Vampyr floated under the radar for many, including myself, due to its release window. Its launch was saturated with AAA titles on either side of its release, with Detroit: Become Human, Sea of Thieves, Far Cry 5 and God of War all being released within close proximity. In addition, many other excellent remasters and remakes were also released. If a vampire game heavy on the conversation wheel is not your thing then it would be easily missed and that was the case for many.
