Abstract: Sitting pretty at the #1 top-selling slot this week is Dontnod Entertainment's Vampyr, the action RPG with a dash of open-world romp sprinkled with a moderate level of vampire goodness review here. While the game unlocks tonight on PC, the official rele...
A lot can be said about this game. It's ambitious and fun but lacks a likable or well-developed protagonist. The combat doesn't feel all that challenging, but the vampire powers are fun as hell to use. For me, the things I dislike about the game levels up...
Vampyr is a slow burn of an RPG, taking its time to ramp up its intriguing blend of science and the supernatural in an elaborately gloomy version of London. When it gets going you can see the potential of the way it offers you more power if you consume it...

Interesting moral test, Well-realised characters, Atmospheric victorian London setting
Combat can feel imprecise, Easy to make big mistakes with small decisions, Not always well explained
As much a detective story as a horror one, Vampyr rewards you for taking an interest in the people around you and tests your moral compass with a lack of black and white options...
Excellent soundtrack, Engaging story shaped by your actions and inactions, rather than dialogue choices, Room for very different playthroughs, Looks great
