Vampyr
I yearn to give this game an 8. It fulfills many of its promises and I enjoyed my time with it. However—speaking for my Playstation 4 review copy (v1.02)—when you take the above alongside grammatical errors, UI errors, crashes, continually pausing to load, combat clunk, and perhaps its narrow interpretation...
The Station is short, simple, and sweet. It’s atmosphere-heavy and narrative-light; exploration-rich and challenge-impoverished. However, the attention to setting detail and aesthetic are top-notch, which (for those who come in expecting little more than an immersive walkabout) does much to alleviate the brevity and superficiality of the intended path.

This is a juncture where each player must decide for themselves: Even if overall a decent video game, is this a decent Dynasty Warriors game? Such is the risk of renewal; change that seems necessary to some is not even desired by others. The fans of yesterday won’t always be...

Without straying into spoiler territory, I also felt that the ending lacked a quarter-measure of closure on my first pass. An unexpectedly sentimental conclusion sacrifices a plot thread to get there, and the final moments felt like they were leading somewhere more. Perhaps, as talk of mice pirates and dog...
Yet while its objective flaws stand out, they don’t weigh Mask of Deception down quite enough to diminish its entertainment value. It lands awkwardly between a serious SRPG-VN and a quirky Aiun-inspired harem anime a mere stone’s throw from its eroge origins, yes. But will that do anything to turn off its...
For the occasional graphical stutter and a few moments of mechanical frustration (and, if we’re being honest, partly to be completely sure I didn’t let my biases get the better of me) I’ve docked a single point. Does that mean it borders on perfection or merely commands a respectable A-minus?...
