I've beaten the game like 9 times at this point. It's pretty good I think.

I'll always have a soft spot for this because it was my introduction to the series, but after playing some of the original I agree with the take that they stripped a lot of the games identity down into something more generic fantasy (especially the music). If bluepoint eventually makes a Bloodborne remake and they change the art direction and atmosphere like they did here i will not be pleased.
