    I don’t understand the Souls games. Never have, never will. I keep trying them, but I have the same experience each time. I can’t get into the combat, it’s the same as every other Souls game. It feels way too loose and imprecise. Every feels like it’s on ice and the hit detection is really poor.

The graphics hold up pretty decently as well. But I will never understand the hype around these games. I like challenging games, but Souls games always feel challenging because the controls are so loose. Maybe it’s just not for me, but I’m officially done trying with them.… Expand

    A spectacular and almost perfect action game.
    Full of great battles and a charming lore.
    The only issue is the framerate but, besides that, the game is a must play for every action games lover.

    It's only getting a 7 for me as I was not able to play DLC. Why you ask? It's because straight away after defeating a last boss you are being thrown to ng+ without option to backtrack. Therefore I didn't want to play again same area and face way too challenging for my level DLC.
    It's a stupid design and ruin the DLC for me.

This has been dumbed down for casuals hence the high score, stats hmm such a vast array to choose from ( sarcasm ) , clothing items sure if you like black, you start with the saw weapon and there is no reason to change it, you also get a gun just chuck that in the bin it's useless and equip a torch it's more useful. Most of the enemies all look the same and that includes the bosses. As far as I know this is the only from soft game with noises a child would make, Kos please stop screaming but he's not the most anoying, the most anoying is the 2nd to last boss who shouts Bam every 10 seconds, just shut the **** up and one last one some dude just runs about a building talking about Kos, that boss was just plain anoying. Anyone who says this game is hard has clearly been using a summons while playing darksouls. Blind playthrough i died once by the time I had killed the 3rd boss, most bosses are either a first or 2nd attempt. If you want and easier challenge than dark souls then sure go for it but if you're looking for something of similar or harder then stear well clear. It's still an ok game, I just found it a bit boring by the end… Expand

    Una obra de arte del gran Miyazaki, con una ambientación de estilo gótica con un diseño de arte brutal. Muy frenético y los combates mucho más dinámicos que otros juegos de Miyazaki. La dificultad de los bosses va en aumento de principio a fin y el lore es bastante bueno y complejo.

But the next thing that Bloodborne gets right is pacing and gameplay.
    There aren't too many NPCs in the game and the ones you follow doesn't have happy endings either, making Bloodborne's world more cryptic and dark.
    The boss fights all benefit from such high qualities that ranking them is really hard, each one of them demands a specific skiil from you or sometimes a set of skills to get pass.
    Environment story-telling in Bloodborne is at its peak because Bloodborne doesn't tell you everything right at the start, you are left to truly understand and suck this world yourself. Bloodborne is a fast-paced atmospheric RPG masterpiece that will haunt you during each JRPG run you do.    … Expand

    Story and setting is interesting, but the poor framerates even on PS5 makes this unplayable for me. I get headaches after playing just 30 minutes. (happens only with Bloodborne) I firmly believe people are forgiving so much crap in Bloodborne just because it's From Software title.
    Until 60fps option, it's a 6 for me.

    Oh my God. How the hell has a game with such floaty controls got a score like this. I have smoked my whole life, I drink too much, I'm slightly over weight, I do plenty to mess with my body but if some fool swung their arms at me that slow they would be getting knocked the **** out. But that's me, never mind some bad ass monsters.

    I played this game twice for about 5 minutes and hated it    Oh my God. How the hell has a game with such floaty controls got a score like this.

But that's me, never mind some bad ass monsters.

    I played this game twice for about 5 minutes and hated it both times. There are literally 10s of 1000s of games with tighter controls. If the main character is someone that I could knock out in 2 seconds, then the game is piss poor from the get go. Games in the 90's were way better on the controls. I can't be arsed doing gay finger gymnastics for no reason. The buttons in the first 5 minutes just felt a bit unnecessary as I find with many PS4 games, as if adding more buttons means better gameplay.

    So yeah it is gonna be full of gore and blood and guts and monsters, or creatures getting mashed up, I'm not 12, it doesn't excite me, I don't find any shock factor in that. So what is there to enjoy? Not a lot. I can't say I know anyone that goes on holiday to look at grey and brown derelict buildings. I am here with a game though that is shoving grey and brown at me. You know the colours of mud and the sky when it's going to rain. Ugly **** Yes I know this is the theme of the game but it doesn't make it any less drab.

