When reviewing a game, it’s a given that one would play the game being reviewed to learn more about it, but it’s decidedly less common for just posting a game review a similar learning experience. That’s what happened when I put up my initial take on Code Vein last week.
And just what did I learn? Mainly, I learned that there’s a surprisingly diverse range of opinions on just what is most important in determining how much – or how little – a given game is like Dark Souls. And it’s in those differences of standard that a player can decide whether Bandai Namco’s vampiric action-RPG can live up to its clearest inspirations.
