News/Nintendo Switch/PC/Vampire the Masquerade/Vampire the Masquerade Coteries of New York

News by Matt S. Well, this is an interesting one; I would never have expected the Nintendo Switch to get a “console exclusive” third party game like one set in the Vampire: The Masquerade. It’s still releasing on PC, but if you want to play Vampire: The Masquerade Coteries of…

Review by Clark A. Atlus has been expanding the world of Persona in recent years with the likes of dancing and fighting game offshoots. It’s inspiring how well these spin-offs fare, translating the core appeal of revered narrative masterpieces like Persona 4 into contexts far removed from JRPG action. Of…
