For those of you who are familiar with RPGs, specifically Dark Souls, you have got to get your hands on Bloodborne. If you aren’t aware, BloodBorne is a fast paced RPG where combat is mainly focused on timed evasions and well-placed shots to cripple your enemies and with the final blow from your melee weapon. BloodBorne takes place in the city of Yharnam, an eery town filled with coffins, stakes, and werewolves. A bloodborne pathogen has passed through the Victorian Era-esque city and gives those infected lycanthropy side effects such as long arms, hair growing through the body, as well as dementia and aggressiveness. You play as a lone hunter, using weapons crafted in your own blood to combat these monsters. These weapons are very interesting. Each of them is referred to as a “trick weapon” and serves two functions that can easily be switched by the push of a button, and can vary in certain styles of attack as well as damage. This game is hard, but you will be relieved to know that the gameplay is extraordinary and extremely smooth. Not to mention the amount of satisfaction felt when you defeat that boss that you’ve tried and tried 1000 times to beat and then finally defeat. There’s nothing else like it. As with many RPGs, there are some sweet armor that can help you defeat said bosses, and are amazing to look at. All in all, I give this eerie bloody game a 9/10 because it just isn’t for everyone.
