I figured Code Vein's story would just be anime vampire nonsense, and it kind of is, but I enjoyed it because it's told through endearing characters whose individual stories are directly shaped by your actions. You have the unique ability to not only restart Bloodsprings with your blood, but also to rekindle lost memories using Vestiges, blood crystals scattered throughout the world.

With one or two dubious exceptions, every woman in the game is rolled out as eye candy, and a genuinely tedious number of gigantic corrupted boss monsters wear nothing but bras and thongs. One cutscene used the same ridiculous ‘panning up from breasts to face’ shot three times. This shit can jump straight in the same bin as all those ads you used to see for terrible browser-based strategy games. Even so, I still probably wouldn’t have chosen ‘sexist’ as my first descriptor of the game, if not for the cutscene shown in this screenshot.

The Good

Compelling story
Incredibly detailed character creator
Deep and fun combat system
Great anime art style

The Bad

Combat can be clunky
Starts too slow
Not enough enemy and weapon variations

While Code Vein can be very fun, it has major issues that might drive away players after just a few hours. The starting area is bland and the enemies are very easy, an intended design choice since it acts as a tutorial. Also, the story doesn't pick up until mid-game, another reason that many players might find Code Vein boring at first glance.
