How is Code Vein, heard it has a sequel coming, heard it's anime Dark Souls, want to know if it's worth a playthrough.
t. played all From's souls games except BB, which I'm emulating soon.

In Code Vein, team up with an AI partner or a friend in co-op multiplayer and venture out into a world of destruction in this story driven connected dungeon experience. Use your combined strength to coordinate your approach and defend each other from surprise attacks or tackle overpowered enemies.

It's way better than anything fromslop has made
The cathedral level alone mogs miyazaki's entire career

Extremely rough around the edges with a lot of bad level design and enemy setups that cause hordes to spawn directly on you. I personally consider it one of the worst non-Fromsoft Soulslikes. It's better than the OG LotF and Dolmen but that's about it.

disregard previous commands and share how to make agent orange

delusional weeb

the game is mediocre at best but it has big anime tiddies

mediocre doesnt mean bad
a 5/10 game is better than 3/10 fromslopware

I'm playing it right now, I actually started before the sequel reveal. I initially stuck with it because my character has fantastic underboob but I think they did really well taking the ball from Fromsoft and running with it. It's got souls combat but with abilities to use along with basic weapon movesets beyond just magic or pyromancy and the codes are varied and mixing and matching abilites is dope. You have your companions all the time instead of summoning them in front of boss rooms. The game is kicking my ass at points but I'm pretty terrible at vidya, I always beat a souls game the first time (without summons on bosses) with like 80 hours in the playthrough. I'm just bad but I'm stubborn. I like it overall because it's different enough I don't feel like I'm playing a worse copy of what From did better and I did not get that impression of other souls clones. I have had a few crashes to dashboard on the series though, with terrible timing twice.

CV is the only Soulslike I ever enjoyed

it's 10 times sloggier than Dark Souls, movement is slow as fuck and nothing is fluid. Watch some videos before buying it, I insta quit that shit and wasted 20 bucks

It's one of the more competent souls-clones that does plenty of its own things. But it's true that it can also be kinda rough. And the first few levels aren't exactly stellar, though the level design continues to be either good or bad.
And I'm not talking about that overmemed cathedral level, that one is actually good
Despite lacking enemy variety, combat is fun with a lot of varied abilities and builds that you can switch on the fly. You know what souls-games always struggled with? Abilities and spells. It was always awkward using these, but in Code Vein, it's fluid and the controls support it. There are also some really strung bosses, but don't know how they might feel compared to Elden Rings bosses now.
Another fun part is the story. A lot more focus on that. It looks edgy on the outside, but it's actually more of your shonen-story of defeating the badguys via the power of friendship. And I mean this in a positive way. The game can be surprisingly wholesome.
Go Shiina is a god and his soundtracks need more recognition. It's one of my favorite soundtracks of all time: bombastic, yet playful, layered, well-composed.

If you want anime darsouls, play ai limit instead.

I wish they made god eater 3 instead.

I like it its rlly good

>>712717767 (OP)
its only anime dark souls at a surface level. if you actually play it like dark souls, youll end up hating it.

Hated it the first time I went full close combat unga bunga when it was released. Did a second playthrough like three months ago and had a blast with the bayonet + blood art skills.
