I have the Platinum for Bloodbourne so can attest that once everything clicks you won't be able to put it down. I think at the start its mostly a gear check that forces you to grind up your level a little bit. Considering re-buying it to play through before ps5 drops as it was just so damned good.
I've restarted Bloodborne (again) as I have not progressed in this game, ever.
Managed to beat Blood Starved Beast after about 5 tries (not too difficult, but i kept getting poisoned and dying before i could antidote)
Onwards.
