    I'm with the others, I bought this because of hype and it looked like a lot of fun, the challenge, the scenery, the 'story'. Being my first souls game I've found my reason why I stayed away. I agree with many that I'm not sure why it is difficult just for the sake of difficult. Wiping on a boss over and over again is not bad, making progress like that is fun!

Being my first souls game I've found my reason why I stayed away. I agree with many that I'm not sure why it is difficult just for the sake of difficult. Wiping on a boss over and over again is not bad, making progress like that is fun! Going and grinding a level or two, I can get down with that, I love classic RPG's like that!

    But...

    Repeating the same thing over and over again when you die? running back far away to the next destination where you've already died 10 times! And killing the same thing over and over again and then having no potions or 'money' to buy anything to help you once you get to the destination? Those are my gripes and they are not fun!

    The game shouldn't be 50 hours because you're repeating the same thing for 40 hours, it should be 50 hours because the game actually has true RPG depth, like story telling, character progression, side stories. Bloodborne has so many awesome things done right in an action/adventure RPG but it is vastly hindered by repetition and forced one way game play...

    If there actually was a save feature this game would be 10 hours, if that. How is that good? These 'Souls' games have SO much potential but it's drowned out by a poor definition of what 'Challenging' means.    … Expand

    Bloodborne seems like it was made for an audience of gamers over a decade ago, brimming with a try-hard art style and cringe-worthy repetitiveness. Penetrate the skin, and you’ve got a serviceable game at the core, but a fifteen-hour journey to the center of what makes Bloodborne good feels more like a voyage to the center of the earth.

    In certain situations the game goes under 30 FPS (which is laughable anyway). 24 FPS when an enemy turned to a werewolf while I was holding a torch. Release this goddam game on PC if you can't make it work on a dedicated piece of ancient piece of plastic crap which is PS4. **** consoles no 60+ FPS.

This is due to the requirement that when a player dies, he must return to a previous point and kill the same respawned enemies all over again. As this game is populated with mini bosses - for the want of a better description - who are mostly overpowered compared to the player, the repetition of the play is downright tedious.
    I am all for a challenging game, but I prefer challenges to be in the form of puzzles, rather than the dumbed down versions achieved by having grossly overpowered enemies at every turn. Throw in the consequence of having to go back and do it all over again if one of them happens to kill you and you have a game that gets old very quickly.
    If it's too hard, perhaps co-op with a friend might ease the anxiety you think, but the co-op in this game is so obscure - like the story - you could be forgiven for thinking that there isn't any. Even then, you need to advance into the game quite a bit before co-op is possible, presuming you can discover how it works.

    Bloodborne had a good shot at excelling. It does not. DS 2 is still a better game than this one.
    This game is very limiting - only a very narrow set of skills will result in a viable build, where's the magic?, dungeons are 80% repeated areas, etc.
    Add in framerate drops at some survival-critical spots, sometimes the crappy camera angle gets you killed, armor that does nearly nothing to keep you alive, snorefest greyscale color pallet, and most annoyingly - the very limited RPG elements almost make this a non-RPG RPG. It will be a travesty if this gets GOTY as some nutjobs are hoping.

    I did a 1 hour back-to-back gameplay comparison last night with Neverwinter MMO (also playing this currently):
    NW - completed a daily raid, got two drops worth using, unlocked new skills, had fun.
    Bloodborne - died 7 times, made very little progress, shook my head and switched back to NW.

    Mediocre game for the price with a lot of hype.

    The mechanic is the simplest of button mashing with a particularly slow and unresponsive avatar, if you guys remember Another World and the first Prince of Persia then remove the puzzle elements and make it 3D then this is what you're looking at. Don't expect God Of War fluidity here. Visually I'm not sure if everyone else is    Mediocre game for the price with a lot of hype.

    Visually I'm not sure if everyone else is experiencing a different game to me, but the enemies are both repetitive and unimaginative, and while the world textures and shaders are OK the geometry is decidedly last generation, this is not a game to wow your PC gamer friends with, heck it's not even a game to wow your PS3 owning friends with.

    On the mechanics, well there's no real sense of satisfaction with this game despite what most reviewers claimed. You kill all the enemies in an area either piecemeal or simply run around and avoid them, and you're just greeted with more of the same. There's not even much of a challenge if you're patient and take your time, it's just kinda dull, and once you've defeated a boss you really don't feel anything other than "oh, ok".

    There's nothing visceral about the operation either, the weapons feel floaty and disconnected, there's no satisfying sound effect or visual effect when you hit your mark, the motion just carries on through and you know that you did your job because the little bar above them goes down. Guns are really only there to distract/attract and separate enemies from the pack, you can also use them for riposte and to stagger an enemy in the middle of their attack, but as a weapon they do next to no damage.

    You will have a hard time finding reason to carry on playing beyond a few hours simply because there's no real reward for continuation. There's scant little narrative and even fewer characters, the world and it's geometry is even more repetitive than the first Infamous city, you will see the same geometry endlessly so there's little visual reward for exploring, the single mechanic of fighting is not exactly a strong point either. Mostly you'll carry on because you invested however much money and you'll be damned if you're not going to get your moneys worth out of it one way or another!

