An invigorated spirit occupying a reassuringly recognisable body, Dark Souls’ life force flows through Bloodborne’s revitalised veins. Intelligent and intense, it's simply PS4’s best exclusive game.

Pros

Another masterpiece - Dark Souls reborn
Gothic visuals rendered in extraordinary detail
Firearms are effective

Randomised chalice dungeons boost the game's length

You cant level up at
or warp between
lamp checkpoints.
