Vampire®: The Masquerade - Bloodlines™

Let's go with the lightning round! - The main story is compelling enough to want to find out what happens. - The optional side stories involve interesting characters and help build the feel of the world and how it interacts with vampires and other supernatural beings. - Your choice of character history (i.e. clan) and your choices can both affect how characters interact with you, and future options. Your choices have weight; they matter. - I had no issues with the graphics playing for the first time in 2020 and I actually was surprised how well facial expressions helped the feel of conversations. - There will be glitches. Be patient, keep a rotating list of saves in case you have to go back a bit. - The dialogue isn't always the most nuanced; it can be juvenile at times, but I was able to enjoy it anyways. - Combat never felt great to me, but treat it like an action puzzle--you just need to keep trying different approaches until you find one that works--and you'll get through it. - Lots of people online complain about the Warrens. I didn't find it too long or that confusing. Their was a great vision for this game, but the game is lacking polish. Still worth a play-through.

This game was a mess at launch (while still being pretty good), but WESP's unofficial patch fixed basically all of its flaws, making it one of the best action RPGs ever made. Even writing this review makes me want to reinstall it right now, which is a sign of it being a true classic. Get it now! My rating: $30

This Game is one of the best Singleplayer RPGs......install the patches and have fun. A dark and funny story and quest design. I love it

Each clan has its own character, the gameplay is really the masquerade (world is closer to the first edition than the later ones which is a good thing in my book), the music is gorgeous and adds that goth feeling to the world. a must play.

Best Vampire game!
