Gameplay

198 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall, V Rising is one of the best vampire survival ARPGs out there (not like there are too many vampire survivals tho), but it’s also a game that keeps you playing for its constant progression and loses the player once you reach the end.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
134 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's a large variety of weapons, and they all perform differently, and have their own special moves/attacks.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Beyond the combat, there’s an abundance of playtime: sprawling crafting trees, extensive base customization, world events, and PvP/coop dynamics create endless goals to pursue.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it

64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
We played on the hardest difficulty, and I have to say that the boss fights themselves are well balanced, at least on paper.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style, animations, lighting, and effects all work together to create a dark, gothic world that truly feels hostile and alive for your vampires.
