Great story driven and atmospheric RPG
I just finished the game with the community plus patch. The game surprised me by how much it pulled me into its story and setting. I didn't know much about the” Vampire the Masquerade” world before playing the game, and I was intrigued by how dark and mature the environment and tone were. I really liked the modern setting, especially how all of the computers actually required you to type out commands to interact with them. The voice acting was great and the graphics looked quite good after applying the modern display resolution patch. The dark and neon heavy environment design likely helped cover up some of the aging spots.
I only ran into one quest bug in the game out of the entire 36 hours I put into it, and that was only a small side quest that I was able to finish after looking it up online. Though I can’t say as much for the general jankiness of the physics system that often made traversing debris covered areas aggravating, especially in stealth mode. The combat is probably the weakest part of the game, but after you get use to the melee combat and understand some of its quirks it can actually feel quite satisfying.
I highly recommend it to someone who likes story driven, dialogue heavy, and dark atmospheric RPGs. The game is starting to get a little old, but the steam version ran great (with the community patch) on my Win 7 64-bit computer.
