    Excelente juego. Fantástico. Una obra de arte. Excelente historia. Los escenarios divinos. El juego muy demandante de observación. Error y acierto. Falla y acierto. Morir mil veces para entender la esencia del juego.

    Bloodborne è uno dei migliori action rpg souls-like mai creati. Forse la miglior esclusiva su ps4 e uno dei tanti capolavori di Miyazaki e From Software. Must play.

    El Souls Like de la época victoriana de parte de la gente de From Software que hace las delicias de los fieles seguidores de este género, ambientación opresiva, banda sonora bestial y una jugabilidad exquisita, acaso se necesita más?, desde luego Lovecraft estaría orgulloso.

    Atmosphere, tone, presentation and gamplay are all top notch in this title. The only reason im not giving this game a 10 is because nothing is perfect!

    El juego perfecto. La excelencia. El techo de la industria tanto jugablemente, como visualmente, como sonoramente. Todo. El imprescindible entre imprescindibles. Gracias fromsoftware y Sony por hacerme sentir con este videojuego lo mismo que sentí cuando jugué a Pokemon por primera vez con 9 años y devolverme esa ilusión por los videojuegos. Gracias, de corazón.

    Great video game. One of the best ones ever made. The review contains basic information about the story which shouldn't be considered spoiler. If you are too sensitive about it, If you want to jump in completely blind, don't read it.

    The game is not hard but challenging. Except some rare occasions, game has solid rules and after understanding them you just overcome it. This is my first    Great video game. One of the best ones ever made. The review contains basic information about the story which shouldn't be considered spoiler. If you are too sensitive about it, If you want to jump in completely blind, don't read it.

    The game is not hard but challenging. Except some rare occasions, game has solid rules and after understanding them you just overcome it. This is my first souls game. I loved it so much, I just bought a physical copy even if I had it for free with psn plus.

    A lot of people complain about the repetitive enemies. I kinda agree with them but game has just enough challenge. Having more enemies with new attack patterns might be hard and suck the enjoyment out from the game for the first play through. Thinking about it, since i know the game very well it might be fun to have extra challenge but as i said, first play through is important. I don't know if I want to complain about it.

    Most of the people complain about story. There is a story and it is seriously good. I just cannot stop reading new theories. The style of the story telling is kinda odd especially if it is your first souls game but it adds a lot of mystery to the game which makes it more lovecraftian than it is. More than %99 of the games just tell the story anyway. Lets have something different. Lets think about wtf happened there after each area and explore and think about every part of the map. After doing this, there are more than enough elements to understand the story structure. Let me give you a little example here: After you are done in Central Yarnham what do you know about the game?

    -You are sick and came here to find a cure.
    -There are mostly humanoids at the streets.
    -There is a crucified werewolf, burning.
    -There is Father Gascoigne.
    -There is Cleric Beast.

    What do they tell you? The humanoids hunted the werewolf which is considered sick. Humanoids hunted them when they were humans, not when they are like this because 2 werewolves on the bridge don't attack the one humanoid on the stairs leads to the bridge. Therefore, we can assume something happened to them while the hunt is happening. Father Gascoigne is not a town folk but a legitimate, half-sane hunter (you can tell by the weapons) and you can see the transformation in front of you.

    What you learned here? There is a disease / curse. You are fighting with it. Wtf is Cleric Beast then? It is another story to investigate at the next area.

    I don't even talked about the NPCs at the area. Considering them, the story is more clear.

    I had experienced this kind of story telling for the first time and I loved it. It was kinda challenging itself and I loved it. If there was a guy telling me everything I solved myself, it would be just another story. Well; if you think about it, it is just a intergalactic vampire story but it narrated very well.

    What else... Yeah, graphics... I don't know what to tell. There are very rare areas when I felt something is wrong like stairs inside the cathedral leading to Vicar Amelia has some space shows the skybox. Other than those stuff, it was the best looking game I have ever played. Not because it was ultra realistic but because of the style. Even games like Death Stranding will look old someday but games with style like Bloodborne will always be its own thing.

    I haven't write these to mock anyone. My only purpose to encourage people to give it a shot. If you don't like the game, so be it but never think it is not fair and you cannot do it. You can....

