I love From Software games. I love how they're not afraid to explore awkward, potentially frustrating mechanics and create believable, atmospheric environments. I love their approach to difficulty and the way they seamlessly merge modern and retro gaming sensibilities without being too obvious. I love how their games never feel too "videogame-y" and yet, are the most "videogame-y" AAA games I can think of. I got hooked on Dark Souls due to its compelling mechanics, but I fell in love with it due to the world building, characters and narrative.

Bloodborne does both parts better.
