US EditionCode Vein 2 is everything I could’ve wanted from a sequel as a fan of the original game — except its dismal console performance
Code Vein 2 enhances character customization and gameplay systems but suffers from poor PlayStation 5 performance, often dropping below 30 frames per second in large outdoor areas.
- This year, Code Vein 2 launches on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, praised for vast improvements but criticized for framerate drops below 30 fps on consoles.
- The Blood Code overhaul lets players experiment with build templates without tedious stat reallocations, while partners can be chosen at Mistle or assimilated into Jail for stat boosts and tactical use.
- My playthrough lasted around 42 hours with a near 100% completion run while fully upgrading weapons, Blood Codes, and Jails despite performance struggles below 30 frames per second in large outdoor environments.
- The reviewer says poor performance frequently prevented full enjoyment of an otherwise brilliant game, while players will likely breeze through three-quarters of the game before facing gatekeeper bosses and a late-game difficulty spike.
- The game's replay systems offer strong value, with the reviewer nearly completing a 100% run in around 42 hours and planning a New Game Plus when the planned DLC arrives later this year.
