Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

PC (Microsoft Windows) • 2007

Should you play it?

Vampire®: The Masquerade-Bloodlines™ delivers a new type of RPG experience-one that blends all the core elements of a traditional RPG with the graphical richness, immediacy and brutal combat of a first-person action game. The game plunges players into the dark and gritty vampire underworld of modern-day L.A. as a creature of the night.

What works

  • Distinct vampire clans with unique abilities
  • High replayability with multiple endings
  • Rich atmospheric world and music
  • Meaningful player choice and roleplaying

Things to keep in mind

  • Technical bugs and glitches at release
  • Dated graphics and clunky combat
  • Mandatory unofficial patch for playability
  • Late game combat sections can be tedious
  • Limited character appearance customization
