Bloodborne

Bloodborne is FromSoftware's most atmospheric and stylistically daring game — a Lovecraftian nightmare set in the Victorian gothic city of Yharnam, where a plague of beast-blood madness has consumed the population. Unlike the deliberate, defensive play of Dark Souls, Bloodborne pushes you to attack constantly: your health regenerates briefly after taking damage, rewarding aggression over caution. The hunter's trick weapons — transforming between short and long forms mid-combat — are among the most inventive weapon designs in action gaming. The lore escalates from gothic horror to cosmic horror with terrifying elegance, and The Old Hunters DLC is simply one of the best pieces of game content ever made. Bloodborne's PS4 exclusivity has kept it from a massive audience that deserves to experience it, making every PC port rumor a major gaming news event. An absolute masterpiece.
