In terms **** being true to itself from start to finish, Bloodborne is the greatest game ever made. It's perfect. Granted it expects a lot out of you but once you know how to give it, it's a privilege to play. While ruthlessly brutal, it's a masterpiece flaws and all. Just give it the time of night.

I played the original gem over 20 years ago and I would have been happy with a straight PS1 to PS5 port. The remake however is better than I could have ever imagined, it could very well be the greatest remake to a game ever done. Quality of life updates such as fast travel aside, a lot of care has gone into polishing an already great game. The original looking back felt a little lonely on the world map at times whereas now with your party running with you it truly feels like a bigger journey than ever. The uses of flavour text on the world map and menu are a wonderful touch. It really is lightning in a bottle. I thought this game would never come and it did not disappoint.
