Well most players in this discussion will likely tell you to get this game over the others but if you ask the same on the sekiro discussion, they will you to get sekiro over this one.

Just to make it short:
sekiro - Game is all about deflecting and taking enemies attack head on. Or stealth if you want. (If you want a real challenge in this game, don't use prosthetic. Prosthetic is the main reason why some players find the game really easy.)

Code vein - Similar to soulsbourne with a unique difference being that, lvling up increases ALL stats, npc companions will fight along side you 95% of the game, u could switch class anytime you want in the form of blood code, you could use abilities from other code.

God hand - Have no idea since I have not played it yet.

Before i start giving some Pros/Cons, i dont know God Hand 3 so i cant rank that one.

Sekiro Pros:
-Nonlinearity
-pretty deep Story/Lore
-multipli endings
-nice Map/Area layouts/design which add to the Story/Lore a lot
-combat (from very aggresive to sneaky peaky)
-Super Voice Actors/Actresses
-most of the time, what you see, you can also reach
(meaning you see a Mountain Temple, you can go there)

Inbetween both:
-music
-that you could get lost at times

Sekiro Cons:
-stealth can be tricky at times
-you need to look out what you skill
-your prosthetic tools arent needed really, only a few are very helpful
-some of the same Bosses you can find again, in some other Area's but those are there because of Lore

Code Vein Pros:
-Character Creation, customize your own character
-Super Voice Actors/Actresses
-deep Story/Lore (But only if you really go into it meaning doing 100%)
-multipli endings
-Map/Boss refferences to other Games
-Map/Area are simple but based on given Lore/Story
-Mia :heartmia:
-Hot Spring (Meaning a lot of Women and Men in bath Towels)
-The Whole Blood Code thing, you can customize it to a point where it fits your needs in Combat.

Inbetween both:
-music
-combat
(because you really need to learn how it works to have fun with it and it can be to easy at points)

Code Vein Cons:
-Coop sucks because it doesnt let you interact with NPCs and is only helpful for helping with Bosses and such
-only a few Weapons
-not much Blood Veils (think of it as Amour)
-more to be added, doesnt come up with something.

Personally i would recommend Sekiro first because as for Story and Lore, where it plays, the design, .. is just <3

Terribly sorry, I meant GOD EATER 3 ! oops. Is it any good?
All I know it's a Monster Hunter-Style game (I only MHW beta, and I'm not a fan of the MMO-ish combat and feel)

ohh God Eater 3, phew didnt played it yet but can tell it will take hours, also its fun and i should say that there are Rumors which say that an God Eater 3 Update comes out the same time as an Code Vein one. (And there is a Theory that Code Vein is in the God Eater Universim, i mean it even looks similar)

As for Pros and Cons all from what i seen in Videos
Pros:
-Combat (fast and interesting)
-some customization
-mods which seem to be quite funny
-multiplayer fun
Cons:
-the grindyness (if you can call it that way)

Sekiro is more hardcore and solid game. Code Vein is less challenging and more fun, more anime design. God Eater 3 is another type of game, more like Monster Hunter. It's considered in the same universe as Code Vein, but it's not so important.

If you like Dark Souls series, you must check out Sekiro and try Code Vein also. If you're new to this series, Code Vein is easier way to start, and I highly recommend Dark Souls 1 and 3, and then 2.

Get Sekiro if you want a great combat oriented action game. You don't find new weapons or armor, so you just focus on combat. There are some tools you can use too, but the main focus is on the combat. I just picked up Code Vein and it's pretty good, but nowhere near the level of Sekiro. Code Vein is much more focused on story and build variety. So if you're into customizing builds and experimenting with different types of attacks and magic I would go with Code Vein. CV is also much easier (so far) and you can make some OP builds. I haven't played God Eater and don't have any interest in that game.

This is my Opinion in each games.

Sekiro-Sekiro is all about blocking, stealth and having different types of playstyle for different opponent as it gets harder like deflecting alot for aggressive opponent or using prosthetic tools to gain abit of an advantage.

God Eater 3-God Eater 3 I wouldn't call it a souls-like game as it basically a level is quite partial-open for combat objectives to fight strong creature called Aragami as the level is basically wiping out all important aragami in the level before transporting back to the lobby to choose another mission which is the objective is all the same, just killing all the aragami the objective shows and then move on to the next one.

