Let's settle this once and for all

>very little shortcuts
I’d have to agree, much more linear

I like all three but when you pick it apart and leave the nostalgia and contrarianism aside, Bloodborne is the most impressive game and it's not really even close.

>that lightning reversal
Fucking beautiful.

>much more ambitious game
In what way?
The ambitious thing Dark Souls tries to do and generally succeeds at is creating a world that is interconnected and constantly loops around, eliminating the need for fast travel.
Whereas Bloodborne's ambitious endeavor imo is the moon phases and insight which are very clearly underdeveloped

>The ambitious thing Dark Souls tries to do and generally succeeds at is creating a world that is interconnected and constantly loops around,
That sounds ambitious as hell, play Kings Field 4

What’s makes BB more ambitious
>inb4 combat
Play a real action game
