    I've always been a fan of souls-like games, but I think that Bloodborne is different from the rest of the souls series. Sure, it's made by the same company who made the Souls series, but It's got a special charm to it. One of my favorite things about this game is the atmosphere. There are so many areas and enemies and even items that give you this unnerving feeling.

There are so many areas and enemies and even items that give you this unnerving feeling. The soundtrack for this game is also incredible and ranges from epic battle music to creepy music for a cultish town. The obvious draw about these games though is the gameplay and Bloodborne does not disappoint in that department. It's much more fast-paced and rewards more aggressive playstyles and fast reaction time. Another thing that's important to mention is that instead of having what are essentially a few different kinds of weapons with different levels of power, Bloodborne has a variety of weapons that can make your approach to fights significantly different, from a simple saw or axe to a giant chainsaw pizza cutter or a curved sword that can transform into a bow. It's also cool that they have some of my favorite bosses of all time. If you're looking for a challenging game with a great atmosphere and superb gameplay, I can't recommend this game enough.… Expand

    Before I begin this review, I must disclose that I am completely biased. Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time, bar none, and even if it has a few minor flaws, everything else is so ingeniously designed that I will still rate it higher than games with less objective flaws, such as DOOM 2016, Half-Life 2, Celeste or Dragon Quest XI S.

    Bloodborne is Hidetaka Miyazaki's Magnum Opus.    Before I begin this review, I must disclose that I am completely biased. Bloodborne is my favorite game of all time, bar none, and even if it has a few minor flaws, everything else is so ingeniously designed that I will still rate it higher than games with less objective flaws, such as DOOM 2016, Half-Life 2, Celeste or Dragon Quest XI S.

    Bloodborne is Hidetaka Miyazaki's Magnum Opus. Dark Souls may be his most famous title, but his best, even according to him, is Bloodborne. The game is a masterpiece of gameplay, level design, worldbuilding and story (as long as you bother to actually decipher it). It begins with a classic gothic horror setting, placing you right in the middle of a Victorian-era city gone to hell, and expects you to fight, die and kill to hopefully make it out of there, all while getting vague hints as to what exactly is going on. You're given minimal instruction, a couple weapons and told to go out and kill things.

    Bloodborne is not easy. It is possibly the most difficult of the Souls series, but also the least unfair overall. Bloodborne pushes you to play more aggressively, rather than suggesting a more defensive style that was popular in Dark Souls, with both a faster dodge, faster weapons, a complete lack of a shield and a rally mechanic that allows you to restore your health for a short time by hitting enemies after you took damage. However, this does nor mean you get to be blindly aggressive or a button masher, because every action you take is a commitment; it cannot be canceled. In most hack and slash games, you can cancel into a roll from mid-swing and perform the roll without punishment. That is not so in Bloodborne, or any of the Souls games. If you swing, you must complete that swing before you can dodge. So long as you understand that and are careful with your attacks, you will perform far better in this game.

    The level design is phenomenal. There are very few checkpoints, but every area has at least one shortcut that wraps back around to one checkpoint or another in a way that feels incredibly intelligent. It feels like an epiphany every time one is discovered. Some of these lead back to areas you were in hours ago, and nearly everything is interconnected in some fashion. Enemy placement is brutal, but well-designed, so as to teach you where enemies like to be and to keep you on your toes. Every inch of this game is a learning moment, and there's always something new around the corner.

    The bosses in this game are absolutely ridiculous. Nearly all of them feel like a monumental challenge, but in a way that feels conquerable once you learn their move set and patterns. Nearly all of them will punish defensive play, such as backpedaling, with large, lunging attacks, so you have to use the invincibility frames of your dodge to properly time slipping through their attacks to punish them. There are about three bosses that don't feel all that great to fight (Witches of Hemwick is hide and seek, Rom is a minion-based boss with hard-hitting magic to watch out for, and Micolash is a massive game of chase, followed by an uninteresting fight until the second half, where he has a move that can kill you in one hit), but the other fourteen bosses, not including DLC, are all phenomenal, and have their own ways of being beaten most efficiently.

    The story is often heavily talked about by people much more knowledgeable than I, so I will not discuss it too far, but I will say this: not only is Bloodborne a beautiful reimagining of the works of Stoker and Lovecraft, its tales are written better than both of the original authors, while also perfectly inversing the classic Hero's Journey tale. It is truly a treat, and is one of the best horror games ever made from a story standpoint.

