Just barely a 4/5 experience for me, but my run was partially saved by heavily investing solely in luck and getting a ton of drops that made a late-game that would otherwise be grindy and overbearing relatively painless by the time I actually sat down and started to interact with the systems in place.

I can't heavily criticize Bloodstained for particularly anything, but neither is this an experience that totally blew my socks off either. It was just a solid ride start to finish.
