    if you think the main game is unique this dlc is even more
    the boss fight are on another level
    the world is somehow darker
    a lot of developers should learn who to make good dlc's like this one
    miyazaki realy surpassed him self in this one

    It is not dlc, it is DLC. It has great bosses (hi, ludwig and orphan) and the locations are as incredible as in the original game

    I like the dlc see it has some problems it's very short and the level design is mostly just so so but boss is what makes it worth it and I enjoyed them all very much

    This DLC is pure art from beginning to end! Although it may feel a little short, it is the perfect addition to one of the most challenging games ever made.

    Sehr sehr gutes Spiel mit großem „Ich gib nicht auf“ Faktor. Ich würde das Spiel jedem empfehlen der nicht grade ein 0815 Game spielen will.

    The best DLC of a game I've ever played, just as good as the main game if not better! It is ESSENCIAL to the full experience of Bloodborne imo! Also Lady Maria is cute and really good for waifu material if you're into that kind of stuff >:3

    The greatest DLC of all time.
    The new areas are near perfect, the bosses are on a whole other level in comparison to the base game, and the weapons are unique and great. 100% worth it.

    Dark Souls 3 - Shields + Lovecraft = Bloodborne

    This game is fast-paced melee combat that rewards aggression far, far more than passivity. You get in there and YOU be the monster that all these horrors fear, not the other way around. The bosses are awesome, greusome nightmare-beasts. Some of rhe monsters and settings skeeve me out and still give me chills.

    This game is fast-paced melee combat that rewards aggression far, far more than passivity. You get in there and YOU be the monster that all these horrors fear, not the other way around. The bosses are awesome, greusome nightmare-beasts. Some of rhe monsters and settings skeeve me out and still give me chills. And the DLC is some of the best content in the game, with awesome new weapons and one of the most difficult but most fun boss battles in the entire SoulsBorne set.

    The one and only mark I have against this game is its "Chalice Dungeons", randomly generated content-padding that you NEED to go through to get all the achievements and SHOULD go through if you want the best upgrade materials for your weapons. These areas are tedious, time-consuming, and monotonous.

    Despite that looming black mark, Bloodborne remains a top 10 game for me, between its fun combat and Lovecraftian worldbuilding.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. adding on to my review of the main game, this is probably my favourite DLC in gaming, ever. The 5 bosses and new environment are better than some areas in the game, it is really amazing. My ranking of the 5 bosses is as follows
    ludwig
    lady maria
    lawrence
    orphan
    lumpy creatures i forgot the name
    such a great dlc story wise and gameplay wise with fresh ideas. Comes so close to actually being better than the original. GOOD ASS DLC    … Expand

    Great added content, a little not well balanced on regards ot the vainilla version. Nevertheless is an amazing expansion.
    With tons of interesting content.

    Найкраще ДЛС серед усіх тайтлів ФромСофтвер. Одні з найскладніших босів, купа контенту і звісно ж йобаний Орфан оф Кос. Що може бути краще

    Какая же это красивая игра! Я просто влюбился в одежду, архитектуру и ОРУЖИЕ! Оно великолепно! Так и хочется найти все и прокачать! Разнообразные боссы потребуют от вас разного подхода и сосредоточенности. Локации прекрасны, так бы и рассматривал все часами и просто гулял по миру.Какая же это красивая игра!

    I honestly think that some parts of this Expansion should have been in the main game.
    It contains the best boss fights in the entire game, adds more depth to the story and answers some questions.
    Also, it's significantly more challenging, which is a good thing because the second half of the main game was a cakewalk. The only thing that bothered me is its length, it feels very short but    I honestly think that some parts of this Expansion should have been in the main game.

    Some insist that Souls’ and Bloodborne’s greatest quality is their sadistic difficulty. If so, The Old Hunters is hands down the best game by From Software. [02/2016, p.48]

    Grueling, gruesome, but ungrudging, it expands on all that's great about the original. Marvelous. [Jan 2016, p.79]
