The music is fantastic. It's wonderfully orchestrated and it really ramps up the intensity during battle sequences. Character customization has a plethora of options that lead to some awesome results. Adding to that

The editors didn't like
Uninspired world
Poorly conceived NPCs
Lazy side content
Abysmal storytelling
Awkward cutscenes and leery camera
Settings lack originality
Enemies are too static and don't provide meaningful challenge
Forgettable boss fights
The environmental visual design is very samey
Meandering level designs feel too cut and dry
Please stop saying blood
What does any of this mean?
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
Abstract: Code Vein by Bandai Namco Entertainment is arriving sometime in 2019 and we are absolutely excited about it. During an event by Bandai Namco Entertainment a few weeks ago, we got the chance to try out a demo of the game. Here are our first impressions. Co...

Abstract: Either I'm really bad at Code Vein or Code Vein is really hard—I think it's a combination of the two. During my lengthy two-hour play session with Bandai Namco's upcoming anime Souls-like, I found myself failing more times than I ever have in From Softwar...

Gorgeous anime art, In-depth character customization, Memorable story
Too easy, Recycled enemies, Clunky combat
Code Vein's lackluster combat is held up by great character customization, and its boring world is driven by a memorable story. It's clunky and uneven, but fun...
An unholy union of anime, Dark Souls, and My Chemical Romance, Code Vein is as much about style as substance. If that sounds good to you, then you're in for a treat, even if it lacks some of the polish of the genre's best...

Reviewed on PS4Ultimately, Code Vein is a somewhat campy, but fun, breath of fresh air in a genre that has felt a little stale outside of games like Sekiro. The companions are fun, if a little one-note at times, and the combat is brutal, but exhilaratin...
Code Vein is shaping up to be a competent RPG that builds upon the formula it clearly takes inspiration from. Its tense, accurate combat and fascinatingly bleak setting combine to create an anime-centric experience I'm incredibly eager to dive into next y...
Abstract: It's insultingly easy to pass Code Vein off as Dark Souls for anime fans, something which many a website has done…but hot damn it genuinely is anime Dark Souls. All the ingredients are there for a Souls-like game, from overly familiar mechanics, weapon cl...
