Vampyr
Top Critic
The underlying game mechanics require a certain amount of suspension of disbelief, but those that can will find an entertaining penny dreadful.
Top Critic
The story may be a tad lackluster, and the combat may be clunky as hell, but Vampyr does offer a compelling adventure for those looking for some blood-sucking fun. It also manages to effectively make you feel like a creature of the night at times. Unfortunately, the frequent technical issues sapped just about every ounce of joy from the experience, leaving this digital world a dry, lifeless husk.

This port of Vampyr is the perfect way to investigate yours sins wherever you are. Great job for a great videogame.

Much like its early 20th century setting, Vampyr feels like a bit of a throwback to a past age of action RPGs. In a time where the genre is evolving Vampyr holds on to past ideas for much of its tenure, and it doesn't have a story strong enough to overcome that fact. The world itself is ripe for lots of stories to be told within, with Dontnod having done a good job with world building, but while Vampyr isn't a bad game, nor is it as great as it could be.
Top Critic
Even with it's noticeable flaws, Vampyr has the potential to be the new cult gem among vampire lovers. If you can see beyond technical limitations, the story and characters will trap you within their arms and suck until the very last drop of... your time.

The developers did a lot of work to keep the immersion intact, like not allowing me to use abilities while in areas with NPCs for instance. This makes the map feel unnaturally bare when moving between districts and also makes one particular series of option quests feel off. Occasionally, I came across helpless humans that I had to save from enemy creatures. When I did so, the NPCs didn't seem to have noticed that I totally vamp'd out and ripped their assailants apart.
Top Critic
Vampyr is a game of saturation of the vampire love within us, puts us in positions and makes us think about the dimensions of our choices, and we ask whether we are killing to make our lives easier, or whether we should keep people alive even if they do not deserve it. You will enjoy the stories and the dark game world, but you will not find a combat system that makes you excited to fight, but I will come back to the game again to try new options, like killing all human beings or not killing anyone.

A bundle of great ideas and characters, shackled by some abysmal mechanics. Try it, or buy it on sale.
Top Critic
An amazing game full of darkness, vampires and blood in the London of the first quarter of the 20th Century. A great mix of exploration, conversations and hard ecounters with dangerous creatures of the night.

Vampyr is an ambitious masterpiece with forgivable flaws
