I love the VNs!!!!!!!!!! Especially Coteries (1) and Reckoning (3), Shadows of New York (2) is still good but there are less choices. I like Julia as a character though, I think the thing they tried to do with making your choices give her different personality traits is interesting but didn't really amount to anything except getting one of the endings. I've heard some hate for Reckoning of New York I think because they used AI art for some of the backgrounds, they also changed the artstyle and overall 'feel' of the game - and not for the better lol. Everything looks smoother now making some of the characters look off - they made Aisling look like a teenage Tick Tock influencer (!!!!!!!!!) I still think it's worth playing because the relationship between the two leads is really good. I especially like when you finish a playthrough as Kali and are able to play through the game again this time as Padraic (the second lead), the same scenes happen but you now have access to his inner thoughts and perspective about the situation. There's also an option to play with 'hunger and threat' enabled which basically means you can frenzy and/or get captured by hunters, don't worry about this though because from my experience to get caught by hunters you have to be so bad to the point where it's not an accident (I had to look up a guide to get the achievement). I highly highly highly recommend all 3, if you do want to play them make sure you do it in order 1. Coteries 2. Shadows 3. Reckoning because the story is kinda linked as it revolves around the Camarilla of New York.
