I think bloodborne holds a lot of reverence because of the themes it portrays. Besides Sekiro, which also has a cult following, all the other Souls games are based in and around medieval fantasy of some sort.
Bloodborne starts in Victorian England with a Van Helsing story and the descends into Lovecraft really fast. For a lot of people, myself included, that’s inherently a more interesting setting than medieval fantasy. People who are into victorian England are really passionate about it, and people who are into Lovecraft are really into Lovecraft.
As hard as it was to get, The Tower of Power was solid, standing erect over the competition.
This wrinkly, flaccid dingle-dangle pales in comparison to the pitch-black proud pillar of raw potent power of the original.