    I gather they built this with a very small team, so I guess you can forgive it's lack of story, visual, UI and mechanical flaws, it's basically a more expensive indie title, and for that it's decent enough. It comes up for free with Playstation Plus then it would definitely be worth downloading as there's at least a decent play length. But it's not worth spending more than perhaps $15 on. It might make a decent IOS game too, in fact that's probably the ideal platform, gameplay and graphics wouldn't suffer at all, the only trouble would be the lack of pause/save, otherwise this could even be a port from an IOS hack & slash game.

    Extreme overyhype. Graphics engine is hardly improved since Dark Souls. Mechanics are not improved since Dark Souls, they are the same. And of course, the first monster you meet is unkillable without dying first and gaining who knows what esoteric knowledge to beat it. Typical FROM.

    Графика хорошая, музыка на высоте, отличный дизайн уровней и монстров. НО: сюжет нужно выдирать из каких-то записок, описаний и т.п. Т.е. въехать что вообще происходит - проблематично. Звук иногда ужасный, например, когда персонаж ходит в воде - на рипите стоит один и тот же короткий звук и никак не меняется. И подобных примеров хватает. Это бесит и отдаёт халтурой.

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
    4) тем, у кого очень много времени и его некуда деть

    Кому не подойдёт:
    1) тем, кто любит интересные сюжеты с персонажами, диалогами, катсценами
    2) тем, у кого мало времени на игры
    3) тем, кто любит сложные игры, но не любит маразматическую сложность, доведённую до абсурда    … 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.

Having played from Demon's Souls to DS3 i thought that this game would be awesome, and it is, to some extent. The graphics are beautiful, the atmosphere is quite good and the gameplay is quite fast, however this is the biggest flaw in this game. The combat is more frenetic and everything is fast, except you. Your character is still a slug compared to other enemies or bosses that can in quick sucession attack you 4-5 times without leaving you space to roll or evade their attacks. Also, this game forces you to fight against multiple enemies the whole time, something that the much despised DS2 do all the time. It's annoying and cheap since you can only lock into one enemy at time, you can't use lock on and hope to attack everyone without any problem, you might get lucky but most of the time you'll end up dead quickly because all enemies in this game are ferocious. Also, your character is just a blind moron that misses his/her attack almost everytime unless you're using the lock on. So most of the time when you have to fight against mobs you'll end up hitting the air more than the enemies themselves. The bosses in this game are boring and yawn-inducing. Not even one of them are actually interesting, which is weird since From never had a lot of problems with boss design. The game also stripped down a lot of RPG elements from Dark Souls or Demon's Souls. Gone are the weight system, the poise and etc. You can still level up your char but you'll end up investing only in three attributes: Vitality, Endurance and Strength because the other attributes don't really make a lot of difference to your character's overall stats. You also have less armor, weapons and items overall, which is disappointing and it feels just a lazy job from FS. You pick one weapon and just keep with it until the end because it's not worth to change it. Of course that the Trick System adds a more interesting interaction with all weapons and also add some strategy to this game. There's also magic, which is called Arcane here, but i never used and as far as i'm concerned is really gimmicky and just ridiculous, it doesn't work like it works in DS or Demon's Souls. The game is quite short and the journey itself is quite forgettable. I'm sure that most people don't ever come back again to this game after finishing it once or twice because of the length of the campaign, the scarcity of weapons and armors and etc. You can't create dozens of different builds because of the attributes limitations. The only thing that you can change is your weapon, the rest is just unecessary unless you want a big challenge playing with an only-arcane build or only-firearm build or whatever...One thing that this game does quite well, though, it's killing you with cheap deaths. The sensation that i had while playing this game, specially at the last half of it, is the same feeling that i had while playing DS2, which is not a good thing. Simply put, the game starts quite hard but because the enemies are just too strong and the fact that BB forces you to use the "parry" attacks (here know as visceral attacks) makes the game harder and just an annoying festival of hit and miss attacks with wrong timed-shots happening almost everytime. After a while you start to upgrade your weapon and the firearm becomes almost useless to a extent. But after halfway throught the game you'll start to see something changing: Enemy placement. It seemed that FromSoftware wanted to use the same strategy as Yui did and decided to just place a bunch of enemies everywhere just to kill you over and over again. You'll start to see how hard the game becomes out of nowhere. You'll be surrounded and destroyed by 2 or 3 attacks from 4 or 5 enemies at once. This is not an exaggeration. If you pay attention to the game you'll see that almost never you'll experience framerate drops, but at the end of the game this will start to happen almost the whole time, because of how much enemies the developers put into a single area, just pay attention and you'll see.

    With a short campaign, uninspiring bosses, frustrating gameplay mechanics, less weapons, less armor, less optiions, less RPG and more hack and slash and cheap deaths, BloodBorne it's an annoying brat who wants all attention and everytime you have to let it win because he wants. It's a bad game and i'm reallyyyyy disappointed to spend my money with this game and its DLC. Just stick with DS3 on your PS4 and you'll be fine.    … 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

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.

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

    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

    I spent a few days straight playing this game to become op, and when I go to do my first chalice ritual, I get shoved in a stupid fn place that isn't completely loaded in, and all I can do is either go into an unloaded room with a dragon and get killed by invisible NPCs, or go up an invisible ramp and fall through the Earth until I close the game.

    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!

    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.

    I beated on my first try on my first game on ps4 god of war on highest difficulty and I really enjoyed god of war difficulty.

    I like this Bloodborne game for its combat, climate. I hate this game for making you "run" to bosses. Yes, you can find shortcuts and make it a bit faster. 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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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 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.

    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
