As a sequel, Shadows of New York improves on it's predicessor in just about every way. The main character is much more developed, your choices matter, the overarching plot strings together into multiple endings. Like it's predicessor, it tries to tell a mature and contemporary story, often dating itself it it's attempts to seem modern. Here Shadows of New York is much more successful, it's focus on a single character allowing it to get much more personal, making the pop culture references feel for the most part, grounding. While I would highly reccomend this game for any interested in Vampire: The Masquarade, a casual reader should be prepared for a highly social and political experince, with little in the way of high octaine action or over-the-top vampire fights. It's a short read, ~4 hours, and I reccomend multiple playthoughs for a complete experince.
