Bloodborne PS4

The alpha test for Bloodborne has opened, meaning that people have actually been able to play the spiritual successor to Demon’s Souls. In this sequence of clips captured by YouTube user LiLAsN [That wasn’t easy to type – Ed], we’re treated to a good 45 minutes or so of gameplay, featuring huge hammers, mini-bosses, and a proper full-on final enemy.

Said show stopper is dubbed the ‘Cleric Beast’, and has a health bar as long as your 50-inch television screen. Worse than that, he looks like the kind of fluff that you’d find hidden behind your sofa – only amplified to tower block size and given claws the length of samurai swords. It’s worth pointing out that this is the game’s first boss, too. Gulp.
