Creepy Atmosphere

User Rating: 8.9 | Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines PC
Vampires. Demons. Ghostly apparations. There are a lot of things that make this game great for people that like these kinds of things. You can create your vampire with different clans, these clans determine how you play the game. Different clans change the way you will look, and the way you will play through, using the skills you're able to learn. For example, the Gangrel clan is known for their shapeshifting forms. You're able to turn your eyes red, allowing you to see in the dark, change your hands into claws, turn into a bestial form and so on. Others include the Nosferatu clan, which has vampires so hideous, they are forced to live in the shadows, and in the sewers. Direct communication to humans isn't a good thing for them.

The graphics in this game are very nice. The spells being cast, the creepy atmosphere, the living breathing environment around you make this more fun and should get you hooked pretty quickly.

Guns don't do as much damage as they should. This game mostly focuses on the melee and spellcasting parts of gameplay. That doesn't mean guns are useless, though. They're good for long range when hiding in a high place, and stuff like that.

Another great thing is how well it's all put together. You can change the storyline just by choosing different options when talking to people. Such things like the ability to choose whether or not to go get an item for somebody so they will give something in return, or just kill them and get that item they have. With the different storyline paths, this game has a good replayability for playing through a second or third time to find out what would happen if you did this or that, changing around the storyline a bit.

So in conclusion, this game is a good choice to try out if you are debating on whether or not to do so. If you're into the classic hack and slash RPG games, this may not be the game for you. But if you're looking for something a little more like Deus Ex (better than Deus Ex in my opinion) this is a game worth trying out.
