Loved this game and streaming was a lot of fun too! If you want to have a look, here's the video with my first video:
Stream + gameplay

However, for those who prefer written I'll go into some details here.

The game itself has a fun, if repetative combat style, though not as mindless as Assassin's Creed. You have multiple ways of attacking either with vampire powers, firearms, weapons and so on, but some creatures and people are resistant to different kinds of damage .

Then there's the feeding where you can devour a population and then that whole place will enter chaos. The problem is when the health gets too low, the people cannot be spoken to and will either appear as an enemy or just be dead. Eitherway, you can't get the XP you may have gotten if you instead, got to know them and then drink their blood.

It also makes you feel somewhat bad as when you do it, you hear them cry out their last thoughts as you take their lives, often cursing you, lamenting their life or thinking about their loved ones and how they may eventually die without them or never get to see them ever again.

Both endings are interesting with whatever path you take of either being a murderer or resisting the urge to kill anyone. Plus I'm a sucker of vampires so I love playing as the blood-sucker who is attempting some normalcy after being turned against your will or perhaps you decide to embrace the darkness. I was surprised to find the darker path led to a final boss who was much more powerful than I thought, so don't think of yourself as getting too powerful to beat the final boss. Especially with how tough they are.

My second playthrough was murder based
