20 PS4 Exclusives - Ranked From Worst To Best

5. Bloodborne

Bloodborne Weapons
FromSoftware

Who knows where Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki is going to go from here, but Bloodborne was a fantastically solid statement of intent, showing he and his team at FromSoftware are more than capable of branching away from swords n' shields fantasy.

As such, Bloodborne is 'Souls by way of H.P. Lovecraft, it's steampunk by way of the Babadook. By taking the open-world stylings inherent to how we explore Soulsian worlds, Miyazaki drops you into the city of Yarnham, one rich with demons and monsters that need slaying, with a far larger story backing it all up.

You'll get torn down (the studio's difficulty curve isn't any less devastating), you'll rank up and you'll specialise in a ton of fancy, cobbled together weapons. In the end though it's the world that you'll drink in, and for that Bloodborne will forever be one of the PS4's finest achievements.
