Oh look another obvious ambush
During cutscenes
You are able to skip them altogether
But you are unable to pause the game. Combat isn't nearly as tight as other Souls games. The game doesn't do a very good job of telling you where to go next. Sometimes
This sometimes convoluted action RPG won't be for everyone. Still, Code Vein should draw in anime fans looking for a gripping, challenging gaming experience. Souls fans should enjoy this too, assuming they're seeking combat that's a tad less stressful, wi...
