    Имхо игра не очень, мне не сильно понравилась, не знаю почему, но у меня не вызвала эта игра таких эмоций как другие соулс лайки, но всё-таки рекомендую попробовать.

    I finally played this game 8 years after its release, right after Elden Ring, a masterpiece maybe in 2014, but for 2022 it's just a decent game.

    gameplay: 8
    visuals: 6.5
    story: 6
    sound design: 5
    acting: 8.5
    music: 9.5

    is a pleasant alternative to Dark Souls. At least that's what I thought at first. After years I finally got this game to get an impression for myself. And my aversion was almost palpable.

    Bloodborne is comparable to Dark Souls 1 and 2 in terms of the speed of gameplay and the variety of fighting methods. The only thing worth mentioning are the "trick weapons" that bring in individuality. Otherwise, Bloodborne, like the Souls series, has a very bad level design, let alone world building. The maps puked us after the first NG, luckily you can rush them in a few minutes.

    Positive points.
    - Different weapons
    - Several possibilities to create your character build
    - Enormously large space for healing potions
    - Warehouse
    - Helpful community in terms of dungeons and messages.

    Negatives.
    - Most of the bosses
    - Bad FPS on some bosses (especially Loran the Darkbeast)
    - You often have to farm HP potions in NG 0 until they become meaningless at some point.
    - Map design is bad and monotonous

    There is also our personal boss ranking, which was created after several NG ++ processes depending on the strength of the opponent.

    30. Witch of Hemwick

    1/10
    28.Micolash, host of the Nightmare
    - Deserved place as the most hated boss.
    1.5 / 10

Yharnam, Pthumerian Queen - Exceptionally pleasant boss, but weak. 4/10 17. Vicar Amelia - Way too much HP in the early game and terribly bad design and gameplay. Generally too easy. 4/10 16. Rome, the Vacuous Spider - Most creative Spider Boss in Souls Games so far. 5/10 15. Shadow of Yharnam - definition of a bad boss - 5/10 14. Undead Giant - Bad boss 5/10 13. Gehrman, The First Hunter - At first he looked impressive. If you look at it correctly, he is an unsuccessful PvP boss who can do nothing. 5/10 12. One reborn - Who makes such bosses? Seriously? Which trainee was that. 5/10 11. Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos - Run around and hit your butt like always. 5.5 / 10 10. Headed Bloodletting Beast Nothing worth mentioning typical 0815 boss - 5.5 / 10 9. Martyr Logarius - Visually appealing. Not from difficulty. 5.5 / 10 8. Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower - An excellent boss and, as it should be, they only learned something new in the DLC. - 6.5 / 10 7. Watchdog of the Old Lords - If you have no idea, you just take 50% HP off, so that the fight becomes harder. - 7/10 6. Loran Darkbeast - Who can hit this thing? Blunt gun is still the solution. 7/10 5. Ludwig, the Holy Blade - Very visually appealing. Gameplay only good in the second stage. 7/10 4. Laurence, the First Vicar - Pure garbage and copy & paste boss with fire - 7.5 / 10 3. Amygdala (chalice) - A monster as big as the whole room with endless range and only 50% maximum HP allowed. Another fall of no creativity. 8/10 2. Orphan of Kos - Best boss in gameplay, very well done. - 8/10 1.

That's the difficulty of this game, not the dying when fighting difficult enemies. Sure, you die some fighting hordes of mobs too a bit. One of the stupid things that there's no collision mechanics between them. You get to explore map that is boring and ugly. Mediocre crap for emo kids.