Code Vein-Code Vein is obviously like what some said "Anime-Souls" as it is like Dark Souls but in Anime format. Players is allow to customize their avater and then get to upgrade weapons and etc. Blood Codes are classes for Players to choose for their type of playstyle as each class has different spells called Blood gifts and they are like I guess from Stats temporary boost, Range specific spells to Assisting in Search for items and enemies.

I love this game, But this game is not even finished in my opinion, the character creator REALLY lacks and the fact that the protagonist doesnt have a voice but other characters act like they do really hurts the immersion.

Sekiro On the other hand is a finished game and it has a great story and yeah... i hate to say it. But this game isnt worth buying in its current state.
Goilveig Nov 29, 2019 @ 9:36pm 
I've played them all and I'd recommend each of them depending on what you like.

Difficulty: Sekiro is by far the hardest of the three, so if you're looking for something controller-throwingly hard, then Sekiro is the one. The other two are pretty comparable IMO, and while there are some challenging parts to each, neither is nearly as frustrating as Sekiro can be.

Combat: Sekiro's combat takes a while to get into, but it's heavily focused on parrying, countering, managing poise, and knowing when to press the enemy and when not to. Sekiro has only a single primary weapon, with the ability to equip and use prosthetic skills in combat. Code Vein, in addition to your basic attacks / dodge / block, features 8 active and 4 passive "skill slots", which you can customize as you master the many "classes" the game has. GE3 has less move set customization, where you mainly get a move set based on your weapon with some limited ability to customize.

Gameplay Loop: Sekiro's main gameplay loop is basically a Zelda game - you collect specific upgrades and equipment at certain points in progression, which are often used to gate access to other areas or upgrades. GE3 is basically a Monster Hunter gameplay loop, in which you get materials by hunting specific enemies and craft new weapons and shields with them. Code Vein is more RPG-like, where you can level and gain experience with class skills to master them (where you can use the skill even if you change to a different "class").

World: Sekiro and Code Vein are both pseudo-open-world, where the game is broken into distinct zones with a small number of places that connect one zone to another. GE3 maps all take place on small zones, isolated from the larger world. GE3 is very simplistic and repetitive in terms of the zones you fight in. Code Vein and Sekiro do a lot better at making more complex and interesting maps.

Aesthetics: Sekiro is a gritty fantasy Japan setting. GE3 is a giant weapon anime fight, and Code Vein is more of a gothic anime aesthetic.

Story and storytelling: Sekiro has a decent story, told in a somewhat minimalistic style (not as minimal as Dark Souls, but it won't hold your hand and tie all the pieces together for you). Code Vein also has a good story, and has a very different style - there are tons of cut scenes and exposition, and you'll see backstories (presented as memory fragments) for many characters, including a number of the game's bosses. The backstories of many of the characters, your protagonist included, are deeply interconnected. A lot of Code Vein's storytelling is you as the player piecing stories together from various memories. God Eater is similar in storytelling style to Code Vein, although not as heavy on cutscenes and backstory.

Characters: Sekiro has a quite small cast of characters, but each is pretty well-done. Only a couple, however, show any significant character growth or development over the game. Code Vein has a larger cast of characters, and a lot of "gray-and-gray" moral choices that they've had to make while struggling to survive - even many of the antagonists' motives are often at least something you can understand and relate to, even if you disagree with them. God Eater 3 has a decent group of characters and some character development, but there are a lot fewer of the really difficult moral dilemmas that Code Vein's characters have had to struggle with. God Eater characters tend to be more black-and-white in terms of their morality.

...is this a joke or have you not beaten the game lol??

Between God Eater 3 and Code Vein, if you like fighting lots of bosses and farming/grinding go for God Eater. If you like to explore a decently sized world, get knocked off a cliff, ambushed, and die many times, go for Code Vein.
SlackerSupreme Nov 30, 2019 @ 3:41am 
Personally i wouldn't recommend Sekiro at all UNLESS you have no problems with being locked to the same weapon through out the whole game, that the game is basically all about deflecting enemies, guarded treasures is unrewarding and something that usually just gather dust in your inventory. When it comes to soulsborne or soulslike games i prefer to have the option to make builds that suits my playstyle or be able to replay the game with a different kind of build/playstyle.

I quit Sekiro since for me it lacked replay value since the gameplay is always focused on deflect.
If you have no issues with that i'd say Sekiro> the rest.
But if you want to be able to play a game with the option to create builds that fit your playstyle I'd say Code vein since i haven't played God Eater. Code vein will also have 3 dlc releases early next year if you liked the game, sekiro afaik have no dlc/expansion announcements but it is a complete game and good in it's own right was just not for me since it felt repetitive.