    The gothic buildings have a nice design, plus 1 point but the game did nothing but turn me off from the start, so it loses that point again.

    I don't know what I expected here but I didn't expect it to feel like my character was being controlled over a dial up internet connection. It was like slow motion. This game was over before it began for me, to sum it up, I guess clunky would be the best word.

    Not for me.    … Expand

The boss design is only second best to Dark Souls 3 and the DLC expands on that even more. The level and art design also helps it to stand out, taking initially a Transylvanian aesthetic before merging it into pure Lovecraftian eldritch terror. The lore and story, while taking a back seat to the gameplay (as it should), is very unique and makes one of the most unique and well executed takes on a Lovecraft-style story.

    I will say this game is sadly held back by the hardware of the PS4, even the pro has some unfortunate framerate dips. That said, if you have a PS4, you are doing yourself a disservice to not even attempt the game (the difficulty is still a turnoff to some). But for those that are ready to accept the challenge, enter into Yharnam for one of the best games on the PS4.    … Expand

You are severely underpowered, and I don't think in these 4 hours any character spoke. There is absolutely NO story to speak of whatsoever. There's no sense of any kind of progression. in the first 20 minutes you run into a boss who's CLEARLY meant to be fought against late-game (some giant bird on a bridge). The devs decided "let's throw a bunch of cool stuff together haphazardly and then forgot to add a story.

    Honestamente, creo que Bloodborne es de las mejor exclusiva de PS4.

Honestamente no hace mucho que he jugado este juego, lo empecé a inicios de 2020 y a pesar de haber jugado muchos títulos, en el dicho año he completado la campaña de Bloodborne hasta 5 veces. Realmente estamos ante uno de los mejores juegos en cuanto a atmósfera se refiere, Yharnam es de los mejores mundos que he experimentado en un juego de vídeo, el diseño de la mayoría de zonas es espeluznantemente hermoso, más si lo sumas con unos gráficos oscuros tan ambientalistas y un diseño de niveles que, si bien no alcanza la perfección del primer Dark Souls, llega a destacar para bien. La jugabilidad es de las más exquisitas y satisfactorias en los ARPG, es un Souls y puede llegar a ser monótono el hecho de spammear el R1 y el círculo, más aquí donde las formas de jugar están mucho más limitadas, pero como todos estos juegos, desde esquivar un ataque de instakill o hacer un parry llega a ser de los pequeños placeres de la vida, y más en este título que si bien, es mas o menos parecido a sus precuelas espirituales, es mucho más intenso y frenético. Los jefes son de los mejores, para mí los mejores de toda la saga, combates realmente intensos con una dificultad alta, que además se vuelven más fuertes y más terroríficos conforme pasa el combate. La historia y el lore son excelentes en todo sentido, quiero hacer una review sin spoilers (a 6 años del lanzamiento del título) pero los giros de trama son para morderse los dientes, a pesar de estar "narrado" como está el juego, el trasfondo y la historia de Yharnam es espeluznante y desgarradora, y de las más interesantes y originales de juego alguno, la manera de tratar los temas presentados en este juego es de los mejores y más detallados que se han hecho, hasta afectando en la jugabilidad en este aspecto. Los NPCS no son tan memorables como en otros juegos de la compañía, pero hay bastantes que tienen mucho que ofrecer.
    Definitivamente es un juego que tiene realmente gotas de excelencia demasiado altas, pero como todo en la vida, no es perfecto, y tiene algunos defectos que me agradaría comentar.
    El DLC hace que el juego base se sienta incompleto, es más, pasa realmente en todos los juegos de la saga Souls, es más bruscamente pronunciado en DS2 pero aún así, al menos también me pasa en BB. Y es que From pone tanto empeño en los DLCs que terminan teniendo los mejores jefes, zonas e incluso bandas sonoras, y dejan a los juegos base como una experiencia que se siente icompleta, ya que a pesar de que tienen alta calidad de por si, lo mejor suele perderse.
    Las mazmorras del cáliz son el peor contenido del juego, no motivan al jugador a seguir adelante y realmente aburren, no hay tantas recompensas interesantes más que algunas para farmear materiales, y realmente la mayoría de jefes son de baja calidad o directamente reciclados, es obvio que solo los que busquen el platino irán a pasárselas mas nadie.
    Y por último, Bloodborne, a pesar de que tiene su propia personalidad, se siente como un Dark Souls más rápido. Al menos yo, siento a este juego como un spinoff de los souls, ya que la mayoría de animaciones, varias mecánicas e incluso items, no son similares, si no que idénticos a Dark Souls. Esto puede ser bueno o malo, dependiendo a quién, pero a pesar de que Bloodbrone recompensa más el ataque y la agresividad que castigar a tus enemigos, y hace el gameplay menos táctico y más Hack and Slash, se puede jugar muy similar a un Dark Souls. Realmente, si buscas una experiencia totalmente diferente a lo acostumbrado, ve por Sekiro, que si la ofrece, pero me parece que Bloodborne, es más como un toque refrescante y mejor pulido a los juegos anteriores. Aún con sus defectos, Bloodborne me parece una de las mejores obras que se lanzaron en la generación pasada, es realmente de mis juegos favoritos y lo recomiendo a todos los que tengan una PS4 y estén dispuestos a cualquier reto, es artísticamente hablando la mejor obra creada por FromSoftware y Hidetaka Miyazaki, uno de los mejores y merecidamente apreciados desarrolladores de videjouegos. Todos los SoulsBorne, incluyendo Sekiro, son dignos de ser jugados debido a la autenticidad que ofrecen y la filosofía tan honesta que conllevan, a mi me cambiaron totalmente la percepción del videojuego, y con todo esto, considero a Bloodborne como el mayor pico de calidad que han alcanzado.    … Expand

