Great AA Game

I really enjoyed this game. The voice acting and characters were fantastic, and so was the setting. Yes it isn't a AAA game, but they did brilliantly with the money they had. Recommend for people who are into RPG's and story driven games.

My kind of singleplayer experience!

Simply love the story. The freedom this game affords you in its world and the story pacing is very much to my liking. Picked it up on a sale and it was so worth every penny, however at full price it may have been another story. I am a sucker for stories like this and the lore behind it. I love the powers this game affords you.

So much potential, be better as a film

(NOTE: Based on experience with the PS4 version. I will not comment on technical glitches as that may differ on the PC version) The game starts off with the right mood. You are a fledgling vampire, trying to make sense of what on Earth is going on around you. London feels dark and foreboding. Then... you eventually encounter combat for the first time. "That's... it?", I thought, as I emerged victorious in a completely uninteresting fight. And thus begins the theme of the game. The atmosphere of the world, the graphics, the characters, the story... all are decently compelling. In fact, if this game were a movie, it could be a memorable vampire thriller. The thought of a surgeon, a man of science, coming to grips with the supernatural is enticing, for sure. However, the gameplay just falls absolutely flat. For one, the combat is just a chore. While occasional enjoyment can be found in whooping ass, combat is extremely unresponsive and your character will either feel grossly underpowered or stupidly overpowered. Enemies have a tendency to float across the ground to grab you from afar; guns go right through walls so don't bother with cover. Enemies only become more annoying as the game goes on, especially in tight spaces. To advance your character, you spend XP like many RPGs. However, combat gives you a laughably small amount of XP: to the point of making difficult fights pointless. This tempts you to "embrace" friendly NPCs for a massive XP boost. Alternatively, you can *make everyone as sick as possible so you can get credit for healing them.* Healing the sick rewards tons of XP. It is truly more perverse than simply sucking blood. Still, crafting medicine is a chore as ingredients can be hard to find. The world building and characters are compelling with excellent voice acting. Shame about everything else. Unless you want to tough out dull, frustrating gameplay for the story, feel free to skip this one.

Good game, but...

Story and gameplay are very well worked out. The atmosphere is great and I love the characters. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of fine-tuning: Many opponents are "overpowered." Whitechapel doesn't look like the original Whitechapel. Switching weapons is also not explained - something like a brief explanation is missing in the game. But many characters are not properly worked out, there is a lack of soul and too many questions remain open for me.
