    I mean this game is not bad, it has really great bosses, combat, lore, but it's the most unenjoyable game that I have ever played and also biggest disappointment for me. It's also one of the easiest games in the series in my opinion. Every one kept suggesting me to play bloodborne as I really enjoyed every souls, sekiro and elden ring. But after couple of hours I started to getting bored.I mean this game is not bad, it has really great bosses, combat, lore, but it's the most unenjoyable game that I have ever played and also biggest disappointment for me.

Almost everything in this games annoys me like: low damage your character deals, heal farming, long boss runs, weird enemies and chalice dungeons.

    I played this game only for 1 hour and I couldn't keep playing it because of the difficulty level it provides.

    Honestly the difficulty level as a general parameter in a video game, is a real BALANCE that should be set very carefully by the developers. If the game happens to be very easy, it won't be fun enough to play. Also it'll be the same if the game is very hard, it won't be fun    I played this game only for 1 hour and I couldn't keep playing it because of the difficulty level it provides.

    However that I believe in "taste of gaming" which is different for anyone.
    I have many good friends that actually LOVE this game and especially the difficulty of it.
    And I won't blame it one them that why you like it?! Because I believe in "personal taste of gaming".
    It's just not my style, I don't like games that are this hard...
    But it doesn't mean that no one else should love it too!

    The game is very great in terms of art, graphics, gameplay, mechanisms, level design, story...

    But I think that it's not balanced in terms of difficulty when you compare it to all other balanced games.

    And the fact is that "Souls" series fans like this kind of hardness! They're fan of this difficulty.

    So the game is even successful in finding buyers! Which is the final goal of every game and every product.

    I respect it, I respect those who love it, you won't have to regret if you love it.
    But it's not the taste of game that I can keep playing!

    It's not balanced in difficulty and its fans exactly like this unbalanced difficulty!
    But I don't like it and I won't waste my time playing a game that its difficulty should be balanced to match with other games...    … Expand

    The single most overhyped video game ever, like it's literally Dark Souls but.. DARKER and gets overhyped to death, awful fps/performance, terrible loading times, blood farming, half the base game bosses are gimmicks, it's not close to Sekiro or Elden Ring

    Having to squeeze time in for videogames sometimes, it is frustrating to play one where most of the free time I have is retrying areas and/or bosses due to the difficulty level. It seems like a lot of effort for the little time some people have for videogames these days. The scenery is nice and the enemy differentiation is welcomed, but this isn't a game for some people who want to play for fun.

    Every single boss is a tedious slog. Most overated nonsense of all time. Sigh. Tried to come back to it. Everyone agrees battling the bosses suck, even if they like the game. So why is it a "10"? Because of the developer. Literally. The bosses are the worst I've ever experienced. Play Micolash, take off the rose colored glasses, and defend that fight. You cant.

It is difficult like some resident evil games where you struggle with controls and game owns you just because its controlling is bad and you cant do nothing about it. I mean inconsistent hit-boxes, teleporting of enemies towards you, surfaces clipping etc. And if compare it to sekiro which worth struggle because game is beautiful and completion stages of it opens something new and beautiful. But here in bloodborne there are nothing interesting to open except new areas with terrible design.

I have smoked my whole life, I drink too much, I'm slightly over weight, I do plenty to mess with my body but if some fool swung their arms at me that slow they would be getting knocked the **** out. But that's me, never mind some bad ass monsters.

But that's me, never mind some bad ass monsters.

    I played this game twice for about 5 minutes and hated it both times. There are literally 10s of 1000s of games with tighter controls. If the main character is someone that I could knock out in 2 seconds, then the game is piss poor from the get go. Games in the 90's were way better on the controls. I can't be arsed doing gay finger gymnastics for no reason. The buttons in the first 5 minutes just felt a bit unnecessary as I find with many PS4 games, as if adding more buttons means better gameplay.

