    This is one of the only games I can truly call a masterpiece. This is one of the best games I've ever played. There's almost no drawbacks other than some fps issues.

    Buy this game. You need this in your life if you're interested in video games at all.

    The game is unique. It has it's own style. I respect that. But sometimes it feels a bit too slow. It feels a bit PS3 mechanics comparing Sekiro (Yes yes I know Sekiro is a newer game but still). Beside that it is quite difficult which is okay. Biggest boss is the camera. I hate it. Especially if you are fighting against giant bosses. Camera is terrible.

    Bloodborne es la evolución más frenética de la fórmula Souls, ofreciéndonos un combate tremendamente inmersivo cimentado en dos aspectos: esquivar y atacar. Con una banda sonora épica, un entorno lúgubre y jefes finales inolvidables, este exclusivo dirigido por Miyazaki es uno de esos títulos que todos deberíamos tener en el catálogo de PlayStation 4.

The feeling of accomplishment after defeating a boss is the best feeling I have ever gotten from playing a video game. The fast paced combat is enough to constantly keep you on your toes and engaged. I have played the souls-series for a long time now. And after I played Bloodborne, they can't even compare. They are masterpieces in their own right, at least the first one, anyways. But they are epics. This feels more relatable. I will play this when I'm 80 and retired.… Expand

Even when game ended, I didn't understand anything. I am not fan of reading notes and description of the item, because for me this is very complicated way to show lore. But even with missing lore this didnt ruin the overall impression from the game.
    A bit about how hard is this game, because this was always the most important thing in souls game. In 2019 You cant find any help from people, because most likely almost noone play this game anymore, so co op player to assisst you will be extremely hard to find. But there are a lot of co op AI players around the world, who will help you with bosses. In general I am not the best souls player (I never played Dark Souls) and I found hard to parry and block attack. Used almost non consumable (except health potions and bullets of course). Passed game for around 30 hours (no dlc, no dungeons, and most likely in this labyrinth I have missed some side quests and bosses). Why I am saying this. For everyone who think that this is some over complicated game where you will wipe for hours on every boss. This is not true. Most likely their is some side bosses which are harder, but 50% of late game I have killed up to 5-6 trys. Few of them even from first try or second. I used on 4 bosses co op AI controlled ally to kill them and I am sure that on at least 2 of them I could kill without help, cos they died on second try. Is this cheat to use help? I dont know, after all thats why you have such ability in the game and if someone find hard time to kill some boss, why not. There was only 1 boss on which I wiped for about 5 hours, but after it, everything else was piece of cake. I dont see how someone can call this game very hard (and again I am talking about main plot, because side quests are easily skipable if you cant kill complete them). Maybe not the easiest one which I play, but for sure it wasn't something extra ordinary, which cant be completed with in game tools. Maybe if you are lazy to level up and you want to pass it on level 40 it wont work, but I have completed it on lvl 80-85 and it was piece of cake.    … Expand

    Played for the first time in 2019 (bought my first PS4) and had a great time. It's scarier than most horror games, actioner than most action games and adventurer than most adventure games. The combat is fast and instigating. The enemies are extremely punishing and well designed. The map is maze-like and pretty easy to get lost which adds to the exploration and overall tension of the atmosphere. Even the graphics still hold up 4 years after it's release.

    The story is told in the traditional way From uses. Subtle and sparse lines of dialog sprinkled here and there, and item descriptions tell most of the plot of bloodborne. It can be confusing at times but once you wrap your head around all of it and put the pieces together you'll discover a rich and very thought provoking story.

    And the sounstrack, oh boy, the soundtrack... Thunderous, menacing, terrfying, glorious... are the words that come to mind when i try to describe how it sounds.

However its still a long process after you die. IMHO there should be a checkpoint before every boss.

    IMHO there should be a checkpoint before every boss. We could still lose blood for that but make it possible to not lose my precious time "running". The frustration from dying in boss fight is not from dying itself and being able to kill the boss. The frustration comes from having to run 1-3 minutes or having to farm again potions.

    If you use your pots on a fight, you then need to refarm them in order to increase your chance of winning.

    Of course you can do everything without pots etc. however if it's your first run and you don't want to watch Youtube of how to beat the boss and get the feeling on your "own" then you will probably die at boss fights at least a few times before learning its moves.

