The Bloodstained cross over DLC gave me some vietnam flashbacks of Hollow Knight white palace sodomy. The game is great, but this dlc really exposes how inferior the platforming is compared to something like Hollow Knight, just nowhere near as precise and pleasant. But this DLC really puts added strain on the game's mechanics, due to it's exclusively platforming nature, the main game levels done in a way that make platforming work 90% of the time, which is still not perfect but good enough.

The true gem here is the spooky bloodsoaked spanish lore about martyrs, and sins, and penitence and all this delicious stuff. You should play it only in spanish laguage, since that's where the game takes all it's historic and religious inspirations. This game might be the closest to capturing the uniqueness and at times truly horrific nature of Dark Souls visual style.
