Vampyr

Platform: PC

The atmosphere of Victorian London is excellent; supported by the soundtrack and effects. The mechanics of eating NPCs to get stronger, but causing a moral dilemma and negatively affecting the areas is an interesting mechanic, but not for everyone. The game starts off well, but I couldn't finish it for several reasons. 1, The combat is frustrating; it mostly consists of watching your stamina bar and dodging. 2, Considering how integral the NPCs and dialogue is to the game, the voice acting is stiff and dull. 3, People get sick every day and you have to cure them, but there's no way to track them so you just have to wander around. 4, It's not a great PC port and controls are clunky.
