I really don't know what to think of this game. As the game that follows Dark Souls 2, it has great level design that would be seen similarly in Dark Souls 3. The art design and world is the most interesting of any FromSoft game and has so much detail it's insane. Combat was fun and I liked the faster pace while not feeling very unfair. Most of the bosses were great outside of a few which felt a little hard to read attack patterns for. Personally, I play these games for the gameplay loop more than anything. Bloodborne's flow of combat and exploration is pretty similar to Dark Souls 3, which is my favorite FromSoft title so far. Because of that, I definitely enjoyed Bloodborne and would replay it in the future alongside the DLC. However, it's not one of my favorite games ever made. My expectations for the game we're pretty high and while they were mostly delivered upon, I think this game isn't as much for me as it is for others. Hopefully the more I play this game it becomes something special for me.
