge role in gameplay. But the problem is that Vampyr tries to be an all-around, perfect game, and that’s where it starts to fall through, as lame combat and graphical and technical issues prevent it from becoming a hit.

Vampyr is the vampire story that I've waited for many, many years for.
Vampyr is vampire game that we've longed for some time and it is one of the best games of the year. I just wish the combat system was a bit more polished. Then I could've said that we were facing a true classic.

Vampyr is a game that's mainly focused on telling a good story and developing its characters, which it does respectably. That being said, things such as combat, mission variety, and even hardware, end up getting put to the wayside. All in all, it's a rather bleak experience.
Rarely are games as beautiful and lovingly crafted as Vampyr. Jonathan's quest to find his place in a world gone mad is haunting and worthwhile, in spite of a combat system from the bowels of hell.
Vampyr is a dialogue heavy ARPG, and it's these interactions that make the game truly shine. Excellent voice acting and interesting NPCs have made for a truly memorable experience. Unfortunately, Vampyr is also plagued by various bugs and a general lack of polish. While most of these problems are very minor, they are numerous enough to impede the player's experience. Should you choose to look past these issues, you would find Vampyr's dramatic world enjoyable and entertaining.

Vampyr is worth your time if you forgive some of its big shortcomings and put your attention on its strengths. It seems to me like a beacon of light in a gaming era where full single-player RPG games are becoming more scarce by the minute.
Seeing your actions have real effect on the world was a treat. Overall, if you are into vampires, history, well written stories, or all of the above, do yourself a favor and check out Vampyr.
Ultimately, Vampyr is definitely a game worth playing, even if just for the moral choices and the fine character building Dontnod managed to achieve. Don't get this one if you're expecting a combat-heavy RPG with your favorite vampire character.
Vampyr is a far cry from perfection and suffers from lack of detailing in almost every aspect of it, but none of this issues are unbearable as long as you enjoy the originality of the story and gameplay.

Vampyr didn't generate much buzz last year on other platforms, but on Switch this fall, it stands as an overlooked but great RPG dripping with blood and atmosphere.
Vampyr is still a good game on Switch, but it’s not the best way to play it.
Despite the relative shortcomings created by its competent but uncompelling combat, Vampyr remains a fascinating game well worth experiencing.
If a stale combat experience wouldn’t distract you from a strong narrative or if you are especially fascinated by the vampire aesthetic and its attached dilemmas, Vampyr might just be worth sinking your teeth into on Nintendo Switch.
I can say I’d recommend Vampyr for its unique way of storytelling, but just be sure to get this at a sale or rent. Maybe enough feedback will motivate the developers to come out with a harder difficulty mode that forces players to fully take advantage of it’s Citizen System.