    Well i was never a big fan of the souls formula but Bloodborne did me well. The story is basically non-existent if you don't dig deep into the lore but the gameplay is so delicious and fast-paced. Bloodborne is intense action and terror through a gothic and dark world and if you like those things bloodborne will serve you well.

    Bloodborne is a fantastic example of how to do a spiritual successor of a series of hardcore games for hardcore gamers. Instead of simply rehashing the formula for the Demon/Dark Souls series, Bloodborne takes the basic core components and aesthetic, and repurposes them for a brand new 'Dark' Victorian setting and entirely new gameplay elements to 'Get Good' at.

    Much like the Souls    Bloodborne is a fantastic example of how to do a spiritual successor of a series of hardcore games for hardcore gamers. Instead of simply rehashing the formula for the Demon/Dark Souls series, Bloodborne takes the basic core components and aesthetic, and repurposes them for a brand new 'Dark' Victorian setting and entirely new gameplay elements to 'Get Good' at.

    Much like the Souls series, Bloodborne basks in the rich moonlight of it's darkly cryptic (and somewhat obscure) narrative and labyrinthian design of its horrific world. Where Bloodborne truly distinguishes itself is it's combat - while the basic fundaments mimic Dark Souls superfluous combat design, Bloodborne demands a more aggressive approach to most encounters. In Bloodborne you will find no shields (well, actually you'll find just one), meaning that the only defence is a good offence. Instead of timidly entering a room or stepping into the fray with shield raised, you must rely on your speed and wits to win battles. Replacing the absent shield is your trusty firearm, a weapon that is intended to stun enemies instead of significantly damaging them. Furthermore, Bloodborne rewards risky and aggressive tactics - when taking damage from an enemy attack you have a limited window of opportunity to retaliate and regain your lost health with retaliatory strikes.

    While I can't say that I've finished Bloodborne, I can say that it is a masterpiece - a dark and disturbing masterpiece that will live on in the minds, hearts, and 'Souls' of hardcore fans. To the completers of this game, I salute you. To the uninitiated, I bid to you to try, but also be warned for this is not your usual mainstream game.

