An engaging experience to sink one’s teeth into, Swansong may have its faults, but it offers a blood-curdling plot and amazing characters that simply can’t be found anywhere else.

Critic Reviews
Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong
It’s a little rough around the edges, but Swansong can still satisfy your craving for a vampire narrative RPG set in the World of Darkness.
80%Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong
Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong should have been fantastic, but it wasn't. It has some excellent characters and an array of interesting missions. Somehow, though, it still falls short. With bland conversation and a flat atmosphere, every task is an uphill struggle. It's a real shame as it could, and should have worked well. + Polished graphics. + Emotive audio. + Interesting supernatural abilities. + Some of the puzzles were testing and rewarding. - Poorly executed skill tree. - Bland dialogue. - Plenty of forgettable action. (Rating: PEGI 18 Bad Language, Violence Release date: 19/05/2022 Price: £49.99+) (Reviewed on the Xbox Series X. Also available on Xbox One, PC (Steam), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5)
50%Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong Review - The Delectable Vampire Detective RPG You Never Knew You Wanted
In the end, despite its penchant for occasionally boring puzzles, rough character animations and wildly varying voice performances, Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong is nonetheless a roundly fulfilling detective adventure with a vampiric twist that will appeal greatly to anyone that follows the World of Darkness setting. For others, Swansong makes for a fine, if occasionally clunky introduction to that sprawling world of supernatural politics and generation spanning stories.
