Bloodborne 2015

Is it still worth playing?

FromSoftware's 2015 action role playing game, a PlayStation 4 exclusive at launch. A Hunter crosses Yharnam, a decaying Gothic city known for blood ministration, a medical practice built around the healing properties of blood, to find the source of a plague afflicting its people, fighting beasts and eldritch beings. Many melee weapons are trick weapons that change between two forms with different attacks, and the Rally system lets you win back part of the health you just lost by hitting an enemy quickly. Firearms interrupt or parry an attack, which opens the enemy up to a visceral attack. There are no shields, and Blood Echoes are the currency. The world mixes connected areas with frequent shortcuts, and optional Chalice Dungeons add more levels. Come to it today for the combat: everything pushes you to step in and hit rather than wait behind a guard.
