    BLOODBORNE is a masterpiece of video game narrative. Nothing else even comes close. The story is brutal, challenging, bold, and almost never "fun". It is harrowing, forcing the player to confront violence in a way video games never do. In a medium where everything is John Wick, BLOODBORNE is Schindler's List.

    And just like that film, there were times when I wasn't sure I could keep going. It is a relentless emotional assault that I suspect will force even the most jaded gamer to feel empathy. The game is a work of art - every aspect feels crafted at the highest level. Visuals, audio, controls, animation, level design, performance. It is astounding. And frequently beautiful.

    With moments you NEVER find in video games. But I cannot overstate how harrowing it is. It feels like 2 seasons of the darkest TV show you'll ever find, and it frequently better than most TV on the air. That's saying a lot. I think it is an IMPORTANT game. It tore me up, and I will never, ever forget BLOODBORNE is a game that will change you.

    In short, BLOODBORNE put me through hell. I did not enjoy it. I wasn't supposed to. I was affected by it. Like no game before. I am in awe of it. I am recovering from it.    … Expand

There are some frame rate issues, but it really only affects you when you go into a loading screen. Some people hate the dungeon system, but me personally I enjoy the dungeons and use them to farm for blood echoes and blood gems, but I can see why people hate it as it is a grind to go through them all, and if you want to platinum you have to do them all. I already mentioned that the combat is fast paced which differs from dark souls where a majority of the combat is shield, strike, shield, strike. In bloodborne the combat uses a lot of dodging, getting hits in, retreating, and doing it again, although your best bet is to counter and use viseral attacks to deal major damage. Like most Fromsoftware games you have to discover and piece together the story yourself which can invest you into the game. The environment is absolutely gorgeous with beautiful victorian style buildings, roads, and rooms. The DLC only makes the game better with new enemies, weapons, clothes, and bosses which add even more to the story. To sum it all up if you have a Ps4 Bloodborne is a must play, and if witcher wasn't released in the same year I do believe that it would have won game of the year.… Expand

Thankfully enough, Bloodborne's lore is compelling even if it's ambiguous for the most part.
    The gameplay surprised me a lot; it's faster than I expected, it feels very satisfying, the mechanics are wonderful, there's a nice amount of unique items and the trick weapons are so goddamn badass, they're one of the coolest things in the entire game for me.
    My favorite part of the game isn't the gameplay though, it's the haunting and frightening setting; Bloodborne's world is probably the best world I've seen in a videogame. It starts out as a gothic horror and it slowly transcends into a nightmarish cosmic horror that is able to find beauty in the dark. On top of that, the level design and the music are just perfect.
    The graphics are not necessarily impressive but they're really good nonetheless.
    Also, the bosses are intimidating, challenging and rewarding.
    However, many of the bosses in the main game are somewhat easy and underwhelming in my opinion, but fortunately, the DLC makes up for it; The Old Hunters is essential to own if you enjoy playing Bloodborne because it features the best bosses in the entire game.
    Now, while the gameplay is very enjoyable, the camera and the lock-on system are awkward at times, and farming for Blood Vials can be tedious at times.

    Pros:
    + Intriguing lore
    + Aggressive & diverse gameplay
    + Superb setting
    + Threatening & challenging bosses
    + Incredible level design and music
    + Amazing DLC

    Cons:
    - Flawed camera and lock-on system
    - Blood Vial system

    Gameplay: 9/10
    Content: 9/10
    Music: 10/10
    Graphics/Audio: 8/10

    Final Rating: 9.5/10
    - Outstanding -

    Bloodborne is the type of game that you'll either hate or love or love to hate and hate to love. When I first started to play this game I hated it.

I've never played the Dark Souls games so I went into BloodborneBloodborne is the type of game that you'll either hate or love or love to hate and hate to love. When I first started to play this game I hated it. I hated it for making me start levels all over again after dying multiple times. I hated it for its random difficulty spikes and arrogant stun locks from both enemies and bosses. I've never played the Dark Souls games so I went into Bloodborne blind.
    But after the first few days I couldn't stop playing it as it drew me in. I had to see if I could follow it through to the end. So I did just that and finished the game and obtained all 3 endings. Afterwards I thought to myself what a hell of a journey. Great locations and atmosphere with a few exceptions. Music is spot on and graphics are still decent even by today's standards.
    Gameplay is fairly tight, but also with a few exceptions. If you play the game you'll see what I mean about a few exceptions. Anyways, Bloodborne would rank in my top 10 of all time favorite games even though I hated it at first. It grows on you and once you "click" with the game mechanics and how to fight it becomes very addictive. However it doesn't rank a perfect score of 10 because no game has ever reached a 10 by my standards because that means there's no room for improvement. Bloodborne is a 9 for me regardless because there are a few issues with the game. One of which is the hitbox on enemies and bosses. It gets wonky sometimes and doesn't register. Another issue is frame drops, especially when your fighting many enemies or huge bosses. These two issues may be linked together however.  I think the most useless game mechanic is the frenzy status. This alone almost made me quit the game permanently. It's a cheap system mechanic that serves no other purpose than to aggravate the player at the most inconvenient of times. If your health bar isn't full it becomes an instant kill. Speaking of instant kills, this game is full of them. Some bosses and even some enemies will kill you in one shot. Not my idea of fun, but whatever. I think Bloodborne is at least worth a try to first time gamers looking for a challenge. I know that the Dark Souls community appreciates Bloodborne for what it is. As for me I'm glad that I stuck with the game even if I did find it frustrating at first.  All in all it's a game worth trying out. You never know, you may find it as addictive as I did.

