I found V Rising to be a surprisingly good game. Why surprising? Well, I wasn't expecting much. I never heard of Stunlock Studios before, and only bought it because it was going cheap and a friend recommended it (for the base building). The graphics are the first thing that struck me. They're pretty simple, but the style the devs used is very effective and the result looks stunning. The appearance of this game will age well. The combat is a lot of fun. There's a large variety of weapons, and they all perform differently, and have their own special moves/attacks. Initially this can be overwhelming, but as you learn what each weapon does then it becomes obvious that the range and versatility means you can take many approaches to combat. There's something for everyone here. Combat is expanded by the huge number of spells which also have many different effects. Both weapons and spells can be modified and tailored to your liking. Several sets of armour are available at each tier, catering for various styles of play (tank, mobility, magic), along with a range of buffs (via potions, elixirs, and "blood types"). It's a comprehensive and well balanced system. When it comes to fighting bosses and combat in general, some of the bosses and packs of mobs roam around. This can be used to your advantage if you engineer a situation where you kite a boss into a bad situation, but sometimes you might get ambushed by mobs or even another boss. Personally I found this highly entertaining, and spent hours stalking bosses who might otherwise be too difficult, waiting for a scenario that could swing the battle my way. If fighting where you may be interrupted then it pays to be aware of your surroundings. Base building is straightforward yet impressive. You can build a massive castle without much effort, and the range of devices and decorations is vast. If you enjoy pottering around with bases then there's a lot to keep you occupied, but if you just want something quick and easy then the V Rising provides that too. The game loop revolves around killing (about 65) bosses to unlock more machines, abilities, weapons, etc, and exploring the large map to obtain the resources to make what you need. There's a good variety of zones, and plenty of places to explore, from wealthy cities to creepy forests. Travel is interesting given you can shapeshift into many different forms, and horses can be ridden (and trained/improved). You can obtain servants to help you gather resources as the game progresses, so you're spending more time fighting and exploring rather than having to farm materials. Optimisation is good, and with all settings maxed playing at 4k/120Hz my rig (RTX 4090/7800X3D) was barely tested. I imagine players with older machines can expect decent performance given how well the game ran on my machine. I did not purchase the DLC as it's strictly cosmetic, and there are so many options with the base game that I didn't feel the need. Although it was nice to know that sections of the game aren't gated behind DLC. I felt that this was a fair and responsible approach to DLC, and appreciate the devs' attitude with respect to this often problematic area. Basically if you like this kind of game (beating bosses to progress, experimenting with combat, exploring, and base building), then you're likely to enjoy V Rising. The game looks great, plays great, and there's a lot to keep you busy. The whole package comes across as very polished. I literally don't have a bad thing to say about the game, which is unusual, as I'm a pretty picky gamer and it doesn't take much to set me off. I'll definitely be checking out what Stunlock Studios come up with next.

Game is great, lots of content, you can be a rat and prank peasants with bowl cuts It is a complete, finished game with a lot of things to do; if anyone tells you it's "abandoned," then they don't know what that word means, and they need to stop thinking of everything like a perpetual live service game

I thought V Rising was a fantasy game. But apparently it's just my daily routine. Sunlight? Avoid. Go outside? No thanks. Active at night? Yes. This game didn’t let me roleplay a vampire. It just confirmed that I already am one. 10/10 Most relatable game I've ever played!

You wake up naked in a crypt, immediately allergic to daylight, and within an hour you’re committing home invasion on a lumberjack to steal his blood type like some kind of gothic mosquito. V Rising in a nutshell: Be vampire Punch bear Drink construction worker Build evil Pinterest castle Get emotionally attached to crafting stations The gameplay loop is illegal levels of addictive. You go out saying “I’ll just get some copper.” Three hours later you’re: - redesigning your castle foyer - hunting a boss for a hat you don’t need - reorganizing your prison so the 100% scholar blood guy has better vibes Combat? Surprisingly tight on both K&M and controller. Nothing like getting vaporized by a nun with a flamethrower to remind you you’re just an undead raccoon in a cape. Base building? Dangerous. You start with “small twigs shack” and end with “Welcome to Castle Overcompensation, please admire the symmetrical torture wing.” Also: The sun is your real nemesis Trees are the second That one patrol that always catches you at 3% HP is third Multiplayer ranges from: “Let’s cooperate, fellow creatures of the night” to “Your castle location offends me. Prepare to evaporate.” And you get cool powers. Blood lasers. Purple chaos meteor shower. Undead armies. Storms. Ice beams. Just play it, fools.

Played this in early access a few years ago and had a great time, but there were a few issues. Playing through it again I noticed that many problems I had were fixed and several quality of life features were added to make it even more enjoyable (Base moving, better menus, and more balanced weapons). I just beat the game on Brutal difficulty, getting all achievements in the process, and can now say for certain that V Rising was worth my time and money. If you like RPG's, souls-likes, survival games, and vampires (or even just one of those) you will have a lot of fun. Note: I'm a solo PVE player, so I can't speak on COOP or PvP.