    The DLC is the best twenty dollars you will ever spend. I will say nothing more; if you buy this game, get the DLC. It is everything good about Bloodborne distilled and concentrated. It is also significantly harder than the main game.

    There are a few flaws in the game, being the run mechanic not allowing you to cancel into a dodge, instead making you jump (and with the counter hit mechanic, where you get punished for dodging incorrectly, a jump counts as a dodge without the invincibility frames and you will take double damage), the frame drops at some of the more graphically intense moments (this does not happen on PlayStation 5), and Micolash and Laurence's boss fights (Laurence is an entirely optional DLC fight, so he can be avoided), but these are overall minor flaws and most can be avoided. The Chalice Dungeons could also be considered flawed, but I still like them, because it is more Bloodborne content, and they're also entirely optional.

    Bloodborne may not be a perfect game, but it has very few flaws, and its many strengths are so powerful that I could never rate it anything less than a ten. This is my favorite game ever made, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.    … Expand

    It's a good game and the asphetics looks amazing. The things which I really didn't like thou is the game is capped at 30 FPS and it stacks attacks making it feel different from other souls games. There is also no tutorial so if you haven't played other souls games you probably won't like Bloodborne. You also have no way to tell if your entering a boss arena and you can't leave boss arenasIt's a good game and the asphetics looks amazing.

You mite be doing a scavenger run to level up then it's wasted cos you enter a boss arena and die then loose all your currency.
    How ever Bloodborne is a really fun and challenging game. The dark and gloomy level design is great. I love the enemies and the bosses. I really wish they would make a PS4 pro update with an FPS fix. I highly recommend players try out another souls game 1st like Dark souls 3 or Demon Souls. This will give players an understanding of the combat system.    … Expand

    Few things keep me from giving a 10 I fear: rare (but existing) junky hitboxes, certain enemies/bosses tend to stun lock you without possibility to defend yourself, and I would have preferred the optional dungeon stuff to be intended as mandatory to finish the game (not all of them, I’d say 3/4 dungeons) as the game itself is not really that long nor difficult to complete in a reasonable period of time.
    If you’re good at videogames in general and got some reflexes, you could complete this title in less than 70 deaths for sure, even if it’s your first souls-like game.
    I resume stating that this game is amazing and I invite everyone who’s interested in a challenge to play it.

    Unlike 'Demon's Souls', 'Dark Souls' and 'Sekiro's' visually varied levels, 'Bloodbourne's' Gothic themed areas whilst beautiful are all dark, depressing and foreboding.

    It takes all the bad mechanics from Dark Souls and makes them good, and it takes all great stuff from Dark Souls and makes them amazing, and it adds a bunch more exellent mechanics that feel so good to use and combine.

I could stop playing video games for 5000 years and then pick up a controller and Id still have all the muscle memory to beaf the games ass. This game is daunting, and it has more horror than most horror games out there. Its a depressing world that you have to treverse, and the intemidating enemy and boss designs make you feel that much more manly when you get up after dying and try again. The game doesn't tell you jack **** so when you expriment, and learn something new its like adding a new tool to your arsenal, and unlike Dark Souls you wont be discouraged to try new things and tactics because of how amazing this game feels to control. All the bosses are amazing, terrifying, quick and reactive to your attacks like when you beak their bones or fracture their skull. This game is simply a must play, and I am very annoyed that most people cant experience it because you need a Playstation. Hope it gets ported. Then people will realize that it is truely the best souls game. There is no wya I can explain it with just words. You just have to play it and see for yourself.    … Expand

    This was my first ever soul game. On my very first playthrough, I rage quitted. A year later I saw a friend play the game and decided to give it another go and it was one of the best decision I've made. Even if it's no my favorite soul game, I had a blast and discovered what's probably my new favorite game series.

