RPG Corner: Vampyr

Vampyr is a rough around the edges RPG with a lot to like. As the studio's third release, it showcases an astounding level of creativity and versatility. Remember Me spiced up its standard action game combat with the "pressen" system, with scene reconstructions adding narrative intrigue. Life is Strange introduced time manipulation to the established adventure game formula. Vampyr follows in a similar mold, though its budgetary constraints seem more pronounced than Dontnod's previous projects. Fortunately, its jank is easily circumvented through its uniquely crafted vision; one whose mechanics and moral quandaries make for an engaging experience.
