    A great experience all around. A world filled with mistery, enemies to defeat, and places to explore. While i would rate the bosses in the main game slightly lower than those in Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne is a special experience. It feels like the game has a soul.. a personality, and you can fall in love with it.

    Definitelly one of the best of what playstation has to offer. The only reason i dont give it a perfect 10, is because it could've been more polished, it has some technical problems, like framerate and bad camera placement when fighting very large bosses, and it lacks support for ps4 pro, which is a shame because playing this game in 60fps would've been awesome, though being honest, i was so immersed in the game i totally forgot about fps and resolution and i could forgive the game for all of It's short comings in the end.

    Highly recomend it if you like adventure games in which you play your own story.    … Expand

    Although Bloodborne has both the strongest start of any of the soulsborne games and the strongest combat system, the game gets progressively worse as it goes on, with the bosses being too easy or having annoying mechanics and enemy's seemingly placed with no rime or reason. Still a fantastic game regardless. just not my favorite soulsborne.

    Maybe this game just didn't age well. The controls are truly terrible. The progression is pointlessly erratic. I tried to play for a while but lost interest quickly. An exercise in frustration. It looks cool though.

    If someone ran up to me in the streets and asked if I wanted a Dark Souls game, with the combat speed cranked up to 11, the RPG mechanics refined to simplicity perfection, and have the settings & narrative be based on the really good parts of H.P. Lovecraft?

    I'd tell them that Bloodborne already exists, also why are you talking to me?

    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.

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

However despite this setback I still felt strongly that Bloodborne was an excellent game because of its incredible art design, level design, and fantastic combat and hoped that one day I could experience the full game. In 2019 I finally came back to the game & completed two playthroughs in quick succession and my gut feeling back in 2016 was correct, Bloodborne is one of the greatest games of the last decade. The combat is pretty close to perfection with precise controls balanced against phenomenal enemy & boss design to create a game that gets the adrenaline pumping like nothing else outside of FromSoftware's other titles. The art design is absolutely incredible nailing the look & feel of both Bram Stoker & HP Lovecraft while synthesizing their works into the perfect nightmare. The music & sound design is also fantastic providing a perfect complement to the visuals & creating a wonderful sense of atmosphere & place. Finally the game design (level, mechanics etc.) is some of the best I have ever seen as the fear of losing blood echoes perfectly pushes against the excitement of unlocking a shortcut, new level, or a new lamp making even the most minor moments feel important.

    Overall this game would be a easy 10/10 as it captivated me like few games have & made me a permanent fan of FromSoftWare.    … Expand

    This was my favorite of the "Souls" type game series.
    I liked the dark theme, and the level design. I do think the co-op in these games needs a bit of work. It is annoying having to redo the game 3 different times, because I like to play these with two other people. I would like to group up and go though once. So the co-op needs work. But the combat felt more fluid than the souls games.    This was my favorite of the "Souls" type game series.

    The story, like all these types of games, is missing. You need to find it in hidden lore, or piece together small bits of one sentences. Or else just make up your own assumptions. So there is no story to keep you drawn to the game. Luckily the game play itself was good. .    … Expand

    Miyazaki knows how to improve the formula for amazing, hard, unique and rewarding games. Bloodborne is not only a legitimate Soulsgame, it is an even more enjoyable game to play than all the rest of the Souls series. In this game you are not oppressed, but the oppressor, the hunter. The best Soulsgame is still Dark Souls, but this one is certainly the most fun.

    Bloodborne hace un trabajo increíble a nivel jugable. Un gran sistema de combate, un bien desarrollado tinte de RPG, un buen sistema de "puntos" y de niveles, una abrumadora cantidad de objetos que podemos utilizar. Todo envuelto en una dificultad abrasadora.

    Y lo de la dificultad es serio. El juego te castiga una y otra y otra vez, llegando a ser injusto en varias ocasiones. No obstante, FromSoftware ha logrado que dicha dificultad haga del juego aún más adictivo.
    Los Bosses hacen su trabajo y nos estancan por varios intentos, aunque siendo justos, varios jefes de la recta final son sencillos comparados con jefes del inicio.

    Como punto negativo a recalcar: el 80% del tiempo la dificultad no está en el Boss/enemigo/área sino en la horrible dirección de cámara. Leí por ahí que es intencional pero yo no me lo creo, me suena a una equivocación de optimización que decidieron nunca arreglar.

    La historia... muy a interpretación personal.

    GRÁFICOS.
    El estilo de arte gótico es estupendo. Visualmente es una aventura en sí misma.

