My 2nd favorite in the series is right behind Elden Ring. This game simply masters the atmosphere and makes the world of Bloodborne feel so unique. Weapons and music are amazing and the whole cosmic horror reveal is amazing but I think the whole game takes a dip in quality in the 2nd half of the base game, areas, bosses, weapons, and NPCs are just not as good and as much as I want to give this game 5 stars I just don't enjoy the 2nd half nearly as much. It's still one of the best games I have ever played and a certified classic.
