Despite praising its originality, Andy said Vampyr "tries to do too much at once and suffers for it". To this end, the action role-player's incoming Story mode might help it refocus as it "de-emphasizes combat", allowing for more exploration. 

Alongside a host of optimisation tweaks, publisher Focus Home says Vampyr's Story mode "places a greater focus on narrative, allowing players to experience Dr. Reid’s journey with less challenging combat." All of which should make wandering around its atmospheric, early 20th century London streets more endearing.
