Despite not being a perfect game, Code Vein's sales are definitely deserved. While the game is heavily influenced by the Souls series, its own take on the formula is interesting enough. Combat, in particular, is made very engaging by its weighty feel and the vast number of abilities that empower a variety of playstyles.

But despite its occasionally tedious locations, Code Vein does tap into the satisfaction that comes from exploration and conquest. With no real loading screens, you’ll want to keep pushing forward, testing your luck and hopefully pushing your sidekick off a skyscraper. The combat has a lot going on, even if most of the encounters start with the same type of ambush. Whether Code Vein can be remembered in the same way as Dragon's Dogma is yet to be seen, but its over the top edgy aesthetic and pretty decent combat make it fun enough to jump into.

Code Vein is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One worldwide. The game is now available
