Hidetaka Miyazaki has helped establish FromSoftware as one of the greatest game-producing houses in the whole industry, setting the studio apart from others by doing exceptionally well in the Dark Fantasy genre.Bloodborneis one such title, that remains a timeless classic, locked away from many gamers due to its exclusivity on PlayStation.
It has also been debated by the die-hard fans of the game how it is arguably the best Soulslike title produced to date, a school of thought that has been challenged ever since it was proposed. The argument, headed by howBloodborneis one of the most gothic-inspired titles by Hidetaka Miyazaki turns out to have been debunked by the director himself, putting fans back to square one.

Still, despite there being no clear answer to what remains the best Soulslike/ Soulsborne game of all time, fanatics have continued to debate howBloodborneis the best gothic experience the director has ever worked on, something which was indirectly debunked by Miyazaki himself back in 2014 in an interview, viaGames Radar:
Classical works of gothic horror, Lovecrafts Cthulhu Mythos, plus a few board games and TRPGs based on such themes. This isnt the first game of mine to draw on these roots, as most of my ideas are actually text-inspired. I guess that there were no curveballs regarding that, this time around.
The director made sure to mention how the PlayStation Exclusive he worked on back in 2014 was not the first title that drew inspiration from pieces of classic gothic horror. He also states how most of his ideas remain inspired by text that has already been curated, and there were no particular challenges faced following the same path again when it came to makingBloodborne.

The greatest way of motivating a gamer to dedicate more hours of his precious day to a video game is by providing an incentive, something which is often done through achievement trophies that are unlocked after players have met a certain criterion. The baseElden Ringoffers the said incentive to the player. However, in true FromSoftware fashion, the game’s DLC will not contain any achievements to unlock, somethingwhich was implemented whenBloodborne’sDLC, The Old Hunters came out.