    So yeah it is gonna be full of gore and blood and guts and monsters, or creatures getting mashed up, I'm not 12, it doesn't excite me, I don't find any shock factor in that. So what is there to enjoy? Not a lot. I can't say I know anyone that goes on holiday to look at grey and brown derelict buildings. I am here with a game though that is shoving grey and brown at me. You know the colours of mud and the sky when it's going to rain. Ugly **** Yes I know this is the theme of the game but it doesn't make it any less drab.

    The gothic buildings have a nice design, plus 1 point but the game did nothing but turn me off from the start, so it loses that point again.

    I don't know what I expected here but I didn't expect it to feel like my character was being controlled over a dial up internet connection. It was like slow motion. This game was over before it began for me, to sum it up, I guess clunky would be the best word.

If you don't have a job or relationship, Bloodborne is for you, since progress saving is basically nonexsistent, and progress doesn't really occur. You can't just pick it up for a couple hours, because there's no point-you don't get anywhere, and if you do, it's not you can save where you're at and pick up where you left off. 4 hours into the game, and you're still just aimlessly wandering about, with no real direction or purpose. You are severely underpowered, and I don't think in these 4 hours any character spoke. There is absolutely NO story to speak of whatsoever. There's no sense of any kind of progression. in the first 20 minutes you run into a boss who's CLEARLY meant to be fought against late-game (some giant bird on a bridge). The devs decided "let's throw a bunch of cool stuff together haphazardly and then forgot to add a story.

    I played ds1, ds3 with DLC, i'm no great player that's for sure but I'm not completely incompetent. I spent 20 hours on BB and stopped at orphan of kos. Never again.

    Bloodborne was to me the most painful and worthless experience in all the games I played in console ever. Not only I lost my time, I felt raped by a degrading, humiliating, violent and plain mean game designed to puke at human beings and make them feel bad.

    I'm okay with challenging game, but this is too much, this and maps layout designed to kill the player on the slightest and most unfair mistake. That's why I'm giving it a 1. The game is great, but designers were **** on purpose and I feel I did not deserved such treatments.

    I intended to do every soul games, I'm guessing my journey ends here.

    I'll keep at heart the dark soul licence which I love.

    Update on 23/04/2021:

    I beat the orphan after 4h30 of grinding and then I blazed through the game. I beated every boss of the DLC I'm only missing 3 in total, all of that so that I may have the right of my own opinion.

    My score will remain the same : Bloodborne is from the beginning to the end, a sadistic, gruelsome and unfair game which does not give you any sense of fulfilment. The graphics, story, atmosphere, whatever you want are all butchered by the frustration I had playing. I did not enjoyed this game.

    Bloodborne is strictly overrated. If you're looking for a challenge, go for it, but its not an enjoyable one.    … Expand

И подобных примеров хватает. Это бесит и отдаёт халтурой. Ну и конечно сложность. Есть казуал, есть сложность для среднего игрока, есть сложность для тех, кто хочет прилагать услилия, думать как победить, а есть серия Souls. Этой игре плевать на вас. И всё бы ничего, если бы сложность была 150%, но при этом все геймплейные составляющие должны быть отполированы на те же 150%. Это честно. Но нет, в Bloodborne сложность нереальная, секундное замешательство и ты - труп. Беги всю локацию сначала, опять бей всех монстров. Иногда из-за того, что камера коряво встанет, персонаж промахнётся, хотя вроде бы всё указывает на попадание. Может налететь группа монстров и зажать в углу и ничего ты не сделаешь. И игра не работает по принципу: мы всё сделали сложно, отполировали, тебе нужно только подумать - нет, здесь сделано по принципу: поставим здесь кучу мобов, сделаем неудобную для камеры локацию и нам похер, сможешь ты или нет, мы ведь fromsoftware, и нам плевать на баланс и удобство. Может игра бы и зашла, буть побольше чекпоинтов, но в таком виде в каком есть - это тупо издевательство. И было бы круто, если бы за такие челенджи давались бы какие-то ачивки в виде роликов, порции сюжета, хоть чего-то, но здесь ты можешь убить монстра через 4 часа мучений и получить в награду....ничего. Разработчикам настолько плевать все составляющие, кроме сложности, что они даже NPC рот не анимируют во время разговора.