    The game is not a 10 for me. No game is and probably no game will ever be. But it is more than 9.5 so wouldn't be fair to give a 9.    … Expand

    Dark, unforgiving, and glorious, is what this game is all about. If you haven't played Soulsborne games, i recommend you to play this game first. Yes, you'll die, like a lot. But the satisfaction after killing one boss is the one experience you can't get in any game ever. We hope From Software made the sequel from this game!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the best game I've ever played, amazing combat, amazing story, even better atmosphere. The thing that really impressed me apart from the incredibly interconnected levels that loop back when you never expect, there's also just a crazy amount of optional content here. Levels that I didn't even know existed until after I had finished my first play through. And you'll definitely want more, even after the game ends you'll want it to keep going. Luckily there is more content, the game has a DLC pack, "The Old Hunters" which is well worth the $20. You get 4 and a half new bosses (one of the bosses is a retread of a previous one from the base game but he has a new second phase). Plus three additional areas and a plethora of new weapons. My only real criticism of the game is that the Chalice Dungeons, which are procedurally generated content, are entirely optional and very easy to miss. Which is a shame because they're a lot of fun and you have to complete them to get the game's Platinum trophy. The complaint is that if you go the whole game without touching them, you will out-level them and going through them with essentially no challenge is never fun. A few other minor issues here and there, like some disappointing boss fights and the occasional need to farm do hurt the game, but not nearly enough for me to never not enjoy myself while playing it.… Expand

    The best PS4 game BY FAR. It is truely a masterpiece and even though RPG elements are a bit inferior to Dark Souls, the art style, difficulty and gameplay are far superior. The DLC is worth every penny and the bosses are brutal. Ludwig is IMO the most difficult in the Souls-Borne series, especially in NG+.

    Now, this was my first FromSoftware game. It looked cool, so despite the difficulty I figured I'd give it a go. It is often described as "tough but fair" which is a stretch. Most enemies can kill you in a few hits and are often placed just off camera. Some bosses feel very unfair, but every one can eventually be beaten. Sometimes that just requires hours of grinding and researching the right weapons and builds that work. Not necessarily the best game design, but I can understand why people like the feeling of accomplishment it gives you.

    The main problems that I have are not as widely advertised. One-You can't pause the game, even when offline. People have lives and it's bad enough to have to be laser focused on a boss battle while your wife is trying to talk to you. Major points off for this unnecessary design decision.

    Second and most importantly-What starts as a promising and cool story that sucks you right in really goes off the rails half way through. I was enthralled by Yarnham's districts and excited to see the Forbidden Woods that hid Byrgenworth College and Cainhurst Castle. Each avenue seemed to have a neat little sub section or shortcut.

    Then, the game devolves in to dream levels where it's just trying to be more and more gruesome and weird. Nothing feels connected and you just seem to teleport from one place to the next. By the end of the game it is almost required to watch a Youtube video explaining the story and it still makes little sense. It feels way to artsy and self indulgent.

    I did still put a ton of time into this game and enjoyed quite a bit of it, but i think it gets a lot of high scores that may not mention any flaws except the difficulty.

    Edit: I decided to change my review score after reading "The Paleblood Hunt" by Redgrave. That essay explains the lore of Bloodborne and should absolutely be required reading after finishing the game.

The start of the game when you don't understand the combat very well yet it's very punishing. There wouldn't be a problem with that except the bloodvials whitch is a consumable in the game that you heal with. If you're out then you have to go farming which is sometimes annoying however i didn't have that big of a problem with that, but i wanted to mention it. There are an incredible variety of weapons and builds that you can do as well whitch makes re-playability very good. The boss design is pretty good hoever there are some "filler" bosses but the larger number of them are again very good.

    Story:

    I read up some of the story and it's interesting, but it defenetly worsens the ability of the player to immerse themselves in the game that the story is not that accessible from the game itself beacuse its that hidden.

    Atmoshphere and Music:

    Everyone told me to play this game. It was my very first FromSoftware game, and having no experience from their pasts games I expected to have a hard time with it.

    So, did it live up to the hype? Yeah! I really enjoyed it, infact, at times I expected it to be more difficult, but overall I think that it's fairly challenging, it knows when to punish you and it knows when to reward you.

    I loved the gameplay, it's extremely fun, with some creative mechanics, but sometimes the hitboxes are unpredictable. The first area is quite rough but once you manage to understand how some of the mechanics work, then it's just a joy to play.

    The worldbuilding is breathtaking, and the way the world changes when you have more insight is absolutely genius. There's a lot of content, exploring the different areas, uncovering secrets, finding shortcuts, interacting with the characters, completing side stories and taking your time with the game feels very rewarding.

    The atmosphere is unrivaled, it's scary & haunting but also beautiful in a very dark way.
    I absolutely adore the Gothic-Cosmic Horror theme and the Victorian-era inspired architecture, possibly my favorite setting in a videogame.

