I was caught a little off guard when Code Vein 2 was first announced, but not in a bad way. The original launched in an era where games influenced by Dark Souls were fewer in number, blending the boundaries between FromSoftware's creations and more traditional anime RPGs. Six years on, competition among the best soulslikes has ramped up dramatically. Yet I still find myself with a lingering affinity for the name, and while Code Vein 2 doesn't dramatically change the formula from the first entry, it builds on its strengths in almost every way. The result is an evolution fans will appreciate, while its all-new world and story means you don't need to be acquainted with the first to enjoy what it has to offer.Read the full story on PCGamesN: Code Vein 2 is largely more of the same despite its story reset, but I think I'm okay with that
