And actually - I don't have any problems with game, not crashing or freezing like others mentioned in lowest score reviews.
Little about the game -- Not ordinary or linear story - very interesting to follow, you have to make your decisions. Great made voice acting. Interesting written Dialogue conversations. (Not simply bla-bla about nothing - like exist in many RPG games), in this one interesting to listen. Very detailed made 4 Districts of London, especially West-End District with great looking environment and interior inside houses and many other Great things...I am playing friendly with NPCs (citizens) completing their quest lines, healing them and without embracing them.
Combat - is little clumsy sometimes, but anyway overall game is awesome. When you learn it, game is not hard even You are always under-leveled. Do side quests, earn some XP and Enjoy the Game. Experiment with skills. You can reset them - if You are not satisfied. First time for free.
Can share some advises if You struggling with difficulty of game:
About skills to use -- Suggesting: Most Important skill: Autophagy Lv. 2-3 - You will able to heal yourself, Shadow Mist Lv. 2-3, For Ultimate skill: Abyss - help with bosses and big enemies. Also using few others: Blood Barrier (not often) and Coagulation (this one very helpful against regular enemies and Boss fights - it freezes them for 3-5 seconds, depends on Lv.). With those skills don't have now any problems with progress of game and saving citizens.
About weapons: Linston knife (You can get on beginning of Chapter 2, in Morgue) - very fast absorbs blood which needs for using the skills. Very powerful weapon - is Mace (found in sewers in hidden Hideout, Chapter 3, when You first time meet friendly Scals). Myself using more Hatchet and Dragonbane sword for now, Mace is too powerful (upgraded), kills everybody almost in few hits, not interesting (I currently in middle of game, in chapter 4).
Ranged weapons like pistols or shotguns - is up to You. Very powerful is Milton's Shotgun (upgraded), You can buy it from him in Hospital area. Or embrace him - if You playing in different way (killing NPC), then will be for free.
Update: At the end of Chapter 4 - You will get Remarkable Saber - fully upgrade it - great and very fast melee weapon with decent damage to deal. Hope this will helps others and will make game much more easier and enjoyable.
And Sure --- Big Thanks to Dontnod company - for awesome game.
The dark atmosphere was fantastic for the story, and I felt fully immersed in the game for the dozen or so hours I've put into it so far. I have completed one playthrough and achieved most of the trophies, though there are at least two or three that you will need a second run to claim them if that's something that's important to you.
As for combat, it did leave something to be desired at times, but it's not so simple of a game that you can get by with just button-mashing, and I found that aspect to be really refreshing. Different enemies do have different weaknesses, so it's unlikely that most players will be able to get by with just using one key move through the entire game.
Dialogue was ultimately good, though I feel that there was a bit of "emptiness" to the game if you're doing a pacifist playthrough, because while there are a few fetch quests, many of the citizen's problems are only solved by taking a life and it feels strange to exhaust all the dialogue options for each character and not have any other option to improve their situation.
Overall I'd give this game a 9/10, and recommend it to anyone who likes choice-based games, open world games, or vampire lore in general. History and literature buffs will also enjoy some aspects of the game as there are quite a few interesting references around. However, geography enthusiasts may not be pleased, as I'm pretty sure that the layout of London is a bit inaccurate here. Shouldn't stop most people from playing, but I know some are picky about that sort of thing.
Well, it certainly isn't much like Life is Strange on the surface, but the dialogue, choices, characters, a lot of that is fairly similar. However, Vampyr is much more open-world than Life is Strange. Vampyr has an entire combat system and the ability to craft and roam the map. This game is honestly a bit hard. I don't mind playing hard games if I'm really into the franchise or something (like Fallout), but for this I just wanted to mostly get through the storyline and kill things. I didn't want to worry too much about strategy and things like that.
There is quite a bit of strategy involved. Basically - while you do gain experience from quests, sucking the blood of citizens gives you a TON of exp fast. However, with that comes a lot of downsides. You obviously lose that character's entire storyline after doing that (so at least wait until you unlock all hints to do it), affect the health of the rest of the community, etc. Every time you go to sleep the illnesses of the community deteriorate a bit and you have to keep crafting medicine to help them.
Now, I'm a pacifist type of player in games with choices...I don't really like killing innocent people or making the evil choice. So I hated having to kill people. You CAN try a pacifist run at the game, but you will have an extremely difficult time progressing at one point or the other because monsters will start to be way too strong for you. If you really want to just play the game more for the story and don't care much about the challenge, there are certain videos on YouTube that can help you out.
As far as the storyline goes, it's pretty interesting. I won't spoil anything, but it's definitely really dark and I can see the writers from Life is Strange in this game. It also has that really far-left leaning bent to the game. In Life of Strange there was so much propaganda on climate change, socialism, etc. Vampyr is a lot like that. All of the people who think migrants are taking too many of the natives' supplies are crazy, evil, insane people, and then the all of the people fighting for the migrants are heroes, saints, revolutionaries. Not a joke. I don't really mind it, find it kind of amusing honestly, but just letting you know.
The combat system feels a little clunky at times, not the smoothest game ever....but still really interesting with a lot of good characters and an interesting storyline. It is very dark. Kind of reminds me of a weird hybrid of Life is Strange and Dark Souls.
