Last week one of my flatmates bought a game called “Bloodborne” for Playstation 4. He’d seen reviews about it online saying that it was both a brilliant and incredibly difficult game.

Let me tell you, it’s the hardest game I’ve ever played.

The sound of our character dying has become background noise in our flat. The last boss fight I played took me 9 attempts and almost 3 hours of gameplay. We’re currently fighting a giant spider boss, who we’ve fought and lost to the whole evening.

Even the little enemies in this game will destroy you.

It’s an immensely frustrating game. But it is also immensely satisfying.

It takes ages to get past a level. And you have to be really sharp a lot of the time. So when you do finally get past, you feel victorious. Triumphant.

So despite it being so tough, the experience of overcoming it keeps us motivated. I guess that this could be metaphor for life.

But also… you get to squish spiders with a giant hammer. That isn’t a metaphor for anything, I just think it’s really cool 🙂
