New Review: I’m updating my score after beating The Old Hunters DLC for the first time and discovering secret areas in the base game that I’ve never discovered until all these years later. My original score was a 4.5/5 but after this recent playthrough I did I think I’m finally comfortable giving Bloodborne the full five stars. While my personal issues with bloodborne’s forced farming for blood vials or not so enjoyable bosses in late game like Rom or Micolash still exist. Those flaws bother me less and less when I truly appreciate just how INCREDIBLE everything else is. Best gameplay in the souls series that I’ve still personally experienced and the aesthetic/art style is the best fromsoft has ever created with the original dark souls and Elden Ring being a VERY close second. While I may not completely understand the lore for these games they always still intrigue me off mystery alone and Bloodborne is no exception. You go from fighting beasts in London to discovering Aliens, Gods, Baby Aliens? It’s fucking wild, and I love it.
To end this short redux here, I’m praying this game gets some type of remaster/remake/port in the future. More people need to play this masterpiece and I’m so glad I’ve grown to love Bloodborne more than I ever have before.
(OLD REVIEW): This game fucking rocks and is possibly peak fromsoft. Sadly not 5 stars for me though because blood vials kinda suck (I hate grinding for them bitches), chalice dungeons were pretty boring which is why I barely did any of them, Rom & Micolash aren't very enjoyable bosses, and the lack of build variety makes me sad :(
But other than that, I have nothing but extreme praise for this game. The aesthetic is SOOOOO top tier and the outfits are so fucking badass. The gameplay is also damn near perfection like I really have no complaints, one of the most satisfying combat in gaming tbh visceral attacks are like the coolest shit ever. Also the lore is pretty fucking cool despite how weird and confusing it is but that’s really just souls lore in general.
BUY THIS GAME NOW. BUY THAT 400 DOLLAR PLAYSTATION RN TO GET BLOODBORNE TRUST ME IT WILL BE THE BEST 400+ DOLLARS OF YOUR LIFE.
