There are no choices to make with your dialogue, no character relationships to build, no chosen one to become. Combatīloodborne is all about exploration and combat. Let’s figure out how you’re going to survive. You’re given a vague task and sent out into this cruel and terrifying world on your own. This means enemies change, locations open up, the sky becomes different, and some more interesting things that I won’t spoil here.Īt the center of all this stands you, the hunter, a created character of your choosing who doesn’t have a voice. See, in Bloodborne, the story progressing actually changes the world around you. Where Bloodborne’s world stands alone is how its story unfolds. Traverse through the game some more and you’ll be introduced to a huge variety of landscapes such as creepy bogs, huge gothic churches, insane, demonic worlds, and even a massive haunted castle. Are they helpful? That’s up to you to find out. Most are unable to be interacted with, but every so often you’ll see a house with a lantern-lit up out front. As you fight and run through the streets of Yarnham, you’ll hear groans and sounds of agony coming from houses. The deranged citizens of Yarnham are on a hunt and when you enter their sights, you become the hunted. Once you’re thrust back into the world though, it’s time to march forward. It’s a terrifying touch that fits in perfectly with the theme being built here. It’s there you meet the doll, an absolutely chilling character who acts as a guide for your quest, and depending on when you approach her, she may either be completely lifeless or animated and helpful. After you inevitably die, you wake up in the Hunter’s Dream.Ī mysterious place seemingly beyond time itself where the portals back to the terrifying world of Yarnham reside.
Right at the start, you’re in a decrepit library being experimented on and all of a sudden, you’re fighting a vicious Werewolf with not a weapon in sight. Graphically, it’s not going to blow you away, but it’s the personality of the world that comes alive. On rare occasions though, the world becomes a great enough character that it doesn’t matter who is inhabiting it.īloodborne is that form of an incredible story that has its world as the main character.

Some videogames need great characters to carry their stories and like most good TV shows and movies, that is often the smartest route to take when telling a story. Let’s explore what makes Bloodborne such a memorable and chilling experience. It’s one of the most unique experiences you can have while playing a video game and it’s maybe the best system seller in Playstation’s history. It’s an RPG, it’s an action game, it’s a horror game, it’s a puzzle game and it’s also a story-driven game. In that way, Bloodborne is very clearly more than the sum of its parts. It’s a game that, at its core, is about exploring a massive, interconnected world and taking down enemies and bosses on your path to completing the story. If you know of the Dark Souls series, you will be instantly familiar with what Bloodborne has to offer.

The criteria for the system-seller has always been mass appeal, loud, bloody and grunting action heroes.īut what if I told you there was a different kind of game that could be a system seller? What if I told you that game was dark, gloomy, quiet, disturbing, and also ultra-violent? the PS4 exclusive Bloodborne is that very game. In the past, this title has gone to games like Halo, God of War, Zelda, and Gears of War.
The system seller is an overused term that is always stamped on the hot game that everyone and their mother plays. It is From Software’s masterpiece and one of the most unique and chilling games I’ve ever played.
I got it on a discount and I was blown away. I figure, what else can be done with this type of game? At a certain point, fighting enemies with swords and whatnot to fight the boss would just get old right? For that reason, I picked up Bloodborne in late 2016 instead of its release date. I was a fan of Dark Souls 1 and 2, but not a ferocious one like most of the fan base.
