    I was initially put off buying the game as it seemed pointlessly gory and the fantasy beasts didn't interest me. However, once I'd discovered the masterpiece that is Dark Souls 3, I was craving more of the same. I very quickly realised I was wrong to dismiss this game. It delivers just like DS3.

    The choice to remove shields and add the ability to rally back your health is a master stroke! Two aspects that are not masterstrokes however are:

    - Having a finite health source, therefore farming is a thing, a really tedious thing
    - Having to teleport back to the hubworld before teleporting again, just make it one step

    These two points caused too much frustration to give this game a perfect score, but it deserves a lot of praise.

    The creatures fit very well with the story. The story is sparse but the lore is really effectively at developing the mysterious setting.

    This game creates an incredible atmosphere and has the player in awe, fear and euphoria throughout.    … Expand

    Bloodborne is a master piece, it´s one of the best games you will play, his graphics, weapons, beasts, the most difficult and best bosses you are going to find.
    The gameplay is very similar to dark souls, the difference is that they quit away the child an that make you to play more aggressive, and i think that is better than dark souls

    I never wanted to play a souls game because I'm not a defensive shield and sword type of player, and Boodborne brings the opposite of that, as it rewards you when you play fast and aggressive, and gets you killed when you get too defensive. Most players will need some time to adapt as it has a very specific concept of gameplay, with no mini-map, few checkpoints, and the way you are most of the time totally clueless about what is going on, combined with it's hardcore battle system in which a simple mistake can and will get you killed. But the difficulty works in a way that every progression feels like a real achievement. It's challenging, but not over-challenging in a boring "can't progress in the story" way.
    Another great point for me was the aesthetics chosen, pretty much different from the medieval design of Dark Souls. Bloodborne's visual concept draws influence from Victorian Age gothic horror, and HP Lovecraft's cosmic horror. The game feels a lot like a nightmare, with its city of dark alleys and impossible architecture. Most of the time you don't know where the enemies are hiding and it compels you to pay attention to the environment which is great because the art direction is really beautiful and the level design is made in a way you easily memorize your path through the areas.
    Definitely a must have if you're into this specific kind of game, which will not please everyone.
    The DLC "The Old Hunters" is amazing, and brings a lot to the game in therms of possibilities, lore and challenge.    … Expand

While Bloodborne is undeniably a game of the Souls franchise he brings his own style and attractive.
    The game brings many elements of Darksouls as the intense difficulty that provides a sense of accomplishment when we finally managed to pass from a difficult part, the bosses of colossal size and all mechanical part of level up and attributes of the characters, but what really makes Bloodborne incredible Are not their similarities with Darksouls but rather their differences. Among these differences one that already calls attention right away is the combat from the beginning the game will teach you that if you want to survive in Bloodborne you must be aggressive.
    At the same time that the player can not be afraid to attack the creatures that devastate the city of Yharnam he also can not feel too confident because any carelessness can be mortal no matter how powerful his character is. Also another thing that draws attention and all the Victorian style and a way of horror worthy of Lovecraft where the horror lies in beings and forms incomprehensible to a mere human mind.
    The story of the game follows the line already used by Miyazaki in his previous games being told through the description of the items and the interpretation of the dialogues with the NPCs providing a different interpretation of the plot for each player and bringing much to explore in the game. As for the technical side I can only say that the art direction and sound of the game are amazing provided gorgeous scenes and memorable track during the boss fights.
    Finally we came to the conclusion that Bloodborne is one of the best if not the best exclusive of Ps4 that brings hours of exploration and engaging combat that can extend even more with the new game plus, so if you and fan of the Souls franchise this game will You please and if you did not play or did not like Darksouls give Bloodborne a chance because with his fast and aggressive fighting style will vitiate you.    … Expand

    I very rarely give games a 10, because a 10 to me is a groundbreaking, wonderful and stunning masterpiece that sets out its goals and nails them to a T. Is a 10 perfect though? No. Far from it.

