We’re not sure what to think about Code Vein just yet. None of the gameplay footage that’s been shown so far has looked great, and that continues to be true with the title’s third trailer. Many will be drawn in by the anime aesthetic, of course, but it all just seems a bit edgy to us – and it’s not helped by the Saliva-inspired soundtrack.
That said, we really enjoy the Dark Souls format, and this is one of the more stylish copycats that we’ve seen since the series blew up. The jury’s still out, then – but we’re keeping an open mind. The title’s set to release in Early 2018 on the PlayStation 4.

definitely getting this game.I like that you got a friend thats helping you in the game.word up son
It's looking great to me. I just couldn't enjoy the Dark souls series. The characters were boring to me and the medieval esthetics we're bland and drab.
I was really excited for this after the teaser trailer, but my interest has completely dropped off since.
I like Souls. I like Anime. But this seems very 'meh'.
It looks nice, but it’s still missing the point of Souls. I stand by what I said before: Souls games are great because of their brilliant level design, deep lore, and skill-based combat. This is focused way too heavily on the combat engine, which is still meh, without anything exciting to show for the other two. Nice style, weak substance.
I'm interested. But I can see why so many remain unconvinced. Will need to see what the reviews say.
I'm also not convinced about this game yet, every video looks ok at best and that's it.
Hmm this game is edgy Ik a certain piece of DLC we needs
Where’s our Edgy The Hedgehog DLC
Ufotable does the Animations Insta orgasm.
The game went from ok to must play.
I like anime
I like God Eater
so if this has coop missions ill get it.
The voice acting rubs me the wrong way, and I just can't take what they're saying seriously. Not the way they're saying it.
I enjoy anime, but this just seems very standard and boring, at least on first impressions.
@AnimeGamerFan Watch the language please.
@AnimeGamerFan It's the opposite for me. It's not that I'm burned out on souls. I have an insatiable hunger for more souls (or blood echoes). But this doesn't look like it's going to scratch that itch. It might still be good, but I think it's trying too hard to be souls and that's ultimately going to hurt how it's perceived and received, especially by souls fans who are burned out on so-called "Souls-likes". Seriously, I see a game get compared to souls now and I cringe.
I too like anime, but Code Vein is a "wait for reviews and maybe buy later" for me at this point. Maybe by the time it releases they'll change my mind. I'm certainly keeping an eye on it either way.
