My favorite game of all time. The gameplay is somethin' else, the setting grips me like nothing else, and the music is so, so beautiful. I was originally going to just gush about this game but I'll keep it to the point: PLAY THIS GAME! I believe this to be not only the best thing to come out of From Software, but also the best thing to come out of gaming as a whole. Bloodborne succeeds as a game and a work of art with flying colors.

Bloodborne is a 10/10, but not just a regular old 10/10. It is a big, fat, bold printed, golden, shining 10/10. A 10/10 so big it puts Olympus Mons to shame.

So yeah, good game I guess.

EDIT: Not my favorite game ever, but an amazingly close second.

EDIT 2: Not even that close of a second, I lied. Sorry.

I can't really put into a proper sentence how cool this game, so lemme use random words.

Lysergic acid diethylamide cocaine ketamine schizoid psycho blood n guts shoot em blast em slice em dice em spray n pray slide n glide bullshit stupid insanity.

I was also in the top 400 and I think I'm still in the top 500 because I was addicted to this game for two weeks. I'll probably never regain that glory ever again, but I thought it was awesome that I'm so high on the leaderboards and that I'm actually fucking GOATed wit da sauce.

What a MASSIVE step backwards from the original SMT IV.

First off, I'll give credit where credit is due. My main man Ryota Kozuka is the composer for Apocalypse and he's still pushing out quality music. Unfortunately, that's where my praise ends for this game.

Apocalypse is a worthless game, it serves zero purpose to the Megami Tensei franchise other than to take a fat doodoo shit on it. Even worse, it has to be a continuation of my favorite game in the franchise. The world in this game is soulless and boring, and the cast ranges from below average to some of the most annoying shit ever. Dagda, Asahi, Nozomi, Gaston, Hallelujah, Toki, all of these characters are absolutely terrible and I just cannot form any kind of connection to them. In fact, I was struggling to remember who the fuck Hallelujah even was while I was writing this, and he's a fucking PARTY MEMBER! And don't get me started on how the returning characters from SMT IV are written to be the least interesting scumfuck losers on planet Earth.

And the gameplay, while not awful, is so much worse than SMT IV's. Is it more balanced than SMT IV? I guess, although it feels less like real balance and more like nerfing attacks or buffing the FUCK outta enemies' healthbars (like my God, everyone has so much health) but it's not as fun as SMT IV's combat.

I won't go into any further detail about why I hate this game cuz I don't got all day to bitch about this game, so I'll leave it at this: Fuck this game. Fuck this game so hard.

Bro, this game is the SICKEST shit, I love it. Great and gloriously violent gameplay, a shallow but still somewhat enjoyable story, and that classic Platinum Games brand of over-the-top insanity at every turn. Like c'mon dude, what other game has you sticking stop signs through a dude's skull and then impaling him on a massive spike wall, all the while two twisted ass commentators talk about how awesome you are at killing random jobbers?

It's such a shame that this game doesn't get the recognition it deserves. At least the godlike soundtrack is actually kinda recognized.

An absolutely phenomenal JRPG with incredibly fun, unique, and pretty addictive gameplay and a wonderfully written story that deals with dark and mature themes from whether authority or freedom is more important for humans, to existentialism, nihilism, and the true value of humanity. I couldn't do the story justice in a written review, all I can tell you is to play the game. Also, this game's soundtrack is some of the greatest shit I have ever heard in a game. Ryota Kozuka nailed it.

Overall, amazing game. Such a shame that SMTIV Apocalypse is garbage lmao