I want to note that I have playedI very rarely give games a 10, because a 10 to me is a groundbreaking, wonderful and stunning masterpiece that sets out its goals and nails them to a T. Is a 10 perfect though? No. Far from it. In fact, I do have some criticism for Bloodborne, but it is so minute and small, that it is an easy gloss-over when you consider the good it brings to the table. I want to note that I have played every Souls game (except Demon Souls) for over four years, but I try not to be a fanboy about things I like and objectively look at this game as a critic.

    Pros)
    1) Environments are absolutely mesmerizing, beautiful, creepy and graphically well (aside from a few hiccups or textures). Yharnam is a Gothic-style city that drips with exploration and atmosphere that feels engrossing as ever before.
    2) Combat is refitted, packed up with adrenaline and lets go of the weights of multiple armors, weapons and abilities to create a refining point of control and intensity. Enemies are ferocious, agile and brutal as ever to you, making you approach them with caution and read their moves down to avoid damage and more importantly death. The use of health regain by attacking offers more quick reflexes and encourages more fast thinking strategies that makes combat a frenzy of fun. You will die often though, so do not be fooled that this game is easier for you.
    3) Bosses. Some of the best bosses I have ever seen in video games. You could say some are not that great and you would not be wrong, but some bosses (especially in the Old Hunter's DLC) are so well done in strategy, music and setting that it was one of the few games to make me cry. Not because I was sad, but I was so amazed by how powerful some of them were. Truly gripping to my soul as a fan of the series.
    4) Music. One of the best soundtracks of any kind of music (gaming, rock, rap, country, etc.) I have ever had the pleasure of hearing. It uses orchestrated music and intense macabre style to make fights special and memorable. Even the decent boss fights have a good soundtrack to them that makes encounters great. If you are a music lover or do not want to play the game, listen to its tracks and be blown away on how well composed it is. It is worth your time.
    5) Lore is really interesting and compelling. The Soul series is great at delivering lore dwelling incentives (not storytelling, big difference), and painting the realm of Bloodborne's world is special and fantastic. It can make amazing theories and discussions still to this day on reddit or discussion boards. It is insane, depressing and beautiful, all wrapped with a blood-soaked bow.
    6) Weapons. I would argue that having less weapons is more in the context that making memorable and powerful weapons feel better than the overload of weapons in say Dark Souls 2. Each weapon transforms into a different variant when you "trick it" and some are cooler in others, but yet offer different approaches to combat that do not make them useless. Some might say the rifle spear and few other weapons are inferior to the Chikage and Ludwig's Holy Blade, but they are at least good and above average and neither a worthless weapon. The DLC weapons also make some of the coolest transformations the game will offer you and feel like a BAMF doing it.

    Cons:
    1) Difficulty. If you are recurring Souls fan, this will be a breeze for you. Enemies will stagger easily and very few will give you a real challenge. Parrying bosses alongside regular enemies can be easy. As for brand new Soul players, this game will be a literal hell for you. A true test of skills and knowledge that will pull you out of the comfort zone that games tend to give you and make you die over and over again. You will fall off ledges, you will get killed and lose your echoes forever, you will be confused on everything. Do not be afraid though! Try to overcome and I promise you it will reward you with hard work you put into it!
    2) PS4 exclusive. If you play Dark Souls on the Xbox or PC and are hoping Bloodborne comes over, it will not and never will. It is only on PS4, making those that don't have one pressured into buying it. I understand money can be an issue, but if you can you will not regret it.
    3) The game is shorter and (even with the Old Hunter's DLC), you can beat it in 15-20 hours. I can see some seeing length and content an important deal, so I will not deny that it does feel short. But the lack of size makes up with a huge quality boost in atmosphere, bosses and much more.
    4) PVP is hardcore to the invader, friendly to the host. If you are a huge PVP player in the souls games, this game will be hard for you to get on board with. Host has more advantages than invader and lag is there (and it does suck). If you like challenge, try it regardless but be warned that some deemed it inferior to DS1 and 2.

