Depends, one of my first criteria in determining if a game is a masterpiece is if the experience stands out from past games and past sequels (if it is isn't a new series).
How different is BB from past Souls games? Pacing of combat so far seems to be the only thing I noticed to be significant, but the look of BB looks just like Dark Souls with a darker, bloodier setting.
