Gotta be honest, when I first saw the game I thought it was gonna be a fun game, but then I actually played it.... I liked the story (somewhat but I do consider it neat) and the atmosphere, but it's the gameplay that's really dragging the game down. As someone has stated, the concept for a timed game with escort missions where you have to travel back to the beginning is a horrible idea, especially when the NPCs can …

⚠️ Warning! OG Player I came back to this masterpiece after 22 years from its release just to experience it one more time. This might turn into a long review, but hear me out. Nosferatu: Wrath of Malachi was the first horror game I ever played, about 16 years ago, and honestly, this masterpiece helped shape who I am today. People might say “it’s just a game”, but for me it’s a part of my childhood, a part of my …

My cousin tricked me into playing this game when I was a kid, and I shat my soul out. Years later I randomly found it again and dove in like I had no traumatic history with it. Took me about 4.5 hours to beat it, and only minor emotional damage this time. Also its different from other survival horror games Ive played for sure like, the story and gameplay really stand out. It ended up being an unique experience. Also …

A really janky but surprisingly a pretty fun time. Atmosphere is well done, the environments being this Gothic horror with mythical beasts is really cool and interesting as they work nicely as the enemy roster. Massive downside would be the family AI's pathing, feels very similar to Dead Rising 1 where they get stuck easy, never/barely follow orders and just die most of the time which either fails the mission or you …

It feels like a classic horror movie turned into an FPS. It may be old, simple, and a little clunky, but its lack of polish only makes the castle seem even more sinister.

neutral · AI labelView post →To add to my thoughts on The Substance, "neo-expressionism" sometimes comes up in stylized films like Barbie or Nosferatu that have an exaggerated sense of reality. When I see discourse on "photorealism" in videogames, I think of how attempts to stylize or exaggerate reality in game goes unnoticed.

neutral · AI labelView post →VtM: Bloodlines is unfinished and janky (there are community patches), but what is there is an astounding RPG experience - solidly written, interesting story, remarkable freedom and a game that is meaningfully different depending on the clan you choose (Malkavian and Nosferatu especially).

neutral · AI labelView post →Such a hidden gem, it's almost like a rouglike where you fight Dracula in order to save your family from certain death. It's such an impressive game for the time, that still holds up today. You will get it for dirt cheap, so buying it is an obvious choice.

For bloodlines, I played and enjoyed Kiasyd, Vollgirre, and Samedi. Yes, I like the weird ones. The first time I played VTM was 1st edition, again at revised. I started getting interested in VTM again after reading all my clanbooks during the pandemic, then bought V5 and V20 books. I still haven't found people to play with... but it's still nice to read, right?

neutral · AI labelView post →Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi is a unique entry in the survival horror genre that blends atmospheric storytelling with procedural gameplay elements, creating a chilling experience steeped in Gothic horror. Originally released in the early 2000s and later made available on Steam, the game stands out for its eerie setting, tense combat, and a distinctive approach to replayability that keeps players on edge throughout multiple playthroughs. Though it’s a product of its time and may show some…
