description Bloodborne Overview

Bloodborne remains a masterpiece of atmosphere and aggressive combat. Set in the decaying, Victorian-inspired city of Yharnam, it forces players to abandon the defensive playstyles of Dark Souls in favor of a fast, visceral approach. The 'rally' system, which allows players to regain health by attacking immediately after taking damage, perfectly complements the game's frantic pace. Despite being locked to 30fps on original hardware, its art direction, enemy design, and interconnected world layout remain some of the best in the entire medium.

It is an essential experience for any fan of dark, challenging games.
