The most memorable game, vampire related or no, that I've played in a very long time. Exceedingly well written, the dialogue feels nuanced, logical, as if you're interacting with real vampire people instead of fake vampire, cardboard cutout NPCs. The vampire characters are an excellent aspect of the game, voice acted by veterans such as John DiMaggio (Jake the Dog, Adventure Time) or Phil Lamarr (Vamp, Metal Gear Solid 2). In Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, you are a fledgeling vampire illegally fed upon and turned into a vampire. The vampire FBI kicks down your motel room door and violently cockblocks you. Pick from 7 classes of varying degrees of vampire. Put experience points into your vampire skills, make vampire choices that matter in the vampire story. The open vampire world sections you're given to explore feel like a seedy corner of vampire town, and you're free to pursue side quests, uncover story bits and detail, or seduce local thots in the vampire club to refill your blood, thus having the resources needed to experiment with vampire blood magic.
A few of the levels stood out to me, including the infamous Ocean House level, Alistair Grout's disorienting and unsettling labyrinthian vampire mansion, or a macabre vampire house with furniture lovingly crafted with human viscera, gore, and bone. The only downside (if you're a massive dork) is the vampire game is glitchy as ♥♥♥♥. 11/10 vampires

I've never been so excited to commit mass roboticide!

Insane abstract story, tight controls, challenging gameplay, replayability. 10/10

Fantastic turn based shooter with a great story, characters, and atmosphere. 9/10

This would be a fun game... if the main love interest was likeable at all. She even posts ♥♥♥♥♥♥ lyrics in her in-game bio. Coldplay and snow patrol. Oh Boy. I assume the creator of the game really took a girl not liking him (le friendzoning) really hard. Poor guy.

Game of the year for 10 years and still going strong
