Code Vein 2: vampire Soulslike flair undone by dull, repetitive dungeons
Code Vein 2 aims to be a sprawling vampire Soulslike with a time‑travel twist, delivering satisfying combat, an invincible companion system, and flashy special attacks, but it overextends itself with dull, repetitive dungeons, reused enemies and bosses, and padding that drains the tension. If you loved the first game, you’ll find some improvements, but the open-world design and visuals can feel underwhelming compared to its stylish predecessor.
