Okay, I finally beat this game. It really did grow on me, as towards the end, I was pretty much hooked. I give it a B. It's a fun action RPG, with no real story to speak of, and whatever they put in is kinda flaky. You're in some nightmare world that you have to defeat or blah blah blah whatever. There are a few cinematics, but they're all style over substance. And that's okay. Not all games need to have an engaging story, just whatever gets by. It's the reason most video game movies suck.
What Bloodborne gets right are enemy battles, from run-of-the-mill henchmen to the final bosses. You have to pay attention to how an enemy attacks and maneuver yourself accordingly. God damn, that last boss was a pain. Not the wheel-chair bound guy (who finally discovers his bodily mobility), but the enormous bug-like thing they call the baby's wet-nurse. It was enough of a challenge to be frustrating, but satisfying when you finally do get it. Most bosses can be overcome if you spend your time grinding, which is kind of annoying, but not such a big deal.
