Review title of NorahStarr The game is good but not great

Vampyr is a great idea, great theme, but some of it's traits qualities are for you to decide on. The game has great graphics and a good storyline but your choices are more about how hard you want the game to punish you for not doing what it recommends VS a normal experience. The combat feels outdated and your stamina drops fast for all attacks and dodges and that leaves you open for far too long, most of your choices do not impact the story beyond minute background details. The story is adequate and there is a decent amount of lore and explanation thats easy to follow, the farther you get through the game the longer the loading screens get and the more they appear even in combat. The last 30 minutes of the game was almost unbearable and harder for anyone wanting to play a good guy, I haven't seen loading screens this long since 2006. This game is challenging , if you like Victorian age London, old school Vampires and outdated medical procedures you will like this. Patience required.
