...if you have the right expectations of what this game is.
How much you love this game ultimately will vary depending on what you are expecting to get out of it. If you're expecting an immersive world, superb voice acting, well-rendered atmosphere, haunting music, and engaging story, you will be more than satisfied. If you are expecting a fun if not incredibly challenging action RPG, you will also be satisfied.
However, if you are looking for flawless graphics, the most refined combat available, 100s of hours worth of explorable areas, and AAA budget and production, you will likely be frustrated or disappointed. Vampyr is first and foremost a story to be experienced and participated in, and to that end, it knocks it out of the park. As an ARPG, it's only good. Solid for sure, but with some (in my opinion) forgivable flaws. In terms of graphics and gameplay only, there are some stronger options. But those aren't the reasons I bought the game, so I am not disappointed in that regard.
In conclusion, one of the game's stronger points is that it dares to play by slightly different rules than ones dictated by a mass market glutted with linear shooters, mediocre PVP games and battle royale games built around microtransactions, and poorly realized open worlds built for the sake of their own hugeness that are ultimately empty or repetitive. It's a refreshing switch. But while I'm fine spending the money to support games like Vampyr--especially if you get a game as awesome as Vampyr out of it while supporting studios that make interesting games--some people may find the game's shortcomings worth waiting for a price drop. I, however, am already crossing my fingers for a sequel.