    The "running" part makes this game unbearable for me. I tried. I beated a few bosses and had pretty good fun. Really cool, unique enemies however dying part is frustrating, not because of 'difficulty' which is really a blast, but because of how game makes you run to boss.

    If you value your time as much as I do, then do not buy. If you have plenty of time, you like difficult games and this minus doesn't bother you then this is a great game.    … Expand

It's an amazingly simple system compared to other action games like Ninja Gaiden, but the fact that every hit inflicted or taken counts towards victory or failure, the mechanics of the game push you to ascend to expertise without rarely feeling artificial. The beginning is rough. You're gonna die. You're gonna die again before you can pick up your dropped experience points, and thus lose them forever. You might lose 50,000 blood echoes or more during an unfortunate run. You're going to run out of healing items, bullets, weapon buffs, your weapon might even break mid-fight. It's okay, because without these potential failures, Bloodborne wouldn't be so rewarding. So damn satisfying. Everything about the game, from the map design, lack of an in-game map, the enemy placements and design, down to your very core abilities as an immortal hunter pushes you to fail, then succeed. Once you have the ins and outs figured out, you'll be dodging, rolling, swinging and parrying with ease, instinctively. You'll learn not to think, but react. You'll memorize huge landscapes and know them just like your local streets, weaving from zone to zone, methodically juking enemies when you prefer not to fight. You'll learn to use your blood echoes effectively. Before you learn, you'll suck, but once you find your feet, you'll be slaying beasts effectively from mobs to larger than life bosses. Is it worth the time to get good? Is the initial dying phase worth the headache? YES. This game isn't for everyone, but it's the game for me. Twisted, macabre beasts prowl every nook and cranny of Yharnam. Bosses tower over you and force you to play methodically, if you mash buttons you will not succeed. NG+ cycles keep the difficulty fresh, and it's infinitely replayable because there are so many combinations of playstyles and tactics that 250+ hours in across four characters, I'm still perfecting my runs and trying various tactics that once seemed beyond my abilities. Whenever I buy a new game, once I beat it or get bored, I almost always go back to Bloodborne. It's like Resident Evil 4, but with big swords and cleavers and a give no mercy attitude. I can't stress it enough-- 250 hours, and I'm nowhere near being done with the game. I'll still be playing it 20 years for now I'm sure. Yes, it has frame pacing issues. Yes, farming for vials can be tedious. Yes, the chalice dungeons pretty much suck. It's not perfect. But it's pretty damn close and I think it's going to take quite, quite a lot for another game to take my #1 spot.… Expand

This game promotes and in some cases does outright demand that you learn to dodge and USE YOUR GUN! Your gun is used to parry enemies and unlike the souls series, almost ALL are parry-able (with some obvious exceptions). I've got multiple friends who tried to play Bloodborne and said it was unfair and when I watched them play they almost never dodged, NEVER parried, and forgot that stamina was a thing. This would have ruined the game for them, but when I told them about these mechanics they quickly fell in love with the game. Hbomberguy, while I disagree with some of his points (not using shields is the right way to play, chalice dungeons are terrible etc), he makes a lot of good points to why Bloodborne is a great game and goes much more in depth than my dumb one.

    THIS GAME IS BLOODY MASTERPIECE!

    And I am not fan of Dark Souls. I have never played anything from "From Software" and I am more God of War type of player, or ... I was. At very beginning I felt same guys as you... I died a looot of times. I wanted to give up as after hours of playing I was not able to pass the mob around burning tree. This game will give you no explanation on what happened and why you are there. Control and combat system is not what I was used to from another games, but after getting used to it I can say it is very precise and comfortable, aggressive and brutal.

    For God of War type players it is truly frustrating to be in Yharnam without any magic or demigod powers. You are just a man with big axe against beasts out of imaginaton.

    Once I started to dig in, gain more experience on how does this game work and I explored the FANTASTIC lore I GOT BEST GAME EXPERIENCE. The lore is the best I have ever seen. This is true HORROR. Hollywood completely forgot what HORROR genre represents. It is not **** zombies, too much blood or screen jumpers. It is about this complete feeling of dread, fear to move forward or backwards because you can lose everything you accomplished... this game elevated lovecraftian horror to the new level and developed all Lovecraft's sketches in the best and most original adaptation ever.

