I recently played Code Vein and absolutely loved it. The unique blend of anime aesthetics, challenging combat, and deep character customization really drew me in. Before that, I was a big fan of the Dark Souls series, which I know Code Vein takes some inspiration from. I’m now on the lookout for other games that offer a similar experience. Any recommendations for games with a similar style, difficulty, or vibe? I’d love to hear your suggestions

Looks like it resembles Final Fantasy XV. If you’re into Code Vein, you will also love Final Fantasy XV
Nier Replicant is hitting PS4 soon. I haven’t played it yet, but it’s Nier, so I’m in! Loved Automata, so I’ll definitely give it a try.
Final Fantasy XV also fits that vibe well if you haven’t played it yet. I thought it was pretty solid. The XIII trilogy might be worth a shot too, the storyline in Lightning Returns always gets me emotional.
And like another commenter mentioned, the Kingdom Hearts series is full of melodrama.
