Orphan of Kos just tops everything imo. It's opening cutscene is extremely gross, he is bizarre, the lore behind him is amazing, he's the cultimation of the game's story, has an incredibly disturbing design, a great (and unpredictable) fighting pattern and is hard as it gets. It will be hard for any game to top Bloodborne's boss this generation imo.

Birth by Sleep is a remaster of a PSP game. Remasters, ports and remakes don't count.

Read well, i wrote the full name of the game. Kingdom Hearts Birth by sleep 0.2 a fragmentary passage it's a game available only on PS4. It's a part of the HD 2.8 Final chapter prologue collection.

Ah, alright.
