This game rocks, it lives in 2000s era and it really shows. The dialogue, the music, the gameplay, its all good. This game is a lot of fun. Its not quite the same as an Immersive sim as Deus Ex and System Shock 2 are, but it still does its own thing really well. Just make sure you get the unofficial patch to run the game.

YES YOU SHOULD PLAY THIS GAME! BUT BEWARE.....
1- This game is full of bugs.
2- The game play and physics are frustratingly poor at times.
3- The 3D graphics are very old and dated.
OK so why should you play it?
It is a truly iconic early open world horror game where you play a vampire. Unlike most vampire genre games, V:TM-B holds nothing back. E.g. when you need to feed you actually have to find a human victim and, on screen, drink their blood. The music, the scenery, the maps, the characters, the enemies, they all make you feel like you really have joined White Wolf's old World of Darkness. It is an incredible experience.
As I have made clear above the game does have serious issues. There is apparently an unofficial patch that cures some of the problems, but I did not try it. It ran 1st time under Windows 11. The V:TM-B character info page was just like the Vampire rpg character sheet - spots and all.
Best advice: Wait till the Steam Summer/Winter sale and get it cheep. Its worth a try!

Jank for it's time, but a beloved classic that not only adapts the TTRPG pretty well.

Use the unofficial patch, support the fans in the community who keep this game playable for us.