    Despite this issues, Bloodborne is still a master work of art. It delivers an experience that is unique, refreshing and refined. A game worthy of a 10/10.    … Expand

    The strengths of Bloodborne come from its haunting atmosphere, along with shocking environment and enemy design, bolstered by extremely tight, responsive combat that makes a fresh departure from traditional, methodical Souls combat.

    The game also features an imposing soundtrack, adding a new layer of exhilaration to each boss encounter.

    The only issues I found with the game were occasional unfair fights, where the normal skill and reflexes needed to survive are replaced with luck, with difficult-to-dodge instant kill attacks being implemented. That being said, such issues are mostly only present within the optional Chalice Dungeons, and as such are unlikely to be experienced by most players.

    Despite the occasional unfair moment or drop in framerate or multiplayer matchmaking issue, Bloodborne delivers an exhilarating, horrifying journey through your deepest fears.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A step up from Dark Souls in almost every way.

    It's inevitable that a game made by the same devs who made Dark Souls will be compared to said games; in a lot of ways the similarities are obvious, challenging gameplay, steep learning curve, recovery of XP items if you die, vague and intriguing story, online invasion, epic boss fights etc. etc. But where Bloodborne sticks it's head up from the similarities is in the faster paced combat, Victorian inspired setting, and grim storyline about the search for insight and ascension.

    The worst thing I can say about it is the Chalice Dungeons (which aren't necessary at all for completion anyway) but in pointing out these repetitive and frustrating trials, I can also point out that I willingly partook in them despite their lower quality, simply because I enjoyed the combat that much.

    Stepping into this game is stepping into the grim and bloody alleyways of a cursed town. Don't expect anything to be handed willingly to you, including the story; this game makes you work for what you uncover. Whether that be by overcoming the hard hitting brutality of a Vicar werewolf in order to unlock the next area, or by reading into the subtle clues to the story and background hidden in dialogue, item descriptions, and boss encounters. You will die. A lot. But you will learn every time- whether that be knowing that wasn't the right approach, by getting a better idea of an enemy's pattern of attack, or by understanding you might have to switch up your gear for a particular fight.

    I rolled with saw cleaver for the whole game but while the weapon variety might not be as extensive as DS in the vanilla game, it would be foolish to think you only have one weapon at any time- you have two, and utilizing your gun is the most efficient use of your time. You can stun enemies with it and most importantly parry certain enemies which will enable you to hit them hard with a follow up attack. Using the gun was probably the most fun I had with this game and was certainly a very different experience to Dark Souls.

    It would not be FromSoftware without the epic boss fights and I can say that this game delivers them in spades. Each one is different and requires different tactics and items in order to survive and emerge victorious with them. A lot of the fights lean towards the beast side of fights and you will find yourself stuck on a few of them before something will suddenly click and you'll find an answer. An early boss that gave me trouble was one that poisoned you and it was only through being more instantly aggressive with it that I came out winning in comparison to my earlier cautious attempts. Bloodborne will never hand things to you, but it does teach you a lot along the way.

    The story is a beautifully crafted web of cosmic horror, twisting and turning so effortlessly that you're never quite sure what is real and what is truth. Ambition and madness lie hand in hand and you can't help but feel sorry for a lot of the denizens that were caught up in these scholars lofty plans.

    Music as always is atmospheric and plays with the setting well. You will not walk away humming tunes from this game, but you will walk away with the image of something much darker in your mind that the music helps to orchestrate.

    Indeed all the areas you come across are unique and different but with the same theme present throughout the whole game sitting in their gut. A forest presents an area you can lose yourself in, a town something sickly and soiled; but they both carry in them the subject of fear and the unknown.

    This game will test you, this game will sneak it's way into your head and have you asking questions about it long after you've finished, and this game will most assuredly have you aching for more, and for all that it is not just a game in my opinion but an experience waiting to be uncovered. FromSoftware's best game yet and a testament to how games can hit the right spot between challenging and rewarding.    … Expand

    Bloodborne is one of the many reasons why you should even buy a PS4 in the first place, and is the best game(In my opinion) of the SoulsBorne series.

