this is a very good video, it's a yay for me. Code Vein's feel can be summarised as "if God Eater were a souls game" from its gameplay, visuals, music and art directions, which makes sense as they both developed by Shift (and both games also has the same composer). as a huge fan of both Souls and GE this game is basically a dream game for me. also if you want easy mode pick Yakumo as companion, he's basically Tarkus, hits hard and tanks everything.
Honestly I thought it would be good but it would stay in dark souls shadow but after playing it my mind has been changed! The graphics are amazing normally I’m not much of a fan for apocalyptic areas but these ones were just gorgeous. The gameplay is smooth especially online I never experience any lag or delay between moves. The story is SSS tier it isn’t to complicating with lots of twists that unexpected and even get you to feel each characters emotions and the different options on how to end the game I love it I would rate this game 10/10!!! I forgot one thing the game is hard as hell with infinite scaling so every time you beat the game you can make it more difficult each time
i've been hooked on nioh 2 lately and put over 500 hours into it. this game looks cool but he makes it sound like it'll be disappointingly easy compared to nioh or souls.
@@Jack_80 That's because it _is_ easier than both. You can scale up the difficulty by going solo and in NG, but overall, it's easier to see the telegraphed attacks. That being said, the customization of this game, both in mechanics *and* aesthetics, is where it really stands out.
@@ivanzoccoli8045 io attualmente cerco di platinarlo e aspetterò anche io i dlc, so che sono 3 e che ne devono rilasciare uno a breve però non ci sono notizie a riguardo :(
Thanks for the review and yay. I think it is the only souls like game out there, that does its own thing. I am having fun and love the anime style. Though, I don't think it's on the same level with the souls series. Nevertheless good game.
Great review, covering most of the pro/cons very succinctly, although your lore summery at the beginning is somewhat backwards. The horror's came first and revenants were initially created to fight them, but then as revenants began falling to blood thirst and turning into the lost they became as much a threat the enemies they'd been meant to fight. The Queen was then created in an attempt to mitigate this, but she too succumbed to frenzy and so even more revenants were then created to fight her.
Can not wait to purchase this game in March and this review only sold it to wife Nancy and I, even more so. An my younger sister i think may or may not be the conductor on the "hype train." For wife and I being huge HUGE jrpg fans this going the huge anime route is exactly what will draw us in to a genre (souls like) we do not enjoy with Bloodborne being the ONLY exception (for the same reason as Code Vein the atmosphere and the "look" and feel of the world). This was a fun video to watch and even when wife and I do not agree with you (an that has already happened a few times lol) we appreciate you always keep your integrity and highlight even in games that missed for you what is well done and what simply does not work for YOU.
Just to add on to what he said about the game is "too easy" it's really not... The reason why some may say so is because they play with the A.I. They are actually quiet good and if you ever go down they get you back up almost instantly so when fighting bosses they take the pressure away from you so that you could heal or take a short breather. If by any chance you want a challenging experience on your first playthrough do not play with the A.I But honestly this will change in late game regardless you have a A.I or not as you will some bosses and enemies that just upset you lol and in ng+ the A.I can get wacked to death due to the amount of damage the enemies do to you and your partner. Coop with a friend can be done together with the A.I and well which makes it even easier, but like I said in new game plus by then the game requires you to know what your doing because mistakes will lead to your death xD. It's a great game and the story is actually really nice! And if you ever played God eater before especially the older ones you will love this game even more. They are made by the same people sooo...Yeah.
Well, I liked it quite a bit. I'm definitely into the anime look, but not the settings as much. I had mixed feelings about the memories. It was neat to learn these things about characters, after you've already met them, allowing you to explore their characters further. Also, some of the memories felt pretty creative in how they were portrayed. The slow walking was a pain, but I liked how the path I walked would change from scrap, to hospital floors, to celestial patterns based on the character I was following. I pretty much played the game solo after my first boss fight. As this video pointed out, the ally just made things far too easy. I got much more of that Dark Souls feel when playing without an ally. A lot more caution was required, since rushing into things would just get me ganked by the enemies. Not having someone to bail me out when I got careless led to a far more engaging playthrough. Although I'll admit, I did compromise when fighting the one boss fight that had two bosses in it. Maybe next time. I also have mixed feelings about the blood codes. On the one hand, I like how being able to switch builds on the fly encourages experimentation, rather than forcing me to commit to one build early on. On the other hand, there is a certain thrill to committing to a certain build, and accepting that some challenges will be easier while others will be harder, and that I'll just have to deal with it. Figuring out how to tackle a speedy spell-flinging boss when you've committed to a close range tank, for instance. You don't get that thrill when you can just change to a build that can handle the challenge better. I had the same issue with Diablo 3. To make up for it, I limited myself to only using certain blood codes in each playthrough. Also, one thing that bothered me a bit was a small dissonance between the story and gameplay. In the story, I was traveling as a squad. Before each boss fight, we'd face it down as three to six people. In the pre-boss cutscenes, the characters would all psych each other out and prepare for an all-out attack. Then the screen would fade out, fade in, and it would be just me again, facing the boss by myself. Not a huge issue, but it irked me a little. Maybe it's less jarring when you have an ally. Still, it's been fun. I just finished playing as a speedy one-sworder, and have restarted, intending to play as a halberdier.
