Bloodborne (PS4)
YoY: =
Bloodborne is, in my opinion, the best game of the last console generation. A genuine masterpiece of design in practically every possible aspect, from gameplay to visuals, and from lore to the world itself, every aspect of Bloodborne is impeccable as far as I'm concerned. It's so good that I both do and don't want a sequel to it. On one hand, more of something this amazing would never be a bad thing, but on the other hand, it's perfect as it is. Of course, it would be amazing to go back to this world and discover more of its history and secrets, and fight against some of the best designed monsters and bosses in video game history, but part of what makes Bloodborne so brilliant is the fact that it leaves things open and doesn't explain everything to the player.
That's very fitting considering the game revolves heavily around the concept of cosmic horror, and one of the intrinsic aspects of that is that the human mind can't truly comprehend it. Leaving things as they are would be perfectly in keeping with the game's lore, and whether we ever do get any kind of continuation to Bloodborne, I'm just glad I got to experience it in the first place.
