Vampyr is a vampire action game from the same people that are responsible for the popular/infamous Zoomer simulator Life is Strange.

Despite Vampyr having many interesting themes and ideas, it is somehow one of the most boring action games I’ve ever played.

Nearly everyone speaks in monotone. The environments are all dull, dark, drab and gloomy, with many of the areas looking very samey. Most of the characters aren’t interesting, and the few that are don’t really get to do much.

The biggest issue is that despite being a game about being a vampire, the game punishes you for doing the vampire related mechanics. You can feed on civilians for experience, but doing so can make the district they live in worse, potentially losing the ability to feed on other civilians. Story choices that are in favor of vampires are usually presented as a bad choice.
