Bloodporne Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I wasn't a huge fan of the original game so this one originally kind of came and went for me. Tried it out with PS+ on Friday and by Sunday night I had somehow blown 14 hours on it. Something about this game really clicked with me and it might be up there with my favorite Metroidvanias. It's more than the sum of its parts and I think the absolutely fantastic, often surprising soundtrack is a major factor in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Interesting. I similarly bounced off the first game. I’ll have to check this out when I finish one of the multiple games I’m currently playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combat is melee-based and very different and there's a heavier emphasis of outdoor platforming which reminded me a bit of games like Blackthorne or something in ways. There's a ledge grab and so on. There's also a this hacking mechanic that lets you take over, slow down or use enemies as platforms or even have them drop their cargo for a health pickup, it all works together well for a much more interesting and unique game imo. I still think it's a bit more niche so I'm not sure if it just hit my spots or if it's actually "better" than the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
