Approx length: HowLongToBeat says about 50 hours, and my initial playthrough was about that length too.
Where to find it: It's available for the Playstation 4, XBox One, and Steam.
What is it, in summary?: Code Vein is a post-apocalyptic action RPG, and a rather difficult one at that, and while it takes place in the same universe as the God Eater series, you don't need to be familiar with God Eater to enjoy Code Vein. You play as an amnesic protagonist who bands with other revenants - humans who died and were revived as immortal vampiric beings - to battle the monstrous Lost and find a way to survive in a dying world.
The gameplay is difficult and the action bloody and frenetic, and there's a high emphasis on exploration. You can also have a companion join you during exploration, and each companion has their own strength and weaknesses depending on your playstyle. My personal favorite companion is Io, because I have a thing for mysterious white-haired anime girls; like the protagonist, she remembers little of her past and strives to learn more about the purpose of her existence. As mentioned above, being a Souls-like game, it's a rather difficult game, and there is a demo available if you want to get a feel for the difficulty yourself.
