Vampire®: The Masquerade - Bloodlines™

Despite its bugs the game is simply amazing. This is a testament to the things it does right. - Great story - Amazing characters - Interesting environments - Fantastic setting - Great conversation system I highly recommend this to any RPG fans as it does character roleplaying extremely well through its conversation system and different solutions to missions.

I absolutely love this game. Yes, it's clunky and junky at times, but if you look in, you will see the masterpiece behind this game. Absolutely one of my favorite games of all times and one that i will never get tired of.

This RPG is insanely good. I am baffled that I only discovered this series in 2020, it is a true gem! I played it in one sitting (during the weekend), as the story and character progression had me hooked. The various vampire factions, and how they come into conflict is so immersive. The writers have done such amazing work in their approach to the vampire genre.

This is an RPG based on the White Wolf pen and paper game called Vampire the Masquerade. If you haven't checked it out yet you should. As for the game, while it can be buggy at times the writing and story are the best I've ever had the pleasure to experience in a game. That may sound a little dramatic but believe me it's the truth. If you like an immersive game then this game is for you. Super high replay value, depending on what clan you decide to play as it could drastically alter your game play experience. The npc's feel fleshed out and all have different personalities and objectives. Every level is memorable and does NOT feel generic in any way. Also the soundtrack is AMAZING, really one of the best things about the game and it really enhances the atmosphere. Through and through this is an actual role-play game where you genuinely feel like you're playing the role. This is my favorite game of all time and I wanted to play through it one more time before Bloodlines II releases later this year. *crossing my fingers nothing delays the release* If you like, you can watch my playthrough here: https://youtu.be/U9K3-xEvaEo

The game has all the features from a really good RPG that's story-driven with many side quests. The skill tree is somewhat different from your usual fantasy or futuristic RPG, but this Vampire system is really clever. Graphics are somewhat dated but nevertheless beautiful. The explorable hubs are big but not Fallout or GTA-like huge, and there are many scene transitions. Some issues plague the game however, like clunky movement, bad AI, some bugs, combat exploits and some frustrating boss fights, combat or stealth missions. Some dialog options shouldn't appear at certain points, while some dialog options that would improve immersion and choice are missing. Get it at sale price as a really nice story-driven RPG but don't expect much from combat and take the game's age into account before being too critical of it.
