Game Completion 2020 #64 – Bloodborne (and The Old Hunters DLC)
Platform: PS4 Developer: FromSoftware Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment I think this is my fifth time through Bloodborne but my previous runs were all new-game pluses made before the DLC dropped. Given it’s ill-advised to do Souls DLC in NG+, I’d…