I guess when a game gets a lot of acclaim I have to give it a try. The game is awesome looking. I can't say the camera angles have improved much in gaming as there are still weird angles making some boss battles more difficult than they should be. I will say now that I will most likely not finish the game despite the great story and epic goth scenery. I am giving it a 7 due to, no shock here, the inability to adjust difficulty. You either live video games or you use them as brief escapes from an otherwise busy life. If you have a job and a wife or girlfriend, you likely don't have time to devote to games like this as the difficulty level requires many many hours of gameplay in order to "git gud". It is obviously the preference of the game designer, but I think the old school approach of having an easy mode that is truly easy is a way to make your game more accessible to the middle-age gamer that is limited on time. I know I would love this game if I could just relax with it for an hour a day and get into the groovy graphics and storyline, but since that is not an option I feel that I can not truly enjoy the experience. Like I said, the decision to add easy mode is up to the developer, however I would think From would want to sell as many copies as possible and I know many casual gamers who won't touch Souls or this due to the extreme difficulty. I know fans of the game say that From is staying strong for not adding an easy mode, but is that really true? If you want to get your booty kicked, then you will choose normal mode and let the booty-kicking begin. At any rate, I love the game. I watch videos of the gameplay just to enjoy the story and killer graphics. however, a 7 is where I am parking the rating. I did not like the Souls games, and this is enough of a departure from them to have me interested. I never really felt into the story of the Souls games - which I also did not finish for reasons listed above. This game is different. It is easy to see why it is receiving such acclaim.… Expand

    Bloodborne is vastly overrated. The game is repetitive and boring with little variance. Every enemy in the game basically requires the same strategy, attack and dodge and THATS IT.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bloodborne is one of the best games I've played. The game has very few issues, but they were glaring flaws.

    Game Play: While at times I found my character overly handicapped, the end result is a smooth and realistic combat delivery system. It feels good to get it right. My only complaint is that some areas get monotonous because of this. I kind of look at it like a film, you do a scene over and over again until you get it right. Or until that guy finally drops what you wanted him to drop. 9/10

    Graphics: Excellent look and feel. The rag doll physics were a little silly at times and the templates for Central Yarnham were recycled to the limit. I would have liked a little more variety but that's me nitpicking. 8/10

    Story: There is no actual story to this game. I'd call it lore, or premise. This is because the narrative is expressed through 'Easter Egg' texts found through out the game and the ramblings of the boss you're fighting. Here are a few gems:

    "As you once did for the vacuous Rom, grant us eyes, grant us eyes. Plant eyes on our brains, to cleanse our beastly idiocy."

    "...Beasts all over the shop... You'll be one of them, sooner or later..."

    Those quotes are not choice picks. Every story element in this game is horribly cryptic and sometimes embarrassing. On the bright side this appeals to some. But giving this game credit for the story isn't fair.
    2/10

    Multiplayer: PVP can be exciting provided your opponent is fair and takes you on mono e mono. However it can be equally frustrating when the little vulture stays out of your range and sneak attacks while you're busy with another mob. Co-Op is nice but stacking more handicaps on a cripple can stifle the fun. I preferred the single player experience but credit is definitely due. 7/10

    Difficulty: It was refreshing to see a game that required you to play by it's rules. You don't see that much anymore. While more forgiving than the classics like Galaga and Pac-Man, BloodBorne is consistent enough to convince people that the game is too hard or people who play by the rules have "got gud."
    My biggest complaint is the poor tutorial hints in the beginning. It felt like a wet handshake. It seemed like they wanted to go ICO but caved at the last second. 8/10

    Replayability: This is a mixed bag. The game is designed to be played through at least 3 times. I found myself unable to finish the second time around. While I enjoyed my time with BloodBorne the game didn't leave an impact on me. For some I'm glad it did. But I think I'm in the majority when I say this game doesn't have too many layers. You don't need a princess to save but at least tell me my character lost his family to beasts when he was young, or any incentive really. 5/10

    In the End: Bloodborne is a great game that could have been amazing. The frame rate issues that people cry about never effected my experience, and the load times have been greatly reduced. Aside from the story my gripes would be pretty small. For the full experience you need to read up on the game or be clairvoyant. Examples of this would be getting killed by a snatcher to progress to a certain area or eating umbilical cords. If you figured this stuff out on your own that's great. Trust me you are in the minority.

