AWESOME, UNDERRATED GAME! If you like Thief - then this is for you.

Absolutely broken game. The sheer amount of bugs and constant crashing is unbearable (that's the main reason I decided to write this review). The developers were too busy promoting merch for a game that basically nobody even bought instead of actually fixing this broken mess. Boring combat system, the unlockable skills are completely uncreative — you suck more blood, you can disable cameras by shooting them, and so on. The story and characters are forgettable, with only occasional lore drops. And I won't even get into the fact that the absolute majority of characters in the game are non-white and female — both the main characters and the regular generic enemies. It's extremely immersion-breaking. The only thing that still keeps me playing this outrageous piece of ♥♥♥♥ is my fanatical obsession with achievements. To anyone else, I'd strongly recommend staying miles away from this trash.

I like what I played and saw. Didn't progress that far, not for any fault of this game. I have a problem with my Quest 2 VR rig and all VR games: Love the headset and visuals but hate the controls. Even with Blade & Sorcery and other very well liked games I can't grab the handholds in almost all VR games (except Alyx and there that blessed turned by hand wheel made me skip a chapter cause I couldn't do that twice as required, try as I might). I hate VR touch controls, and I think VR would have progressed much farther if when not indispensable, they offered the alternative of using a gamepad or K&M like in excellent Bordelands 2 VR, my favorite VR game.

Titolo interessante ma solo se si accettano dei compromessi. Quello che colpisce subito è l'atmosfera, davvero molto in linea col genere vampiri e affini, supportata da un comparto audio non memorabile ma che comunque incornicia l'intera esperienza e accompagna il giocatore per tutta l'avventura, compreso l'ottimo doppiaggio. Qui il primo punto dolente, manca il doppiaggio in italiano e per godermi il titolo ho dovuto scaricare una Mod che mi consentisse di apprezzare l'ottima trama del gioco, non un capolavoro ma comunque non banale o noiosa. Il gameplay è piacevole esclusivamente se si gioca l'intero titolo in modalità stealth, questo perchè l'intelligenza dei nemici è costruita per obbligare il giocatore ad attaccare solo di spalle o dall'alto. Qualsiasi altra meccanica di combattimento diversa da questa rompe il gioco costringendo il nostro personaggio a tirare pugni sui nemici in maniera quasi comica, se va bene, altrimenti moriremo subito perchè i nemici ci scaricheranno addosso le munizioni delle loro armi. Come dicevo all'inizio il titolo è interessante e si gioca volentieri ma una volta completato difficilmente ci rigiocherete e lo dimenticherete quasi subito ed è un peccato perchè con aggiustamenti sul gameplay e ambienti un po'più vari il titolo ne avrebbe guadagnato diventando un'acquisto obbligato.

wanted to love this and support this from the bottom of my heart but i couldn't even get past half an hour into the game because if it's ATROCIOUS freezing for minutes and minutes on end you're just left standing there in steam vr background for 6 minutes whenever the game decides to load right when you suck someone off or eat a rat or whatever

It could have been a great Dishonored rip off, but the game crashed on me multiple times, The number of bugs break immersion (hands twisting unnaturally, blink not working randomly). Few levels crashed to the point I had to restart them completely, as progression triggers were broken. Twist of the knife where them/they pronouns. I'm a vampire, I'm an IT ffs. Plot is flat, written by a 10 year old. Such a wasted potential. On the plus side, the music is great. Pretty much it. Play only if you get it for free.

Played on Meta Quest 3 via Link cable (which ran into a really prevalent crash-on-launch issue). Let me preface by saying I'm not the most staunch VtM / World of Darkness fan, so I'll skip commenting on the game's faithfulness to the lore in this review. [b]This game is at 64% "Mixed" rating on Steam right now -- I'd really like to give it a yellow Mixed review myself. Alas there isn't such a thing on Steam.[/b] First of all, it's was a massive pain with the issue of constant crashing on attempting to launch the game (UE4 engine error). I could luckily work around it by taking off my headset first and [b]only[/b] launching via my Steam Library page - seems to not work either if I launch via desktop shortcut. This is the first game I've had such an issue on, and I'm absolutely unsure as to what exactly is the cause, but I've not tried playing wirelessly with the Steam Link app. Alas I haven't managed to find a solution online to this problem. Otherwise, I've also encountered gameplay impairing bugs during my playthrough. Equipment count not reverting properly on reload from checkpoint; alert enemies never returning to their previous patrol nor losing their alert level; and some other slightly less annoying problems. Other minor less critical problems (typical jank) are also present: hassle with the hand-gesture UI for selecting ammo-type; Alyx-style hand flick-and-grab not being responsive; weird rubber-banding at times when trying to strafe (I don't know if it's my controller, actually); and so on. [b]However - as a stealth-focused game, I think my biggest gripe is with the game's level layout and enemy placements.[/b] I like a bit of challenge myself, and I can't say there was absolutely zero "skill issue" on my part, but I just feel like the game has way too many sections where enemy patrols overlap, leaving me very minimal space to manuever. It was particularly frustrating earlier on when I was putting in utmost effort to succeed on the missions' side objectives that include Zero Detection and Zero Kills - which led to many, many reload-from-checkpoint. A couple of segments even seemed impossible to get past without running into one or more guards' line-of-sight. Add the bugs with enemy alert states and not responding to thrown objects' noise on top of that, and I had myself many an annoying moment. These issues peeved me off less once I'd resigned to giving up certain side objectives (forgoing their XP rewards) instead of trying to maximize my rewards on each level. On the outdoor traversal sections, the game does provide little nooks and crannies you can explore, but so many of them seem to simply be empty rooms that don't seem have been intended as alternative sneaking passages either. I just feel like they were a distraction and I'd wasted my effort combing through the maze-like flooded Venician back alleys. ...but, despite all these misgivings, at the end of the day I didn't absolutely dread playing through the story and did somewhat enjoy the storyline. I'll leave my review as Positive given the current score the game is at.
