While lacking the magic of the Dark Souls games it tries to emulate, Code Vein is still a solid entry into the soulslike genre. Its anime aesthetic is appropriately over the top, and I often think back fondly of its stylish assortments of weapons and skills.

And the one area it does surpasses FromSoft's titles, the character creator, it absolutely knocks it out of the park. There are so many options to tweak little details here & there. It's become one of my favorite creators ever and other games should take ques from it.
