Modded Bloodborne is in contention for better game I've ever played and is TOP Fromsoftware
Recently I'm making my second-ish playthrough of the game with a modded version and I'm impressed with how good it is.
I've played the game at a friend's house over 3-4 sessions and we got to the Windmill in Forbidden Woods.
During this sessions, having to farm for vials and the boss runbacks were a great detriment to this spotty type of gameplay.
So when I finally got to play it on my own, I decided to play a modded version. Specifically I played with two mods: auto refill of vials and bullets and lamps of Marika, that basically puts a lamp outside of every boss. There are even more intrusive mods that let you do everything from the Lamps, erasing the need to go back to the Hunter's Dream, but I specifically wanted to have to interact with the Doll and Gerhman, because I feel that's integral for the experience.
Basically, you know how Bloodborne is everyone favorites Fromsoftware game except for the fact of the mandatory farm. Well, now it's just the best Fromsoft game fair and square, no asterisks.
WORLD: Bloodborne is the true Dark Souls 2. In the sense the world is a real new iteration of the philosophy of DS1. And it's peak.
COMBAT AND BOSSES: this is the embrional state of modern Fromsoft and even if it's tamer than later iterations, it's still captivating enough.
LORE: as much as I thought the game was about Beasts and Eldritch and not that it would pivot from one into the other, it's simply super cool and interesting.
If I have to find a spot into this awesome game, I'd say that it's the vaguest when it comes to your character is even doing.
Like, no two bells or 4 old souls, no lords of cinder or two+ runes or seeking the flame of ruin.
Seek Paleblood. Ok. Which is? Idk, I feel like for most of the game you just go around slaughtering things for the sake of it and you don't even realize when you kill a boss that's actively moving the plot forward. But again, it's Eldritch horror it's probably the intended experience.
