An overly elaborate Souls-themed shitpost. The level design is full of obnoxious corridors with bad signposting amplified by dumb ambushes. If talking raw mechanics Code Vein doesn't do anything particularly bad but I didn't vibe with how floaty it feels and the game's complete lack of hitstop, stagger, and knockback. It's like it took the worst aspects of God Eater and put it into a Souls game. That said, I have a softspot for its character creator and dumb 00's anime edge so I'll give it that!
