When looking at this game in its entirety: its gameplay, story, atmosphere, setting, lore, music, etc. I cannot help but consider Bloodborne as the best game From Software has ever created... and in a long line of amazing Souls games, that is quite the accomplishment.

The only downside of Bloodborne no longer exists, as it was only experienced for those folks who jumped in first upon its release back in the early days of the PS4... and those were the loading times. Thankfully, the patch came relatively quickly (but not quick enough before I ended up beating it) which cut down on the loading time significantly. The dreaded black screen of death with the words Bloodborne across it are still imprinted in my memory banks though... waiting to respawn for what seemed like a damn eternity. But now, with new consoles, and post-patch, this is no longer an issue.

Now I wait for the inevitable re-release for PS5 with some minor enhancements... it has to be coming eventually? Right guys? Riiightt!?!?

In summary, Bloodborne is a masterpiece through and through. And is deserving of a replay from me to finally get around to the DLC (The Old Hunters) that I have never played... I was waiting for a remaster, but depending on how much longer it takes, I might just dive in with my original copy of the game...
