Incredible game despite some issues
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is an outstanding game in many ways.
The atmosphere and overall feel of the game is one of its strongest points, offering lots of immersion despite its relatively confined (but well designed) environments.
You are able to choose a character from various clans offering their own bonuses and abilities. Throughout the game, you level up and get new weapons and armor to aid you in your journey. The combat itself is somewhat flawed however, especially ranged combat which can be unreliable at times.
The game has its fair share of issues and bugs, however there are patches which can help alleviate some of these issues.
Characters have a lot of personality and versatility and the story is interesting overall.