    1. The gameplay is fast paced action, and plays extremely well. You don't have shields, which forces you to dodge, and I like that about Bloodborne. Instead, you get a gun, which is used to stunlock enemies to perform Visceral attacks.

    1. The gameplay is fast paced action, and plays extremely well. You don't have shields, which forces you to dodge, and I like that about Bloodborne. Instead, you get a gun, which is used to stunlock enemies to perform Visceral attacks. A lot of the weapons feel different from each other when used, which means there's tons of variety to to how you can attack enemies. Guns however, should only be used for Visceral attacking, except for the cannon, which you can use to do a ton of damage to an enemy. I'd say it's probably the best combat system FromSoft ever made.

    2. The world.
    Yharnam is one of my favorite game locations. It is based on the London Victorian era style of buildings and such. Everything looks really detailed and actually makes you feel like you're in that era. The only real complaint would be that the character models aren't that great, but they do their job well. The areas look different from each other, and while it still has the generic FromSoft poisonous swamp area, the rest of the places the game takes you too feel different from anything the Souls games ever did.

    3. Difficulty.
    This game is ACTUALLY difficult. A lot of your navigation requires a form of strategy, and some form of planning, since you do not have a shield and cannot hide behind it like a little wimp. Enemies are placed in areas they should really be in, and nothing ever feels too difficult, except for the next topic. Also the DLC is the most difficult thing you will ever play in your life, and I recommend you prepare for that ahead of time, before tackling it.

    4. BOSSES.
    The bosses in this game for me, are genuinely some of the best I have ever fought against.
    However, there are two bosses, The Witch of Hemwick, and The Celestial Emissary, that feel weak, and should've probably been replaced with something else. Despite those two, the rest of the bosses give you a great challenge for wherever you are in the game.

    5. SOUNDTRACK
    The soundtrack is great. That's really all I can say. Go and listen to it.

    Bloodborne is just one of those games that is so good, it'll keep you coming back. The variety of weapons can give you a different experience with the game, the bosses are ones you'd want to fight over and over again, because they give you such a great challenge, and you never get tired of playing it.

    You should definitely buy this but be warned: It is one of the most difficult games in the 2010s.    … Expand

No me apasiona, pero lo respeto, por eso ciertos momentos fuera del desafío, me saben a poco.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Один из лучших эксклюзивов PS4! Игра превысила все мои ожидания, потрясла абсолютно всем!
    Плюсы:
    1. Механика боя проработанная до мелочей!
    2. Локации продуманные и зделанные на совесть (почти в каждой локации есть босс, много рядовых противников)
    3. Графика игры просто потрясна! Невероятная прорисовка, видно каждую мелочь!
    4. Есть много различных боссов (у каждого своя способность) и они не похожи друг на друга.
    5. Система прокачки обширная, прокачивать своего персонажа интересно и увлекательно.
    6. Карта мира огромна, изучение её приносит огромное удовольствие!
    Минусы:
    1. И.И. иногда бывает очень «тупым» и босса/противника можно легко убить с помощью «глитча»
    2. Есть много «манящих» ловушек, к примеру, убил большого противника, а перед ним яма, что снизу не видно, ты туда прыгаешь и умираешь теряя все отголоски крови - иногда очень бесит.
    Однозначно, игра сложная, но продуманная и классная! Рекомендую к покупке!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bloodborne es una obra maestra!

    Este juego toma lo mejor de los Dark Souls y lo expone de maneras insospechadas, tiene enemigos variados y todos son agresivos, tiene una gran variedad de jefes finales y su ambientación de horror e historia son de lo mejor que se ha visto en el mundo de los videojuegos.

    En este juego podremos encontrar una novedad que le da un giro importante a Bloodborne en su jugabilidad a diferencia de los "Dark Souls" que son las armas de fuego, con esto el juego busca que seamos mas agresivos en el combate, ya no buscaremos cubrirnos detrás de un escudo que por cierto aquí eso no funcionara para nada.

