There are many Dark Souls wannabes, but only one tricked me into thinking it was Dark Souls at first. Bandai Namco initially promoted Code Vein with a “Prepare to dine” tagline, which got everyone’s hopes up before it was revealed that no, this wasn’t actually a Souls game. Or at least not a Souls game proper.
Code Vein ($60 preorder on Amazon) still pretty Souls-esque though, so perhaps that “Prepare to dine” tagline wasn’t too deceptive. It’s sort of like Dark Souls combined with a vampire-themed anime, of all things. I went hands-on with the game for the first time this week, and remain about as confused as ever. Read on for my initial impressions.
