A good few years have passed now since Bandai Namco launched its own Dark Souls-esque action RPG, the original Code Vein – but reviews for its sequel, Code Vein 2, are a mixed bag so far so far.
If you've played the first Code Vein, then you likely remember it for its unique anime-aligned aesthetic and action-packed combat – two things its follow-up certainly boasts. The newer game isn't impressing on all ends, however, it seems. Eager fans who pre-purchased it and have 72-hour early access have been posting their thoughts on Steam, where reviews now sit with a "Mixed" rating overall.
The "Mixed" rating doesn't imply negative reviews across the board, though – and there are plenty of players who appear to be enjoying their time with Code Vein 2.
Current Code Vein 2 reviews undeniably harbor quite an assortment of opinions, unlike the first game, which sits comfortably with a "Very Positive" rating overall on Steam. Amusingly enough, the most recent review for Bandai's OG action RPG takes a little jab at the sequel while hyping up its predecessor: "Better than Code Vein 2." Whether or not that's an objective fact remains to be seen – after all, the official release is on January 29.