    Yes, now I am bloody fan of it. Complete lunatic! You may think this game is not for you. I got it. It is not for everyone. But please, keep your weeping thoughts for yourself. I cannot stand this **** shallow arguments like "I was playing it for 10 hours and found only 1 lamp thats why I score it with 1!"    … Expand

    This one is a long time coming, a very unnecessary review, and probably incredibly biased. But, whatever, I can't help it...

    Let's start off by saying that I only ever got to play this game a year and some change after its release. I never had a PS4 around its launch, and everyone was talking about this new Sony exclusive that came from the minds behind Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1    This one is a long time coming, a very unnecessary review, and probably incredibly biased. But, whatever, I can't help it...

    Let's start off by saying that I only ever got to play this game a year and some change after its release. I never had a PS4 around its launch, and everyone was talking about this new Sony exclusive that came from the minds behind Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 (two games I have a very high respect and love for, with the latter formerly taking up the number 2 spot on my favorite games list of all time.). So, the anticipation for this grungy, gothic, action-RPG adventure with an emphasis on horror was nigh unbearable. And once I finally did play it, oh wow...

    Gameplay: If anyone's a fan of the "Souls" style of gameplay, then this has it as a standard, but there are a few twists and changes that expertly transform it into an aggressive fight for survival. Weapons, though limited in quantity, are unique, varied, relatively swift to utilize, and always have the ability to transform into something brutal, setting up for impressive combos in a way that hasn't really been attempted in the FromSOFT Souls series before or since. Sidearms have a satisfying kick to them, and all have their pros and cons, but all demand a try to see if they suite your playstyle. Enemies are varied and vicious from the mundane to the grotesque. Bosses are monumental events of pure terror (aside from maybe one boss battle). And even after you've scoured and picked clean the main game and the DLC, there's still the randomly generated Chalice Dungeons if you want a little extra challenge and bang for your buck. This isn't even talking about the still very much alive multiplayer scene. Hell, even if you can't get a session started with a random, you can always call up your buddies, set up a password system, and go from there! Bloodborne has its variety in such a simple and rock solid way.

    Story: Like all FromSOFT "Souls" games, the basic story is simple, but the devil is in the details. You are a sick outsider, trying to find a cure for an unknown illness you have, finding your way to Yharnam, a "city of healing". However, in order to get into the city and even have a chance to be cured, you must join "The Hunt". Once given a blood transfusion as your initiation, the nightmare begins, and it's your task to solve the city's secrets, and survive. From the visual aspects of the game, to NPC chatter, right to item descriptions, you'll be learning far more about this land of terror than you'd ever want to know.

    Visuals: The whole world is this beautiful symphony of Victorian Gothic and Lovecraftian horror, highly and disgustingly detailed with all sorts of nuances that paints a very vivid and very disturbing picture of a city with a miracle cure gone wrong. It will all seem relatively classic and tame at first, but the further you dive in, the more twisted and maddening the world becomes, and every local will hit you with some unexpected and recognizable (and sometimes strangely beautiful) design inspired by various subgenres to horror, and keep you immersed even as your slaying bloodsoaked monsters. If you aren't a fan of horror, then this may just steer you away from the get go... With all this said, there are a few visual bugs that attempt to pull you from the immersion, but they are few and far between and not THAT big of an issue.

    Final: Dark Souls 1 was my second favorite game of all time, for its open ended story telling, satisfying gameplay, and interesting locals. However, from the moment I played this game to the time I put it down for a short time, Bloodborne has long since taken that spot, blowing it away in nearly every category, and injected itself into my life and the lives of millions of players around the world. It is one HELL of a game, and perhaps the best survival horror action RPG you'll ever play (as if there are many that would even attempt and successfully execute such a tricky balance).

    Oh, and if you're an old school gamer and loved Nightmare Creatures back in the N64/PS1 era, this game is also for you.    … Expand

    Good: + boss fights are satisfying, even epic in some cases + difficulty is well balanced, the game is hard but not unfair + OSTs are really good + like in Souls games the story/lore is interesting but mostly hidden, so there's room for the players to discuss and speculate Bad: - the world is rather repetitive    Here are my thoughts after finishing the main story and the DLC.

