Honestly, I really like Code Vein, most people criticized it due to being an "anime dark souls", and of course not being as good as the former, but I personally think that it was much more.

For me, it was quite a better version of God Eater, I found the setup pretty cool, it behaved like a decent JRPG, having some cool characters and ideas, the story wasn't particularily good, but it had interesting thoughts and touching parts, its also had fun combat and interesting customization, and it had cool mechanics/elements as the character's echoes, which allowed you to wander the character's pasts, althought it felt a little boring after doing it repeatedly.

But most important, this game has one of the best soundtracks in gaming, which is a little sad, cause the game isn't as good as its OST, which is absolutely brilliant and beautiful, I can't explain how much it means to me, the most I could do is using all the OST in my DnD campaign and giving my players the best experience I ever could.
Code Vein it's such a good album that it even comes with a game!
Jokes aside, Go Shina and Jose Delgado are amazing, Bandai should give them more projects and let master Motoi Sakuraba rest, as he has done plenty already, and he isn't as great as he used to be, which is logic, considering his age, I think that these two former composers really envisioned the game as a masterpiece, if not, I can't imagine how they composed something as good.

Overall, it's a cool game, but it had more potential, I hope Bandai Namco makes a sequel!
