Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption

A lot of attention to detail, complicated lore, interesting locations, but a bit wasted on a very plain RPG where you just go and fight monsters. Back in the day, though, a real attempt at genuine innovation.

After I bought this, I couldn't find it in my library. I looked it up in the store and selected the "view in library" option but it wouldn't let me install it

This is a game that has not aged well, but might still be fun for some. While it doesn't suffer from control issues, the point-&-click aspect is undermined by the camera viewing angle set by the mouse and the lack of transparency in some areas with regard to the character position. For example, if an enemy is around the corner shooting arrows at Christof, that enemy can still be obscured by walls or even ceiling until I move the mouse enough to be able to see and click to attack. Also, I encountered many issues in which I could not attack a nearby enemy, or one on stairs at Christof's feet but at a slightly different level (usually lower). The same issue occurred with items. Once I gained a character in my party, that character often got in my way such that I could not attack enemies or pick up items until I moved the camera just right. Many of the reviews here and after this game's original release talk about how the graphics add to the atmospherics. Only one post-release review said the truth, which is that the graphics are actually quite mediocre and non-immersive, especially in outside areas. Finally, despite having upgrade points to spend, I was not able to upgrade my characters at all, and it was unclear why. That said, this seems like it could have been a pretty decent game for its time, in terms of content and character development. It had the potential to be a much better game than it is. I don't think it's worth $6, and I'm definitely glad I got it on sale.

I got 3 editions of this game on cd. I had remember cd key to this game :) For thi days, graphics is pure, but weapons, skills and gameplay is wery good, even when compare with modern games. Flamberg - best weapon :) Recomended to all, who like wampire subject :)
