So we find out jonathan reed the main char is a doctor and a vampire who killed his sister and because of this we can cure people.

Curing people makes their blood better along with talking and finding out all the spoilers, but there is not much in terms of downsides really to killing so far, and the game very much encourages you to kill to increase your strength, because you are vastly underpowered when dealing with enemies, leading to a lot of anger and frustration, as new areas have enemies who are vastly overpowered compared to you.

The dialogue is very samey and so far options for powers are super limited, unlike vampire the masquerade which gives you far more options to mess with and playstyles.

The music and scene is quite nice and The cutscenes are quite good, but due to linearity, i think there is not much reason to ever replay this game again.

Also i know not everyone has this issue, but this game crashes a lot, and i mean A LOT.

When you walk from one large area to the next, due to the area not loading properly, it causes the game to either freeze or crash due to you going faster than the came loads, and when you die which you will, because the game will often pit you against enemies who are far higher level than you, you will have a loading screen that lasts 30 seconds, which if you die multiple times, is quite a long one

The combat: The combat is god awfull maybe not as bad, i'd put it at level of double dragon 3 level bad at least, which is really awful.You are supposed to be a awesome powerful guy, but the guys is weaker than every enemy in existence, and don't give me LOL l2P, because even in bloodborne, you at least have good controls and power, but here you are so weak and enemies take forever to kill and they can kill you in 2 hits. I'd say the combat feels like its there as a niche filler to make it a videogame and a afterthought that wasn't properly thought out. Level 5 weapons with the right level should allow you to kill enemies properly, but in the current system of the way it is, even with the story, i cannot recommend it.

I'm giving this game a 4 out of 10. It could have been a great game, its a shame its filled with broken clunky combat