    I may change my tune with the release of BloodBorne 2. Combined the games may make a complete narrative.    … Expand

Don't just automatically assume any game with critical acclaim is a quality title. I write this review as I lost 2 hours worth or "Blood Echoes" after already becoming sick of the game from the 3 hours worth of "Blood Echoes" I lost the last time I played. The game isn't like a good RPG where you gain experience at a decent pace and have realistic opportunities to save your progress. No instead you are constantly tensed up fighting enemies that give you virtually no experience to work with which you can instantly lose because the enemy difficulty level is ridiculously unforgiving. I've played video games for over 15 years and usually a game with an unbalanced difficulty level and unfair challenge is regarded as a failure. It isn't fun to spawn, walk 20 steps, encounter a group of eneimes you can barely beat if you tease their aggression radius, then walk 20 more steps to die to an enemy ambush you could never have predicted, then spawn again in a panicked attempt to get all the levels you grinded for, and die again without ever recovering them. Why is it then that the Bloodborne and Dark Souls series gets a pass when no other game does? That's not to say its all bad, as the combat is uniquely satisfying when you can actually stand a chance. Its really the only thing that kept me coming back to give the game a second chance. But then I'd instantly remember why I couldn't stand the game again, because I'd walk the same 20 steps I'd walked 10 times over and die again. I'm sure there is something I'm missing that might make the game more enjoyable, but if there is its too cryptic for me to find and thus again would be bad game design. I get that a game needs a challenge to be fun, and I'm sure for many Bloodborne is the pinnacle of a good challenge they have been waiting for. But if you are like me and only have so much time to devote to gaming each day and prefer games that you can actually progress in, you will probably just feel frustrated and cheated out of the money you spent. However if you enjoy walking down the same corridor 10 different times doing the same thing till you get lucky and progress, Bloodborne is perfect for you.… Expand

    Su atmosfera no es mi estilo, entiendo que haya gente que prefiera el gotico y lo emo, y la historia super depresiva con su infinita sangre, sangre y mas sangre, pero los niveles que son plataformas exageradamente adornadas no concuerda con nada, me refiero a una ciudad un pueblo, esta es la plaza estas son las viviendas el sistema de desague, que ciudad tiene una escalera de 50 o 60 metros, hay cosas sin sentido por todos lados. No quiere esto decir que los diseños no tengan su puente fuerte el hecho de que todas las plataformas esten conectadas es una indea genial, pero la forma en que corta el acceso a esas areas si me parece deficiente una reja, un pequeño muro, y en este punto quiero hacer el comparendo con un assassin creed en donde todo se puede explorar todo, Ademas si es una reja lo que me impide el paso porque no la vuelo en mil pedazos (el dia que eso pase en un vidiojuego sera increible) o me pueda colar por una ventana o pueda abrir la puerta que se me de la gana, lo unico que hace falta es ser un poco mas creativo en esos segmentos, ejemplo porque carajos una puerta de madera en el hospital no la puedo partir a hachazos pero si pueda romper cajas por todo el pueblo o criptas en el cementerio.
    una cosa importante no se puede cancelar un kombo, si el movimiento del arma se ejecuta en un lapso de 2 segundos no se puede interumpir, asi que me tengo que comer el daño de un enemigo habiendo tenido la intencion de esquivar, obviamente se generan dos formas una dar jugar golpes cortos y esquive o golpes fuertes y largos distanciados, eso y aprenderse todos los patrones del enemigo, no se puede solo improvisar no tengo que saber todos los movimientos y saber donde me puedo ubicar, es aburrido si se juega asi, me vi un gameplay un speedrun y lo unico que se hizo en todo el juego fue en potenciar el ataque con dos items y coordinarse con el enemigo, ninguno duraba mas de unos minutos, y yo me pregunto es este un juego dificil, no, es un juego simple con unas daños por los enemigos desmesurados con un gameplay obsoleto, es como jugar tennis con los pies, claro que es dificil, pero no por eso es justo o equilibrado, y no por ser dificil es un buen juego, queria que de verdad me gustara este juego y lo he terminado como unas diez veces incluyendo el dlc, que mejoro un poco con las armas pero nada mas.

