I love the aesthetic and the setting, but the gameplay just doesn't click with me. It's clearly very well polished and designed, but I have never been good at third person melee games and soulsborne stuff cranks the required precision up too much for me. Instead I've just listened to dozens of hours of Bloodborne lore to get the experience.
Same for me. I preserved and eventually got good. Then the story went from wierd to gross and there just wasn't enough love of the game for me to push through.