    Кому игра подойдёт:
    1) тем, кому важен только геймплей
    2) тем, кому плевать на сюжет, персонажей, диалоги, катсцены
    3) тем, у кого железные нервы и склонность к садомазохизму

I went through the whole series of Dark souls games, including Demon souls.I passed: Midira, Smoky Knight, etc., so that they would not think that bloodborne was too complicated for me and I didn’t understand anything. On the contrary, the game is insanely easy if in dark souls, when killing a difficult boss, there is a lot of excitement, it’s a great joy that you finally defeated a strong opponent. In bloodborne, I almost fell asleep in a fight with them. I do not mean DLC! In this game, I found the pros, but they are very few. I really like the overall style and architecture of the game. The second plus: I like the idea that the weapon can be modified in a completely different way. They say that in BloodBorne * cool bosses * either I don’t understand something or they did not play Dark souls 3. You may ask: why compare BloodBorne and Dark souls 3? Yes, because Dark souls 3 is a direct competitor to BloodBorne. Many bosses have just the same model, but just different skin colors. For example: Church Monster, Amelia, Monster Paarl, Lawrence, etc. I am silent about the bowls that are made so that the player has spent a little more time in the game. I, as a lover of parrying in this game, am disappointed because in this game parry when passes when not. There are very few weapons and clothes in the game compared to Dark souls 3. I am silent about the extraction of consumables, the place is the same, already proven mechanics, as in Darks souls 3. They decided to EXPERIMENT. I heard that Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is also an EXPERIMENT. Why, when a company creates, not another Dark souls, is it an EXPERIMENT? In general, I liked the idea, but the implementation, no. This game didn’t have enough cool bosses like in Dark souls 3. If you could choose clothes in dark souls for about 10 minutes, then you don’t have to choose bloodborne, since it’s almost useless armor, since it’s resisted, and it’s broken. even first-aid kits in the game are possible, almost 30 pieces, twice as many as in Dark souls 3. But in Darks souls we could pump both the number of first-aid kits and their effectiveness. If you do not compare this game with Dark souls 3, then it’s not so and bad. And if you have not played, not one, not the other, I advise you to start with BloodBorne. Good game to everyone.… Expand

    The graphics are meh, the story is meh. The gameplay is bottom of the barrel awful.
    Starting with the game camera that makes it pretty much impossible to see anything in a lot of situations, especially against larger Bosses where your camera will get stuck and you won't have any idea what's happening. Boss fights also frequently rely on oneshotting the player since coming up with an interesting Boss fight would have been too much effort.
    In general combat is another pretty big meh. You dodge, attack, dodge, attack. All of it in what's supposed to be a slow and deliberate way of fighting. Although I'm not entirely sure that was the plan since Boss fights don't entirely fit into this style. The challenge of the boss fights also feels less like the Bosses are difficult, rather that you're fighting against unresponsive controls, clunky Models and a camera that's hell bent on confusing you.
    The lack of checkpoints means that when you lose a boss fight (the only times losing is possible) you have to fight your way through pointless minions over and over again. This isn't a challenge, the enemies are easy to beat. It's pointlessly wasting the players time in the name of some challenge i've yet to figure out. There's no resources to waste or health to lose. Just your time.
    FromSoftware as a Developer has done something fascinating, they found a way to market awful game design. Using the community to silence any criticism by pretending it's all about the difficulty, the "git gud" attitude. And this games score shows that it works, this is why we can't have nice things.    … Expand

    The blood vial system forces the player to farm life potions that are an item crucial for Boss Fights, making tougher bosses a painful grind. It's an oversight that renders this otherwise promising game unplayable.

Remove all the cutscenes and dialogue from Mass Effect and just leave the lore there and then tell me what the story actually is and not just your "interpretation" of it.

However its still a long process after you die. IMHO there should be a checkpoint before every boss.

