(that is a plus vote from the cat on this game too) No need to evict the cat from your lap or search for something flat to put the mouse on.
It was a wonderful thing to lay back on my sofa, cat beside me and just play some Victor Vran.
#VICTOR VRAN REDDIT PS4#
Usually, when you take a game like this from mouse and keyboard to a controller you lose a certain something, you have to redesign UI’s but having played both the pc version and the ps4 version I can safely say that the control pad support felt spot on. Any items acquired in the DLC can, of course, be used in the core game (I am rather fond of the Demon Power Bombing run from the motorhead DLC) Your character persists regardless of what ever DLC you play and you can change from DLC to core game at any point on the main menu via "change world". It was not so hard as to make it impossible but it certainly is a challenge! The game does warn you that this is high level DLC for level 20 or higher (I was level 14) While the core game seems very balanced to your level, I quickly discovered that Fractured worlds is a lot less forgiving. However, I did like that there was new weapons (guitars) and new overdrive skills to earn in this and that may be what makes me return to that DLC.įractured Worlds: This offers random dungeons (4 which change every day and one that is limitless). Motorhead DLC: I have not put much time into this as, to be honest, it was not as refined as the main game, the sense of humour seemed gone. The overkill edition comes with two DLC packs, one based on a rock band called Motorhead and the other, I have yet to have a chance to play. I look forward to uncovering more of his origin and connection to Victor as I play the main game. There is a disembodied character in the main game that goes by the apt name "The Voice" he is your constant companion and Victor (or Vicky to the voice) does not really seem too fussed or surprised about this. So what sets this aside from the likes of Diablo or the many many clones out there? Well for a start you are not restricted to whatever class you picked when you created your character, hold a shotgun and you have shotgun moves, hold a hammer and you get hammer moves etc. Victor Vran is an action RPG, a genre that includes Diablo 3 (a game that has eaten way more hours of my life then I care to admit) To your question of comparison: Highly recommend Grim Dawn, do not recommend Van Helsing at all, and can't offer insight into Victor Vran because I'm too busy with Grim Dawn.Continuing my ps4 game reviews on Reddit is: Victor Vran: Overkill edition (ps4) Whereas D3 is only playable with a pre-defined set of gear which determines the playstyle and PoE revolves around ladder pushing through a very strong metagame, GD just wants to be played. Some things fall off later (usually in lategame Ultimate, the third and highest difficulty, though I can't personally testify to that because I have yet to get a character over 80), but having the freedom to at least try without the game shoehorning you into one of a handful of builds is a great experience in character creation. I got sidetracked and have been meaning to give it another go, but whenever I want to play an ARPG I remember one of my dozens of builds I'm currently working on in Grim Dawn and feel like I'll get to Vran "later" once I'm "done" with everything there is to explore in GD, but coming up on 500 hours and with another expansion slated for later this year, I don't think that's going to be any time soon.Įveryone wants different things, but for me GD is the best iteration of the ARPG experience there is for one simple reason: you can make a build around basically anything in the game and it will work reasonably well. You choose between a few different weapons and skills to determine your playstyle, but you're ultimately always going to be playing through Victor's story as Victor, and I'm doubtful I would be able to play it multiple times just to see the other skills. Victor Vran is a better experience with much more theoretical replayability due to its mechanics and build customization options, but I'd call it more of a hack'n'slash than an ARPG. It plays like a single-player campaign with a thin veneer of ARPG mechanics with no interest in being a full-fledged ARPG. I'd rate the replayability very, very low and the complexity/interest of skills as below par for ARPGs. The other skills were not interesting enough to bother using and the game was not interesting enough to bother playing again to try the other class. I played a rifle build and all I ended up doing was left clicking through the game. Helsing was very shallow in build creation and skill use.
I have all three (if you're referring to the first Van Helsing title) and for comparison I put 12.5 hours into Helsing, 2.5 hours into Vran, and 483 hours into Grim Dawn (so far). Different games entirely, and it depends on what you want out of your ARPGs.
