Bloodbornehas maintained its place as one of FromSoftware’s most iconic releases after nearly a decade, with echoes of the action RPG found in many modern releases today.Bloodborne’s base game was a classic title of the PS4 era, but its Old Hunters DLC expansion for it that followed elevated the game to masterpiece status for many.
While the horror-themed Soulslike offered less overall options of equipment for its players compared to its predecessors,Bloodbornealso featured unprecedented depth to each of its weapons in terms of both gameplay and design.
