Though the Souls franchise misses out on getting a spot as it came out
in '09, Bloodborne still serves as a great representation of FromSoftware's
expertise.
It's still got that same, hyper-difficult blend of gameplay from Dark
Souls the studio have found fame with, and its gothic aesthetic takes huge
inspiration from Lovecraftian sources. It makes for a wonderfully unique look -
one that borrows heavily from the supernatural elements of gothic and fantasy
novella.
The title takes place in the grey and grimy town of Yharnam - home to a
hodgepodge of gothic architecture, complete with Eastern European design -
where the nameless protagonist must save the local populace from the ghouls and
demons that have caused a rather nasty infection in the area. What follows is a
lengthy campaign, complete with nightmarish distortions of monstrous archetypes
you'll never be able to erase from your memory - they're that messed up.
Seriously.It can only be described as a crushing experience, but at least you can
take a friend along for the ride.
