The game looks really good and from the network test ive played, it was quite fun. Seems like itll be a very top quality game with all the hard work and dedication the devs seem to have. Why all the skepticism lol.

Tapani2123d ago (Edited 2123d ago )

I guess that's how opinions work! Mine is entirely the opposite of yours. I think the environments are bland, gameplay and mechanics underwhelming, art direction extremely uninspiring and dull, and cannot really see anything here but a game around 60/100 metacritic score. The first screenshots put me off already. Essentially, Code Vein seems like an anime-esque empty and hollow shell you see quite the lot today. (And I like anime, but only the good stuff!)

jznrpg2124d ago

It’s not supposed to be an exact copy of Souls so I won’t be looking for it to be a Souls game . Why judge it on what it isn’t ? This isn’t a From Software game .

drizzom2124d ago

Right. I get that people are really thirsty for the next Soulsborn game but reel in the negativity a bit. This game is inspired by Souls. The playstyle is similar but they are still trying to do their own thing so that they can avoid people saying they are copy pasting Souls games.

LoneGaymer2124d ago

Mainly the environments, camera and a.i. I'm all for souls like games, but this one lacks personality. It's more aesthetic.

davetheAndroid2124d ago

Whatever Kimblejay. Played through the online test multiple times and thought it was an anime Dark Souls game with cool character art. Yes please.

galmi2124d ago

nah, as long as gameplay is tight it should be fine, after all nier automata did have drab environs you know, but all in all a solid game

LoneGaymer2124d ago

Gameplay looks good but damn those environments are bland. Always noticed that with this game and the surge.

Demon's Souls isn't Soulslike. It's the original Souls game. WTF? And Elden Ring?

Another Crab's Treasure simply is not.

All the journos claiming things are "Soulslike" simply don't know what that word means.

GeeEssEff132d ago

The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.

Cacabunga132d ago

Reminds me of Doom like back in the days for every FPS game

blackblades132d ago (Edited 132d ago )

Yeah, souls, souls lite, souls like same goes for rogue.

anast131d ago

It's either AI or the writer doesn't know the subject matter.

robtion132d ago

I've played all of these bar the Crab one so not a very accurate title.

Goodguy01132d ago (Edited 132d ago )

Nioh 1+2 imo are the best souls clone. Love the melee combat and ki system, really hoping team ninja doesn't abandon the IP and continue with a new title, hell just give us your take on the western fantasy setting for a new nioh game.

robtion132d ago

Yes Nioh 2 in particular is great. Also Wo Long (which is basically Nioh 3).

qalpha132d ago

Should have included 'Lies of P'. Seriously fun game.

Nacho_Z131d ago

That's what I was going to say, great game. Best non From Soulslike I've played.

Funny. I was just thinking this should get a sequel. With the souls genre being so well known now, now is a good time. Wo Long seems to have sold pretty well.

Abnor_Mal823d ago

Currently playing through the game, but I’m getting my ass handed to me at the moment with a boss fight. Two bosses at the same time, ones female fast and uses ice, while the other is a giant metal guy/robot that uses a flame thrower:

Definitely was better than I thought it was going to be, and would welcome a sequel.
