An Over-Analysis of From Software Boss Design: Bloodborne

Ever since I played Dark Souls, I've wanted to toss my opinions in the great all-consuming void that is Dark Souls Video Essays - and now it's time to do a video I've not seen before. An Analysis of every Bloodborne boss. That's right - EVERY Bloodborne Boss. Even the Chalice Dungeons.

This is the third part of a series going through all of FROM Software's bosses, analyzing what each of them attempt to do, how they attempt to do it, and how well they succeed (or how it is they fail).
