If you’re looking for a vampire-themed game before the release of Swansong, this one might be worth checking out. It’s also good if you’re bored of Fortnite and Apex Legends and want something with more blood-sucking and superhuman powers to spice up the usual Battle Royale formula. ..
Is Battleborn worth your time? Or is it a new multiplayer title that sucks worse than a vampire who hasn’t had any blood in weeks? ..
The game is called “The Evil Within 2” and it’s set within the same world as the original game, which was released in 2013. This time around, you play as a detective named Sebastian Castellanos who is investigating a series of murders that take place within the walls of an asylum. ..
Developer Sharkmob’s game is a dark and visually interesting gothic backdrop that looks the part. The animation is smooth and fluid, the powers you are given are enjoyable to use, and the Old Town district of Prague (where you currently spend all of your time) is spookily atmospheric.
The upcoming game, Swansong, is not narrative-driven; you should play the original pen and paper board game if you want a deeper examination of the lore that exists within Vampire: The Masquerade. But if you want a simple run and gun shooter with a few deadly abilities thrown into the mix, you won’t mind the thin plot and lack of character development. ..
The game is largely good fun, although it can be a little repetitive.
The game is set in a city and players must use their skills to survive in a dangerous environment. Weapons and abilities can be found throughout the city, which can either help or hinder your chances of success. The game becomes smaller over time, making it more difficult to stay alive.
The game is set in a world where the human race has been wiped out by a virus. You play as one of the last survivors, trying to find and use power-ups to help you survive. Along the way, you’ll team up with other players to take on enemies and bosses.
rooftops are more dangerous than streets because there are more weapon caches up high, and fewer NPCs to attack you if you stumble into the wrong areas ..
In “Bloodborne”, you can use the PlayStation 5’s “R3” button to see things in the game that would otherwise be difficult to see. This is especially helpful for spotting human sacrifices, enemies, or new weapons. The game is dark at times, so this feature is especially helpful in making sure you see what you need to. ..
Your vampire sense is one of your most powerful abilities. Being able to see in the dark and track prey with ease, you are a formidable opponent for any player who has not yet learned how to play the game. Additionally, depending on your vampire class, you have other abilities at your disposal that can help you escape or take down your opponents.
The Brute class has a ‘shockwave’ power that can send enemies flying back, for example, and they are capable of the ‘soaring leap’ power that enables them to traverse long distances. The Vandal class is very similar although they have the ‘earth shock’ power instead of the ‘shockwave’ that has similar results but with different animations.
There are a number of classes with different abilities, so it’s worth exploring the abilities of each when trying to find your particular play style. If playing in a team, of course, it’s important to have a mix of characters, such as one who can act as a tank while another stays back and heals from behind. ..
The developer wants you to spend money on new skins that can be used to customize your characters. Unfortunately, these skins are only cosmetic so buying a new costume for your vampire won’t give you any type of advantage while playing.
In Fortnite, the costumes you can buy are interesting but not that interesting. Sure, they might make your vampire the epitome of cool – a new pair of shades is always a nice touch – but you won’t get jealous when you see what different player characters are wearing. As the game is played in the shadows, you probably won’t notice the outfits other players have kitted their bloodsuckers with anyway.
The game needs more work in terms of its powers and balance. Some players have an advantage in close combat, while others are at a disadvantage. The Prague backdrop is good looking, but more variety and location types are needed to maintain interest. The reliance on guns is a bit of a misstep, as the game would benefit from a few more vampiric abilities for which to take out the enemy.
The game is a lot of fun, even if it’s not yet at the point to suck the life out of its nearest competitors. Over time, I imagine this game will get a lot better. It was released on the PC at the tail-end of 2021 and only recently made its debut on PS5 so the developers probably have ideas for future updates that will make the game even stronger.
If you’re looking for a new Battle Royale game, this one might be worth checking out. It has decent graphics, fun traversal techniques, and some interesting character classes. You should have a good time playing it either solo or with a team of two other players. Soaring through the rooftops at speed and height will never get old and slowdown and bug crashes are rarely an issue (on the PS5, at least). ..
The gunplay in the game is a little boring, and a few more locations would add more visual interest. But other than these slight issues, the game can be recommended. As it’s free-to-play, there’s no harm in giving it a go, unless your partner has kitted out your gaming room with garlic and crucifixes and forbidden you access to your PC or console. ..
