I seriously can't believe this amateur hour idea of what a good soulslike game would be was published by Bandai Namco. This shit is so embarrassing!!

The character customization is fun and the charm of it's sheer unadulterated edginess is there for a while, but I quickly felt this game's wretched level design and utterly boring gameplay falling on me like an illness, or a knife in the back. Code Vein is like a case study on how to miss every single thing that makes a soulslike any good in the first place. A painful game to actually try and play.
