Another game that you may know DONTNOD from is Remember Me, which was a lot more action orientated than Life is Strange, and has undoubtedly been learned from in the development of Vampyr, especially in regards to the combat.
”I believe that when we went to the fighting and combat of Vampyr – because we knew that the hero would have to fight back against those who want to hunt him down, we carefully looked at how the fights in Remember Me were created, what were the core mechanics and what we could learn from them to improve the process. Most importantly, the fighting system in Remember Me was directly linked to the fact that Nilin was slowly remembering what she could do because everything was about memory."
”In Vampyr it is very different, you are now a vampire who has supernatural powers, so we had to create a fighting system that would make the player feel like they actually have a lot of power. You can decide to play as a shadow vampire: discreet and stealthy. You can play as a instinct vampire: much more brutal. Or as a blood vampire, who tried to take control of the blood of his enemies to enhance his own abilities. So the combat in Vampyr is much more RPG oriented, to provide the player with many different abilities and skills, and let them decide what kind of vampire they will be."
