    The Combat is pretty much Perfect, by far the fastest in the series (except Sekiro) which leads to the allow the bosses to be the fastest in the Series. This game now features Guns that you use in you're left Hand while you're Main Weapon remains in your right. When you shoot an Enemy right before it's attack hits you, you'll stagger them and can perform an Visceral attack, brutally ripping you're enemy's guts out, which has to be one of the most satisfying feelings ever. the only gripe I have with it is that the dodge has a lot of Input Lag, though you'll get used to it. I disagree that it has the best Bosses in the Series (that Title goes to Dark Souls III), but some (especially the Final One and the DLC bosses) are some of the best Bosses in the Gaming History. One thing I definitely don't disagree with is that this game has the Best area's out of any Fromsoft game. Maybe there not as connected as they are in Dark Souls 1, but their Design is better IMO and there all flat out gorgeous. While Combat and Music are nearly perfect, the completely Perfect parts of this game remain the atmosphere and Lore. Even if you have no interest in playing the game I recommend you to watch the Story retrospective Gingy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD6qsOPTaKQ) and the Lore Videos of for example VaatiVidya (Here's a Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjWOy6ioVHI&list=PLKEHOOuDkS50dNGe1JIVgADO8N0w39yLr). Only if you beat the game or are okay with Spoilers of Course.

    If you haven't playerd it yet I strongly advise you to, especially if you played one of the other Souls games like Dark Souls or Elden Ring, because, in my Opinion, it is the hardest Game to get into for new players (my Politics Teacher refused to try Elden Ring because he got stuck on the Cleric Beast Im not kidding), but if you like the aesthetic and really want to play this one, there are alot of good Guides on Youtube and when there's a will there's a way, I'm sure you're able to beat Bloodborne, unlike my Politics teacher (If he sees this, and I very much doubt he will, hello Mr. J, I hope you're doing great, you were a very Good Teacher!)

    I don't know how to end this little Review other than telling you once again that this Game is awesome and you should play it!

    The only thing that keeps this game from achieving perfection in my eyes are the Chalice Dungeons.
    Chalice Dungeons, in case you don't know, are procedurally generated dungeons, that despite being considered extra content, give some amazing rewards, I'll say that they are basically required if you want to PVP at meta level with some specific builds.

    As you can imagine, most of the time they don't feel coherent and lack that neat level design that's present in the main game, but that's expected considering the nature of randomly generated content.

    I did also found them very poorly balanced, it always feels that you're either way too overleveld or underleveld, In theory a good Idea, but executed very poorly.

Bloodborne is a really amazing game from From Software studio, the game also met with a huge amount of fans and no wonder when I played this game for the first time I was wondering if I would return it, I would make a mistake because I would not get to know this great game.

    The greatest game From-Software have made thus far, and probably the best they ever will do. I played Elden Ring hoping it would top this, but Bloodborne is still the best gaming experience I've ever had. A shame it is capped at 30 fps, which makes it practically unplayable in 2022.

I actually played bloodborne first but I quit it and played dark souls 1, then I went back to beat bloodborne. And I don't really know which I prefer, bloodborne easily has the superior combat and graphics while dark souls isn't nearly as grindy and I really didn't iike that they basically forced you to grind in bloodborne. And by grinding I mean grinding/farming for blood vials. I really dislike this feature and it makes it annoying to fight a hard boss because sooner or later you're going to run out of vials so you're forced to grind for them. They really should've made a similar system to the estus flask in dark souls, but oh well what can you do. Storywise I don't have much to say because it's vague just like any other souls game but still very intriguing. I also really love the setting of bloodborne and i like just as much as ds1 but I very much liked how connected the ds1 world is while bloodborne isn't. I know i'm comparing a lot but it's the best way to really sum up how much I like bloodborne. I loved the health regain you can earn after taking damage and then hitting your opponent afterwards. It's very awarding for aggressive players and is a nice change in the souls series. I fairly enjoyed most of the bosses in this game with my least favorite being the one when you have to chase that one guy around the whole freaking building. It's a unique fight but a bit too weird for me. Overall, I really enjoyed bloodborne and I think it's a fantastic game. I don't know if it's my favorite souls game but it's defintely up there with ds1 which I really really enjoyed. Expand

    86/100
    Bloodborne paints a slumbering world cursed, the city of Yharnam twisted by foreign dark forces that mutated its inhabitants plunging everything in an enrapturing nightmarish landscape. The hidden lore contextualizing the setting is a deep one, drawing much inspiration from the works of H.P.Lovecraft for its concepts while choosing profound topics such as the existentialism and religion of a fallen, multifaceted society as thematic pillars. It is a tremendously rich fictional history to study and interpret. The world map, while cohesive, isn't as interconnected as DS1's but displays the exact same level of structural quality as each area leads to the next with a compelling branching map design that often gives the player a lot of diverging paths to choose from, making for an engaging journey, while taking NPCs to a safe heaven punctuates progression while greatly expanding on the lore. Level Design is, as per tradition, exquisitely intricate and dense as it uses hidden ladders, obscure roads, mysterious ledges and elevators to develop on multiple connected layers, requiring careful play to avoid traps and ambushes while rewarding careful exploration with treasures, shortcuts and new areas, with a lot of optional content to discover. Levels are full of varied creatures using widely different attack patterns that are dangerous as they are fast, as Bloodborne's combat puts a lot more emphasis on speed than the other Souls games. Both your and the enemy's movements are quick, their deadliness balanced with the possibility to regain your health through mindful fast retaliation, making strategic play rewarding and further accentuating this tense, feral fighting speed. Weapons aren't as many as DS1, but here each one has two distinct modes providing a unique moveset, offering plenty of room for combo experimentation. The horror element of the setting bleeds in the gameplay through a new survival element, as healing items are now a finite resource. In actuality, this ends up being one of the few major flaws of the game as the less skilled players will often need to resort to tedious grinding to replenish their stock. Another major flaw is the excessive power of some firearms, trivializing a couple of boss fights. Speaking of, the quality of the bosses is mostly great, sparking interesting fights with unique mechanics and multifaceted movesets. If the player will get stuck during their exploration of Yharnam, the game offers the option to generate streamlined dungeons to explore. For what they are, these are surprisingly rich, hosting enemies and bosses both from the main areas as well as exclusive ones, providing a modest but greatly entertaining way to grind levels while experiencing new stuff.

