It’s a very solid throwback that modernizes its mechanics just enough to keep things interesting. The biggest thing holding Bloodstained back is its jump to GameCube-era 3D modeling. Some may enjoy this change, but I think the art/sound design have nothing on the game’s predecessors. I can’t lie, the music (though boasting the same composer as Symphony of he Night) just doesn’t stand out as very unique or specifically well composed outside of a few tracks.