    Hay un detalle mas y es que un golpe de un enemigo te persigue hasta el ultimo segundo, son solo pocos instantes que se tiene para esquivar, es como si estuvieran programandos para girar en cualquier direccion, aunque sea fiscamente imposible, pero a quien le importa verdad? no hay forma de esquivarlo de manera lateral siempre es hacia atras, incluso los jefes parecen ser unos p... trompos o licuadoras que reparten a diestra.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game grabs you so hard in the beginning, you would have a hard time breathing, then...slowly you get to know the route and the mechanism, some people would probably give up early (there's a small boss around the corner in the very beginning of the game, there's no reward killing the boss, the fight can be really tough because you fight in a cramped place and the boss hits very hard...if you are new to soul games, I advice you come back later for this one).

    The atmosphere is almost disturbing, even after you get familiar with it, I do not recommend you to play a long session before sleep, it can be nightmare inducing, because you would take a lot of time doing the same thing over and over again...in this kind of Gothic atmosphere, you became absorbed.

    Now after you downed the first boss, it's a great feeling, the feeling the game is all about, until you got stuck with the next boss...

    Overall, it's a good game but also has it's problem, mostly from it's engine

    - The game runs on a very inefficient engine, with very basic physics, PS4 PRO should run it on 60PFS
    - The controls can be very bulky, when you fight some quick boss, you will find it out, the lantency in the control combined with camera angle problem    … Expand

    Here are my thoughts after finishing the main story and the DLC.

    Good: + boss fights are satisfying, even epic in some cases + difficulty is well balanced, the game is hard but not unfair + OSTs are really good + like in Souls games the story/lore is interesting but mostly hidden, so there's room for the players to discuss and speculate Bad: - the world is rather repetitive    Here are my thoughts after finishing the main story and the DLC.

    Good:

    + difficulty is well balanced, the game is hard but not unfair
    + OSTs are really good
    + like in Souls games the story/lore is interesting but mostly hidden, so there's room for the players to discuss and speculate

    Bad:

    - the world is rather repetitive and monochromatic. Everything is dark, gory and disturbing, with very few exceptions (the DLC is way better in this respect)
    - the combat feels a little laggy and clunky, probably due to the low frame rate
    - scenarios are well detailed but feel "empty", there's barely any secret or chance of interaction
    - gameplay gets repetitive after a while. The only interesting mechanic is the parry/riposte with the fire gun, which is highly effective but needs to be mastered (that's not a bad thing)
    - a big portion of the story/lore is revealed in the chalice dungeons, which are procedurally generated. As a result, every floor looks the same and has the same rooms. I quit after beating the Watchdog, because I couldn't stand it anymore

    Conclusions: boss battles and story/lore are what kept me interested until the end. Everything else either disappointed me or left me unimpressed. I give it a 6 (5 points for the main game and 1 bonus point for the DLC, which is by far the best part of the game IMO). If you really like the kind of atmosphere this game delivers, you'll probably enjoy it a lot more than me.    … Expand

    I absolutely love all the Souls out there... but for some reason I'm not really into this one. The framerate is for sure one of the reasons. I just can't play this after the DS remake which runs at 60fps, the difference is too much, especially for a title that is publicized as fast-paced.

    It's only getting a 7 for me as I was not able to play DLC. Why you ask? It's because straight away after defeating a last boss you are being thrown to ng+ without option to backtrack. Therefore I didn't want to play again same area and face way too challenging for my level DLC.
    It's a stupid design and ruin the DLC for me.

    Story and setting is interesting, but the poor framerates even on PS5 makes this unplayable for me. I get headaches after playing just 30 minutes. (happens only with Bloodborne) I firmly believe people are forgiving so much crap in Bloodborne just because it's From Software title.
    Until 60fps option, it's a 6 for me.

    Bloodborne is my favorite game but it has 3 serious faults: The first is the video camera operated with the ass, the second are the hunters as they have infinite bullets and stamina and are of level much higher than yours, the third is that the enemies you can hit through the objects for the rest is very beautiful.

    Just for heads up, I finished all Dark Souls and Elden Ring.

In Dark Souls 1 you have the constant feeling of finally overcoming yourself playing a difficult game, exploring a scary world (after all, at any moment you can die    Just for heads up, I finished all Dark Souls and Elden Ring.

