    The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut is an outstanding action role-playing game. It sets itself apart. The significant amount of content, and the entertainment value, makes for a game that will eat away hours. With a near-endless supply of quests to complete, monsters to slay, and loot to collect, the adventure to Borgovia shouldn't be missed.

    The "Final Cut" version brings the gameplay mechanisms from The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing III to the whole adventure. With great respect to the gamers who already have all three games of the trilogy, there is no doubt that it is one of the best action/RPG games of recent years.

    Neocore Games is offering a truly enticing game with the Final Cut edition, rich in content that fans of the hack ‘n’ slash RPG genre should not miss out on.

    More than just a definitive edition, this revamped vision of an undervalued hack&slay series mixes everything together that you loved about Van Helsing and Katarina and puts a fresh spin on it. Nice!

    A few lingering flaws hurt Van Helsing’s swan song, despite the major changes, but it’s still a fitting end for the series with tons of fresh content to explore.

    For all its sloppy seconds and used structures, I can’t help but feel a little disappointed in the end that the developer didn’t try to evolve beyond just being another clone.

    Final Cut is definitely an improvement upon the Van Helsing trilogy, without a doubt.

    The price is well worth the amount of quality content you get here. With three games in one, you are looking at 50 plus hours of gameplay.

    The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut is a game I really wanted to like, but ultimately just made me wish I was playing Diablo or Torchlight instead. At it’s core, it’s technically sound, but the handful of interesting mechanics are lost in a sea of terrible ones, and does an injustice to the titular vampire-hunting doctor.

After playing 28 hours using two differentI played 3 separate games and now I'm excited about the start of this new compiled version. After playing 28 hours using two different characters I write this criticism to praise the work of developers. Everything is improved.
    Character classes that are available are sufficient to achieve plenty of adventures in the game. The skill tree is efficient and clear. If you fail there are always return options.
    The growth of the degree of difficulty between levels may require some adjustments for improved balance. There are jumps between current levels (big jumps, a canyon). Each level can show power and strength of opponents no comparison to the level of the character. If you change the difficulty of the game, imbalance reverses. We are ant on a level of the game and are giants choose one below. This is annoying. But it does not end with the proposal of the game. Only this needs adjustments.
    Graphics are very good. Environments load time is fast. I have no problem with online system. There may be, but I played around 30 hours and have not seen happen problems with the online system. Although, I played very little multiplayer to speak of it for sure. My view is directly to the gameplay alone.
    For this, the game is fully satisfying and fun as it was the first play of the series. I liked it and recommend it.

    Nice little ARPG. I wish they had made it so if you had already played 1 & 2 you didn't have to replay them again. But the game isn't thatNice little ARPG. I wish they had made it so if you had already played 1 & 2 you didn't have to replay them again. But the game isn't that long such that it couldn't be beaten in a couple of days.

    Overall the elements are standard fair. The leveling is particularly fast even at later levels. The reputation system seems underdeveloped though as I was only around 10 even though I beat everything. This makes the perks pretty much useless.

    Most encounters are OK provided you choose the right character. But most bosses tended to 1-hit key you because of the lackluster approach to health regen. They also tended to spawn enemies continuously. You pretty much need a "heal on hit" to survive. Overall though not a difficult game.

    It's great that it's free for all trilogy owner, with a brand new endgame and a ton of content...BUT:
    -delayed 2 times
    -bugs with redeem
    It's great that it's free for all trilogy owner, with a brand new endgame and a ton of content...BUT:
    -delayed 2 times
    -bugs with redeem keycode
    -bugs with windows 10
    -bugs with multiplayer
    -small community so there is no theorycrafting, no open matches

    Well, i appreciate that this 3rd time it has gone live, but maybe it's still a sort of a beta.
    Wait and see if it gets fixed. It's promising, though