    IMHO there should be a checkpoint before every boss. We could still lose blood for that but make it possible to not lose my precious time "running". The frustration from dying in boss fight is not from dying itself and being able to kill the boss. The frustration comes from having to run 1-3 minutes or having to farm again potions.

    If you use your pots on a fight, you then need to refarm them in order to increase your chance of winning.

    Of course you can do everything without pots etc. however if it's your first run and you don't want to watch Youtube of how to beat the boss and get the feeling on your "own" then you will probably die at boss fights at least a few times before learning its moves.

    The "running" part makes this game unbearable for me. I tried. I beated a few bosses and had pretty good fun. Really cool, unique enemies however dying part is frustrating, not because of 'difficulty' which is really a blast, but because of how game makes you run to boss.

    If you value your time as much as I do, then do not buy. If you have plenty of time, you like difficult games and this minus doesn't bother you then this is a great game.    … Expand

Read this review keeping in mind that I'm absolutely neutral. Never played any Souls games before, and never tried Bloodborne until it went free on PS plus. I still can not recommend it although not having payed for it. I can say that the game is not difficult at all, it's just unnecessarily missing so many things that would make it loved by more people aside from the ''veterans''.

    - There is no save option. No matter how much you progress, when you die you'll start from the last ''Lantern'' you activated, which are extremely rare to find (I played for 10 hours and only found one)

    - When you die, you don't only start from the BEGINNING of that level, EVERY ENEMY you have slayed until that point will be respawned. ALL OF THEM. Making the game unnecessarily dragging. You will lose ALL your money, which are required even in order to level up. (You use the currency in order to increase your stats, which level you up)

    -There is no map, and the environment can be confusing because it's not a small area and you need to find some shortcuts because there are no saving in this game. Which is a pain because every area there are a TON of enemies. When you try to escape them, the other comes and they suddenly surround you.

    - If you say ''no problem, I like me a good challenge'' after reading the things I mentioned above, keep in mind that there is no incentive to keep playing the game. There is no story. You just wake up in a hospital-like building. And if you talk to some NPCs outside, you can learn that it's the night of the hunt (whatever the hell that means). That's all. I mean why would I waste my time playing this and starting all over and killing the same enemies again?

    + The only thing I liked about this game is the atmosphere. It's dark, it's gloomy, it's serious. Which suits my tastes. But too bad the other things ruin this game.

    Conclusion: If you still are not convinced after reading this, by all means go and try the game. But try it now while it's free with PS plus. Because the chances are you will not be one of those minority of people who likes this game. Do NOT pay for it even if it's on sale. I was about to do that but I would absolutely regret it if I had paid a dime for this one.    … Expand

    I sincerely don't get when other annual franchises like Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed get (rightfully) criticized for being the same game over and over again, whereas this mucus gets a pass.    … Expand

From Software keeps rehashing the same ideas without fixing chronic problems that plague every Souls game. In this case, BB strips out all the great elements of Souls while leaving all the performance issues and bugs in place. It’s everything bad about the series crammed into one package.

    BB is not optimized. It performs poorly and looks merely average. Muddled textures, poor animations, and abysmal frame rates are just some of the problems. Adjusting the camera generates nausea inducing blur. The targeting feature is as glitchy and frustrating as ever. BB is the only game that’s crashed on my new PS4 Pro. From is nearly incapable of developing well optimized games. BB might have been passable on the PS3, but not on a powerhouse like the PS4. Frames are capped at 30fps and constantly drop into the teens. There are plenty of nextgen games that look slicker and run smoother.

    Lengthy load times degrade the experience further. BB reloads the entire game world after each death. According to From, this “reset” is necessary to completely flush system memory. Unfortunately, players will die a lot, so lengthy load screens are a major annoyance. Players endure two loads screens just to manage inventory. Players must transport to a specific location, enter a house, and access a chest to grab stored items. Then they have to transport back out all the while enduring loading screens each time they transport. Instead of simply accessing items, players are forced to waste minutes performing mundane tasks. This same process must be repeated to level up, buy items, and upgrade weapons.