Halberds/Spears are fun, and extremely satisfying to use. Longer range than a sword, it usually lets you keep the boss's full body on the screen, making it easier to see attacks and dodge properly. Also much safer as long as you keep enough stamina to do at least one dodge after. Dash in, poke a couple hits, dash out. Furthermore, all the sword special attacks work with Spear weapons too. Great build for solo play.
I’ve only just got past the 1st Boss. It’s imo underrated. The story seems intricate, blood codes, gifts, & veils makes it VERY interesting. Anime style create character & NPC/co-op options and its in its own lane while paying respect to Souls. The level designs are pretty straight forward (so far) so that may be the only thing I can say is a takeaway.
So ik it's been out for a while I'm here in 2021 and was wondering if its still a live game or a dead server game I'm a die hard darksouls player and a huge fan of pvp and if u beat this game can u still continue in playthrough one or are u forced through play through 2
Horrors, better known as Aragami, came *before* the Queen actually, this was before the rise of God Eaters and Project QUEEN was all about weaponizing the BOR Parasite which had before then been examined and researched for medical purposes (the age-old pursuit of immortality) but Cruz frenzied and humanity's would-be saviour became another existential threat, prompting the local government to reanimate *more* Revenant's in order to put her down, ultimately leading to where the protagonist finds themself at the start of the game.
@@Kill-for-change At the moment, Code Vein is the only game of its kind, there is no series. However... the true ending does leave it off rather open-ended, so I'm not saying a sequel is off the table. That would depend on Capcom and Shift, I suppose.

oh im a tat late i guess :D I can only say i did not have high hopes since i hate the Dark Souls franchise. That beeing said i gave it a shot because you know anime and an actual storyline and.... ... i absolutley loved it :)
Cathedral is pretty easy once you know where your going and if the mobs are bothering you too much fog veil or camouflage from coco will get you through easy
@@redmen47 They should have done a much better job at that though. Like how Souls do it. They can have area's where you get lost but with enough running around for a bit you will find out. Not the case for Code Vein with the Cathedral. You have to know to look down and it's made much much MUCH worse with how the whole damn place looks the damn same. Honestly it was the biggest pace breaker in the whole game and doing something like making the Cathedral have multiple colors or adding different things in side the area's so you would at least be able to see it be different area's would have helped.
@@Xxandrew01 personally I like it but I had time to grow familiar with it while code vein is amazing at what it set out to do it will NEVER be as good as souls in level design the builds and combat are the bread and butter of Vein in my opinion
the Cathedral level I heard so many bad things about that makes me not want to play the game, like in FF 15 chapter 13 was so terrible that it ruined the entire game for me
hey dumbo u dont hav to hav a partner just talk to ur current partner at the base u can ditch them and actually enjoy the game solo, boom suddenly the bosses r real again and the game is 50x better in general
Castle part continuing after the flashback made me quit. The combat wasn't for me either, I hate slow panned animation combat. at least IF I am to believe the people who say the game is Anime dark souls, it lets me know Dark souls games wouldn't be for me either.
Hell Fire RPGs I personally hated it and felt betrayed by the overwhelmingly positive response. I’m glad you enjoyed it, but considering I bought the game only because it was received well critically it sort of rubs me the wrong way to hear it called ‘underrated’ when the negative responses are a rather small minority.
@@lo3572 It is not, just check steam regularly. I just bought bard's tale 4 for 10$ [66% discount] Realistic price is 50%, sometimes even 90% less. Also many games are way cheaper even though they are best in the genre: hollow knight, salt&sanctuary, grim dawn - all of them 6-8$. It WAS like that before steam and online sales, sure risen 3 on console was 50$, I bought it on steam for 5$.
