[h3] I'm currently doing a challenge to play through a free game in every single category on steam. I then give an honest review using ChatGPT. [/h3] Game: 75 / 447 [b] Category: Cinematic [/b] "Great Concept, Horrible Execution" The idea of a vampire trying to survive during the day while feeding on humans to stay alive has so much potential, but unfortunately, the execution is a disaster. It feels like someone cranked up hyperrealism to an absurd level, only to deliver a potato-quality game. The animations are stiff and awkward, the game is choppy, and it wraps up in about 20 seconds—seriously, it’s that short. To top it off, the voice acting is cringeworthy and adds nothing to the experience. It’s a shame because the concept could’ve been really engaging, but this is a prime example of style over substance gone terribly wrong. Save yourself the frustration and pass on this one.
Игра Bloodlust – это кровавый аттракцион, который затягивает с головой. С первых минут погружаешься в мир, где единственное правило – выживание. Боевая система динамичная и жестокая, каждый удар, каждый блок ощущаются очень реалистично. Графика, хоть и не самая современная, создает мрачную и гнетущую атмосферу, которая идеально подходит для такого жанра. Враги разнообразны и представляют собой настоящую угрозу, заставляя постоянно быть начеку. Исследование мира награждает интересными находками и открывает новые пути. Главное – не бояться запачкать руки, ведь здесь без этого никак. Отличный выбор для любителей хардкорных экшенов с элементами RPG.

Jogo horrível, mal otimizado. Péssima jogabilidade, 1 único objetivo, andar em linha reta chupando sangue dos pobres transeuntes! Não recomendo!
This is a great concept. Stick to the shadows avoid (tropey) vampire weaknesses and drink from humans for more health. Unfortunately the thats where the brilliance ends with hammy voice acting, fixed camera and the jankiest attack motions ive seen in a while. The graphics look good except for the characters for some reason. I could imagine an assassins creed-esque mechanic system where you could climb buildings and drink blood unawares with silent attacks. Throw in some vampire hunters and maybe some werewolves and this concept could be realised to the fullest. Unfortunately this demo doesnt even meet the five minute mark for a review and is a concept that will never be realised.
Runs my GPU hot for not looking that good. Kinda stupid camera. Voice actor wants to suck my blood and maybe more (no thank you sir)
Какая-то странная, кривая, косая игра про вампира. Графика мыльная, анимация бесконтактного боя это кончено нечто. Интерфейс конечно лучше сделан чем из гайдов "как создать игру за 2 часа", но и не настолько чтобы игру можно было бы похвалить. Очень много вопросов к проекту и так мало ответов. Честно мне не понравилось, хотя я хотел дать игре шанс попробовать меня удивить, но к сожалению не могу рекомендовать.
это че ваще было?
Yes.

simple game, but if they worked more on it i can see potential, also otimization is not the actual forte here, but overall they did a good job