    Bloodborne is my favorite game but it has 3 serious faults: The first is the video camera operated with the ass, the second are the hunters as they have infinite bullets and stamina and are of level much higher than yours, the third is that the enemies you can hit through the objects for the rest is very beautiful.

    If this game had proper frequent checkpointing and no stamina system then it would be not difficult at all. These games only have artificial difficulty. Actual challenging games have smart enemy A.I.
    Those games are challenging but still fair not like this.

    There is no story either and no "lore" does not count as story. Remove all the cutscenes and dialogue from Mass Effect and just leave the lore there and then tell me what the story actually is and not just your "interpretation" of it. It's a game with a bunch of levels, where you kill monsters with no explanation for anything even after the ending. It's the most archaic type of mainstream game I have seen this generation.    … Expand

    I love the dark souls series, but this elevates it even higher. The combat is so much faster than the dark souls games, and it encourages an aggressive playstyle rather than a defensive one. The world is amazing and beautiful, and this is on top of the best level design I've ever seen in any game

With limited options, you need to focus on the movements of you enemy, observe and think carefully, and decompose them before you can beat them.

    I absolutely love all the Souls out there... but for some reason I'm not really into this one. The framerate is for sure one of the reasons. I just can't play this after the DS remake which runs at 60fps, the difference is too much, especially for a title that is publicized as fast-paced.

    Interesting Lore and characters
    Faultless Boss fights

    The Weapons and Combat
    One of the best DLCs

    Pros: + Great Soundtrack. + Great atmosphere. +    at first i dropped this game due to being impatient and confused by it then i played and beaten Sekiro (which i think is a masterpiece) and decided to give BB another shot. and to my surprise, i've found one of the most in your face and beautiful worlds ever. i cant out right say its the best game ever like alot of guys say but imo

    + Great Soundtrack.

    + amazing world and is probably the scariest non scary game ever game. just crooked and full of gore no matter where you look.
    + Great Combat system ( each weapon almost opens a new way to play the game )
    + good RPG systems.
    + demands aggressiveness from you.
    + some bosses i found to be too easy but overall really good designed fights and mechanics on most of them.

    Mixed :

    +/- the delivery of the main plot. i mean at what point does vague become too vague? i finished the game and went HUH? what the hell just happen (other than the most obvious thing depending on your ending ofc) i had to go online right away and go deep into the Lore of the game and world they created, which is pretty amazing btw but i feel like it would be lost to most of the people.

    now for some of the cons

    - Framerate.. can dip anywhere and feels really not that smooth, the loading screens are pretty alright now after the performance patch but the framerate will still go south of 30 frequently.

    The game is incredible, however before I start telling why, I'll let you know that the game sure isn't for everybody, because of the very hard difficulty. Now, let's begin the review.

    Bloodborne stars with a short cutscene. You're about to get a blood transfusion. The game doesn't tell you why. It's also through this cutscene that you create your character. Once the cutscene is over,    The game is incredible, however before I start telling why, I'll let you know that the game sure isn't for everybody, because of the very hard difficulty. Now, let's begin the review.

    Bloodborne stars with a short cutscene. You're about to get a blood transfusion. The game doesn't tell you why. It's also through this cutscene that you create your character. Once the cutscene is over, you awake in the room where you got the blood transfusion. You instantly get the feeling that something's wrong in the city of Yharnam. Once you get outside of the building, you'll see beasts everywhere on the streets, and will encounter several people hiding inside their hopes. Welcome to Yharnam. This is pretty much the beginning of Bloodborne. The story itself in Bloodborne is very mysterious, like in the Dark Souls games, and you'll have to figure out a lot yourself. This is one of the reasons Bloodborne is so amazing. If you explore a lot, you'll get to better understand the lore of the game, and you'll also encounter new characters and side stories. The gameplay in Bloodborne is very, very satisfying. You'll also collect many different weapons. All the weapons has two modes, normal and transformed. For example, there's a cane that can transform into a whip, or a blade which transforms into a big scythe. The real star of the game though, are the bosses, all with unique patterns, phases, and even music. Now, the game is very hard. Not only when fighting bosses, but also the regular enemies, hence why the game isn't for everyone. But, do not let this scare you off. I myself wasn't really into hard games before playing Bloodborne, but I tried it, and feel in love with it. There's just nothing comparable to the feeling of satisfaction you get once you finally beat that boss you've been stuck on for hours.
    The game also allows you to get help from other players if you're stuck, although I wouldn't recommend this, because it's simply more amazing beating the game on you're own.
    Even the graphics in Bloodborne are great, though I personally could've used some more detail on the faces, but you won't much time looking on them, so it doesn't matter. What matters though, it that you, if you haven't already, give Bloodborne a go.    … Expand
