Vampyr is a tired game. From annoying technical issues to exaggerated stories, the game is on almost every occasion. As a result, it looks like a funny narrative-based action game that breaks down into your actions turns out to be a soul-like mane festival for a hard-core conclusion. The quality of production in most of this game is impressive, but it is rarely worth fighting. I find it generally tasteless to enjoy insulting someone's creative work when a team of generally talented people finds out that they have done something to do something special.
Vampyr Gameplay
This is the case of Vampyr. Dontnod is a respected developer. I respect this, even if I tear apart this creative endeavor. So before exploring what made this game so hard, I'd like to acknowledge what this game is good for. Vampyr is set in the early 20th century in London and boasts foggy alleyways, winding roads and aging Victorian architecture. Most of the gaming areas in the city are well organized in terms of level design, but most of the sections feel the same. The lighting of the game reflects the mood of the story in a way that is incomparable anywhere in the game's vampire genre.
Vampyr's music is the most important part of this game. Olivier Deriviere, who composed the soundtrack of the game, did a great job setting the atmosphere of the eerie nightlife. Cello and choir hymns flow into beautiful, unforgettable moments. Dr. Jonathan Reid is starting to bloom by fascinating weak citizens. The quality of the conversation has been greatly appreciated overall, even though the artist may have cried out conversation options.
Characters of Vampyr game
The characters in the game all have their own stories, but so are the side characters. Milton Hooks took the example of an ambulance driver with a shotgun at the hospital entrance. Although Milton is not decisive in the story, there is no similar character in the rest of the game. Not to mention the excellent voice acting. And that's where the compliments end.
Vampyr Review for PC and Xbox
Let's start with a number of performance issues in games that do not last on PC or Xbox One. My Playstation 4 was always ubiquitous. You can run on the winding alleys in Vampyr. Jog again. At many moments in the relatively open world of the game, the game will stop completely at the rest of the level before the health meter runs out. In other words, this game can not consume the physical strength before the game panic, and should not move anymore. These loading pauses harassed face value because artificial intervention was not fully immersed in the experience. It got worse when I turned past warned enemies to attack me.
Pausing these loads multiple times can cause unnecessary damage. This can be solved by placing a section of the world behind the door where the game is played in a particular area and switching to the appropriate loading screen before spawning in the next area. In addition to this mid-playback loading pause, there was a longer load time per minute between the zone and respawns. Each loading screen lasts for at least 40 seconds and some for more than 2 minutes.
This is true even if you die and resurrect in the same area. (I often joke that this game had "national anthem loading time" due to the universally bad press I received at the time of release.) I even needed to load screen activity to please myself while streaming. This should never be considered by the player. The sound of the game has made me squeal over and over many times to disturb the wonderful music.
This happened arbitrarily and randomly as if there was no obvious reason for the sound to break. The only solution is to re-solve this problem by completely closing and reloading the game. The underlying fundamental problem associated with the performance of this game is the fact that it literally crashed four times during the play stage. Previously, the game never stopped on any console.
Especially my PlayStation 4 did not. I do not have a copy of my PC Vampyr for performance comparison, but at this point I do not want it. You can not accept conflicting games at any time during simple game play. The battle of a vampire is also not done properly. Obviously, developers have seen games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne for game design. Especially as to how they imitated the battle.
Your character, Dr. Jonathan Reid has two major load-outs to choose your favorite weapon type. I ended up wielding the two-handed staff. There is no doubt that the game offers many different kinds of weapons to choose from to suit your tastes, but weapons are really nothing in combat. Although I do not seek games like many souls, I understand why people are satisfied with battle patterns. Dodge, attack a few times, and return to Parry to avoid enemy retaliation.
I'm nervous. Learn the enemy's specific hits and patterns, adapt to it, and patiently wait for the final blow. You hit the final blow and the adrenaline rushes. This style of battle does not appeal to me, but the implementation of the snake peer was at best awkward. The person response to the character is cumbersome, the enemy response is inconsistent, and sometimes you should not watch out. I specifically remember what was hiding behind the door while the enemy was watching the next shotgun attack, and hit me right through the door as if I had not been there.
Combat also suffers from inattentive hit boxes, common and repetitive enemies, and fleeing to stop everything to stop and escape. Somehow this was missed or ignored during the play test. The quality of one bonus in a battle is an obstruction and stunning technique that allows you to gain an advantage over most combat situations while drawing enemies. There is no real stealth mechanic in this game, but when you consider the combination of environment settings and vampire abilities, you may feel embarrassed, but you have the option of patiently waiting before you go on your expedition.

Game story
When you slowly sneak around, the game will ask you for your ability to knock down and defeat this extraordinary enemy that will lower your health and supplement you. However, as soon as you do this, all other enemies around you are warned. A fun stealth system that changed the battle experience could be turned into a small advantage for the beginning of most meetings. Biting also makes it temporarily invincible to the attack of the coming enemy. There is only one reason I explain the combination of beating, stunning, and redeeming because I give you agency in this rude and pathetic fight.