    but my complain is that there isn't any real defensive options there's just a dodge so it's really hard to get used to and playing it slow like the souls series won't work and the healing system is really bad in my opinion.now let's talk about map design : the map design in this game is pretty linear however some areas are connected which is really good. the lanterns are pretty well placed but the map design sadly isn't even close to dark souls 1.now lets talk about the boss fights and music : the bosses in this game are mostly really damn good and fun to fight but some of them are bullsh.t, they have broken hit boxes and get stuck lol. the music in this game is fantastic sadly not as good as dark souls 3 and 1. now the classes : the amount of classes in this game are sadly not as good or much as the souls series so it isn't as replayable as the souls series. now the pvp : the pvp in this game is ehh its alright i dont really have anything to say about it. the npc's in this game are just too good i love all of them they just feel different from the souls series and that's what makes them special.overall i give it a 8.5 out of 10. it has been reported that it's coming to pc and ps5 with a remaster in a few months so hopefully the pc players and xbox,switch players that have a pc can play it.    … Expand

    The setting is impressive, the mechanic of recovering life after you get hit is what I like the most about combat.

    To get into souls-type games I think it's the best

    The worst thing about the game is the performance is at 30fps and in other areas it is a bit of a gift, not to mention bad

    Hopefully one day a patch at 60fps a remaster or remake

    Probably my new favourite game of all time. I'm new to soulslikes, but I loved this so much I went on to get the platinum and finish the DLC. I still regularly come back and plan to do a full co-op playthrough, which would require us to do everything twice, just can't get enough!

    Well i was never a big fan of the souls formula but Bloodborne did me well. The story is basically non-existent if you don't dig deep into the lore but the gameplay is so delicious and fast-paced. Bloodborne is intense action and terror through a gothic and dark world and if you like those things bloodborne will serve you well.

Единственный минус - Чаши и их Подземелья. В общем, люди, поигравшие в бладборн, делятся на два типа: 1) Прошли игру и ставят ей 9-10 баллов. 2) Дошли максимум до Чудовища-Кровоглота, сдались, и пошли лить сопли в виде низких оценок, именно из-за таких, кстати, у игры столь незаслуженно низкий юзерскор.… Expand

    Bloodborne is an adrenaline-packed adventure that plunges you into the depths of Yharnam's blood-soaked streets. A newcomer to Yharnam, you start out mindlessly hunting and slaughtering beasts, but before long you'll find yourself intrigued by the mysterious secrets behind the city's fall into ruin and of the discovery that there may be greater forces at work...

    Bloodborne was my first fromsoftware experience but in my opinion, it is one of the most atmospheric games ever made.

But the next thing that Bloodborne gets right is pacing and gameplay.
    There aren't too many NPCs in the game and the ones you follow doesn't have happy endings either, making Bloodborne's world more cryptic and dark.
    The boss fights all benefit from such high qualities that ranking them is really hard, each one of them demands a specific skiil from you or sometimes a set of skills to get pass.
    Environment story-telling in Bloodborne is at its peak because Bloodborne doesn't tell you everything right at the start, you are left to truly understand and suck this world yourself. Bloodborne is a fast-paced atmospheric RPG masterpiece that will haunt you during each JRPG run you do.    … Expand

    Bloodborne is fantastic but not without its flaws. BB was the first game I played on PS4 and may be the last I Replay as I retire the near the end of its life console.

    My first Fromsoft game was Dark souls and from sequels to successors I know that I will never have an that first experience again. Comparing BB to DS is almost Impossible not to do and after that first experience subsequent games with similar Games will always feel easier. After one souls game I Was clued into how I should approach enemies and bosses. overall I think DS will Hold the place in my Heart Over BB. Not because BB is worse in any way. Just that my first experience with this type of game can't be recreated.
    However Bloodborne is not a game I played for its difficulty. I could not care less whether it is harder or easier than dark souls. I feel this argument is like comparing a soccer ball to a basket ball than saying you can't enjoy one sport over the other because of how the ball bounces.

    What I enjoy In BB and what makes me want to replay it time and again is the dark Victorian era world/stylisation, enemy variety/designs, exploration of the unique weapons and items (whether the RPG elements have been dumbed down from DS or not, I don't really care). This is a good example of one of the best visual experiences I have witnessed in a video game.

    One of the biggest problems for me is the healing system. while having a timeframe to get health back after being hit suits this games faster pace and aggressive combat.
    I have never liked the blood vials. The 'chug and run' nature of its use detracts a lot from the combat as almost all enemies are primed to chase and pressure players limiting options and approaches to the gameplay. Limited options in combat make it feel more repetitive and the combat feels cheaper overall to me. Enemy variety alleviates this to some degree but the problem is ever present in the game.
