Much like Dontnod's debut Remember Me, Vampyr is a gorgeous-looking game that's let down by a set of deeper flaws. There are a lot of unique ideas here but more-than-a-few lackluster executions.To be honest, there's a part of me that feels like the atmosp...
Abstract: 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 and...
