Now, developer From Software has crafted an extravagant religious parable that mirrors its game's death-and-resurrection mechanics. The Souls games led you through parishes and cathedrals, but never have they made such grandiose statements with their subject matter. Bloodborne is not short of mysteries, but its narrative beats are inescapable, and its Christian themes are undeniable. Dark Souls and its direct sequel allowed their sights, sounds, and swordplay to tell the most vital tales, relegating backstory to atmospheric tapestries that revealed their details only if you looked closely enough. I know: such hyperbole! Yet this is the language of Bloodborne, a Dark Souls game in all but name, and one that introduces new themes and story motifs that cannot be overlooked. Instead, you come to an agreement with it: You allow it to invade your brain and demand your concentration, and it allows you to wake from inevitable death, reminding you with each resurrection that life is a gift. Even should you rise above its terrors, Bloodborne answers to no master. The vicar is a microcosm of Bloodborne itself, a wondrous monstrosity that attacks you with vicious horror and religious overtones until you submit to it.
You've never seen anything like this creature, a giant komondor dog with horns-and a former vicar of the church, apparently, evangelizing her faith by holding her paws together in prayer, then slamming them onto the ground and knocking you clear.
The beast appears, though you didn't expect it.