    As always - Praise the Sun.    … Expand

    0 for the story which is none
    0 for game design which is straight from the 90s with all its cons
    0 for a game engine
    0 for help system which is none

    I played ds1, ds3 with DLC, i'm no great player that's for sure but I'm not completely incompetent. I spent 20 hours on BB and stopped at orphan of kos. Never again.

    Bloodborne was to me the most painful and worthless experience in all the games I played in console ever. Not only I lost my time, I felt raped by a degrading, humiliating, violent and plain mean game designed to puke at human beings and make them feel bad.

    I'm okay with challenging game, but this is too much, this and maps layout designed to kill the player on the slightest and most unfair mistake. That's why I'm giving it a 1. The game is great, but designers were **** on purpose and I feel I did not deserved such treatments.

    I intended to do every soul games, I'm guessing my journey ends here.

    I'll keep at heart the dark soul licence which I love.

    Update on 23/04/2021:

    I beat the orphan after 4h30 of grinding and then I blazed through the game. I beated every boss of the DLC I'm only missing 3 in total, all of that so that I may have the right of my own opinion.

    My score will remain the same : Bloodborne is from the beginning to the end, a sadistic, gruelsome and unfair game which does not give you any sense of fulfilment. The graphics, story, atmosphere, whatever you want are all butchered by the frustration I had playing. I did not enjoyed this game.

    Bloodborne is strictly overrated. If you're looking for a challenge, go for it, but its not an enjoyable one.    … Expand

    but my complain is that there isn't any real defensive options there's just a dodge so it's really hard to get used to and playing it slow like the souls series won't work and the healing system is really bad in my opinion.now let's talk about map design : the map design in this game is pretty linear however some areas are connected which is really good. the lanterns are pretty well placed but the map design sadly isn't even close to dark souls 1.now lets talk about the boss fights and music : the bosses in this game are mostly really damn good and fun to fight but some of them are bullsh.t, they have broken hit boxes and get stuck lol. the music in this game is fantastic sadly not as good as dark souls 3 and 1. now the classes : the amount of classes in this game are sadly not as good or much as the souls series so it isn't as replayable as the souls series. now the pvp : the pvp in this game is ehh its alright i dont really have anything to say about it. the npc's in this game are just too good i love all of them they just feel different from the souls series and that's what makes them special.overall i give it a 8.5 out of 10. it has been reported that it's coming to pc and ps5 with a remaster in a few months so hopefully the pc players and xbox,switch players that have a pc can play it.    … Expand

    Bloodborne is the type of game that you'll either hate or love or love to hate and hate to love. When I first started to play this game I hated it. I hated it for making me start levels all over again after dying multiple times. I hated it for its random difficulty spikes and arrogant stun locks from both enemies and bosses. I've never played the Dark Souls games so I went into BloodborneBloodborne is the type of game that you'll either hate or love or love to hate and hate to love. When I first started to play this game I hated it. I hated it for making me start levels all over again after dying multiple times. I hated it for its random difficulty spikes and arrogant stun locks from both enemies and bosses. I've never played the Dark Souls games so I went into Bloodborne blind.
    But after the first few days I couldn't stop playing it as it drew me in. I had to see if I could follow it through to the end. So I did just that and finished the game and obtained all 3 endings. Afterwards I thought to myself what a hell of a journey. Great locations and atmosphere with a few exceptions. Music is spot on and graphics are still decent even by today's standards.
    Gameplay is fairly tight, but also with a few exceptions. If you play the game you'll see what I mean about a few exceptions. Anyways, Bloodborne would rank in my top 10 of all time favorite games even though I hated it at first. It grows on you and once you "click" with the game mechanics and how to fight it becomes very addictive. However it doesn't rank a perfect score of 10 because no game has ever reached a 10 by my standards because that means there's no room for improvement. Bloodborne is a 9 for me regardless because there are a few issues with the game. One of which is the hitbox on enemies and bosses. It gets wonky sometimes and doesn't register. Another issue is frame drops, especially when your fighting many enemies or huge bosses. These two issues may be linked together however.  I think the most useless game mechanic is the frenzy status. This alone almost made me quit the game permanently. It's a cheap system mechanic that serves no other purpose than to aggravate the player at the most inconvenient of times. If your health bar isn't full it becomes an instant kill. Speaking of instant kills, this game is full of them. Some bosses and even some enemies will kill you in one shot. Not my idea of fun, but whatever. I think Bloodborne is at least worth a try to first time gamers looking for a challenge. I know that the Dark Souls community appreciates Bloodborne for what it is. As for me I'm glad that I stuck with the game even if I did find it frustrating at first.  All in all it's a game worth trying out. You never know, you may find it as addictive as I did.