    + difficulty is well balanced, the game is hard but not unfair
    + OSTs are really good
    + like in Souls games the story/lore is interesting but mostly hidden, so there's room for the players to discuss and speculate

    Bad:

    - the world is rather repetitive and monochromatic. Everything is dark, gory and disturbing, with very few exceptions (the DLC is way better in this respect)
    - the combat feels a little laggy and clunky, probably due to the low frame rate
    - scenarios are well detailed but feel "empty", there's barely any secret or chance of interaction
    - gameplay gets repetitive after a while. The only interesting mechanic is the parry/riposte with the fire gun, which is highly effective but needs to be mastered (that's not a bad thing)
    - a big portion of the story/lore is revealed in the chalice dungeons, which are procedurally generated. As a result, every floor looks the same and has the same rooms. I quit after beating the Watchdog, because I couldn't stand it anymore

    Conclusions: boss battles and story/lore are what kept me interested until the end. Everything else either disappointed me or left me unimpressed. I give it a 6 (5 points for the main game and 1 bonus point for the DLC, which is by far the best part of the game IMO). If you really like the kind of atmosphere this game delivers, you'll probably enjoy it a lot more than me.    … Expand

    I picked this game up back when it first came out and instantly fell in love. When I got home from school I would immediately jump back in and play it nonstop, sometimes staying up way later than I should. So just how good was it? Well...

    Pros -
    Where do I even start? Okay well first off the game looks absolutely gorgeous even by today's standards, seriously I can boot this up right now and still adore every inch of the beautifully crafted city of Yarnham, a city that feels like a mash of H.P. Lovecraft and Victorian England. The games great look coupled with the amazing sound design means the games atmosphere is just as chilling as you'd expect given the games setting, this game is just oozing with amazing atmosphere.

    The game play is honestly my favorite out of any of the Souls games. It has the same extremely difficult but rewarding combat of the other games but with a more action heavy, more fast paced twist. Unlike the games before it blocking isn't really taken into consideration but instead super fast reaction times and pattern memorization. Also it definitely feels pretty cool to equip your Hunter with more powerful weapons and armor as well as leveling them up using Blood Echoes (this game's version of souls) but it never makes you feel to powerful so simply leveling up can help in a fight but won't make or break a fight. Much like the Dark Souls game you can find notes from other players that may or may not be helpful, its cool but you'll ignore more often than not.

    Some may take issue with the very bare bones story that is really only told through the occasional NPC and collectible but honestly I love it. The fact that most of it is hidden away and told mostly through vague lines actually adds to the mysterious lovecraftian feeling of the game.

    Cons -

    I honestly don't have that many cons with this game. There was the long loading screens at launch but those have since been fixed. I suppose if I had to nitpick I could point out how It could've been a bit longer but that's really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    Verdict -

    I absolutely adore this game. Seriously it's not just one of my favorite games of this generation but one of my favorite games of all time. It's amazing to look at, amazing to listen to, and amazing to play. It's also got a pretty cool DLC. If you haven't played this yet than you really need to because you are missing out, it's part of the Greatest Hits collection so you should be able to get it relatively cheap.    … Expand

    - the gameplay is fast and fun, hard but not frustrating;
    - some of the best boss fights out there;
    - the game is pretty long (depends on how much you explore and how good you are, i would say at least 35 - 40 hours without the dlc) and have replayability;
    - hard but fair;
    - the trick weapons are a lot of fun!

    CONS
    - few suitable builds, especially in the first run: going tanky or magician or longranged is not impossible, but harder than other Souls games and with not a lot of options;
    - the pvp is a little lacking and coventants not fleshed out;    … Expand

    Bloodborne delivers an exhausting and exhilarating journey into the depths of horror and madness. Polished gameplay, outstanding art direction, intricate level design and challenging enemies. This is the culmination of the Souls-Borne formula.

    Bloodborne is... Totally spectacular!

