Brilliant review. Super detailed. When you read most Bloodborne reviews it's hard to get a clear sense of what the game is actually like, but this review didn't suffer from that problem. I think it was good to talk about combat early on; most reviews ramble on about insight and other things for too long.

Having never played a Souls game, I've found Bloodborne to be a pretty accessible entry to the series (aside from the first hour or so where I felt very lost) but I can imagine it would be tough for a fan of the series to adjust to the different gameplay.

Are you going to get the PS4 version of DSII?

Pretty much agree with your assessment. I love the game. It's definitely fresher than Dark Souls II. Easily my favorite release on the PS4 but I liked Dark Souls (and maybe Demon's Souls) more because of how much more free-form your character build could be. In this one you can be a Strength build or eventually get a Skill based weapon or really go out of your way and make an Arcane build. And that's it.

Thanks a lot for reading, guys. It's a long review, but Souls games leave you with a lot to talk about, as I'm sure you well know.

Genj: I think my ranking would go Dark Souls > Bloodborne > Dark Souls II > Demon's Souls. I'm one of the few series fans who just doesn't like Demon's. I tried going back to it recently and it still had a bunch of design decisions I found obnoxious. Plus I prefer the connected world design of the other games.

Janus: I'll actually be playing that on PC, since the upgrade is only $20 for those of us who already own the base game and all of the DLC. I've already beaten the game three and a half times and bought it on two different platforms so I'm not looking to pay full price for it AGAIN.

Aww. Now I want to see what Ben said :(
