Decent, but way too short
Like it says in the title when you combine Dracula 4 and 5 they make one decent adventure game, but one that falls a little short in more ways than just the length of the game(s). The visuals are nice, however the character animations and lip-syncing are pretty bad. The characters look very stiff and inanimate. The story wasn't very interesting and after Dracula 4 ended in a cliffhanger, the ending of the fifth part kinda goes nowhere and it does not feel rewarding at all. There are some interesting puzzles, however most of the puzzles are more on the easier side and if you are a veteran of the genre I do not think they will provide a sufficient challenge. I wouldn't say that there are any horror elements in the game desipte having "horror" listed in the genre field, I remember while playing the original Dracula I had a constant sense of foreboding. This game is certainly lacking when it comes to atmosphere. The health mechanic feels kind of redundant and in my opinion brings nothing to the game. Like I said the game is rather short, still there are trophies in-game so there is some replay value, I guess. Overall if you can get it on sale you can play through it for a weekend of relative fun.
