    I absolutely loved this DLC. In the current video game market there are some rather shady practices when it comes to DLC, but bloodborne the old hunters has done it right!!!! The environments are great and really fit well within the Bloodborne/Souls universe. The bosses are of coarse spectacular and as always quite challenging without being just damage sponges.

This DLC has in my opinion completed Bloodborne and turned it from an amazing challenging great experience into a spectacular master piece that all should experience first hand!!!!. I feel almost obligated to rate this game 10/10 because when games are this great and the DLC is ethical we should all express our happiness in hopes that other Publisher/developers will hear us and follow suit.… Expand

    Best DLC in years. Played yesterday for about 40 minutes, and is all you need to see how amazing it is.
    Nice to see many hunters right in the beginning.
    Well let´s play.

    This DLC completes Bloodborne to a full 10/10. Exciting, beautiful, well designed environment. More colours to the game, lots of bright shining weapons. Right pace of the game, and challenging new bosses to learn. Rightfully best PS4 game so far over the years.

    This is what DLC should be, not costumes and other trash, but actual gameplay. This is much more linear than the main game of bloodborne but it plays perfect homage to the main game with locations that you will recognise with a host of new enemies with bosses that will test your limits.

    Miyazaki's Magnum Opus. Featuring the best levels and the best bosses in Bloodborne, The Old Hunters is without a doubt the best DLC of the souls DLCs. The 3 levels are brilliantly designed, the bosses are brutal with 3 strong contenders for being in the top 10 best bosses in the series, the weapons are badass and you even get answers to several lore plot-holes.

What more could you want? The only reason it does not get a perfect score is because 2 of the 5 bosses (Laurence and Living failures) were borderline bad. However, The Old Hunters is damn near perfect, and in my opinion on par with the first half of the original Dark Souls, which is quite the feat.… Expand

    The best DLC I've ever played. Laurence is a pain to fight, but other than that, I cannot find any faults with this DLC.

    This game pushed me to the very limits and a few times even made me rethink about gaming in whole and if I want to pick up a controller ever again.

    But after beating the game, I was the happiest man alive, such an amazing feeling!

    Отличный тайтл и эксклюзив на PS4. В меру сложная и разнообразная игра. Великолепный сеттинг и дизайн. Проработанные монстры и отличный геймплей.

    Great locations, new powerful enemies and bosses, awesome new weapons and attires, anime like fights with hostile hunters, cool NPC's, epic soundtrack and the most f***ed up sh*t you will ever see in a video game. What more can you want? A must buy!!

    An excellent dlc, which is not something I say very often. It features new weapons, armor sets, locations and new challenging bosses to fight. It also has some twisted and very disturbing moments, possibly more so than the original game. It all left me wanting more, so If you loved Bloodborne, there's simply no question that this is a must have!

    There a lot of new weapons and some of them are really useful and cool to use. I was a big ludwig blade user in the vanilla game but I found myself leaving that behind and try the new weapons.I instantly fell in love with the Whirligig Saw. The DLC is is full of blood stone chuncks so you don't have to worry about farming them to upgrade your new weapons.
    During my play-trough I came across 5 bosses and 3 of them took me very long time to beat. They all feel unique and you have to adept to beat them. The soundtracks during the fights were absolutely amazing.
    Overall I feel this is one of the best DLC I have ever purchased and played. Bloodborne fans will love this    … Expand

    1-Diversify its wonderful leaders in quality, style and strategy hand
    2-Fantastic new areas filled with dazzling lights horrific scenes.
    3-New capabilities allow you to fight, "is" a different style from the previous
    (it was a nice surprise for me, I'll let you discover them on your own)

    Spectacular addition to what was already a fantastic game. Lots of new weapons as well as numerous challenging new enemies to overcome. Environment has as much attention to detail as the original and with patch adding in the Old Hunter NPC to recruit there are lots of options on how to play. Challenging and very enjoyable.

    This is one of the best games available. The Old Hunters - a highly impressive DLC - solidifies it. That together with chalice dungeons, the ability to create weapons (i.e. a pure, fire saw for beasts by virtue of gems), depth, combat mechanics, world, atmosphere, ambiance, co-op ....and on and on.

    10 out of 10, one of the best games ever created FROM software! This DLC is more than enough and in my opinion is a damn MASTERPIECE! Bosses, enemies, weapons, build diversity-more runes, insane artistic HP lovecraft's style, the lore are top notch! This is truly worth it and again in my opinion FROM created a MASTERPIECE :)

    Amazing bosses, original weapons, beautiful level design, spent 15 hours to finish it alone and spent already 30 hours helping and fighting other players. Bloodborne is to my point of view the game of the year, and this DLC is mandatory, representing almost 25% of the full game and the ultimate challenge for the hunters who loved Bloodborne.

    The Old Hunters feels "right." It adds some fantastic enemies to the game, both boss and non-boss, along with some great new items and characters. If you enjoyed the main game, this DLC is a no-brainer. Now if I could just defeat that last boss...

    Wow! Just wow! A DLC as great as the original game. Incredible piece of art, no other way to call it. A very good reason to replay the entire story. Another masterpiece! Looking forward to Dark Souls 3 from Hidetaka Miyazaki.

    I'll make it short: This DLC is hard as f*ck, more satisfying then sex and ultimately worth every penny you spend on it. The only reason I can't give it a 10 or of 10 is because I would never have found a way of entering the DLC without the internet, which I found kind of annoying. Apart from that, if you liked Bloodborne, this is a must buy.

    I love Dark/Demons/Bloodborne, so I don't mind dying (of course) a lot, there are a few moments that feel unfair, and a couple of enemies with especially annoying attack patterns but aside from that, this DLC is fantastic, more of the same excellence. FROM are just killer game makers, I think they may be the best in the world right now.

    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]
