My detailed review about The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing

Graphic 7/10

+polyphonic style
+beautifully designed environments
+some wonderfully bizarre Monster Design

-weak effects
-here and there ugly textures
-from nearby, low-detail figures

Sound 8/10

+atmospheric music
+first class speakers...

-...but only in English
-unspectacular sounds of battle

Balance 9/10

+four levels of difficulty
+rarely unfair
+fair fined for deaths
+Hardcore mode

-Boss fights are generally too simple

Atmosphere 10/10

+unconsumed scenario with influences from horror and steampunk (what I really like)
+entertaining dialogues
+funny minor character

Gameplay 9/10

+classic hack'n'slay control
+Customizable Buttons
+clearly arranged inventory

-only two active skills can be used at the same time

Extent 5/10

+huge game world
+12 hours campaign
+Co-op

-less replayability
-no randomly generated areas
-Co-op Mode does not work for me

Level Design 9/10

+many secrets and allusions
+sympathetic protagonists
+Boss Monsters with Trophies rewards
+rare, but entertaining tower defense game

-boring collection quests

Character System 9/10

+free development of the Van Helsing Junior and Catharina
+Power Ups for each skill
+unlockable bonuses by high fame
+Tricks and auras

-No different classes without DLC

Combat System 7/10

+Enemies and Bosses with their own strengths
+Catharina got three fighting styles
+Focus on melee and ranged combat

-weak Feedback result
-often unclear fights

Items 7/10

+lots of magical weapons and armor
+legendary items
+Appreciation by essences
+Enchant of Items

-low optical diversity in equipment
-only three types of weapons
-no special items for Catharina

All in all this is a great game to play and if you like Diablo and other hack'n'slay's,than this is the perfect game for u. I also recommend the other games of the Van Helsing series. (maybe the Co-Op will work for you)

If you have any suggestions to improve the review let me know, and if you find any grammatical mistakes let me know too. Im not that good in english.

Points 80/100
