So far so
not so good.
Spent about 35 minutes into the character creations screen and some 2 hours in the first part of the
Code Vein (single player) game.
The story is good. Even without any friends, I see this a different take on a genre, there is so much lore and interesting things...I am sure this story will have a great plot twist. Graphics also look and feel very smooth and beautiful.
The unique aspect never been done before, dark-souls like game + anime all combined into a very fast-changing class system, multi-weapon fighting stances.
Thing is the rest of the game is 95% fighting. ANd it's not too good....Very much made for consoles, and intended to be placed 100% with a controller the skills are hard to manage on a keyboard. Even tho after few more hours one can get used to the skill system, you need to pass the not very fluid combat mechanics.
Code Vein does not have dark souls combat. It's slower, it waits for the animation, it's ...not that great.
I will have a hard time trying to convince any friend of mine to buy this because- of the combat system.

Nioh story is all over the place. After a few cutscenes, i have not understood anything, except for the dark- sad fealling that it gives you.
Like I said before if you only stick with co-op the game is worth it.
And coming only hours apart from Nioh's very fluid combat system....Code Vein feels so slow and sluggish. Granted both games fully meant to be played with a controller, at least Nioh is done right.
