With buckets of gore and enough gothic stylings to keep Tim Burton in a perpetual state of euphoria, it's safe to say Bloodborne is one bleak experience (and one that's set to receive a new Yharnam expansion in the near future).

The latest issue of GamesMaster, with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided on the cover, is out now. Download it here or subscribe to future issues.
