You may see Cyanide Studios had good concepts for Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood, so it’s a disgrace to see that potential wasted. Tearing by enemies is undeniably satisfying and Earthblood's stealth mechanics really feel rewarding however with poor visuals, a brief marketing campaign, and disappointing story, you possibly can't ignore these urgent flaws.
