Bloodborne is easily one of the most brooding games I've ever played; it's DARK, and proud to flaunt that, because in spite of the lack of cheeriness in the world of Yharnam, it's still a fun place to explore and kick ass with all the local scum and villainy in this sleepless town. The game rewards exploration and completing boss fights one calculates fight at a time.
Bloodborne came from FromSoftware: the brains and brawn behind Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and the recently released Elden Ring. All these games are in the sub-genre of 'Soulslike Games': hard-to-complete experiences that requires lots of practice and trial-and-error progression, all defined by intense world-building that is discovered by the player.
The story and lore of Bloodborne is both deep and mysterious: these omniscient beings reminiscent of Cthulhu almost seem to rule from the shadows, and the plague in Yharnam has made everyone out to be bloodthirsty monsters wanting to see you, the player, dead.
Bloodborne is a game for fantasy fans and hardcore gamers alike, but its storytelling is sure to interest newcomers too. It's one of the PlayStation 4's flagship games and an accomplishment in game design.
This game is a 5/5 star experience in all the necessary areas, and it's immersion is almost unparalleled.
