Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong is a game with complex and well-crafted environments, a compelling story, engaging characters, and well-implemented role-playing mechanics. Swansong is a truly innovative game that no fan of story-driven games should miss. Some aspects could and should have been better, such as facial animation, but there’s no denying that Big Bad Wolf did a great job of making not only one of the best Vampire: Masquerade games, but also one of the best story-driven games of recent times. years.

Swansong is this year’s Dire Maul, a unique adventure that takes full advantage of the studio’s capabilities. Player choice is at the forefront, and it’s nice to see how much weight it has in the development of the story. I’ve rarely played games where I wanted to restart a chapter to fix bad decisions, like here. Swansong makes you pay for your missteps and is sure to be a great game to discuss with others who have played it.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong is a brilliant adaptation of the themes and atmosphere of the pen and paper RPG game of the same name. The mixture of adventure movie and light RPG works great, and Big Bad Wolf Studio brings a fresh “RPG” concept to the video game. It is a pity that the game sometimes does not live up to its own ambitions.

To be invited into such an exclusive circle of characters in Swansong is a truly enticing proposition – I can’t deny it’s exciting, bordering on tabloid curiosity, interacting with disgustingly powerful characters, discovering their dirtiest secrets, or scheming with the Prince of Boston. But the most interesting thing about Swansong is that all this politicking is portrayed as a layering of talk and slander.

If you are very interested in a mystery vampire game with good moments, Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong can provide it for you. It falters here and there, but for now at least it satisfies my desire for a vampire story.

Those who enjoy this type of mystery game might like Swansong, but I can’t imagine them going back to the title after it’s over, or maybe the game gets new blood.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong offers an impressively flexible story, but that can’t save it from the usual script and fragmented game design.
