>>44309455NTA but I would argue Bloodborne has those issues too. You get arguably the best weapon in the game immediately and many of the cool weapons are so far into the game that you will most likely never use them until NG+.
While Sekiro has effectively no build variety that's part of the design of the game but Bloodborne has extremely limited builds and I've never felt that it was intended to be like sekiro in that regard.
Absolutely prefect atmosphere, the best music in any souls game, excellent art, and a huge step up over DS1 and 2 in terms of gameplay mean I would still say it's one of Fromsofts best but I think Elden Ring has it beat in every regard except atmosphere and story.
