Well for starters, it has this bloodborne atmosphere that has a way of stringing you along (no pun intended) down this path of mystery. My favorite game mechanic is breaking down weapons and putting them on new handles, potentially turning them into....well whatever you want them to be. Without spoiling too much, I fell in love with how you think the enemy in front of you is just that but ng+ reveals something more. Can't get enough of this game and I am hyped up for the dlc(s) and the prequel.