RomanowRomanow Aleksiej I’m used to PS4 & its online games are more expensive than physical games, plus it costs money to play online. Being a PC gamer is a cheap dream in comparison.
@@lo3572 I never pay constant fees as a rule, I don't even play payed mmo's anymore. Mostly PC games on steam bought on discount [while I make money selling items on steam] or used console games but only offline. Steam market can pretty much completely cover your expenses on games especially if you get any free games too [review keys or sites like steamgifts] So I didn't even use real money for like 2-3 years at this point. I did buy some consoles but just for exclusives [ps 2-4 and old xbox] You just need to be really carefull with prices and discounts on steam cause difference can be massive. A 20$ game can suddenly drop to 5$ on any sale or daily deal.
Total miss for me... I played only the first location before the hub and it was so absurdly easy I gave up... To match the level of difficulty - I platinumed Sekiro. I didn't expect that much from this game, I wanted a cool stroll thru the story... But oh boy was this game stupidly easy... Parrying every enemy, deflecting, timing... And I felt like I was being held by hand most of the time and been given 1 shot weapons... And at the hub I was given the DLC stuff, which made my stats skyrocketed, so I just gave up... Also really hated the cheap shots with the slimes dropping on you from ceiling sometimes... Wasn't gamebreaking like in Nioh, but still... If you can't wage your difficulty in game, don't resort to cheap shots...
My biggest complaint about this game is the silent protagonist. It just seems really unnecessary with how well the other characters are voiced. It could be explained in game with something like.. died so many times she can't even remember how to speak, or is just mute; but it never bothers to do that, and I wouldn't have liked that either.
Repetitive music, long load, skill bloating. Wonky hurt boxes, terrible clothing customization to the point were they even put in an option to his your blood veil because it’s impossible to make them match. Late game areas are far less inspired then beginning areas and become more and more boring. Enemy time is so small. End game monsters have what seems like mountainous stagger resistance. No real unlocks other than skills and bloodveils. Poorly optimized gears that you end up getting the best blood veil in the second level. Enemy’s can hit you from behind even when you dodge their attacks. Recommendation: Meh. It’s a glorified dungeon crawler that has some awesome QOL improvements compared to its contemporaries. The most honest and best description someone could ever give it would still be just anime dark souls.
Sorry you can't say you enjoyed the game as that much or done much in the game when you only played 30 to 40 hours. Sounds like you jist completed the story and that was it. I like to farm everything it has to offer tbh. I'm starting this in the next few days and I already know I will be doing atleast 100+ hours on it.
Some people, like this reviewer, are saying it makes the boss fights and gameplay easy. But I'm finding it just as hard as any souls game. I'm pretty sure I've lost more to bosses in this game than I do in most souls games. Bloodborne's Kos being the biggest exception, whom I probably lost to 50+ times....I've never played Sekiro so I don't know about that, but I feel like this game is plenty hard enough for Souls fans.

623 hours for me I wish I was joking but I have no regrets 😂
There’s something unique charm about this game that make me can’t stop playing. It’s just that addicting. And I love all the characters in my party.

The violin piece during the memory restoration scenes is one of my favorite in-game songs as well. Everything about this game is pretty beautiful.
Gift management could have definitely been improved but the actual interface for using the gifts was super intuitive.
Underrated. The gift management is a plus for me. Finally free from RNG.

No real unlocks other than skills and bloodveils. Poorly optimized gears that you end up getting the best blood veil in the second level. Enemy’s can hit you from behind even when you dodge their attacks.
Recommendation: Meh. It’s a glorified dungeon crawler that has some awesome QOL improvements compared to its contemporaries. The most honest and best description someone could ever give it would still be just anime dark souls.
Sorry you can't say you enjoyed the game as that much or done much in the game when you only played 30 to 40 hours. Sounds like you jist completed the story and that was it. I like to farm everything it has to offer tbh. I'm starting this in the next few days and I already know I will be doing atleast 100+ hours on it.
Idk man, having an IA companion really turns me off, the fact that the game is balanced around that kinda ruins it for me...
Some people, like this reviewer, are saying it makes the boss fights and gameplay easy. But I'm finding it just as hard as any souls game. I'm pretty sure I've lost more to bosses in this game than I do in most souls games. Bloodborne's Kos being the biggest exception, whom I probably lost to 50+ times....I've never played Sekiro so I don't know about that, but I feel like this game is plenty hard enough for Souls fans.
Terrible game
