CODE VEIN

Hmm..... ok, ok. I'll give this a [b]POSITIVE[/b]. But... BUT.... [b]BUUUUUUUUUT!!![/b] The cathedral is one of THE single worst designed maps in gaming. Blighttown seems bad, but it's actually cleverly designed. 4-2 (Demon's Souls) is pretty bad, but at least you can more or less sprint through the main path without confusing turns and branching paths. Water temple (OoT) is bad, but comparatively manageable. The cathedral is essentially Anor Londo, but where every-f**kin-corner and drop loops into a different path, that branches into 3 more paths, that further has 2 more drops and a ladder at the end of it. It's awful. Legitimately awful design. It's just a confusing mess of drops, t-sections and ladders that make no sense at all. There's a "quick cathedral guide" on Youtube, and it's the quickest I've managed to find; it's [b]17[/b] minutes long. In comparison, Anor Londo's "quick guide" is 5:50. This one area is why I dropped the game several years ago, and why I'm now picking it back up again, but going through this god-awful area using a guide. That aside, it's ok. Even fun-ish? I wish there were more weapon type options, but even in the same weapon class movesets can differ, so it keeps it interesting enough. Magic is a viable option, too, as is ranged. Decent enough game; phenomenal customization. Do NOT pay full price though. It's not worth $70-80 (not even close). Wait for a hefty 60~90% off. EDIT: already got bored of it after playing for like 6 hours. It's an easy game to get bored of. Enemies, locations, all seem kinda samey after a while.
