Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption

A prequel to Bloodlines, Redemption is a dungeon-crawler with more emphasis on combat than its famous sequel.

Flows

• Great atmosphere, at least up to the point I played. Characters are all talking in old English, which is just a delight.
  
• A simple but enjoyable tale of the protagonist, cursed to be a vampire, trying to regain his humanity so he can be with a nun he fell in love with, while gothic intrigue is going all around and everyone is preparing for the apocalypse.
  
• First-Person view available.
  

Flaws

• The game is an RPG that does not explain what its stats do, AT ALL. Spoilers: Wit is probably the most important stat in the game, but f@ck me if I could guess that without looking it up online. You also won't be getting any explanations as for what your scrolls do either.
  
• And on that note: Get weapons with high accuracy bonus, or you will be suffering for no reason. Also raise dexterity so your accuracy increases from that as well.
  
• No button remapping option.
  
• Feeding as a vampire is basically a stunlock you can do on any single humanoid target, slowly (painfully so) draining their health away while filling your mana (blood). This is way too effective not to be abused, so basically you'll be kiting your enemies to isolation, then just stunlocking them and reading doujins or something while your characters are taking their sweet time feeding.
  
• You would think that it is therefore a great idea to have each of your party members stunlock and drain an enemy like that, but the AI controls all party members not directly under your control, and it immediately chooses to cease the feeding. In general the AI is borderline retarded, and it is a real shame that you cannot afford to leave your companions at the start of the dungeon so they will not get in your way...
  
• Especially because of the (completely ret@rded) vampire rage meter. Basically when taking damage or being targeted by some specific spells, your vampires get a certain meter filled. When it reaches 100%, you lose control of those party members, which start attacking incredibly slow (basically becoming useless) OR they turn to feed on the nearest humanoid possible... Usually you. So not only do your party members not help you, they actively stunlock your character until the rage effect ends. This is cancer of the highest capacity when enemy mages summon aoe mists that deal damage over time, or while enemy adds just swarm your character (also bodyblocking the path towards enemy casters).
  
• Certain enemies are just cancer. Golems/elementals have low accuracy but their damage output is plain stupid. My tank character basically could die in 2-3 hits by an elemental randomly summoned from summoning circles (aka a random mob).
  
• The AI uses its skills randomly. It DOESN'T know to heal itself when its health drops.
  
• No Quick-Save button. You have to open the menu every single time.
  
• The mapping is more or less terrible. Navigating yourself is exceedingly difficult in many areas, including the very starting area of the game.
  
• The camera is your greatest foe.
  
• The graphics just haven't aged all that great.
  
[*]Dialogue options make no difference beyond the immediate next few lines. The story is linnear.

I eternally love Vampire: The Masquerade since it first came out with Redemption.
I still own the physical copy of it but wanted to also purchase the digital version to support the companies that put this masterpiece into motion.
Beckett has always been my favorite character in the series and I'm especially fond of Bloodlines (which he stemmed from I believe) but the characters in Redemption also have so much depth to them as well and I have a special nostalgia for it.

I swear if anything bad happens to Beckett in Bloodlines 2 I will not play it. Just a side note.

I'm kind of stupid so the early game is hard as an be... But it's pretty fun, and the story is great, and once I get out of these mines I'm really gonna be cooking with gas.