    is a pleasant alternative to Dark Souls. At least that's what I thought at first. After years I finally got this game to get an impression for myself. And my aversion was almost palpable.

    is a pleasant alternative to Dark Souls. At least that's what I thought at first. After years I finally got this game to get an impression for myself. And my aversion was almost palpable.

    Bloodborne is comparable to Dark Souls 1 and 2 in terms of the speed of gameplay and the variety of fighting methods. The only thing worth mentioning are the "trick weapons" that bring in individuality. Otherwise, Bloodborne, like the Souls series, has a very bad level design, let alone world building. The maps puked us after the first NG, luckily you can rush them in a few minutes.

    Positive points.
    - Different weapons
    - Several possibilities to create your character build
    - Enormously large space for healing potions
    - Warehouse
    - Helpful community in terms of dungeons and messages.

    Negatives.
    - Most of the bosses
    - Bad FPS on some bosses (especially Loran the Darkbeast)
    - You often have to farm HP potions in NG 0 until they become meaningless at some point.
    - Map design is bad and monotonous

    There is also our personal boss ranking, which was created after several NG ++ processes depending on the strength of the opponent.

    Literally a masterpiece. It takes time to get into and you absolutely must take time and understanding to learn the lore. You get what you give with this game. This applies to not only the story but also the game play. You have to take time to learn boss movies, just like you have to take time to read item descriptions.

    It has by far the best setting of all From Software-games, but also less variety. It feels shorter than the Souls-games. But it's not a sequel, so for what it is, it's great and perfect.

    Best FROM software title and that’s saying something. Nothing I can add that hasn’t been said before other than make sure you get the dlc as well - well worth it for the whirlygig alone.

    If you’re a fan of the “souls” genre, this is worth buying a PS4/PS5 for. Here’s hoping for a remaster as It’s almost criminal this was never patched for PS Pro.

    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.

    When I first played this game, I could not make it past the first boss even after 8 hours of trying. I returned after a year & after barely scraping a victory of the boss, I felt a burst of both relief & excitement. Weeks later I had completed the the game twice & earned my platnium. Bitter defeats make for sweeter victories & Bloodborne is no exception to this

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So after about 32 hours (I don't think PS shows it) and level 100, I finished the main game and DLC and it happened again. Fromsoftware made a terrific game. I had a lot of fun with the game, but also a few moments that made me feel a little "desperate". However, the game keeps pulling you under its spell and it's worth sticking to it!

    Atmosphere / graphics

    I really like the art style of the game. Bloodborne sometimes has extremely disgusting, disgusting pictures, but they are appropriate and contain a strange aesthetic, that's phenomenal in terms of setting and design, as well as the world building. Everything fits organically into the look of the game world and especially with many bosses there are real highlights of the look and the presentation (e.g. Vicar Amelia, placenta shrimp swingers from Kos, Ludwig, Amme etc.). The incredibly different creativity in the design of opponents is also astonishing. The developers were allowed to let off steam here, which I thought was great.

    It's just a really cool look. The music is chosen so great again (e.g. during the clock tower fight with Maria).

    In terms of performance, it was always a bit rough, which I thought was a bit of a shame, but it wasn't a big deal. On the other hand, at the beginning I even had a few glitches of despawning loot or loot that was floating out of reach in the air and the game even crashed once. Not a big deal either, but I never had it with Dark Souls.

    I found the Hain as a hub nice and felt right at home.

    story

    That the whole thing happens in this long night or in the hunter's dream, I find it cool, I like that very much. You really have the feeling that you have a task and that you have completed it step by step in order to escape it all. Otherwise it remains that it is told in a more cryptic way. Occasionally one finds such hints that lorries give out or items or even NPCS give you nibbles about the story over and over again.