    This probably explains BB’s terrible performance. Most assets are front loaded instead of being rendered as players traverse the world. So the engine renders unneeded assets at once creating a massive workload. There’s speculation From chose this route because BB couldn’t be optimized in time for launch, so it took the least time consuming approach. It ended up being inefficient and annoying.

    Combat is horrid. Players can’t block, so they must dodge and parry. But environments are either narrow littered alleys, or moderately-sized littered arenas. They don’t mesh with BB’s mechanics. Dodging is ineffective if players are banging against walls or tripping over debris. The janky targeting system further hinders combat because the camera cannot pass thru objects. It positions itself behind walls, barrels, and up enemies’ butts (no joke). Some bosses are maddeningly difficult unless players master parrying. It’s a high risk, high reward move which requires precise timing and moveset memorization. It’s so difficult, many Souls players don’t master it which makes certain fights move difficult than they should be.

    Combat suffers from clipping, poor detection, and animation glitches. Enemies attack thru walls and other impassable obstructions. Enemies continually attack players even if they lie stunned on the ground. Low frames and janky hit boxes foil precise combat. BB is full of cheap shots.

    BB forces players to spend exorbitant amounts of time farming for basic necessities. Instead of replaying bosses to learn patterns, players must farm the items needed to master difficult battles. If a boss kicks someone’s tail again and again, they will have to farm again and again.

    All the best gear and “magic” items are buried in the last third of the game. Players will need to be level 80+ to get them. Some items require an insane amount of farming to procure. This baffling design decision hampers build variety. And most of the magic gear is useless and prohibitively expensive to use anyway.

    As usual, online play is underwhelming and geared towards Souls tryhards. Lag, low player population, and one-sided invasions afflict BB just like every Souls game. From pushes multiplayer hard despite the low demand for it. The co-op aspect of BB is the worst all of Souls games.

    Gameplay-wise, BB is a big leap back from the maligned Dark Souls 2. BB strips out story, magic, blocking, hybrid builds, and weapons diversity. To compensate, From throws in underpowered guns which are only useful in a few instances. Guns can be used to parry, but that’s so dang difficult many players don’t bother. Players are left with unsatisfactory character progression, uninteresting enemies, zero build variety, and a so-so story. Replay value is low comparatively. So I don’t understand why it’s loved so much when DS2 exceeds BB in every meaningful way.

    Bloodborne is derivative and unpolished. The only positive thing I can say: It works. The series is CODesque because From pushes the same product with only slight variations. Replacing shields with guns doesn’t make it a novel series. For PC gamers, I recommend Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin instead. From fixed annoyances in the original DS2 while boosting performance and visuals. Plus, 60fps!    … Expand

They dont spoil you in which makes the rewards all the more exciting. You are comfortable in the fact that your parents love you, even though they arent easy on you. Whereas in Bloodborne you have a stepmother who is a sadistic maniac who takes pleasure in your discomfort and will always find ways to torment you, no matter how well avoid her. The only way to get reward is by enjoying your role of submission to her twisted game. (I know this isnt a perfect analogy, but i hope it helps you understand my point of view). The game to me, wasnt difficult but too often made me have a "I really wish I werent here right now" type of feeling every time I progressed in an area rather than a common feeling that I got in dark souls 1, 2 and 3, and that feeling being "I wonder what this place has to offer and not just pain and frustration".… Expand

C'est à peu près la même chose avec quelques petites différences : le personnage contrôlé est agile désormais et répond docilement aux ordres même si après 3 esquives seulement, il est déjà fatigué ! les monstres eux ne sont jamais fatigués... en plus de réapparâitre sans arrêt. L'ajout d'une arme à feu dans une main tandis que l'autre tient le coupe-coupe standard est une bonne idée pour sonner les ennemis à défaut de les tuer vraiment.

