V Rising (blue collar rising)

 

Killed the same bandits at the same camp 10 times in my three-hour playthrough. Bullshit rising

More like B Rising. As in "blue collar rising," because that's basically the game.

 You're a lumberman, or a stonemason who can't work during the day because you burst into flames, but you can't skip time even when "sleeping," so basically you wait for time to pass so you can chop more wood or dig some minerals.

 Why can't you just buy things? Good question. Why can't you enslave humans to do the dirty job for you, the alleged prince of the night? Because what's cooler than a vamp on a lumberjack shirt!

 Also, the respawn of "v blood" boss enemies is absolute BS, I don't know what the point is as they don't have special drops or anything, and it just feels like you're toiling for nothing. While tracking a certain enemy, I stumbled upon a higher-ranked miniboss and killed it, only for it to respawn again on my way again literally two minutes after.

 Also, the "build your castle" thing? Yeah, more like build your own crappy shack with crumbly palisade walls, there's not even an "add roof" option, you have to use a "mist creator" like a fucking edgelord instead of building a damn roof.
