Vampyr tries to portray a dark story using innovative gameplay mechanics that rely on meaningful choices and powerful consequences. Despite how wonderful this may sound, a lot of the game‘s potential goes unrealized in a conflict between vision and budget. Unable to shake off the expectations set by Bloodlines and fighting to stay above mediocrity, Vampyr’s greatest achievement is taking a first step in redeeming the modern image of vampires.
Pros:
+ Atmospheric setting
+ Amazing soundtrack and high quality voice acting
+ The consequences to your actions have actual effects on the gameplay
+ Citizen menu is an interesting mechanic
+ Artistic direction
+ The protagonist
Cons:
– The game doesn’t acknowledge many of the player’s actions
– The gameplay is full of handholding elements
– The combat system lacks depth
– Issues with keybindings and controls
– Respawning enemies that scale with the story
– The amount of loot is inconsistent with the setting
– Loading screens
– Autosaving can be a nuisance

I wouldn't say it would. For all purposes, it would just make your ending less 'happy' but really, it's only happy if you're invested in the romance which is shit. |
Exactly, the game wants to give you the impression that being a chaotic evil-addicted vampire is the bad way (it also tries to make you feel bad afterwards, a cheap trick  ), but in reality sparing people and acting like a benevolent Gandhi isn't quite as fun as mastering the art of biting.
The consequences of reckless actions aren't as bad as you would think, if anything they spice things up a little.  As soon as I realized how corny the romance was going to become I just stopped "caring" so to speak and optimized my abilities, gained XP by eating necks and therefore made combat less repetitive/cumbersome. I was quite happy with the cynical outcome in the end.
@Nodrim: agreed! |

Great news. The lame respawning enemies were a complete waste of time considering the clunky combat.
1 and 2 are still amazing.

Completed, took my time with it and did all the investigations, learned hints and so on. I did not play the 100% good gut, killed npcs here and there.
I really loved the game, setting is one of my favorite, clothes, dialog, characters and story. Gameplay was a bit meh, but having so many abilities, the game gives you the option to choose what you like to play the most.
8/10

Finally finished it. Pretty good game, combat was dull and exploration could be better but overall good game!

Finished it now, great game overall, best with vampires for me. Presentation is top notch, characters, voice acting, story, investigations, city design, everything is high level. Loved the way you evolve regarding leveling and its consequences, very good idea. I played on normal and finished it at lvl 27 and managed to not kill any citizen  . Xp is pretty scarce if you dont mesmerize anyone but luckily some skills are OP like coagulation or abyss.
I would like to play it again and kill everyone this time to see what happens to the city but no ng+  .

I really liked the romanian references.
I thought they added NG+ already?

Just started this. On Normal. How can I become OP? Maybe that Claws thing if I do the upgrades which give you blood?
EDIT: I think I have this figured out, Autophagy, Claws and the passive stuff of course. Then maybe the shield thing ...
