THIS WAS A STRONG YEAR OF GAMING SO IT'S FAIR TO SAY ALREADY THAT THIS GAME IS 'BELOW AVERAGE' BUT WHAT I REALLY WANT TO SAY IT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE-TO 'THE WORST GAME OF 2019' WHICH IS modern warfare (2019)<br />THAT SAID, I HAD LOW EXPECTATIONS BC THE REVIEWS WERE POOR AND WHILE SO FAR IT'S STILL CLOSER TO THE BEGINNING I CONSIDER CODE VEIN A 'WATERED-DOWN AND SLOPPY MINI-VERSION OF SOULSBORNE (DARK SOULS III REMAINS MY #1 GAME OF ALL TIME)<br />THE THING I FIND A BIT OF A PROBLEM IS THAT WITHOUT THE NPC ALLY THE GAME BECOMES RIDICULOUSLY DIFFICULT AND TIME-CONSUMING, AND WITH THE NPC MOST OF THE TIME YOU FIND URSELF JUST EVADING ATTACKS AND WAITING FOR THE NPC TO DO THE KILLING<br />STORYLINE IS VERY LAME AND I'M NOT PAYING ANY ATTENTION!<br />7.3/10 SO FAR!