    It starts mainly in a good way and ends with an exquisite ending, an extremely PERFECT soundtrack, the graphics are not the best but they are not inside being bad; characters, bosses and enemies very well done with a mysterious aesthetics, as well as the story he wants to tell us. The difficulty is high, so if it's your first FromSoftware style    Bloodborne is... Totally spectacular!

    The difficulty is high, so if it's your first FromSoftware style game, please be patient.

    Bloodborne is one of those titles that when you reach its end, only makes you want to press X to the NEW GAME option a thousand times.

    A game worth trying at least once in your life. And if you doubt it, stop doing it and go buy it NOW. You won't regret listening to me.

    I never appreciate the game 10 points, because 10 points is a perfect game that has not yet been created. But bloodborne gets 8, because the game is just great. Very good combat mechanics, level design, and interesting mobs and bosses, as well as good sound, and the world mysterious and addictive

    Por fin me he atrevido a introducirme en el género establecido por la saga Souls y qué menos que comenzar por la obra más llamativa (en mi opinión) de Miyazaki: Bloodborne.

    Todos los juegos de este corte (Dark Souls, Lords of the Fallen, The Surge, etc.) nunca me han llamado, ni en jugabilidad ni en gameplay como tal, pues me considero un jugador más de acción directa, aunque me encanten los RPG.

    Bien. Con Bloodborne he aprendido que este tipo de juegos (especialmente la obra de Miyazaki) requieren su tiempo y reflexión. Me explico: Bloodborne, al igual que los Souls imagino, es un juego que te pide más a tí como jugador de lo que tu le puedes pedir a él, y no me refiero a que te pida habilidad a la hora de hacer frente a los combates. No. Bloodborne te pide que te sumerjas, que te dediques cada minuto que juegues en cuerpo y alma a la obra. Te pide que aprecies cada rincón del impresionante diseño de niveles que tiene (sinceramente uno de los mejores que he visto jamás en un videojuego), te pide que te intereses por su lore; te pide mucho más de lo que puedes esperar de él.

    Resumiendo, Bloodborne roza la excelencia en prácticamente todos sus apartados: sensacional diseño de escenarios, ambientación y gameplay, así como de su estilo artístico e historia. La gran mayoría de bosses y los lugares que exploras hasta combatirlos son sencillamente sublimes.

    Pero no todo es un camino de rosas en Bloodborne, puesto también tiene fallos y algunos no entiendo cómo ni por qué, y son el motivo de por qué a este título no le voy a poner un 10 de nota. No puedo comprender por qué no se han dignado siquiera con lo impresionante que es el resto del juego técnicamente a meter unas simples animaciones faciales para ningún PNJ: no mueven ni siquiera la boca al hablar. Una vez más, el diseño de los personajes que el jugador puede crearse son horribles y si bien es cierto que el 95% del juego te lo vas a pasar con un casco, yelmo o máscara en la cabeza chirría muchísimo lo dejada que está la creación del personaje. También, personalmente, he tenido a veces ciertos fallos con las hitboxes del escenario tanto con mis ataques como con los de los enemigos, y como muchos saben, un golpe en estos títulos puede suponer la vida o la muerte.

    Me ha encantado perderme durante varias horas por los asombrosos escenarios, explorar hasta el último rincón de cada zona e incluso el farmeo de ecos de sangre que debería ser algo 'tedioso'. He disfrutado cada segundo que he pasado jugando a Bloodborne. Sin duda, uno de los mejores títulos exclusivos del catálogo de PlayStation 4.

    PD: Tampoco es tan difícil si tienes algo de paciencia, y aun no teniéndola como yo, no me he enfadado ni una sola vez en más de 35-40 horas que me ha durado la aventura.

But after playing dark souls 3, i think that game is better buy much. The bossfights felt a lot better.

Go to the DLC to pick shards and slab and you can have many ways of playing the game. Also, i felt so little variety in Bloodborne.

    Great game, I love the fact that it's faster paced than the other Souls game and the very Lovecraftian feel of it all. I do find it less replayable than DS3, for example, as the world is smaller and much more linear and the builds are more limited. The game remains beautiful and fun however, one of my favourite gaming experiences.

    One of the most overrated games Ive ever played. The gaming snobs/elitists love this, well, here’s a 0 for you nerds. Go play something else instead of circle jerking over a game on critic/aggregate sites.
