3.5/5 ★ – Sylvo's review of Bloodborne.

I have a very love hate relationship with this game. The pary mechanic was incredibly fun and I enjoyed finding the openings in not just bosses but also basic enemies. But I will say it's annoying sometimes even when you hit those openings and your gun just misses. The level design in this game might be my least favorite from any FromSoft game I’ve played, and that’s saying something because I’ve played Dark Souls 3. Atmosphere is some of the best Fromsoft has done, story is dark and interesting, the soundtrack is absolutely phenomenal, fast paced combat is fun but honestly at this point that fast combat is kind of the base standard of most fromsoft games. The healing in this game was so annoying that I would constantly use the chalices to just farm souls to get a stock pile of healing vials. I oddly only ever felt under leveled or over leveled and there's no in between(I did not use any of the chalice blood echoes I got to level up my character). Most bosses to me weren’t memorable and blend together and I first tried half of them and the rest I would get within the next few tries which isn’t usually the case for me with FromSoft games. Literally the only time you’ll hear me complain about beating a boss to fast is a FromSoft game lol. Overall while I enjoyed Bloodborne it is my least favorite Fromsoft game I’ve played. I won’t lie, some of my opinions have been skewed simply because the die hards of this game are so loud and obnoxious that it made me question the entire playthrough why it’s treated like FromSoftwares magnum opus when it’s nowhere near close in my opinion.
