While many people began their love for Dontnod Entertainment after discovering the wonderful and heart-crunching Life is Strange, I was rather keen on the studio's first game, Remember Me, a cyberpunk action-adventure title that had some smart ideas...
Vampyr simply disappoints in too many regards to recommend. For every inch of innovation, there is endless, effortless copycatting. Its opening shows considerable promise: the plausible world and excellent music shining stars in a stirring premise. The...
