I'm not done shitting on Bloodborne just yet! Who are the Old Hunters? i don't know, a bunch of assholes.

I don't have too much to say about this one. It's more Bloodborne, so, you know, most of my complaints still stand. The initial run through the chapel and surrounding areas didn't make a strong first impression, it was more Yharnam except it's during the day and there's rocks everywhere. The subsequent dungeons, though, do add some much needed variety. The fishing hamlet is probably my favorite location in the DLC, and given how closely such a location is tied to Lovecraft, it's almost a little wild that it wasn't part of the base game in some way.

The DLC also has the finest collection of bosses in the entire game. Ludwig is great, Lady Maria ranks up there with Father Gassy for hunter battles, and the final boss is a real motherfucker who is extremely satisfying to overcome.

The Old Hunters is a must have for fans of Bloodborne, which I am not, but it's still good enough to get a 3/5 for me and that's about the most praise this game is ever going to get.
