Bloodborne (2015)
Sony didn’t turn into an exclusives powerhouse overnight. The first two years of the PS4 lifespan included some good games, but nothing on the level of what was to come. That changed in 2015 with the release of Bloodborne. Developed by From Software, this souls-like was widely considered the studio’s best work (until Elden Ring). An atmospheric horror masterpiece set in a gothic, Victorian-inspired city chock full of punishing-yet-addictive gameplay, it was the first time in years Xbox fans had to take a dose of copium and try to tell themselves it wasn’t that good. But it was.
