Vampire®: The Masquerade - Bloodlines™

This game is a mixed bag, I think-- it's good to go in understanding its limitations and not expecting an amazing gaming experience. Of course, make sure to get the unofficial patch, which fixes a bunch of problems with the base game. On the plus side, the game offers classes that are truly distinctive from one another and that fundamentally alter how you play the game. Particularly in the early portions, the world is extremely dynamic and open. There are some exceptional early areas. The story is solid if unspectacular. However, I found combat clunky and sometimes grind-y, and unfortunately the latter half of the game is much more combat-focused and less open (I assume this is because the developers were running out of money). So, worth checking out, but temper your expectations.

STOP. No, YOU stop. STOP. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! 10/10. Played on released on a WalMart brand $600 PC. Good times.

Easily my favorite game of all time.

The ending sucks. The ending is rushed and feels like a total different game. The game ends poorly and it is anticlimatic. But the rest is AMAZING. This is probably THE BEST rpg ever. It mixes the old school feeling of those Infinity Engine rpg, but with a FPS camera and Source engine. You really feel your choices and consequences of your actions. It is a masterpiece, buy it.

This was the first source powered game that was released the same day as Halflife2 .It has bugs but it is real atmosphere and a great story with many interesting characters. Worth getting but do download the unofficial patch to iron out the release bugs. V glad its on GOG.