    En conclusión este juego es bellísimo, hermosos gráficos, gran historia, misiones secundarias interesantes, jefes poderosos y difíciles. Además de lo ya descrito el juego siempre cuenta con multijugador y es fiel a lo que ya nos tienen acostumbrados por parte de From Software, aquí podremos invadir el mundo de otros jugadores para matarlos y ganar recompensas o simplemente reírnos por los combates tan variados que se pueden dar ya sea que perdamos a ganemos, o simplemente ayudar para pasar el juego. Con ayudar a otros jugadores ganaremos conocimiento en el juego. El conocimiento es de lo mejor de la aventura ya que este nos servirá para invocar a alguien para ayudarnos en nuestra aventura o para ver cosas nuevas en el juego, y por ultimo y lo mas interesante es que nos servirá para que los enemigos sean mas agresivos ya que mientras mas conocimiento tengamos en nuestro poder mas agresivos serán los enemigos, esto lo recomiendo solo para los que quieran un gran desafío.

    Como dato adicional Bloodborne es básicamente infinito, ya que podremos crear los llamados "Cálices", en estos encontraremos nuevos jefes de calabozo y enemigos en ocasiones que fueron eliminados del juego al inicio pero que se han rescatado gracias a que en internet muchos jugadores dedicados han dejado los códigos de los cálices para encontrar a estos jefes finales. Algunos serán sencillos de matar y otros serán muy difíciles. Otro agregado es que aquí encontraremos mas armas diferentes de las que encontraremos en la historia principal, armas alternas a las que ya tenemos pero mas poderosas y recompensas como materiales para mejorar nuestro arsenal.

    Conclusión: Bloodborne es uno de los mejores juegos de todos los tiempos, amo al estudio From Software.    … Expand

    Take the deeply challenging, and rewarding style that From Software has become synonymous with in recent years, inject it with major Lovecraftian horror elements, and an increase in the pace of combat, and you are left with Bloodborne, one of the paramount experiences on the PS4.

    You take control of a customized hunter tasked with one thing,

    "Seek the Paleblood."

    With that you are thrust into the savage, gothic city of Yharnam. In my journey, I spent time piecing together the lore from one of the greatest settings in a modern game. Learning about the connections of major characters and factions in the universe was nearly as rewarding as the combat.

    Speaking of combat, those familiar with From Software titles know that rushing into a fight will nearly always end in tragedy. However, in Bloodborne the new combat system, which focuses on parries and dodging, enables a high risk, high reward style of gameplay to be adopted.

    The city of Yharnam holds countless numbers of all manners of horrors to encounter in your journey, with the city slowly going more insane as the story progresses. The amount of enemy variety in the game should be applauded, with each new area you explore usually housing new enemy types that require new strategies to be adopted in order to overcome. Memorable bosses have become a staple of From Software games, and Bloodborne is no different. Boss types can be slow and crushingly strong, spell slingers, to lightning fast and able to catch you in a combo, with no 2 bosses feeing the same.

    All in all, I did not find this title as difficult as others in the From Software library due to my specific play style and preferences. Between the gorgeous world, grotesque and intriguing enemies, memorable bosses, and deep lore steeped in Lovecraftian influence, this game is a must play if you own a PS4.    … Expand

    the gameplay of this game is very addictive, like the saga dark souls
    in addition to its incredible artistic design and its magnificent soundtrack
    the story in my opinion is better than the Dark Souls
    the weakest point is perhaps the little variety of weapons, suits or armor
    compared to the Souls saga but in bloodborne all the weapons that it has
    they do justice to the game 10/10

    Bloodborne,early into this game you can relate very well with the title. Although the lore and story of the game is definitely very mysterious, the main appeal is the combat system. You too afraid to play a game on a high difficulty? Bad luck, you dont really have much choice here. it is very hard to explain how this makes someone feel especially when you are new to this type of gameplay,it is very intimidating at first as you would expect for a horror/gothic game that has monsters and demons wanting to kill you around every corner. You will be dying in this game quite alot and that also means to the people who claim or feel they have the confidence to go through it quite easily. that is also the appeal in its way,with every death you will learn and adapt,with every hit and every movement the enemy makes you will slowly but surely start to read their movements,doing so you actually do feel like a true hunter.