    That said, I want to talk about Bloodborne. Over the years the Souls franchise has grown on me with each of its main games having a different gameplay objective. In Dark Souls 1 you have the constant feeling of finally overcoming yourself playing a difficult game, exploring a scary world (after all, at any moment you can die and lose everything, scary in that sense). The exploration is immense, insane, farming in this game is just SOMETHING.

    In Dark Souls 2, you take everything I've said, and put a melancholy setting à la Berserk, with incredible mechanics, weapons, builds, spells and everything else varied than in Dark Souls 1, there are indeed disadvantages such as movement, but that adjusts as you play.

    In Dark Souls 3 they managed to reach the absolute level of all three games, perfection from start to finish, Hidetaka Miyazaki's magnum opus. Dark Souls 3 refuses to die, it has cutscenes, enemies, BOSSES, and an importance to the world of games that I can't imagine anything even like it; perhaps in terms of importance we can mention the Halo franchise.

    In Elden Ring they managed to go above and beyond, everything from the voice acting to the open world, the first and the last boss, Elden Ring went beyond everyone's expectations, a singleplayer game whose fame is the envy of Western developers, who in their arrogance and idiocy cannot understand the magnitude of this masterpiece, a replay factor maybe as big as Dark Souls 1, I could spend hours talking about this game.

    So, we go back to 2014 with Bloodborne, a game built on top of some bad choices that keep it stuck at 30 frames until today. Its style and setting, along with its sad story and depressing endings, have made Bloodborne the game for many. The question here is: Where exactly does it fit into Miyazaki's games? The answer is: Nowhere. Bloodborne is unique, it's visceral, yet... What I see in Bloodborne is that its bosses don't have much emotional appeal (you remember Artorias, right?). Its health item farming system is a bit degraded for those coming from other Miyazaki games, in addition to being extremely easy to break the game's difficulty (I didn't do that, but everyone knows c*mmmfpk-style dungeons).
    Its parry system is insane but confusing, you don't know which enemies you can parry, but you know you can, which ends up causing most people to just fire a thousand times until the timing is right.

    Bloodblorne's lore is as impeccable as ever, following a sad but engaging plot, although to know it you'll probably have to watch videos and thus better understand what you're doing in the next gameplay only. Gehrman is a great final boss, yet things like his theme music and steep setting make his level drop in comparison (Nashandra, Soul of Cinder, Radagon...)

    In summary, I believe that Bloodborne is a solid 7, with its highs above its lows, but always a solid 7 that would certainly have been more successful if ported to other platforms like PC and Xbox (On Xbox it could be running at 60 Frames, as it happened with Dark Souls 3).    … Expand

    Game looks good. Same old repetitive combat and encounters, they never improve the inventory or user interface. You would think that a game that will have you die this much would at least get the load times down. Still, waiting for at least 30 seconds to load back into a game. Why can't they get this right?

    I loved Dark Souls, but Bloodborne just didn't click with me. Must be because I am not a fan of a Victorian/Lovecraft style, and I do not like Resident Evil -ish gore (it's just weird and gross, not scary). Unfortunately, this game seems to have a lot of both. Also, level design seems a bit too messy: rubbish everywhere, no clean forms, everything is grey. Meh.

    My main issue with the game though is the lack of storyline and the randomness of the drops/loot...its impossible to know what most of that stuff is without resorting to looking it up in forums on the internet...to me that's poor gameplay. The graphics are good though, and the atmosphere is excellent.
    I read that people found it difficult...I didn't think it was particularly, and once I'd got to around 25 vitality and strength, it was remarkably easy with the hunter axe I thought, especially some of the bosses (Rom, Paarl, Ebrietus, Mergo and Moon presence were especially simple). I did like father Gascoigne, Gehrman and Logarius on top of Cainhurst Castle though.
    Having finished the game and been presented with a NG+, after finishing all the way though to Vicar Amelia again, I gave up...i found it too tedious to go all the way through again. In fact I found much of the game pretty tedious from the outset...mostly due to lack of information to keep me engaged, as as noted earlier the distinct lack of story was a major shortfall I thought.
