The bosses are one of theBloodborne is an incredible journey through an extremely unique world with diverse enemy design and personality. The bosses are one of the main attractions of Bloodborne, they are all different in the way they act, their size and shape, they are TOUGH and will make you a stronger person mentally after the credits roll. Combat is fluid and with so many weapons and sidearms, for you to purchase and find throughout the world it is a joy to master the slices and whacks of the system. This applies for armor aswell, which also provide attributes and bonuses aswell as looking

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's time to film Bloodborne. I think the film will be as great a masterpiece as this video game. The game is great, I spent more than 300 hours after it and I did not get bored. I want to either New Dlc or Bloodborne 2. When you spend time with Bloodborne, this game seems so short for you. My score is the same as for many 100/100.… Expand

   Never played a Soul's game before. Decided to give Bloodborne a try for 2 reasons: some reviews saying its more friendly than Soul's seriesNever played a Soul's game before. Decided to give Bloodborne a try for 2 reasons: some reviews saying its more friendly than Soul's series and the fact 2015 started really quite for PS4, so its one of the few games worth a try after 3 months in the year.
   
   After 4 hours, trying hard to enjoy the game, I decided to give up. "Can't believe I paid full price for a game that I can't play, how can someone enjoy dying every 4 minutes, again and again?". One hour later, somehow I decided to go back. I tried and tried and tried. Now I can say It's one of the best games that I have ever played and I'm glad didn't give up after the initial frustration.
   
   My advise: the games is not as hard as it seems, its actually hard, but its also fair. Its not a impossible task. You just't need to understand what the game is about. In the beginning of the game you don't know what you are doing, you kill 12 enemies, then die. You might think you need to do that again and again. Actually you don't need to. Every kill counts for you. If you die, you just need to recover your "blood echoes" on the floor, or kill a nearby enemy to get then back. As soon as you understand how the "blood echoes" work, everything makes sense. They are like "coins" that you can use for everything you need" buying armor, weapon, upgrading them and even levelling up. The more you kill, the bigger you be your amount of "blood echoes'.
   
   Dying is not only a punishment, it might be reward, since when you get your "blood echoes" back from your previously death, probably you add "blood echoes" from your previous life you want to risk killing more enemies. So, all you need to do is to spend you "blood echoes" buying a new set of armor and leveling up. Then you will realize you are getting stronger and stronger, and your confidence will increase. After some hours will realize that those ugly big guys that seemed impossible in the beginning are no match for you. Killing everyone in your path without getting killed is not that impossible. But the games is never easy. Sometimes you will get killed by, what you consider weak enemies. Its your fault, because they are not that weak at all, you must always stay alert or you will die in a silly way. The game always remember you that, if you are killing everyone for fun, its not because the game is easy, its because you are mastering a very difficult game. Thats really satisfying.
   
   In first hours there is a confusion about being necessary to kill every enemy in your path to the bosses, since there is no "checkpoints" between you and the bosses, only a hundred of deadly enemies. Actually there are checkpoints in form of shortcuts. You can reach the first 2 bosses after seconds if you discovery the right path, and you can ignore the enemies and go through the bosses.
   
   The gameplay is fluid. Easily the best gameplay in a action RPG ever. Don't get me wrong, but the combat reminds me of Zelda games. Actually Bloodborne reminds me of darker and harder Zelda, a game where the "story" is secondary, and its all about discovering secret paths, killing enemies, slaying bosses and improving your characters abilities.
   
   Art direction and ambientation are superb, even tough the technical aspects are not that great: frame rate decrease specially in scenarios with lots of fires. There are some poor textures here and there. Sometimes the sound transition between areas are way too abrupt and rough.
   
   Just like Alien: Isolation, my 2014 game of the year, Bloodborne is nor frustrating or "too difficult". Dying is part of the process and is what makes those games enjoyable. They are a pleasure to play. Its a unique experience. I've never been that happy playing a game since my days of Zelda in my old N64.
   
   I can't forget to mention abou the online aspect of the game. Its one of the few games who got this right, without forcing players to go co-op or stay online the entire game. you can read other players advise in the whole world. They are really helpful, but the best aspect is the co-op, that are related with the RPG elements. For example, you need a ring bell to call other players help. You can't use this ring bell all the time, and you might end up getting a bad guy trying to kill you instead of a friendly help. There are other ring bells that you can purchase, in order to help others or to kill them in their worlds.
   
   In my second encounter with the boss Father Gascoigne and asked for help and the boss was dead after one minute. After that, I always help others players to beat bosses, its one of the most fun aspects of the game when you feel you are a deadly and badass hunter and you can help another player who see a boss as a impossible enemy to beat.

Прохождение откладывал аж до конца 2020 года, но рад, что в конце концов выделил для неё время. Это было невероятное приключение с ворохом незабываемых впечатлений. Я никогда не играл игры from software раньше, но очевидно теперь я опробую и другие их игры.
   Минусы не значительны, но во-первых мне не понравилось ковыряться по гробницам - не смотря на их большое количество, они друг от друга практически ничем не отличаются. Они не обязательны, но если вы хотите добраться до важного для истории босса, то вам придётся их гриндить. Во-вторых, я несколько раз застревал в текстурах, от чего мне приходилось обнулять прогресс до чек поинта, что не может вызывать раздражение.
   Жду продолжения развития сюжета и мира Bloodborne, надеюсь, что разработчики не забросят игру.… Expand
