Honestly, I really like Code Vein, most people criticized it due to being an "anime dark souls", and of course not being as good as the former, but I personally think that it was much more.
For me, it was quite a better version of God Eater, I found the setup pretty cool, it behaved like a decent JRPG, having some cool characters and ideas, the story wasn't particularily good, but it had interesting thoughts and touching parts, its also had fun combat and interesting customization, and it had cool mechanics/elements as the character's echoes, which allowed you to wander the character's pasts, althought it felt a little boring after doing it repeatedly.
But most important, this game has one of the best soundtracks in gaming, which is a little sad, cause the game isn't as good as its OST, which is absolutely brilliant and beautiful, I can't explain how much it means to me, the most I could do is using all the OST in my DnD campaign and giving my players the best experience I ever could.
Code Vein it's such a good album that it even comes with a game!
Jokes aside, Go Shina and Jose Delgado are amazing, Bandai should give them more projects and let master Motoi Sakuraba rest, as he has done plenty already, and he isn't as great as he used to be, which is logic, considering his age, I think that these two former composers really envisioned the game as a masterpiece, if not, I can't imagine how they composed something as good.
Overall, it's a cool game, but it had more potential, I hope Bandai Namco makes a sequel!

Sei lá
A very solid souls like game with an anime aesthetic. Certain maps, however, were not that great to explore while the rest were just okay. The bosses provided a serviceable experience, but nothing extraordinary, and the same could be said for the story. If you're out of souls like games to play, it's worth a shot.
It had some interesting ideas but it just didn't feel good to play. And the good ideas are what Elden Ring stole anyways so meh.
Code Vein is an adequate facsimile of Dark Souls, but lacks that game's storied charm. Enemy design is repetitive and level design ranges from mediocre to horrible (although the excellent map system helps mitigate that somewhat). While the overall plot and premise are interesting, the cutscenes are excruciating to the point that I lost interest in the plot. Side-quests are utterly meaningless with generic rewards. The veil/blood code system is interesting and allows for flexible class-building/switching. The combat is fast-paced and smooth, with well-designed encounters, but the difficulty is extremely uneven. Overall a game with a lot of promise that slowly wore down my enjoyment until I couldn't be bothered to keep playing.
