    I am not one of those bigger gaming websites no 2-minute reviews here only details. Videogame reviews all the time. So if you are tired of short reviews, ones that don't discuss all the games, this is the right place. No big website 2-minute stuff here.
    Coverage includes ps4, PS5, XBox series X, Xbox one, pc, Xbox 360, Wii, Wiiu, Switch, and digital storefronts like Steam, as well as companies like Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo
    Buy, wait for a sale, rent, or never touch it. The Patented Karak review system to see if a game is worth a buy upon release.
    Integrity Statement*
    Any game code supplied by PR/Dev is purchased again upon its release and given away to Patrons. No game is reviewed for free and no sponsorships for game reviews taken. My money is on the

I mean, I'm no Werewolf: Apocalypse expert, but I don't think there's a Werewolf 'Masquerade' like there is for the Vampires.

      Unfortunately these types of games and genres aren't money printing factories because they aren't mainstream, so AAA companies never invest in them. Its a vicious circle though. If an AAA company did invest, and did ensure it was an amazing game, interest by the "normal" gamer would increase.
      I just hope that the Devs and investors behind Vampire Masquerade 2 get their arses in gear, the demo they showed off looked rough, and fans have been looking forward to this sequel forever.

      @dawidpotega882 3 роки тому +2

      @@dejanstarwars10 it is a good story written game. It has RPG elements but lacks the main think of an RPG. Decisions. There are decisions in the game that bear consequences but in the end, they are not so significant just a matter of who will die or not. The ending could be better, but I Am just a romantic and I really wanted to see that romance going. The evil ending is well done I guess. But overall the evil route is not that good although I haven't played it for the whole game so I can't tell how can you mess the whole game up. There isn't really a good drive for the MC to be evil too. The game should have forced you to be evil and only by being a strong and good player, you should be able to resist it because being a vampire ain't easy. Instead of the game just proposes you more exp for eating people, but your hunger and blood should more affect you. Nonetheless, the Universum is good and I really hope we see Vampyr 2 or another vampire title in the same theme. The dark atmosphere is one of the best I've ever seen in the game. If it was with AAA game budget then goddammit that game would easily rival Witcher 3, RDR2, and God of War if it wasn't so empty on the street and better kick off to encourage players to keep playing. For me, it was dialogues that put me off. They are good for someone who wants to immerse themselves but they can be so boring, lacks movement, and that weird way of looking at each other.
      In the end, it's still the best vampire experience out there, I would rate the game at high 7/10 but 9/10 story and 10/10 immersive dark theme. The locations may be small and limiting but damn are they beautiful.
