Feb. 2025

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is a difficult game to review in 2025. The game is very, very dated. It absolutely needs the Unofficial Patch to even be playable. Usually that's enough for me to apply the thumbs down for any game. But I'll make an exception here because where this game doesn't suck, it's incredible. Taking a leaf from contemporaries like Deus Ex, this action RPG grabs you with the excellent recreation of the tabletop vampire abilities you'll be used to if you played the pen and paper RPG, with the fan favourite clans from Ventrue to Brujah available for players. As well as all the crazy abilities, like domination and mind control all the way to making people's blood boil until they explode. It's also let down by the combat which comes across as unpolished, although in 2004, there wasn't a lot to compare to. TTK ranges from way too long to instakill and it's balanced rather poorly. However what drives this game is world class narrative combined with meaningful choices that impact all the way through the game, just like with Deus Ex, you get that whole vibe... what you do in this game and the way you do it has consequences, and it makes it all the more immersive and enjoyable. It's also something developers rarely manage to grasp... I can't think of many examples beyond Baldur's Gate 3 where such excellent game design philosophy has been so successfully applied. If you can pick this up for $5 or less, and you like retro gaming, and can handle the dated, rough edges, this is worth a play-through.

It's the modding community that keeps this cult classic fresh and alive. Thanks guys! 👍 Happy 20th, Bloodlines!

There is only one kind of people that won't like VTMB after it is properly patched with the Unofficial Patch: people who skip all the dialogues in games and just want to fight. If that's your case, sure. This is not for you, play Bayonetta, Devil May Cry or a more modern RPG instead. If you're not that person, however... oh, boy, are you in for a treat! The story, the characters, the ambiance, the music, the choices, Bloodlines is simply amazing at storytelling. You'll feel there and feel that the you're interacting with believable and complex people with all the NPCs. Most missions can also be completed by multiple means, be it fighting, sneaking, or talking your way through, which gives it a lot of flexibility, and the few ones that didn't give you much choice at launch have alternative fan-made shortcuts if you go for the "Plus" version of the patch that work perfectly well. That also gives the game A LOT of replay value. After completing it and falling in love with it with your first vampire clan, you'll be curious about how things could've been if you made different choices and played in a different style and you'll certainly want to go for another run with a different clan. Malkavian and Nosferatu clans also make the game completely different by themselves, giving you fresh and unique experiences. Just to give you an example of all that, I have played VTMB for 130 hours and there's STILL things I haven't done in it. To put it simply, then, this game is awesome and you SHOULD give it a try. Just make sure you use the Unofficial Patch. It's free, very easy to install and the only thing you really need to get to be able to experience this so called "flawed masterpiece". Enjoy!

This is the worst good game ever made. If you ask literally any fan of the game they will talk your ear off about at least five parts of the game that makes them cringe. If you push the game in any direction it falls apart. Every mod has an option to skip the Warrens because it's the worst dungeon ever put in an RPG. There's at least three parts of the game where you're railroaded into making stupid idiot choices no sane person would ever pick. I will love this game forever.

June 2024

Legend goes that every time one mentions, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, there's at least one person out there that will reinstall it. The first time I have played this game was back in 2004 when it was released. It was by far one of the most buggiest gaming experiences I was ever graced with. It had abysmal performance, tons of bugs, including game breaking ones; it took around 10-15 min to load the larger levels on my 256 MB RAM rig. But, it was all worth it, to be able to: - listen to The Deb of Night - take a leisurely stroll through the Ocean House Hotel and experience one of the best horror segments in video game history - have a conversation with my TV - have an argument with a STOP sign - joke around with Smiling Jack - try to reconcile 2 former assassins and friends, who now want to kill each other - listen to Alistair Grout's journal, a paranoid Malkavian with the eloquence of Oliver Goldsmith - experience some amazing quests with top-notch writing and stellar voice acting - and most importantly, Play one of the BEST RPGs of All Time And these days, it's even better, with the Unofficial Patch by Wesp5, which has been a labor of love for almost 20 years.
