Bloodborne
I recently purchased Bloodborne and though I would talk a little as to how I found the game to be, what I liked and what I disliked. Bloodborne is an action role playing game by fromsoftware. The devlopers who brought us the souls games. Anyone who played the Souls games would already know what to expect, but that's where Bloodborne's greatest triumph is achieved.
After the relative disappointment that was Dark Souls 2, Bloodborne offers a completely fresh take on the epic fantasy worlds we have come to love from Demon souls and Dark souls. The premise of the game is familiar to those who have played the souls game but what surprised me the most is how different it was while still feeling familiar. Unlike Call of Duty, where the games are released on a yearly cycle by three different developer's, the games still feel fundamentally the same just a little prettier. Bloodborne has been able to keep most of what fans of the souls games enjoyed but by offering a completely knew format from which to enjoy.
As opposed to 'Souls' the player has 'Blood echoes', which serve the same purpose, you find them hidden around the world, collect from enemies and can even sell items and then are used to level up or reinforce weapons. The biggest gameplay change comes from the user not having shields, the 'Souls' games allowed you to block incoming attacks with a shield, mitigating some damage at the expense of stamina. Bloodborne arms the player with a firearm which is used to interrupt attacks leading to a stagger and visceral attack for added damage.
I have heard that die hard fans of the souls series were irritated by this and some felt the gameplay was to focused on fast paced Far Cry 4 on release, being a fan since the first one on PC but have only got half way though as there just wasn't enough different to keep me interested.
action combat and dodging. Personally I found the change to be great fun and always kept in mind this was not another souls game but something knew. I can appreciate developer's taking the best mechanics, story telling, fantasy and style from one series and incorporating these into a knew franchise. It is something I wish was achieved more by other developers. I bought

The only thing I didn't enjoy about Bloodborne is it broke my PS4 controller constantly using charged attacks, that's £54.99 wasted. Luckily I have a back up.
