    Witcher 3 starts out great, but everything after the first act feels terribly rushed. If it had kept up the quality of the first act it would actually deserve all the “best game of all time” praise it gets but it really just doesn’t. Where it ends up is as the first open world rpg that doesn’t fall apart at the seams as you play it (which basically just means it is not a bethesda game).

    I’ve not played bloodborne for it being exclusive to the PS4, but if it is at all as good as the other non-sequel-games Miyazaki has made (the original Dark Souls, Sekiro and Elden Ring) and I have no reason to suspect it isn’t, then it easily clears Witcher 3. Also hot take: Item descriptions are the optimal way of giving world information to the player.