    You may die....alot,during encounters and even boss encounters. But the draw to it is the sense of accomplishment, yes we all know how much that EA quote cringes us. But in all seriousness,when you actually defeat a boss the feeling you have is definitely that, you feel as if the battle was earned. That you defeating that boss was well deserved and you feel in yourself as if you are getting better and better and more knowledgeable within your journey.

    The more time you invest in the game, the more you improve. this is by no means for everyone and there will be some who just can not bear the learning curve and will stop playing this game from frustration and not being able to adapt and improve that is a given. But for those who really want to test themselves and want to see just how great of a gamer they really are,this is definitely the game to pick up to test your skills,reactions and adaptions.

    You have multiple weapons to choose from and yes you can die very easily and you will...plenty of times, but you too can kill enemies very quickly as well so you are on a even ground here. Although this game might scare some because they may feel hesitant from its difficulty,now when the game is at such a low price i believe you should purchase this and experience this yourself. The first few hours may be frustrating,but with that frustration comes a great sense of accomplishment, it will not only expand your mind from the monsters and demons you encounter,but you too will feel some sort of love for the horror franchise after playing this game,well.....i did at least.

    well worth the money spent. even with the few flaws that are in it, it is well worth your time.    … Expand

    First allow me to get this out the way, the reason I created a Metacritic account in fact. I saw a review where someone claimed the story was weak, and how the ending felt cheap to them. Without delving into spoilers, I assure you, that reviewer is an irredeemable moron. This game has some of the most in-depth lore, story and themes I've ever encountered in a video game. Paragraph long item descriptions oozing with detail about the world, in addition to the subtle implications of a changing game world as the narrative progresses. I don't wish to expose things which should be discovered by the player, so moving onto gameplay, which too, is phenomenal. Dying unfairly is not a thing. Every enemy poses a threat, from the rats in the sewer to the most monstrous abominations the size of buildings. The sounds and movements they make are truly disturbing. Animations are spectacular, hitboxes are perfection, and I have yet to play a game that does atmosphere better. Horror should horrify, and Bloodborne does that. It does it better than every horror movie. It never resorts to jump-scares, yet manages to instill a fear of the unseen and the oncoming. Bloodborne is insidious, and it is the pinnacle of game design. The interconnected architecture of Yharnam, to the labyrinth which is the Forbidden Woods, everything has been laid out in accordance to progression and purpose, suiting both the player and the world of the game. To me it's baffling how someone could think Bloodborne is light on story. It's a shame when people don't understand the depth of this game. I have nearly a 100 hundred hours clocked, and I still have things to do. It just never gets boring. It has a sense of discovery the first time you play it, and the much desired quality of replay-ability. I've never gone out of my way to start a new game plus before.

It is not ashamed of showing off streams of blood and deformed bodies. You know that a game is very violent if it has "blood" in the title. ANYWAYS. I will not spoil anything, go play it for yourself. Graphically... it could have been better. I don't know how it runs on a PS4 pro, but my normal version just sounds like a helicopter when i play it. It lacks dynamic lightning, making the textures look quite flat sometimes. Framerate drops when too many things are on the same screen... these things could have been polished for a better experience... but it doesn't decrease the rating at all. For the variety of enemies, weapons (which are considerably lower in number compared to Dark Souls, but are all unique with different abilities), characters and bosses, it deserves all of its praise.… Expand

    Juego increíblemente bueno que cuenta con una gran banda sonora, una gran jugabilidad, un apartado técnico de la época, una buena historia, etc. La única pega que tuve es que se me hizo corto, y los cálices eran repetitivos y al final cansaban.

