In Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 players start as a “Thin-blooded” born out of a Mass Embrace: the creation of a horde of new vampires that is considered highly illegal in the Vampire Community. A war is brewing between the different Vampire clans. To survive, you’ll choose a clan and try to navigate your new Undead life in a world which will react to every choice you make, but you’ll have to be mindful of your surroundings at all times, or you will run the risk of breaking the Masquerade. The Masquerade is a code of conduct that vampires must follow to prevent exposing their existence to humanity. Even though you are a vampire, you still look normal enough to pass as human while in public.

As you can imagine, blood is a resource that you’ll constantly need to keep track of, because it will power your various abilities. This even comes into play by the type of human blood you feed on as it is filled with resonance. Feeding on a specific type of blood for too long will have you favor a particular type, opening up access to certain skills. Resonance makes the act of choosing your victims more diverse and feeds back into the all-important progression loop. Each person will have a certain aura, a color wrapping around them (and their delicious blood) to indicate what their current emotional state is – red for anger, violet for fear, yellow for desire and so on.

The game takes place years after the events of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines and is set in a new city for the series: Seattle, Washington. Its modern-gothic aesthetic creates a dreary yet vibrant world perfect for the game. You will explore iconic locations like Pioneer Square, Pier 55, and other areas of downtown Seattle, following leads into the city’s underground ruins. These sections are said to be inspired by the real-life locations that were paved over after the intense fires happening during 1889, and the ruins house a number secrets of the lost history of Seattle, and how vampires played a part in it.

While it doesn't quite match the deep RPG layers of the original, the modern combat and dark Seattle atmosphere hold the game together. It's worth a look for fans of the vampire genre.

Like the first installment, Bloodlines 2 also focuses on vampire intrigue and conspiracy behind the scenes, as well as confrontation and competition between various powerful vampire clans. Players will once again be given the opportunity to choose their clan - the vampires of each clan have access to unique abilities and skills, so choosing your alliance should be wise. I played the first part with great pleasure. If the atmosphere remains the same, it will be a great game!
