So I never got an opportunity to play this when it came out because I didn't have a PC to play it, and with the announcement of the sequel I decided to grab it while it was on sale. To get it out of the way, the game feels dated by modern first person RPGs when it comes to gameplay, but where it absolutely delivers is in the fantastic writing and dialogue options. From start to finish this game had such strong writing that I ignored whatever minor gameplay issues I had. To clarify, the gameplay feels fine, just old, it's not outstanding and if I had played it at release I might have felt that the gameplay felt just okay, but the gameplay is just the vehicle for you to enjoy this fantastic vampire story, and like your first car it's not your dream car but it will get you from point A to point B. -Fantastic well written characters -While the gameplay does struggle, there are a number of stats for you to invest in to define your character (invest in guns, your life will just be easier that way) -Great soundtrack, especially the songs in the bars and clubs you'll visit I know other players ran into glitches and bugs, I didn't run into any in my 26 hour playthrough and I only had one crash.
