Review

V Rising is an intriguing blend of survival, crafting, and vampiric lore that thrives on its day and night cycle. As a newly arisen vampire, players are tasked with building their dark empire, avoiding the perilous sunlight, and asserting dominance over both human and supernatural inhabitants. The game's emphasis on crafting and base-building, along with its robust multiplayer modes, offers a compelling experience for those looking to team up with friends or compete against others. However, those who venture alone may find the content slightly lacking, with the game's current iteration seeming to favor group play for the full breadth of what it has to offer. While V Rising teases a vast potential, it still suffers from some balancing issues that can hinder progression and technical glitches that, though not game-breaking, can momentarily pull you out of its enchanting gothic atmosphere.

Background information

Since its early access release, V Rising has captured the attention of gamers, particularly those who enjoy multiplayer and cooperative play. Reviewers have praised its innovative approach to the survival genre with a vampiric twist, citing its crafting and base-building mechanics as standout features. However, there is a consensus about certain imperfections such as balancing and technical issues that need to be addressed. The solo playthrough experience has also been highlighted as an area where the game could expand and improve to provide a richer and more nuanced experience to single players.
