The Blood of Dawnwalker (PS5) review: a compelling vampire RPG

The Blood of Dawnwalker is Rebel Wolves' debut vampire RPG from The Witcher 3 veterans. Set in 14th-century Carpathia, hero Coen has 30 days and nights to save his family from the vampire Brencis. Strong quests and a time-as-currency system are undercut by uneven combat and technical issues on PS5.

• Coen is human by day and vampire by night, with different abilities and routes
• Players get 30 days and nights, with time spent only on quests
• Directional block combat works in duels but breaks down against groups
• Rebel Wolves was founded by The Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz
