The old foggy streets of London are infamously appealing for serial killers since the days of Jack The Ripper. The roads wind and end unexpectedly, the gaslights cast long impossible shadows and there’s the unmistakable sense of danger around every corner. But as you walk down these streets in Vampyr, you are not the victim of the story.

Vampyr, in a single sentence, is an action RPG with a heavy focus on NPCs. You play as Jonathan Reid, a brilliant doctor doomed to immortality during a terrible outbreak of the Spanish Flu. While the graphics aren’t great, at least on the base PlayStation 4 console, the atmosphere is just stellar. There is a palpable menace throughout London, even the textures pop in and out and the lines on objects blur a little. The map is small but detailed, and darkly delightful to explore. To be created on a such a budget means sacrificing a few things, so although the graphics aren’t as sharp as they could be, I personally wouldn’t have wanted them improved.
