Ato - from developer/publisher Tiny Warrior Games - is successful in its attempt of capturing a simple premise with atmospheric environments, heart-piercing audio design, and an emotional narrative that is anything but simple....

This is even encouraged by Bloodborne’s core design, featuring a “rally” system that rewards players for risking combos and tanking damage by allowing them to replenish health so long as they’re quick enough. Bloodborne is arguably at its best when in the heat of combat, but magic builds are just as dangerous as they were in Dark Souls....