    Unfortunately, I didn't manage to complete a single side quest in Bloodborne either, I just can't do it in the first round of the game. I can hardly criticize that because it would work, but it is somehow unsatisfactory not to get this NPC quest done.

    Gameplay

    You know it: the heart of the Soulsborn games and that is especially true of Bloodborne. The dynamics in combat gameplay are just amazing. I used R1 + L1 combo as an example so often and so gladly. This dynamic change between 1h and 2h was so much fun. Especially that you are invited to try out the different weapons to see the combo gameplay, terrific.

    The firearm and the integrated parry system have also turned out to be a sensible alternative to the shields in Dark Souls and, admittedly, this made parrying a bit too easy. I almost finished the final boss with my fists and parry, that says it all.

    Most of the boss fights in the main game were too easy for me. There was more appearance than reality. But the ways to bosses or just individual trash mobs were really crisp. The girl band brains are my absolute hate opponent in all soul titles to date, terrible. The DLC comes up trumps again, because here the bosses are of a completely different caliber and here too the DLC is introduced with exactly the right boss. This immediately shows the difficulty of the DLC and teaches you respect. That's how it has to be for me with soul titles.

    There were a few things I didn't like that much. On the one hand the beacons. I was a little annoyed that you always had to go back to the grove, because the loading screens could be a bit long at times. I would have liked more direct travel routes. On the other hand, I found it cool that you couldn't simply re-spawn your opponents and that you could repeat your life by sitting down for a moment, which made it a little more difficult.

    The blood vials were a kind of love-hate relationship, on the one hand they made the game more difficult than the Estus, because sometimes you had to deal with things tactically, on the other hand, the Estus somehow had more flair for me. Estus could be upgraded, etc. You were always really happy about it, you just noticed the vials and made sure you weren't wasting too many.

    The sidesteps weren't my thing either and unfortunately I didn't manage to switch properly between lock on (steps) and lock off (roles). I just like the role better. In the end I found this Lifesteal mechanic in and of itself really awesome, because you can be rewarded for aggressive gameplay, especially with trash mobs, and it also feels very good. In bossfights, however, I never really managed to get a satisfactory return from the risk I had taken. Maybe it's not really intended for boss fights, but I would have liked to have used this feature more aggressively there.

    The weapons and armor are really cool and fit well into the game (I had a saw ax +10). When it comes to armor, I finally wish for an upgrade depth.

    But all in all 10/10    … Expand

    Played this game right after Dark Souls 3, and I never thought it would be as good.
    Well, it's even better.
    The gothic and lovecraftian atmosphere in this game is the best love letter ever to this style in any form of art I've seen. From the monsters and bosses, to the dark, haunting streets of Yharnam, to the incredible architecture, it's wonderfully made. The combat is so much fun,    Played this game right after Dark Souls 3, and I never thought it would be as good.

    The combat is so much fun, sometimes very hard yes, but nothing beats the feeling of killing a boss after dying to it 30 times.

    This game is simple incredible to behold, the world is amazing, the story is dark and disturbing, the enemies are beautifully grotesque and difficult. You cant hate this game and the things it does differently from other games. This is simply a game you need to play, he’ll just buy a PS4 just to play this like I did.

However I due think that the choice to make this game hard was a bit bad because allthough it never was something that bothered me personally I can see how it makes people quit the game and I do think that the first boss should be a little bit less hard because it pains me that so many people will never fully experience this game because they heard it was hard and won´t buy it because of that or dropped it because it was, quote: bull**** .
    It isn´t though, it´s beautiful, the levels are awesomely designed and even the worst level still has many things I like and there are pretty much no bad Bosses as well. (Other than DS3, which I like too, but not as much). And before you say that I´m a biased From Software Fan boy, I´m not, I played this game because I loved the opening cut scene and because one of my friends told me to check it out. I don´t recommend this game to people who love a challenge, I recommend this game to anyone who wants to play a masterpiece.    … Expand
