First of all, you are aware that this is a 20 year old game right? If you're expecting modern graphics, modern gameplay and and modern anything then obviously you're not going to like this game. This was made back when games were sold physically. That meant that this had to be a full package. When you hop in the game, there is no handholding whatsoever, no in-game tutorial or handholding. Why is that? Because as I mentioned the game was meant to be sold as a physical copy. It comes with a manual! (Its in the game directory, along with some wallpapers and avatars) So yes, you're gonna have to read the manual. Trust me its worth the read! Not only does the manual teach you about the game, but it also comes with a series of short stories and comics to give you some backstory on your character as well as the world they inhabit. Gameplay The game might seem pretty straight forward. Go to the objective. Cutscene. Attack enemies until they die. Rinse and repeat. But if you look at your character screen you will notice there is an insane amount of skills and stats. All those come into play. How would you know this? BY READING THE MANUAL! Seriously. Read it. Graphics Its a 20 year old game. I don't know what you're expecting. BUT! There are some grahipcal mods out there to pretty up the game that are faily easy to install. By fairly easy, I mean you download it and copy paste it into the game directory. If you don't know how to do that, then I don't know what to tell you. I don't even know how you managed to find your way here to read my review since it takes more computer literacy to get to this review section. Sound The voice acting is hilarious. All I have to say is "NAY! NAAAAYYYY!!" You'll laugh when you get there too. All in all Is it a perfect game? lol no, hell no. But is it one of the better games of its era. Absoloutely! If you're into Vampire The Masquerade, this is a must play.
Lets be real here, you're locked at home and there are no new games coming out. You're gonna play this, look at the graphics and be doubtful about it. Then look at the clock and realize its been 3 hours since you told yourself that "eh the graphics tho."
