Vampire®: The Masquerade - Bloodlines™

VTM:B remains one of the most memorable and atmospheric RPGs I've had the chance to play. I don't even know where to begin when describing this game. Despite the myriad of bugs and jank (which are fixed by the essential Unofficial Patch by Wesp), it just pulls you in and doesn't let you go. For starters, you'd be remise not to mention the incredibly breathtaking and immersive atmosphere, Every hub has it's own unique feeling, not only due to the bustling NPCs and city design, but especially because of the music and atmosphere. Loved it. I could walk the streets of any of the hubs all night. As for the characters... oh man, the characters. Voice acting like I haven't heard in ages, interesting and intricate characters that I wish I could've spent more time with because they were so intriguing! I don't think there was a single character I didn't care about in some way - I wanted to know everything about everyone I came across. In terms of RPG aspects, the game is impressive even by today's standards. Granted you definitely notice they were forced towards combat-oriented gameplay in the end-game due to time issues... but the multiple ways you can generally finish a quest is fantastic and the game actually rewards you for alternative solutions, not to mention most quests even the side quests are compelling and interesting, you never feel forced to complete them. Not to mention the impressive amount of player freedom granted when undertaking these quests (whether that's to go in guns blazing or sneak/charm your way through situations) The gameplay is very dated, that much must be said, and though combat is janky it isn't as bad as I thought to be honest. In summary: the game is far from perfect, but it will certainly be one of the most memorable RPGs you will ever play.

Great oldschool rpg set in white wolf's universe. No hand holding...

A spooky immersive sim that oozes early 2000's goth aesthetic. Solid RPG mechanics, compelling story beats, and decent amount of replay value.

I had a mixed feeling when started playing this game, but after some time i just can't stop playing it. Would recomend to try this game to everyone.

Having so much fun with this (again)! I played it when it first came out and it is easily one of the top RPGs of all time, Also that the game's bugs have been taken care of by the latest fan patch (that gog has included already installed into the game) . That made this a plug and play experience for my modern PC - which I could not say about the version I bought on steam. For that last bit of customer service I will buy all my future games on gog and plan to revisit Planescape: Torment next!