    Mysterious, grotesque, alien, frightening, hard... Bloodborne is an incredible action game with lore that made me stay up at night, it made me obsess over Lovecraftian works, and for sure, made me quit 50 times.

    All that aside after beating the final boss 3 years ago I still think about it, so much so that I wanted to share my thoughts about it years after completing it.

The only real problem I have is that the game's art style starts to feel samey when nearing the end of the game. However, this is really only a minor complaint, and the rest of the game more than makes up for it. The DLCs also introduce some really compelling bosses that both fit with the themes of the game and extend its combat mechanics even further. Expand

I love the design approach of this game with memorable story bosses level design and world. The 30 fps and 1080p resolution is abit of a hindrance but the fact that the game is still so enjoyable despite the setbacks shows how much love and care was put in to build this game. Combat and graphics are stellar. There are some annoying enemies (winter lantern...) and some bosses that simply refuse to die LAURENCE!!!! but even in that they are done in the best way possible and add to the experience instead of invoking hatred in the player. Really good game. Expand

    What a masterpiece. Recently replayed it on PS5 and I gotta say this is the best souls game ever made. I would even put in the top 5 best games of all time.

    One of the greatest games of the last decade. A video game for a few, difficult and cryptic, with a gothic atmosphere and a unique artistic direction and level design.
    From software creates masterpieces.
    Because bloodborne, like its predecessors and successors, is in all respects a game from which you can't get away from it. You either love it or you hate it.

    Bloodborne es una maravilla visual, uno de los videojuegos más visualmente atrapantes de la historia con un estilo artistico perfecto. Teniendo eso en cuenta, su lore y combates. Es de lo mejor de From Software

    Completed Bloodborne twice (NG and NG+) with 2 different endings. This game is very daunting and amazing at the same time. After Sekiro this is my 2nd FROMSOFTWARE game and I love them. Patience and attack patterns are the keys to crack the game. Definitely a masterpiece and one of the best games of all time.

    It is really good for beginner souls borne players. It has a nice ambiance, music, bosses, and weapons. I would recommend this game to most people who are looking for an easier soulsborne.

    bloodburn is a good game, one that is almost perfect for gamers like me, the difficulty and the complex story are quite entertaining, I am not saying that it is a game for everyone, I understand that some people do not like it, but it is not a good argument to say that a game is bad for its difficulty definitely my favorite souls

    Where to start? I played this and loved everything about it immediately. As a gamer since 5 it really showed me just how bad I am at video games and it made me want to be a better gamer. It would be amazing to see this come to PC after so many years to let those stubborn players who do not want to fork out for a PS4/5 experience this.
    Thank you for reading. Enjoy Gaming.

    This game is special i could talk about just the weapons for atleast hours. But everything else, world building, lore, gameplay is near perfect. I love the dark and scary vibe from this game. The dlc is BY FAR the best content FromSoft has made thus far and I was left wanting more.

    In the beginning the game was just confusing, it was so hard to get through bosses, areas and it was so annoying to farm blood vials everytime i used them. But after so many deaths you understand everything, how to progress by yourself and how to play, and then the game becomes a masterpiece, the art design is unreal, music is great, areas are so well desing and how every zone isIn the beginning the game was just confusing, it was so hard to get through bosses, areas and it was so annoying to farm blood vials everytime i used them.

    Has almost all the Pros of darksouls and the unique things about it are for the most part great
    Sadly there aren't a lot of weapons and being able to run out of healing items instead of just getting them back after dying kinda sucked
    I just can't give it the same Rating as its siblings because of these short comings But this game is really close to a 10

    My all-time favorite game, it is a near-perfect complete package. It's fast paced savage combat, its haunting and grim settings, its themes of unknowable cosmic forces, its serene and majestic soundtrack, its intricate level design... the game has it all. It ranks among the best of fromsoft's catalogue for a reason, and literally changed my life.

    The setting and style of this game is immaculate. It’s still a souls like game but for me it’s my favourite that include Elden ring as well I like how it was somewhat linear but still gives opportunity to explore. The music is also sensational and when you kill a boss with the orchestra blasting behind you it’s pretty phenomenal feeeling.

    Would probably have topped Dark Souls 1 for me as my favourite Fromsoftware game if not for a severe lack of replay-ability options in the lack of build, weapon and cosplaying choices.

    One of if not the best souls-like game, Bloodborne offers an incredible setting with expectedly fluid and dynamic combat. The biggest problem with Bloodborne is that it is still stuck on the PS4.

    Brutally difficult, victorian & gothic horror/action/adventure with the most mysterious story of any game I have ever played. The graphics STILL look great 8 years later. It's simultaneously terrifying and enthralling. 500+ hours later I still have questions about what's actually going on...

    I totally loved it. The parry mechanic is great, the mechanics are awesome. Bosses are totally balanced. I lacked more quality builds weapons and chalice dungeons for platinum were kind of annoying but overall the game is excellent.
