MY GUIDING MOONLIGHT
I've yet to find a game with a more compelling sense of atmosphere than Bloodborne, a game that simultaneously wants to burn you alive at the stake but also flourish within its deeply corrupted world of nightmares.
This was my first FromSoft game, and I admit I wanted to put it down at first when I kept getting my ass handed to me by the mob at the pyre. But I'm so glad I stayed with it, because this has quickly become one of my favourite games. Would love to see a remake someday.

"A corpse, should be left well alone. Oh, I know very well how the secrets beckon so sweetly. Only an honest death will cure you now. Liberate you from your wild curiosity."
The HATERS will complain about framerate. Yet the only frames they'll be rating are the frames of their glasses on their eyes.
Pro:
-The soundtrack is perfection
-Lady Maria
-The First Hunter
-Atmosphere
-i think i died on ludwig the most in all of souls (second phase)
Cons:
-i prefer humanoid bosses and most bosses are beast
-30fps
-can't buy the dlc soundtrack

thank you miyazaki
Bloodborne is one of those games where you feel the urge to replay probably like twice a year. Its atmosphere and combat is just so singular in many ways, I've yet to find something that scratches the itch quite like this one.
Elden Ring is FromSoftware's magnum opus, but this is probably their most perfect game. It basically has no frills or bullshit, just straight up spellbinding for its entire runthrough.
Everyone knows the performance kinda sucks these days as it can really chug sometimes, but its not nearly enough where it sways me.
Goes on sale all the time, pick up the GOTY edition and it will be some of the best money you'll ever spend on games.

Peak Souls. platted
Eagerly awaiting a remaster/remake. Peak FromSoftware. Gaming only gets this good.
News: local man ruins everything
When people talk about video games as an art form, and as a general storytelling medium, Bloodborne is the shining example of the potential for video games to exceed even the most critically acclaimed works of art in other mediums. In all the things I've ever seen, played, read or watched, I don't think I've ever felt so strongly about something that so heavily emphasises a "show, don't tell" angle. Not only one of the best games ever purely mechanically, but possibly the best world ever created in the medium. So dense, richly atmospheric and endlessly captivating that it becomes intoxicating. Years since I've beat this and it still never leaves my mind, Bloodborne is the thoughts of a genius stylised with Miyazaki's blood, sweat and tears. Perfection.
Probably the best video-game of the modern era?
Yes... yes I think so.
Yes... yes I think so.
Bloodborne with The Old Hunters DLC might be the best videogame ever created... yeah I said it and I meant it
every second of this game is perfect
Still remains one of the best games of all time.
