Remember - wherever we go, it is the blood of Caine which makes our fate.
Farewell, Vampire.

Really surprised how good this game is really! Honestly, this game is a GD good RPG. The main quest is excellent, very well done and the characters are well developed for a game of the time. If you want to play a game in the VTM universe, this is the one that is the most faithful. There is a goth punk atmosphere which gives a nostalgic tone of the 2000s which in my opinion makes the game better. I laughed and was surprised several times while playing. It's true that the combat mechanics have aged, but remain very playable. Dark wave and industrial music truly embrace the vampire universe. It's truly better than our music on the radio today.
Hoping that Bloodline 2 will be at the same level, but I'd be surprised.

Cult and classic

P.S I strongly recommend playing this game with up-to-date patches.

Great story but horrendous combat and not playable without a patch from the community

Game doesn't run. Just spits out "Available memory is less than 15mb". Buy the game on GOG instead.

My Steam time says 5 minutes but I played with the Unofficial Patch which does not log playtime. I would say my first play through was around 30-40 hours.

Every quest in this game is memorable. The hub environments allows for more contained storytelling than most open world games. You meet some freaking freaks in this game. Customization and item options are lacking but it makes up with deep build variety and strong quests. You meet a 7/11 cashier who sells you weapons. Also this is the only game where you will probably be happy finding rats in a sewer.

The game has a well known development cycle that did not go well but this game's vision shines through its faults. Worth playing around Halloween time especially.

it's funny you gotta install a mod just to run the game, but it's EASILY one of the best written western rpg and it's so tightly paced too. gonna play more, just don't know when :/

Yes

Great game and wonderful vampire lore that ties into the old show.

One of the most unique and aesthetic settings in a videogame, it's pretty janky by today's standards but is worth playing just to immerse yourself in a world unlike any other.
