This is one of the most rewarding games I've ever played, but it's also incredibly terrifying
I hadn't played "Bloodborne" until a couple of months ago, when my brother gifted it to me around the holidays. But lately, I've been spending hours every night slowly carving my way through the old city of Yharnam, exploring the gorgeous gothic architecture while hunting monstrous beasts and earning increasingly better weapons and gear along the way.
"Bloodborne" is made by a Japanese game company called From Software, which has made some of the most punishing video games of all time, including the beloved "Dark Souls" franchise. "Bloodborne" is similar to the "Dark Souls" games, but its mechanics are a bit simpler, and thus, the game is more approachable. Still, as I've learned, you will die a lot in this game - but this aspect makes every victory that much sweeter.
If you've never heard of this game - or if you already own the game and can't stop thinking about it - this is what "Bloodborne" is all about. (Warning: Nightmare fuel ahead.)
