Glad I revisited this game after dropping it initially on release. If you're a fan of souls-like games then you will probably enjoy this one.

Plot: Did not interest me at all. Started skipping every cutscene at the midway point. Characters felt bland and generic.

Gameplay: Pretty much a hybrid of Dark souls and Nioh with an anime filter. I liked the blood code abilities and how you could use them with any class as long as they were mastered. There was decent weapon diversity with five different categories although each weapon in a class felt mostly like a reskin. It is recommended to use the AI partners in this game as this game will usually throw a group of mobs at you at one time. Bosses were good for the most part, especially the final few.

Technical: Game ran great at 60 fps at all times. I had two crashes which I concluded was because I was skipping blood memories too quickly. Graphics wise, the game looks mediocre but passable.

Overall, I would recommend Code Vein for gameplay focused players.

(Side note) If you want to 100% this game, there is an achievement that requires 10-20 hours of monotonous grinding if you're a solo player so be prepared for that.

Nice little action RPG to play in co-op

Best customization of any anime game. A mix of Tokyo Ghoul, God Eater and Souls series
