This is one of the most rewarding games I've ever played, but it's also downright terrifying
This is Yharnam, the Gothic city you'll be exploring in "Bloodborne."
And this is you. You are a Hunter.
As a hunter, it's your job to clean the streets of Yharnham from an endemic plague that's taken over the town and transformed most of its citizens into beasts.
Some inflicted citizens just seem like normal people wielding torches and axes.
Other enemies are much more menacing. Like werewolves.
And giant ghouls.
And mobs of beastly creatures.
The game's many bosses, however, are the centerpiece of "Bloodborne."
Like this guy.
And this handsome fellow.
And this scary-looking reaper.
And this crazy guy with his head in a cage.
There's even a girl that transforms into a screeching dog-deer-monster.
Yep.
There's countless monstrosities you'll have to face in "Bloodborne."
Thankfully, you'll have plenty of versatile weapons at your disposal.
Like this spinning whirligig saw.
Or this glowing Holy Moonlight Sword.
Every weapon in "Bloodborne" can transform a secondary state. For example, the Kirkhammer is a sword that can transform into a devastating hammer.
But even with the variety of weapons and enemies, "Bloodborne" isn't all gore all the time.
All the environments in "Bloodborne" contain an insane attention to detail.
Even though the game is super creepy, you can't help but be in awe at every nook and cranny.
Just take a look at some of these areas.

Even if you don't like horror games, I recommend everyone tries "Bloodborne." It teaches you to overcome adversity, and your own fears. Again, expect to die a lot — probably more than any video game you've ever played — but you'll feel an overwhelming sense of accomplishment with each beast you slay, and each area you conquer. It's exhilarating. There's nothing quite like it.
"Bloodborne" is only available on PlayStation 4, so if you own that console, it is your duty as a citizen of this planet to play this game — that's how good it is. You can buy "Bloodborne" right here.
