Bloodborne at 10: Why 2025 is the Perfect Time to Start Over!
In its day, Bloodborne was already notable for being a major shake-up compared to FromSoftware’s spree of fantasy Souls titles, proving that the action-RPG subgenre it pioneered can work in vastly different settings with a wide array of mechanics. The gothic Victorian streets of Yharnam have their own unique appeal that has been aspired to, but never surpassed, by other Soulslikes, and Bloodborne‘s faster-paced combat remains thrilling and surprisingly accessible. Despite reaching ten years of age while staying exclusive to the PlayStation 4, Bloodborne‘s strengths shine through even now, and they’re worth revisiting in the current year.
