Elden Ring vs Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines
Elden Ring
Elden Ring is another souls-like adventure created by the masters of dark fantasy and extremely difficult games, FromSoftware. Instead of a restrictive world, you’ll be treated to a vast expanse full of explorable open fields and massive dungeons. As the Tarnished, a character you can fully customize, you’ll fight all manner of enemies, from wyverns and armored knights to gigantic, grotesque beings straight out of a dark fantasy novel. You can play according to your preferred playstyle; do so by combining the game’s massive roster of weapons, armor, and magic so you can create the type of warrior you want, whether you’re aiming for a close-quarters combatant or a spell user.The game features an epic, multilayered story told in fragments. Its lore was made with inputs from renowned A Song of Ice and Fire creator George R.R. Martin, guaranteeing that every castle you explore, enemy you encounter, and dungeon you conquer will yield a rich backstory. Elden Ring also features an asynchronous online element, along with its direct multiplayer, where you can explore its world with friends and fellow Tarnished.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines offers a pretty unique, story-driven, first-person action RPG, partly because it features the exciting theme of vampires - who doesn't love them? - that is set in modern-day Los Angeles; and partly because you get to play as a vampire who has an incredible range of vampiric abilities and special weapons yourself! The cast of characters in this game is pretty amazing and well-fleshed out too.Not many players would know about this but Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is actually based on White Wolf's popular Vampire: The Masquerade pen-and-paper RPG series. So, although this game might be old, you can still be sure to have an amazing time due to the rich and immersive storyline that it is sure to have!
However, if you do plan on getting the game, be sure to grab the unofficial patch and maybe some mods to fix some of the more glaring issues, along with the rather aging graphics, just so you'd have an even better time playing the game.
