The story here is crafted so meticulously that it immerses the players into the horrors of Yharnam from the get-go. It is set in the Gothic world of Yharnam, where players are bestowed with the task of hunting beasts and many otherworldly creatures. Instead, the plot is conveyed to the player via gameplay and using subtle environmental storytelling.īloodborne is arguably the best FromSoftware game that uses their signature narrative delivery techniques. The narrative in their games is not told in traditional ways using cutscenes.
Bonding between the father and son duo is what drives the game.įromSoftware are masters of subtle video game storytelling. It's a tale of a god trying to hide his true nature and learning to be human, while trying to protect his son from threats that require him to embrace his godhood. The story of God of War (2018) is a heart-felt tale of a grieving pair of father and son travelling around the frozen Norse lands to honor the last wishes of Faye, wife to Kratos and mother of Atreus, Kratos' son. The new God of War, which is a sequel to God of War 3 but also a soft reboot of the series, has a new mythological setting and new gods to interact with (and kill).
It mostly felt like a set dressing for players to go and kill well-known characters of Greek mythology in the most violent and gruesome ways possible. The plot was mostly relegated to Kratos seeking vengeance against the entire Greek pantheon for the murder of his family. The God of War games, even though they were adored for their over-the-top action setpieces, never truly shined when it came to the game's story.
