The verdict
A shorter, simplified finale to the Van Helsing ARPG trilogy with funny dialogue and a wrapped-up story, but cut-down skills, no character import and bugs. Skip it if you haven't played 1 and 2.
Great for
Fans of Van Helsing 1 and 2 who want the story's ending, and ARPG players who like humor and pop-culture jokes
Main risk
Simplified skills, no character import and a short campaign feel like a downgrade from the earlier games