    The monsters look terrifying, some very interesting designs, and nice symbolisms, I personally killed every single boss - even the optional bosses - and I can say that there are some few tedious bosses but most of them are fun, and require strategy.

    The Blood Vial farming is very obnoxious in the beginning, but it's not a big issue once you progress halfway through the game. Having to manage your resources becomes more of a secondary distraction because if you play well, you'll not really need to use healing items, or Blood Echoes.

    Now, where the game disappointed me a tiny bit, is the storytelling, I don't mind games that don't explain the story very much, but this game has no build-up at all, and while I think the core story is great, it lacks impact, and if you want to learn why some things are happening, then you'll need to read assumptions & theories from fans which aren't confirmed to be canon, and you'll end up not having an actual answer.

    Fortunately the fantastic lore does make up for it, it's very intriguing & rich, full of mini stories.
    Overall I enjoyed this game, and I think it's an amazing game, especially if you're a fan of the Soulsborne genre, it's very close to perfection.    … Expand

Designing a game to be challenging and fun, and making the process of learning from failures and progressing fun as well, must be really hard to do, because I can think of few games that nail the fusion of world design and challenge as well as this one does. I have had few experiences as satisfying as getting wrecked by a boss repeatedly at first only to administer a flawless, grade A beat down to them later on. Farming for healing items sucks, but otherwise I like how healing works. The DLC is also a must for anyone who enjoys the main game. Its so good I imagine most who bought it simply consider it part of the main game anyway.    … Expand

El combate fue modificado a uno más dinámico y ágil, eliminando los escudos para darnos armas con truco que complementan el gameplay, como también podremos transformarlas para hacerlas más contundentes y mejorar su efectividad contra diversos enemigos. Todavía se conservan la posibilidad de hacer diferentes builds dependiendo de nuestras preferencias aunque lamentablemente hay muy poca variedad de todo en general. Para personas que no se busquen complicar la vida a la hora de decidir esto puede ser bueno, también ahora podremos recuperar una parte de nuestra barra de salud intercambiando golpes con el enemigo, haciendo el combate más frenético de lo que es, la ambientación es muy inmersiva, haciendo sentir una sensación de terror y ansiedad, con el diseño tan espeluznante de sus ubicaciones. A veces estas nos pueden transmitir muchas cosas si prestamos atención, sinceramente bloodborne tiene la mejor ambientación que yo he visto en un videojuego. Y posee un apartado artístico realmente increíble. Hablando sobre su online ahora funciona con campanas que personalmente no me terminan de convencer. También agregaron los calices que funcionan como mazmorras infinitas las cuales pueden alargar la vida del juego al infinito. Pero lamentablemente estas son muy repetitivas y a veces tediosas, y fuera de la posibilidad de farmear no tienen más utilidad. Esto último es algo completamente prescindible que no es necesario a menos que tengas algo de curiosidad. No cabe duda alguna que bloodborne es el mejor exclusivo de la ps4, y un juegazo sin duda alguna, si tienes una ps4 este juego es imprescindible.… Expand

The bosses are awesome, greusome nightmare-beasts. Some of rhe monsters and settings skeeve me out and still give me chills. And the DLC is some of the best content in the game, with awesome new weapons and one of the most difficult but most fun boss battles in the entire SoulsBorne set.

    The one and only mark I have against this game is its "Chalice Dungeons", randomly generated content-padding that you NEED to go through to get all the achievements and SHOULD go through if you want the best upgrade materials for your weapons. These areas are tedious, time-consuming, and monotonous.

    Despite that looming black mark, Bloodborne remains a top 10 game for me, between its fun combat and Lovecraftian worldbuilding.    … Expand

The game shows some signs of aging in terms of graphics, as expected, but it still looks so immersive and unnerving! The combat, this time, was miles away from what I experienced in Elden Ring, and I actually prefer the former over the later. Not that I'm very skilled at timing my visceral attacks, but the dashes were generous and it took very little to end up at the backside of my adversary or quickstepping away from harm. It was a game of patience and I had lots to spare. The story had the cryptic nature I was expecting from a FromSoft title, but it was intelligible, sort of. The bosses were all memorable, but the one wielding the sword I wanted will forever hold his special place in my heart. Now let me tell you about the soundtrack. It was the best, most high quality soundtrack I ever listened in a videogame. It has standalone value. The dark and somber melancholy meeting a bombastic orchestral rampage filled all my needs of post-gameplay depression. One day I will come back to that hunters dream, and revisit all that abject beauty once more. Until then, this will stay up there with Elden Ring, as one of my favorite titles.… Expand