The possibilities are huge, and even though it seems frustrating loosing so many times for some bosses (or even to some stupid crows - don't let them deceive you, they can and WILL kill you if you give the chance), it is also highly rewarding when you finally beat them, and then it becomes a matter of honor to try it again and make it better! With different strategies to use with your character, amazing weapons for every type of game-play that suits your stile, Bloodborne is certainly a must play game, at least once in your life. If you manage this one, the other souls-like will come naturally! It is beautiful and nice just to walk around the different scenarios (after eliminating all the enemies, of course... ha ha), and not to mention the soundtracks! The Old Hunters expansion is also as great as the main game, certainly also a must have! I hope it will have a sequence one day!… Expand

    On par for my favorite Fromsoftware game, but it's not perfect. I can admit that some of the bosses aren't super fun, or are unfair if not approached carefully (Rom...). Not as many weapons as DS is also a valid point, but I think all the weapons manage to be fun unlike most of the filler weapons in DS.

Not as many weapons as DS is also a valid point, but I think all the weapons manage to be fun unlike most of the filler weapons in DS. With the couple negatives out of the way, I can talk about why I love this game so much.

    Firstly it perfects the dodging combat system by making the player faster alongside the bosses. It's a constant tango of exchanging blows, dodging through hard hitting opponents, and ultimately coming out on top. The feeling of triumph over a boss is there even after multiple playthroughs.

    The setting also really appeals to me. The gothic Victorian areas feel very different from Dark Souls' castles, and as small as it is felt like it gave a huge new breath of life to the game. Its very gray, and I can understand that being a turnaway for people, but I think had the game had more vibrant color sections it wouldn't invoke the same dread and mystery as it does. Which speaking of...

    One of the huge inspirations for the game is HP Lovecraft. Not a shock to anyone whose even seen footage of the game, but it draws on the inspiration yet doesn't ripoff it. The pursuit of the eldritch truth and the deeper lore of the game always fascinate me even to this day.

    Overall one of my favorite games, and definitely worth a check for any PS4/5 owner who wants to get into Fromsoftware or a returning Veteran.    … Expand

    Like every other Souls game, Bloodborne does not tell you the story directly, but if you try to dig deep and try to understand the story, you’ll see a master-level story design. With the refined gameplay, the satisfactory feeling in the combat is way better than other mainstream games.

Besides the fact that the gameplay is masterclass, the lore behind literally everything in the game is intriguing to an unfair degree, and it doesn't even tell you the story.

VerySeek a ray of light in this miserable world, not the luxury of pampering in a bright world. Fight in the dark, and finally get out of the cage to see the sun, but there is nowhere to escape. It is very difficult to restore a complete world view and restore a unified style of the world. Once completed, it is also shocking. Scary, eerie, sometimes magnificent, sometimes regrettable. Very artistic style. And this is all thanks to the cancellation of the minimap, which allows me to really observe the scene itself, rather than staring at the map. At the same time, it also puts forward higher requirements for scene design to make enough recognition. Let the players gradually become familiar with the scene itself, from the familiar fear of the unfamiliar to being as friendly as their own balcony. Ugly and disgusting feelings occupy the vast majority, but it is because of this that I have the surprise of finding any ray of light. People cannot be amazed all the time, and it is impossible. There is always an upper limit and a lower limit for the balance of human senses. As long as the fluctuation is large enough, shock can be formed. From being unable to defeat the miscellaneous soldiers at the beginning, to overcoming my inner fear and facing the powerful boss, my mind has grown tremendously. This set of logic is exactly what the real me lacks: face the fear, face the challenge, and there is a way out if you face it bravely! The design concepts of various boss battles are very unique. The close-up frontal risk is low and the return is high. The long-distance avoidance of the risk is high and the return is low. It is very easy to die if you open the distance. Active attack is encouraged, and extreme counterattack is also encouraged, and the attack is the defense. Tribute to the Orphan of Kos who killed me a hundred times. I've also gone from being a big fan of Souls games from the very beginning. The various weapons in the game are very simple to look at, but the actual combat is ever-changing and very deep. It is very rewarding to use every move skillfully to resolve and defeat all kinds of perverted enemies. The presence of the plot is very weak, almost imperceptible, there is no clear description, dynamic plot performance. Some only have item descriptions, NPCs talk to themselves, and hidden notes scattered in huge scenes are collectively referred to as clues. To understand the plot, you can only piece it together through clues. There is no standard answer, maybe the real answer is only in Miyazaki Hidetaka's heart, and every player can have his own understanding and his own answer. The game format of Bloodborne has had a profound impact on me, and my acceptance of the game has changed. Many previous game experiences seem to have been shuffled.… Expand
