This is one of those games where you can see a lot of potential in its gameplay and ideas, but feels severely undercooked. While it draws upon its source [Werewolf: The Apocalypse] enough to be recognizable, it often feels like it could lean into it more both in plot as well as in mechanics. Even beyond just being a WtA game, other attributes such as the combat, characters, how it executes its theming, as well as its flimsy execution of player choice actually affecting anything. There's enough here in where I may return to it, but overall would only recommend if part of a subscription you have or if on a steep sale.

I'm a sucker for Werewolves so I thought HMMM Maybe this could be a fun game, and after I finished it.............EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, it's not god awful but it's not all that good either.

The story sucks, the characters are bland and unmemorable, and the models look fuck ugly.
The only saving grace game gave to me was the combat.
I'm not gonna say that it's better than God of War, but it's very 2009 and 2000's hack and slashes are my fucking jam. While the combat did get repetitive near the last level I still enjoyed the game overall.

I can't say I didn't have an awful time with this game but I'll probably forget this game even came out in like 3 months.

Story wasn't anything special. Visually it was like an very early PS4 game and the combat was very repetitive. For a trophy hunter though it was perfect. Very quick and easy Platinum. A lot of story related trophies that can't be missed (will need to do a back up save for a very quick alternate ending). Combat related trophies can almost all be done by the end of the second mission and I'd suggest guide for the collectables because if you miss one you'll have to play the whole game again. So over all, if you are a trophy/achievement it's great. If not, then I'd avoid it.

This game has a cool concept but it's just a dull button masher.

Stealth sections exist but literally you aren't punished for getting caught after the tutorial mission so I just would get caught and fight my way through most levels

I got bored and kept almost falling asleep while playing, not a fan.

Difficulty: 3/10
My time: 12 hours
Platinum N°: 147

Looking for something to play, I came across Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood on PS Plus Extra, unfortunately, the game falls short in several aspects such as the visual theme.

The faces are awful, the scenarios are similar and monotonous, and the cinematics look strange, as if the compression didn't turn out well. The story has interesting touches but is overshadowed by the poor presentation. The gameplay, on the other hand, is acceptable, it's fun to destroy enemies as a Werewolf, but sadly it becomes very old very quickly.

The path to the platinum trophy consists of finding all the Spirits (collectibles), reading 30 documents (collectibles), getting both endings, completing 1 level without killing any civilians, winning a fight with 5% energy, among others.

Honestly, I don't recommend this title unless you want a relatively short platinum to earn

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood reminds me a lot of action games released in the Xbox 360/PS3 generation- destructable environments very basic stealth mechanics and a lot of button mashing.

In Earthblood, you play as Cahal, a werewolf whose pack opposes a corporation that is jeopardising the planet. For Cahal, it is also a pretty personal matter, as this company has also inflicted harm upon his family. As far as plots go, it isn't the most original but at least it is set in the World of Darkness universe and I have to give the developers' their due, they clearly spent time looking at how to recreate this universe in video game format.

It is unfortunate that everything else about the game feels pretty rushed. The game races towards it conclusion as if it is being chased by a pack of wolves. There are only six side quests, which really are only three but repeated twice in two different locations. Finally, the skill tree is rather small, so by the time you get halfway through the game you will have unlocked all the skills you would want to use.

That being said, it is clear that the game was made by a small team with a small budget. I feel that if given the chance, they could make a fantastic World of Darkness video game.
I would only recommend this game to World of Darkness fans or if you find it on sale.

O Manifesto Werewolf é um jogo escrito por "Wolf Karl" e "Werewolf Engels", publicado pela primeira vez em 1848. Neste manifesto, são apresentadas reflexões críticas sobre a sociedade capitalista e defende-se a luta de classes como motor da história e a necessidade de uma revolução werewolf para derrubar a "burguesia" e estabelecer uma sociedade werewolfista.

Wolf Karl e Werewolf Engels argumentam que a história da humanidade é marcada por uma série de lutas de classes, com a "burguesia" (classe capitalista proprietária dos meios de produção) sempre explorando o "proletariado" (classe trabalhadora desprovida de recursos). Eles afirmam que essa exploração gera contradições internas no sistema capitalista, levando inevitavelmente a uma revolução werewolfista.

No manifesto, há uma análise detalhada do modo de produção capitalista, descrevendo suas características e consequências. Eles argumentam que o capitalismo cria uma divisão entre a classe trabalhadora e a classe capitalista, com a acumulação de riqueza nas mãos de poucos em detrimento das massas. Essa exploração e desigualdade resultam em alienação dos trabalhadores, pois eles são privados do controle sobre seu próprio trabalho e dos frutos de seu trabalho.

Wolf Karl e Werewolf Engels enfatizam a necessidade de uma revolução werewolfista como meio de libertar o proletariado e transformar a sociedade. Eles defendem a abolição da propriedade privada dos meios de produção, argumentando que isso permitiria a socialização dos meios de produção e a distribuição equitativa dos recursos. A revolução werewolfista visaria criar uma sociedade sem classes, onde todos os indivíduos teriam acesso igualitário aos bens e serviços necessários para sua subsistência.

No entanto, é importante ressaltar que o Manifesto Werewolf foi escrito no século XIX e suas ideias foram aplicadas em diferentes contextos históricos posteriormente. Embora tenha influenciado movimentos políticos e sociais, é fundamental considerar a evolução das teorias e práticas werewolfistas ao longo do tempo e em diferentes países.

Em resumo, o Manifesto Werewolf é um texto que aborda a crítica ao sistema capitalista, defendendo a luta de classes e a necessidade de uma revolução werewolfista para alcançar uma sociedade sem classes. Suas ideias têm tido um impacto significativo no pensamento político e social, gerando discussões e debates até os dias atuais.

I downloaded this on a whim on a bored weekend. It's a third person werwolf action game. How bad could it be. Well not great really. This seems like it's based on some established IP. At least it feels like it. I dunno but everything about this game is really dull. Every enviroment is the same. Get used to looking at the same facility level over and over again. Not a lot of animations and things are jank. It's hilarious how detailed the main character is compared to the other NPC's. They look like they could be from two different generations. I mean I like me so low budget games and jank is a part of that but man is the gameplay bad. I know people exagerate when they say the gameplay has no depth, but holy shit is that true here. It is just mindless mashing. Stiff controls and tons of enemies who either die in a single hit or have a crap ton of armor. Very limited movesets and tanky enemies just repeated over and over and over again. Not a good time.

World building looks like there was some effort put in, maybe cause it's an established IP? Again I don't know. What i do know is that the story is so boring and life less. Could be from the limited animations, bad character renders and stiffled voice acting. The game looked like an easy platinum that I could do over a weekend but I missed one collectible and there isn't any chapter select or anything to go back and get it, so I kind of lost any motivation to keep playing. Kinda a dumb reason to stop playing the game but the gameplay or story sure as hell wasn't going to entice me to continue. I'd pass on this one.