    Enfin, les décors font penser à l'époque du 19ème siècle anglais mais ici uniformément gris et délabrés, tarabiscotés et sinistres. D'un goût assez douteux et répétitif (presque aussi répétitif que peut l'être le 'gameplay'), tortueux et sinueux, ces décors ont malgré tout leur touche personnelle. La technique est en sensible progrès depuis les derniers souls sans être extraordinaire pour autant : il faut dire que tous ces environnements sombres constituent un parfait cache-misère.

    Mais revenons au jeu en lui-même : assurément plus jouable que les Souls si on fait abstraction de la caméra qui soûle (on revient de loin et ce n'est qu'un TPS d'amateurs après tout) il est tout aussi punitif et complètement à l'ouest dans sa gestion de la difficulté : un pauvre monstre peut enlever la moitié de votre barre de vie d'un seul coup et dans ce "jeu" où l'on passe sa vie à mourir, les temps de chargement scandaleusement longs achèvent de vriller les nerfs bien comme il faut.

    C'est fait exprès évidemment ! parce qu'il y a une demande masochiste d'une population blasée et désoeuvrée qui viendra rouler inévitablement des mécaniques à son premier 'boss' tué au bout de la nième tentative... et cela malgré toutes les larmes pour y parvenir. Car on recommence, on recommence, on recommence... jusqu'au par coeur ! c'en est risible et désopilant. Navrant également. Jeunes joueurs aigris , j'ai grande pitié de vous, vous qui ne savez plus apprécier le jeu pour ce qu'il est : un jeu tout simplement.

    Or ce Bloodbored n'en est pas un ! c'est juste un délire de **** groupes dont les besoins sont d'ordre psychiatrique. Continuez donc à limer le Bloodburne jusqu'à plus soif et jusqu'au prochain craquage mais attention à la télé, ce n'est pas sa faute !    … Expand

    A game developer should, in turn, make a game suited for the average player, and not exclusive to the exceptional elite. This is what difficulty settings are for, so that those who wish to test their formidable skill against more challenging obstacles may do so. The rest of us desire power fantasies and escapism, and in this, the developer utterly fails to provide.    … Expand

    Reading all the high reviews on this website and the high scores, I spent a few hours going through forums and trying to find out what the hype was about. What am I missing. Most websites said that you need to be "patient", "expect to die a lot", "get past the first 20 - 30 hours and you will love it".
    I have played 30-40 hours (I have had an operation and laid up on the couch) and I came to the conclusion it is the WORST game I have played by a long way.
    Dont believe the hype.
    It is for a gamer who doesn't mind doing the same levels and killing the same creatures over and over again to the point it is painfully monotonous. For example, the save points are only available after killing a boss. After dying probably 30 - 40 times (remembering all creatures respawn once you die or go back to the hunters dream) trying to find the boss, getting shortcuts and exploring the level, the distance to get to the boss is probably 1 - 2 minutes average after completing the shortcuts. So every time you die trying to beat the boss (most of the time you die frustratingly) you go back to the start and spend the 1 - 2 minutes killing the exact same monsters on the way back to the point again. It is that tedious. You end up killing the same creatures over and over and over and over again. And it is always fun (sarcasm) when one of the creatures that you have killed what feels like a million times, suddenly does this unexpected move and kills you and you have to start all over again....
    Then there is also the headache of when you will be 90 % of a way through a level and have a high level of blood (used for upgrades etc... and you lose them if you die) so you have to retrace your steps alllllll the way back to the starting point to go to the hunters dream to use them. But when you go back, all the creatures you have just killed have respawn.
    And when you find something new, it is generally unimpressive. Upgrading the character is slow and tedious. Bosses are frustratingly hard.
    I keep on see in reviews that it is a game that forces you to be patient which I think they mean by doing monotonous and tedious things hours and hours and hours... I dont find this fun and I find it strange that people think that this is what qualifies as a good game.
    I gave it a one star as the graphics and atmosphere are really good. But absolutely everything else just lets this game down.
    It is a bit late putting in this review but I wanted to put the warning out there to anyone else looking at buying it at this later stage. Save your money. Buy a good game from the many other titles out there.
    Glad to get that off my chest.    … Expand
