Having just bested the Shadows of Yharnam on my second play through and found the shortcut through the forbidden woods straight up to the very first area of the game; I realise this might just be the best game of the gen. With far better gameplay (combat specifically) than Dark Souls (3), amazing sense of atmosphere and art direction, interconnected world and peerless level design, it sure puts it in the running.
I can't think of a better video game world to explore on 8th gen hardware. -

I've been interested in it for a while but am hesitant to take the plunge for some reason. I've been like this for all of the Souls games; in the end never got 'round to any of them. I'm in a dark fantasy mood currently as well.

I think I remember you saying that you never tried The Witcher 3, or at least gave up after a little while. I'm sure that game is required playing just as much as Bloodborne is.
He is not coming back. He has forgotten me. -

The Witcher 3 is a good game but Bloodborne had far better mechanics and world design.
You should definitely get it. There is an initial hurdle where the difficultly may seem overwhelming but once you get into its groove, it becomes one of the most satisfying games I've ever played. Dark Souls 3 is brilliant as well. -

They're both pretty big games. Bloodborne took me thirty hours and I'm yet to finish DS3 (though I'm so close) with 60 hours (I'd wager half of that has been playing with friends though). The challenge is wrongly seen as the highlight of the series; I think it's the level design and world building.

I love being able to see pretty much all of the explorable world in DS3 from the castle. The mechanics aren't as strong though and the world design is a little basic by comparison. Also Bloodborne just has more of a survival horror vibe and far more interesting monsters.

Pretty Much. Also really enjoyed the progression of the night as you play through Bloodborne and the insight idea which lets you see places you've explored in a different light. DS3's world felt more static.

I'd say I enjoyed Dark Souls 3 more but Bloodborne is close in quality. It is time I get around to playing the other games in the series and I hope I won't be bored during Demon Souls this time. That game seemed lifeless.
