This is what I was about to say:
Sounds neat...
Vampyr is an action role-playing game played from a third-person view.The player controls the game's protagonist Jonathan E. Reid,a vampire doctor whose thirst for blood compels him to kill innocent people. To do this successfully, he must gather information about his targets—study and change their habits, collect clues and maintain certain relationships by communicating with the inhabitants of London, which serves as a semi-open world built around hubs of neighbourhoods tethered to other interlinking areas. If one so chooses, anyone in the game could be targeted, which will have consequences that affect the story.Feeding on human blood will unlock new vampiric powers in addition to providing nourishment. The "Mesmerise" ability can determine the behaviour of weaker targets—guiding them to less conspicuous areas—so as to feed without resorting to combat. One can heal injured or sick victims in order to gain more from them in the process. It is possible to finish the game without taking a life, which best preserves the character's cover as a doctor but leaves him incapable of levelling up.
The combat allows the player to wield improvised weapons, such as a saw, as well as ranged weapons in the fight against mythical and human enemies. Weapon improvement through crafting is made possible by looting items from the bodies of victims. While using vampiric powers in combat, the player character's health and energy drains. This forces him to feed so he can immediately replenish his strength. He can also utilise his "Spring" ability, letting him scale locations otherwise out of reach and charge more rapidly across gaps, which once upgraded can do damage on impact and grant temporary invincibility.

Was the first game of it any good?
If you mean the first Vampire the Masquerade game then yes it was good. Or well, decent. But it was more of a point and click RPG, way different in gameplay.
I think Bloodlines best captures the feel of the World of Darkness.
Plus at one point you fight a god damn were-shark. But I like the World of Darkness setting the best when it comes to vampires.

I was and still am looking forward to this game. I have known about it for a while, but I guess I was also hoping for a different kind of vampire game. This just seems like it's an action game that happens to be about vampires.

I like the aesthetic, but the combat seems a bit clunky to me.
