  I'm just waiting for the reviews to see if it's another Redfall

    From the gameplay footage, it looks like a studio that’s only ever made walking simulators before is making their take on Dishonored. Maybe that’ll be pretty good, but I’d be surprised. What it certainly isn’t is an RPG that’s anything like Bloodlines 1, lol.

      That’s largely what the pre release reviewers said, too. It’s light on RPG elements but feels like Dishonored. They didn’t say it was bad, just unexpected and a different kind of game than the first.

        It’s just wild to me that a game straight out of a TTRPG is “light on RPG elements”.

        Like, what’s left of Vampire without the RPG elements?

        I was expecting an (action-oriented) RPG and it’s a stealth game instead 🫤 I’m gonna “wish-unlist” it 😞

    If you’ve played the first game, watch their video demo of some gameplay. They’re just not even similar. It’s bold to call this a sequel for how little they have in common.

      I love VTMB, but the gameplay was never the highlight, it was always the writing. If the story and characters are well written and it ties into VTMB1 somehow, I’ll consider the title justified. The writing is a pretty high bar, though.

        I don’t consider it so much as the combat should be better or the writing should be good, but the fact that it’s just a very different style of game altogether. There will be nothing like the character sheet from the first game in this new one, I’ll wager, nor the RPG mechanics that go along with that. Making that kind of game is even further outside the wheelhouse of the developer making this new one, so it would be an even taller order. It’s not often that a sequel to a game changes genre or subgenre, but it’s not usually a welcome change. There was only one game in the Zelda series like Zelda II, after all.