    Bloodborne is no doubt a great game. The atmosphere and themes are awesome. The music is outstanding. The boss fights are amazing. The environments are cool. The combat is great and the Dlc is worth the money. Bloodborne does have its shortcomings however, such as the awful chalice dungeons, the lack of customisation, grinding, linearity etc. So it's far from flawless.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (9) Superb. Just shy of gaming nirvana, this score is a high recommendation because the game reviewed is head-and-shoulders above its competition.

    This was the first souls-like game that I ended up beating. All the other games of this genre combat feels delayed of how your character moves in relation to controller input but Bloodborne feels a lot smoother and more responsive. I liked the design for each area except for the swamp. World matches the atmosphere. Just like the other souls games my only gripe is how hidden the story is and makes you do a lot of research to figure out the story.    … Expand

    The best game FromSoftware has ever made, and one of the best games on the PS4. Hoping it gets a touch-up for PS5 or PC sometime soon, as the 30 fps cap on PS4 is the only issue with the game.

    First impressions upon entering the game world? Wow, visuals are fantastic. I loved the style. Most sound was good, the footsteps and walking through water were just your typical fair; but the atmosphere of ambient sound and visuals - when you combine those - make for such a surreal gaming experience. So spooky, fun, and pulse-pounding!

    Combat? I won't lie. After two hours of gameplay, I said, "This game is being traded in." It wasn't that the combat seemed tricky to me. It just seemed like it was TOO EASY to die. Truth is, it is VERY easy to die. What I learned from my first couple hours is.... don't be an idiot. Know your limits and base your gameplay off from those. Eventually your skill will grow and you'll be taking out Ogre's, werewolves, enormous rhinocerous/rat/gerbil/pig thingy's, and measly townspeople with ease.

    All I'm getting at is that I went from, "this game is too darn hard and it needs to get outta my library" to, "wow, this is one of the best games I've played. How can I possibly play any other game? They're all too easy!"

    Ultimately, give the game a chance. Learn the nuances of combat, evasion. Expect to die... A LOT. Learn from your deaths. Actually use that noggin for when you go after a boss for the 2nd, 3rd, or 10th time. This isn't a game that is forgiving. It's a game that's rewarding. Remember, that's how gaming used to be, and I think it's where gaming needs to go back. Higher difficulties, with actual learning curves, and creativity seem lost in most other games; but Bloodborne brings it back.

    The game has a difficulty level slighly above the average, but its rewarding and challeging, not frustrating.

    I'm really excited know to play the Soul's series.

    The only complaints that i have about Bloodborne is the long load time every time you die (about 40 sec sometimes) and the frame rate drops in some areas or when doing coop.

    Because of this technical problems, my rate for it would be 9.5.

    But once FromSoftware has promised to fix this issues at the present month, and due to a lot a people being really unfair to this game here, the final rate is going to be a solid 10.    … Expand

Even some of the sound effects such as climbing ladders are the same exact sound texture used in Dark Souls games. The mechanics feel almost the exact same as the Souls series except they took away the shield, putting an even greater emphasis on positioning and dodging when dealing with enemies as well as adding the trick weapons instead of allowing the player to two hand weapons. In addition by adding a firearm they made a more practical riposte technique than with the poor reach of shields in Souls games. Some of my only complaints are that some of the stats are definitely more useful than others and they dumbed down some of the stat factors such as item weight and player encumberance as well as removing any type of spells like they used to have in the Souls series. In addition there is a lack of variety when it comes to the depth of items or bosses, the game takes awhile in terms of hours for your first NG because the game is not linear and doesn't always require killing bosses in a set order and the world is large and the way to continue is not always obvious. But in terms of number of bosses and variety of weapons and armor, the Souls series outshines Bloodborne in those aspects. The visual appeal of the world in Bloodborne however, are absolutely stunning. The storytelling elements in Bloodborne are identical to that in the Souls series as well, with loose cutscenes, minimal npc dialogue and interaction, and many details about the world being revealed through optional side conversations with npcs found in the universe. In addition much of what you know about the world comes from items, as well as some found additionally from the safety of the Hunter's Dream. The addition of challenge dungeons was a great idea for extending gameplay.

