Dec. 2024

It sure has it's flaws (graphics, mechanics). I went into this expecting a well told story and the game delivered 100 % on that. All the main characters are different and engaging. Don't mind the negative reviews, many of them are just from right wing idiots review-bombing the game. I encourage you to give it a try if you want to immerse yourself in the Vampire world a bit.

Aug. 2024

Personally I never encountered many bugs. And that's coming from someone who did a full playthrough on Linux, which is known for having quirks of its own. A desk drawer got stuck one time and the werewolf glitched in one spot, but apart from that, it was perfectly fine. Apart from textures loading in on the first visit to the Camarilla court, I never encountered them. I loved the story, the architecture and the puzzle aspects. Especially the architecture. If I ever build something one day, I'm taking references from this game. While some complained about characters not being that expressive, I see it as being pretty faithful to the lore in that sense. The vast majority of the people you meet in game are vampires. They're immortal undead killing machines. They all have their own agenda's. Everyone is putting up some form of a facade, and their schemes last for centuries, even millenia. And that's without factoring in the blush of life or other things like that. Anyone who lives that long is going to learn how to hide their true intentions from being written on their face. I would have liked more ways to restore willpower than obscure trinkets hidden in dark corners as in some scenes I was left scrambling for points to spend instead of navigating the story via intuition like I prefer to. Blood however always seemed to be in plentiful supply and I never truly felt that I didn't have enough.

July 2024

I believe this game is heavily underrated. Which is a shame, WoD lore has great potential and every game is like Christmas that happens once in 5-10 years. And still people kinda complaining, that every single one could be better. Kind reminder: this game created by relatively small indie studio. Yes, the first hour of the game is an introduction check, if you would like it or not. I needed some time to get used to the graphics and slow pace of narration. But further you go more you get involved into characters´ stories and their relationships. And it gets more interesting. Game is great story-wise and mechanics explanation-wise. It presented very well and even if you are not a complete nerd and know nothing about WoD or VtM you would understand what is what and why. The design is very stylish and characters look reaaal nice. Also I´ve been lucky, that one of my favorite clans is in the main trio of characters. Malkavian :). That is a cherry on top for me. If you are into narration and more detective-like games, this one is for you. If you played "Council", you know what to expect. It is not Bloodlines-like type of a game and never intended to be that way. Enjoy, and let the blood lead you to your destiny :).

April 2024

While I understand some of the criticism it receives, Swansong is a good game and should have rated better than it did. There's an actually good VtM plot that doesn't fall into the usual "Neonate with way too much freedom" trope. Following the plot requires you to actually think and connects the dot by yourself - it's more of a Detective game with skill points than a RPG or a telltale-like. Good stuff. I would however agree that it is technically flawed and that the UI is confusing and requires some getting used to. The main issue I have with the game is that the RPG system misses as much as it hits, with redundant skills of unequal use and some moment becoming frustrating when you end up being walled from some story beat because of you invested in the wrong diplomacy skill out of the available 4. If you can ignore the above (which can be easy if you're ok with either using a guide, replaying the game, or just do as you please and check out what you missed afterwards), this is still one of the best Vampire game we got.

April 2024

Dunno why the score is MIXED. The Replayability is insane, the story is interesting, unpredictable, and deep. Choices do follow you through the entire game, and the amount of hidden secrets to discover is impressive. I might prefer it even over bloodlines. It's like a detective game mixed with THE WOLF AMONG US in the Vampire The Masquerade universe. Waiting for bloodlines 2 to eventually be released this year.
