    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 replayed this game 2 times to have a chance to change my rating and my thoughts about this game didn't change.… Expand

    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

    The graphics are awful on ps5 and it looks disgusting compared to other games that released around the same time like Dragon Age: Inquisition and The Witcher 3.

    I've played all souls games and this was the most problematic, bugged fromsoftware game to this date. the game runs at 20fps and even lower in some parts and crashed on my face several times. one of them crashed so hard that I had to take the power cord oit from the ps4 to reboot it. overrated garbage.

    I would absolutely enjoy this game, but it's the only game I want to play from the PS4, so I do not want to spend at least $200 to buy a magical box for just one game. Port this to PC for the love of god!

    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. You cant defend Rom either.Every single boss is a tedious slog. Most overated nonsense of all time. Sigh. Tried to come back to it.

    it's generally too hard, i really wanted to enjoy this but there is generally too many flaws and the most overrated game ive ever seen. 6-7/10 at most, but im giving it a 2 to even out, because people that gives this game a 0 are idiots, because that is what you should give a game if it wont load up, otherwise at least 1/10.

Antialiasing is just terrible and cause eyes bleeding. Yes it is difficult but difficult not like sekiro where you need to learn and comprehend consistent controlling system to master the game and enjoy it. 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. But sekiro is good so i guess bloodborne was required step to acheive what they achieved now… Expand

    Oh my God. How the hell has a game with such floaty controls got a score like this. 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.

    Not for me.    … Expand

Drab, boring aesthetic. All the cool looking bosses are too big to see. Easiest game by far - because you gain health back from attacking so you can literally r1 spam and never die. 0/10 would never beat it again. Was super boring beating the first time. Play dark souls 2 instead.… Expand

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. Graphics are great, and yes, loading times are MISERABLE, but I didn't find any of the glitches a lot of reviews have talked about.