    To sum it up, I love this game, it is a must-buy, but that being said I KNOW from software can do better! More depth!!    … Expand

    Even as a "Souls veteran", having beat both DeS, Dark and Dark Souls 2 at least once before, I went into Bloodborne quite excited but fearing it might be slightly forgettable since I've played so many of these games now.

    On the contrary, Bloodborne did everything that needed to be done, in order to take the Souls format a step further while avoiding it becoming stale.

    There are a few noticeable negatives and I have to point those out if you're on the fence. These are things that might throw put off some people completely, while others may see them as improvements:

    1) Total amount of items is overall quite less than in just about any other Souls game. There are still lots of unique items to find though.
    2) There is a shield, but there is no way you're gonna make a satisfying build out of it.
    3) Online PvE and PvP matchmaking systems are not as solid
    4) NPC stuff and covenants are there but there's certainly less of it.

    ...but while these things by themselves disappointed me, it's the entire experience as a whole that I feel is completely on par with any other Souls game.

    In my opinion, Demon's Souls has the best story and atmosphere, Dark Souls has a more cohesive feel to it while retaining a good lore and plot, Dark Souls 2 lacks the great story or plot (but wasn't totally lackluster!) but made up for it in its sheer amount of content. Bloodborne feels like it has most of those elements in there as well and manages to stand out as a unique, memorable and fully valid game compared to the rest in its own right.

    The big draw for me, is its visceral combat and mindblowing lore... and I say that, because I feel like the game has a great but simple appeal on its surface but once you get halfway through the campaign you realize there's much, much more to the lore than you might have ever expected, and it doesn't reuse too much from Souls at all.

    But enough about me trying to sell this game for you. If you want a game you can keep playing for anywhere between 40-100 hours on your PS4 and have 60$ to spare? Bloodborne is the **** and among my collection of TLoU Remastered, Dragon Age, Destiny etc. Bloodborne is the first PS4 title that I feel really makes my purchase of the console worthwhile in the best possible way.    … Expand

Bloodborne is an actual "game" that is not trying to squeeze a single extra penny out of you besides your original purchase price. Bloodborne is hard but you will find ways to overcome the intelligent (that's right "intelligent" not cheap) difficulty as you gradually become more familiar with the world and if you are fooled into listening to people who complaining about how unfairly tough and boring it is then they are simply rushing through it. This is not the type of game where you can get away with mindless behavior and if you don't pay attention to the surroundings then you are not experiencing it's lore.

    The game is not perfect, it has one or two minor framerate dips in an early area that I've noticed and after that I didn't see any more. There are other insignificant technical flaws that I wish they had taken the time to polish up but it is by no means something that affects the game's experience unacceptably. If From Software with Miyazaki ( Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 director) and Sony had asked for just another month before releasing the game to take care of these aforementioned bugs then Bloodborne would have been close to a perfect game in it's own realm.    … Expand

That's a given. However, there's nothing more joyful than finally defeating that boss that's killed you about 25 times. This game has made me feel so happy about myself just for surviving about 20 minutes on my own. It's the first game in years, in which I've actually cheered for myself after defeating a boss. Combat requires you be more offensive, as it rewards you majorly with the new "regain system". The way this system works is that you get hit, you lose a portion of your life, but that portion of your life is shown in a faded colour in the life-bar. You have a few seconds to get that life back by hitting the enemy as many times as you can. Guns aren't used for ranged attacks either *cue gasp* But instead, it's used as a defensive weapon, made for riposte and countering enemy attacks. That's a great idea, actually, as there's nothing more satisfying than staggering an enemy, and using a "visceral attack" on them. Visceral Attacks are just executions caused by countering, and give major critical damage. They can be used against bosses, at very high risk, but has to be done at least 6-7 times to them. This game does not hold your hand, and barely gives off any sort of story until the end.
