While it lacks ‘Souls’ in its title, most if not all of the core mechanics of the series remain. This isn’t just the best Souls game, it’s the best game on PS4. It takes the best from both Demon’s and Dark Souls, updating the combat to ensure it’s at its fastest and fluid best, as well as creating the most wonderfully varied and disturbing environments. Time not spent in its locales is instead spent thinking about them. But when you join up with other players, it somehow matches the thrills of when you come up against any foe alone.īloodborne’s world is somewhere you never want to be but also cannot stand being away from. PvP is iffy, and can annoy especially when you’re working hard earning Blood Echoes. Overall, multiplayer is in keeping with the ethos of the series. For a game based on split-second reactions and timing, it’s a huge issue. Equally, your opponent will whiff into thin air, appearing not to have made contact, only for your health to zap away a short while later.
Your health bar will deplete while staring at a stationary foe, before they suddenly zoom into your face striking a pose that says ‘I’ve just landed a crushing blow’. Rather than a ‘stuttering’ effect, it often feels more like there’s a second or two delay between seeing your opponent’s actions and their actual impact. Hit detection can be a little iffy, with delays in strikes registering, and it will take at least a fight or two to compensate for the lag. It’s a shame, then, that while co-op play (more on that in a bit) seems smooth enough, PvP suffers from some troubling network issues. On the flipside, being invaded by a far superior player can be horrifically tense, especially when you’re desperately searching for a lamp to return safely to Hunter’s Dream with your hard-earned Blood Echoes. In some ways, invasion can be seen as the true test of a Hunter’s technique and skill, as human opponents are generally far less predictable than the CPU. There’s something sinister-yet-satisfying about jumping in and completely ruining some poor stranger’s day as they toil through the streets of Yharnam. Invading other people’s worlds is always fun, especially when you outmuscle your opponent.

As ever there’s no lobby, with players instead free to continue with their journey while the game finds a match for them in the background. To use the bells players have to spend Insight points, gained via progress/levelling, or from the Madman’s Knowledge loot found on enemies and in the world. Summoning is handled via players ringing one of three bells: one for invasion, one offering assistance to others in their world, and the last asking for help in yours.
