This game is almost as good as sex.
This game is an outstanding expirience on so many levels. The story starts in a pretty unusuall way, when your protagonsit get turned into a vampire. You will be almoust immideatly thrown into the wild swirl of underworld politics and intrigues. I will not spoil any further, because in this game story is really full of suprises and twists. Depending on what clan you'll pick for your hero, different characters will treat you a bit diffrently, some times the entire game can change because of your new nature - either in terms of dialogue or gameplay. Speaking of gameplay - VtMB offers a specter of different weapons and supernatural powers wich you can combine in order to achieve your goal. Game truly gives you different ways to complite your task. Characters and dialogs are astonishing, writing is clever and voice acting is superb - seriously, I can count the games with such fleshed-out characters using one hand. There is always a down side - on release game was full of bugs and many of them are still in the game, despite of the comunity efforts, some of them are game-breaking. Balance in the game is also quite weird and really leans towards the combat approach (that's fine because it's still an action-rpg, but some people can find it a bit dissapointing). But everything I've said before doesn't really matter. You can't judge games like this using standart approach, every part of it is working on atmosphere. Graphics can be a bit dated and locations are small, but it still gives you such a feeling of presence in urban jungles, that puts to shame some games dedicated to wast open cities (hello, deus ex: md and watch dogs). The game that makes you feel like a part of nocturnal brotherhood in city of angels. The game that changed my mind on how cool vampires can be. The outstanding masterpiece.