Much of Vampyr's battle is based on available stamina. Everything you do, attack, evade, etc., will consume your stamina. Often we are literally waiting for a game during battle. Parry and stunned technicians lead to an opportunity to take their blood off of their health and raise their own, and this is the only reason the combat system is not entirely serious. The story itself is an interesting story about postwar London, but nothing dramatic or surprising.
You are a doctor who must follow the harsh reality that a new born vampire is born. Dr. Morally, Dr. Jonathan Reid must adhere to the oath of Hippocrates. He has people to heal, to protect the citizens, and to preserve as much of his humanity as possible. One of the strengths of this narrative is that the slogan for the vampire genre is not always serious and imminent. One of the main aspects of buying and playing Vampyr was the promise of narrative and player agencies that influence the outcome of the story.
To some extent, this is passed on from the game. There are four main endings that players can reach. Some of these endings can be quite dark or some welcome. But reaching this end is boring because of the fact that the game is automatically stored in every possible corner. In other words, you can not experiment with different play styles and conclusions by keeping multiple archives.
Vampyr guide
The game is left to the value of killing vampire's blood from the beginning, killing members of the planet to gain experience points, greatly leveling you, becoming a doctor, protecting you, affirming your lifetime I will. Saving innocent people. The initial interaction between cutscenes and other characters makes it clear that the game wants to make this choice to drive your style of play. This is an interesting view of the game that fell in the middle of my play mood. If you choose to play conservatively, heal sick patients, and gain experience by completing quests, you will not level up too much.
This means that enemies are overwhelmed very quickly. You have the option to upgrade your weapon. If you kill an enemy or acquire a part that you can find by trading with a merchant, you will eventually find a powerful enemy that will sweep your character through a few attacks. If you are tempted to kill a named person, you will have a considerable experience. This makes leveling (and therefore combat) much easier.
However, feeding a citizen can destabilize one's health. If you kill too many people, especially the pillars of the community, the planet will fall into hostility, the named person disappears and the store closes. In their position, the evil and deadly enemy is now passing through a dark, abandoned corridor. In other words, playing a dark version of Dr. Jonathan Reid and sucking in the blood of the citizens is actually counterproductive by creating stronger enemies where they can run to fulfill future missions.
If you can raise your stats and gain new abilities, the game will be easier, but only for the first 30 minutes after you decide to kill the citizen. There are few major bosses throughout the story of Vampyr, such as the horrible Doris Fletcher and Geoffrey McCullum. This boss fight is the most memorable moment of my place. Because not because they are well designed, but because they are cruel unless you level up enough.
The fight with Doris decided to kill about 30 people before I came in and kill the people in the neighborhood. Once I raised the level, I was able to defeat her in just a few minutes. It was the right decision about my play. I am generally out of the game difficulties. And this has been compounded by loading times like Anthem. But as I mentioned earlier, this decision has had dire consequences.
About vampyr update
The fight with Geoffrey McCullum was so difficult that I really thought about giving up the game at that point. McCullum is armed with a bad crossbow attached to his arm, and he takes advantage of his strengths in meeting you. The fight takes place in a large, open room. This game is pretty standard. However, McCullum quickly depletes your health by turning on obscene overheads that burn you. (The logic here is that the vampire is harmed by sunlight.) McCullum is not only shooting at a distance but also being an absolute tank as well as burning you with random deadly lights.
In the first few attempts at this stadium, I barely took away a quarter of his health. It felt unfair. And I went back to the streets to eat a few more, and eventually sealed the deal for this fight. Perhaps this will start to think of you as "gud gud" instead of misrepresenting the game instead of all of you starting to read. I will allow it. But these bosses fundamentally changed the way I wanted to play the game - a particularly significant example of gameplay, design and mechanics. (Ironically, I hit the final boss on the first attempt.)
Obviously the choice between how difficult the character battles and the boss fights for the experience was an intentional decision by the oppressive DontNod to the player. However, when it became clear that I was not capable of playing the game story without corrupting my character, this choice was not even. Even if you chose to play in a pacifist way, the problem of ludonarrative dissonance still exists. Dr. Jonathan Reid fights and kills hundreds of enemies throughout the game, not everyone is a monster.
Whether you are a priest, a vampire hunter, or another enemy, your enemies are definitely human. You need the ability to be temporarily invisible to pass through the area. It is not the most reliable way, and you must block the road because you do not pass through the area and the door through the game. If you were found, when I killed someone who was hanging on the cross that I was fighting for the church, I came up with the idea.
Vampyr achievements
How can someone who is a pacifist can handle this?" And in some ways there is no uncomplicated big answer, or it destroys the story that this game is about to say. Vampyr is not a terrible video game, it is a bad game. The developers of this game have taken a valuable risk. A lot of love has entered this final product.
It barely misses the mark, but it is overlooked in many important ways, including technical and performance issues, poorly iterative battles, and essentially offering the player a false dichotomy in terms of choice. There are potential customers for this game that will overlook all these flaws about the narrative experience. But when the credit finally came out, I was relieved. All in all, I do not think this game is a worthwhile game.
