VGChartz's Jacob James; "The Code Vein demo left me about where I started before playing it - intrigued by an anime-style souls-clone, one that’s in serious need of balance and tightening up. I didn’t dislike my time with Code Vein, it just didn’t stand out enough to wow me. The core gameplay is fun, and the visual design choice is a nice change of pace. However, if this is a sample of the finished product, I’m left to wonder why it feels so unrefined. Here’s hoping the combat will deepen as you venture through the full retail version of the game."
Ben from Netto's Game Room takes a look back at five video games where you are better off "staying inside" as the "outside" is actually much worse!
Soulslikes are punishingly difficult but amongst the most compelling games. Power Up Gaming goes through the top ten Soulslikes you're likely not playing.
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.
The term “Soulslike” has become ridiculously diluted. I have seen it used for games just because they are difficult.
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.
Code Vein Official Twitter: "Code Vein has surpassed 3 million copies shipped worldwide, and it's all thanks to you. Dear Revenants, please enjoy this commemorative illustration to show our appreciation."
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.
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.
Thats not true about coop. It is NOT mandatory to play through the game in coop. You can choose to go alone at the mistle. Its mandatory for the first part of the game because they have to at least show the feature off. Past that point, your free to go alone if you want.
