Bloodborne vs Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades
Bloodborne
Bloodborne is a gothic-themed horror action RPG that will send you on a journey to the ancient city of Yharnam that is plagued with a weird infection that not only turns its infectees mad but also twists their form into nightmarish beings. Equipped with an arsenal of melee and ranged weapons, you'll need to use your wits, quick reflexes and strategic thinking to take down these challenging enemies in search of answers that, frankly speaking, you might not even want to ever know.The game also has a rather separate part called the Chalice Dungeons which functions like a dungeon crawler where you can go through a massive, randomly-generated network of underground dungeons that are filled with monsters (common ones and bosses), traps, and of course, the items you seek - valuable items. Many players did not like this aspect of the game though, mainly because the dungeons are incredibly repetitive which encourages brainless farming rather than giving players another form of adventure, and well, the bosses that you slay aren't at all unique and thus, killing them doesn't feel at all impactful.
That said, Bloodborne is still a really amazing game to play. The dark and eerie theme might not suit everone's tastes, but the gameplay is just perfect. Thankfully, the weaker parts of the game (hint: the dungeons) are pretty much avoidable unless you plan on going for the highest difficulty in the game, which in this case, you'll need to farm the dungeons for the items you need.
Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades
Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades is possibly the last in the game series and it only seemed right for it to return to its roots with lots of throwbacks to the original game that had made the franchise famous. Dark Souls 3 has a gameplay that many would say is quite similar to the first game thought the developers do attempt to spice it up with a Poise mechanism which frankly kinda fell short. The game also gave the dungeon crawling genre a nod by providing the most in-depth and impressive character customization system where you literally can design whichever build you like.Of course, there are still the usual stuff like fun quests, a compelling storyline and a well-made co-op mode. However, some players have given the developers some hell for the insane amount of latency they are experiencing in the game's multiplayer PvP.
Despite some of its flaws, Dark Souls 3 is still a great game to end a brilliant game series. Fans of the franchise should definitely get this game. Newcomers on the other hand should get the first two games before getting this one.
