  • Should you play The Incredible Adventures of VAN HELSING: Final Cut in 2023? Yes, it's definitely worth playing despite its shortcomings. However, it's not worth buying for full price. And here's why.

    that game is among my most favorite games of all time. its only shortfall is that there are obvious bugs and whatnot, and the adventure mode is kind of lackluster. thats literally the only reasons its not a 10/10. id rank it as a 9.5 out of 10.
    whats noteworthy, for me, is that the game actually saves your location, and you control if the enemies respawn. that makes van helsing automatically above grim dawn and diablo 3, neither of which has, well, either of these (in my opinion) mandatory quality of life and difficulty adjustments.
    also, it was the only ARPG game that incorperated actual strategy. i really loved the whole army management system, it was a great aspect to the game.
    oh and if you wanted three different games, with three different stories and character building.... well, its kinda included by default.
    i paid full price for this and i never once regretted it.

      True, it's definitely better in terms of customizing the gameplay and I appreciate how easy it is to respec at any moment. What I meant about "separate games" is having slightly improved graphics and new approaches to character building (like in Dark Souls 2 compared to DS1, for example).

      This doesn't come close to Grim Dawn, it falls WAY short of GD which is easily the best ARPG of the last 15 years.

      @@Grandmastergav86 wrong. grim dawn basicaly has no storyline, and basically no plot. it also doesnt have voice acting, and the presentation of whatever story there is, is absolutely terrible. games exist to tell a story, and grim dawn failed at that, just to focus on things that dont matter. maybe think about why i praise van helsing so much.
