Vampyr has an amazing story, great character design, and wonderful atmosphere building. Each character is beautifully voiced, and the NPCs are well-designed. I enjoyed talking to all the NPCs, learning about themselves, finding hidden things about them (and silently judging them for their life choices). Quite a few easter eggs are hidden all over the game. It is nice when you suddenly stumbled upon one while looking around. The game soundtrack also fits the environment quite well.

However, I am not really a fan of the exp and combat. Weird combat camera angle sometimes makes the fight harder than it is. I understand why they made combat kill exp minimal compared to draining blood from NPC. You will suffer in the final battle if you choose to be good. And if you embrace evil, the final fight will be easier. But I do wish there was a better way to explore this theme than getting 5 exp per armed enemy killed and gaining 1000+ for unarmed civilians.
There is also a lot of running back and forth between different city districts. The mini-map certainly helps a lot, but I wish a fast travel system existed.

This is a game that I wish there would be a sequel to continue the journey of the main characters.
