9 Video Games That Put Insane Effort Into Details Nobody Noticed

4. Every Area Is Visible From Afar - Bloodborne

Now, it's no secret that FromSoftware games are championed for their inter-connected levels. Even when the environments don't directly link back on themselves, it's always satisfying to be able to see an area in the distance you know you'll get to eventually, or look back on a speck in the distance that epitomises just how far you've come.

While Bloodborne does have this same feature, and pretty much every part of Yarnham can be looked upon no matter the area you're currently in, you might not know that this extends to pretty much every environment in the game and its DLC, even the nightmare realms that seem totally disconnected from reality.

Sure, it's easy to spot Cainhurst Castle from afar, but it's trickier to see the connections between the Nightmare Frontier and Nightmare of Mensis. They're there though, and the above video from 2236gaming does a good job of rounding up the connections between each environment, and the different layers of the map.
