![]() Before each match, there's a fully realized hub world players can explore. While this easily could have been "by-the-numbers battle royale but with vampires" instead feels like the battle royale aspect is a pivotal piece of a bigger puzzle. Even though Prague is presented as one big area, each section carries its own flavor with secrets to be discovered and firefights taking new forms in every cramped alley or wide-open intersection. Scaling a wall to get to a rooftop is seamless, and the chaos on the buildings feels refreshingly different from the anarchy plaguing the streets. There's never been a more blissfully chaotic feeling than frantically sprinting down a street-a shot or two away from defeat-while above your head another heated confrontation rages between two or more people with gunfire serving as the surrounding soundtrack. It comes out of the gate swinging with distinctive visuals as players rip and tear through the murky, dark streets and rooftops of Prague. Despite the tough competition it faces, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt successfully stands above the others as a battle royale newcomer. This battle royale game breathes new life (or unlife) into the genre though its fast paced gameplay, atmospheric visuals, and tight controls. The game's also based off a long-running tabletop game, which has influenced other video games and a TV show. There's a Battle Pass and in-game economy where players can purchase a wide array of cosmetic items and adjustments, but outside of a select few "rare" items, everything can be bought through playing the game and gaining in-game currency without having to pay real money. While there aren't audible curse words, the lore and story-contained within menus players can read in the hub world before a match begins-have instances of cursing, from "damn" and "ass" to "f-k" and "s-t." With war and survival being prominent themes of the game, there's little room for positive messages or themes. Players can also go after civilians, drinking their blood to restore their health or gain boosts to their abilities. Bloodshed comes in many forms, be it shooting or beating other players to death, or breaking the necks of other vampires and drinking their blood in a gruesome display. As the centerpiece of the game is war and survival, violence is highlighted in the form of guns, melee weapons (axes, bats, and swords), and unique vampiric powers. Vampirekind has been terribly compromised, and it's up to the player to choose one of the various factions, go into battle with other vampires looking to protect their own, and ultimately come out on top as the sole survivor to give your faction a chance at survival. Parents need to know that Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt is a downloadable multiplayer/co-op battle royale game available for PlayStation 5 and Windows.
