    ps4平台最好玩的游戏之一，充满挑战性的战斗，有趣的变形武器，神秘的世界观。与此同时，部分场景的优化问题也相当严重，尤其是教学楼等怪物堆积特效繁多的场景情况尤为糟糕。总而言之，尽管有着一些缺点，这仍是我在ps4平台最喜欢的游戏。

    Melhor obra disparada da From Software e Hidetaka Miazaky, pra mim melhor exclusivo do ps4 e um dos melhores da história. História, ambientação, level design dos mapas, inimigos/bosses, roupas, menus,tempo de jogo música e sons são perfeitos. Merece muito uma nota máxima

    I am still dreaming fellow hoonters. Can we get a follow up to this game worthy of calling itself a sequel to one of the best games ever made? Give it to me Sony. I’m looking at you, PS5.

    Es mi primer Souls y lo amo, su mecánica un poco más frenética, su ambientación, historia, jugabilidad y doblaje al latino hacen la mezcla perfecta para un titulo que nos llenó de emociones y esa ambientación lovecraftniana, la verdad una joya.

    AMAZING.INCREDIBLE. FLAWLESS. MIND BREAKING. These are the words which describe the way I feel about Bloodborne. Arguably better than Dark Souls 3 and 1 (2 was never an option), Bloodborne is faster paced in terms of combat compared to the DS Series and even Demon Souls. I LOVED that change. PLAY THIS GAME NOW!!

    I finally got around to play Bloodborne this year, and I'm glad to to say that it is just as good as I imagined it to be. It is basically on the same level as the other Dark Souls games, which I really enjoy, and even surpasses them in some aspects.

    The aesthetic is what mainly defines Bloodborne as its own separate thing within the Souls series. You don't get to see such beautiful,    I finally got around to play Bloodborne this year, and I'm glad to to say that it is just as good as I imagined it to be. It is basically on the same level as the other Dark Souls games, which I really enjoy, and even surpasses them in some aspects.

    The aesthetic is what mainly defines Bloodborne as its own separate thing within the Souls series. You don't get to see such beautiful, detailed and immersive victorian-fantasy worlds like Yharnam every day. Add From Software's expertly crafted passive storytelling and a bit of lovecraftian inspiration, and you have yourself a game universe that is just a delight to get soaked in. It is impressive how Bloodborne, being a single game, has a lore that is just as compelling as the entire Dark Souls series as a whole.

    In the gameplay department, Bloodborne is a faster paced version of Dark Souls, with less emphasis on defending and more on being aggresive. Parrying was made easier than ever thanks to the inclusion of guns, and this is one the things I love the most about Bloodborne. It's going to be hard to go back to the other Souls games and not be able to parry anything. However, this doesn't make the game any easier. Bloodborne is just as difficult as any other Souls game. Another great thing about the combat is being able to regain health if you hit an enemy inmediately after taking damage, which creates this very clever risk-reward dynamic at all times.

    There are other slight changes to the Dark Souls formula that Bloodborne introduces, but none of them is big enough to be worth mentioning here. You're better off discovering those for yourself. The level design is a considerable step-up from Dark Souls 2, not only regarding gameplay, but the aesthetics too. Also, Bloodborne has some of the greatest bosses I've ever encountered in any video game.

    Another addition in Bloodborne are dungeons. Some are fixed, and some are randomly generated. Obviously, these are not on the same level of quality as the main levels, but they do offer a good bunch of extra hours, new bosses, and a good excuse to play co-op with a friend. I don't know why people bash the dungeons so much. I actually enjoyed them, even when playing alone. Speaking of online play, Bloodborne's matchmaking can be abismal at times. Also, I found PVP to be very disappointing, mainly due to the fact that it only takes a few seconds to kill/die, and a lot of time to connect again.

    The amount of art and creativity that went into every aspect of Bloodborne's design is both admirable and delightful. Bloodborne won't win any awards on the technical aspect, but the levels still look fantastic, they have a lot of detail everywhere. I was initially worried that all of the game's areas would look too similar given the victorian setting, but foruntately this isn't a problem. The soundtrack is also good, probably my favorite in the Souls series, along with Dark Souls 3.

    In the end, Bloodborne is a game I would absolutely recommend to any person who enjoys action video games, and it now sits next to Dark Souls 3 as my favorite title in the Souls series. It is a shame that it is only available on Playstation 4.

    Score: 9.5

    It's just as good as everyone says. 2 problems:
    -Frame Rate(Rarely drops but when it does, it drops HARD)
    -NG+ feels REALLY cheap. Enemies have more health and do more damage, that's it.
    Other than this, it's what we gamers like to call: GOOD.

I found myself looking up definitions to words I thought I already knew so that I could expand my understanding of lore descriptions.
    When it comes to story telling, Miyazaki and Fromsoftware have literally created a new genre of gaming. It is everything that gaming could and should be. And make no mistake, it is pure art.
    I won't go into the mechanics of combat and general gameplay. To me, it is absolutely flawless; crafted and finely honed to perfection. The only negative critique I have about the game is the HUD that can't be turned to "automatic" which was an option that was given in Dark Souls 3. It allows you to absorb the beauty of the environments and then as soon as you get into combat, the display pops up with your health bar.
    I deliberately have played this game slowly because I just don't want it to end. It is the best game of all time, of this I am certain. Miyazaki is the secret sauce. Dark Souls 2 felt like an empty shell without him.    … Expand

    What should be said about this game for the first place is the fact that it's not offering completely new gameplay - it's not so much different from the Dark Souls series. To put it simple, instead of a shield you have a gun that is used to stun enemies. The game is a little bit faster than Dark Souls, too.

    The best Front Software game. it has it all, the mechanics have been refined to the max and the lovercraft roll setting mixed with Victorian era most likely make it the best PS4 game.

    This game is utter brilliance to me. Everything from the combat system to the linear progression, narrative method, lore and art style just comes together to something amazing. The only thing that slows this game down is the frame rate on the ps4. Everything else is godlike.

    Lovecraft Souls. And every bit as perfect as that sounds. A more streamlined combat experience than dark souls but is so in order to focus on aggression. Atmosphere by the bucketload and terror galore. Truly horrorshow.

No redneck hunting game has ever gotten this close to truly visceral horror and the grubbiness of the kill. With the patented Dark Souls origami-esque level design always throwing new darkness onto the game world you thought you knew this is an ever-evolving tide into which the player is cast, Worth buying a ps4 just to play?

    Flawless Arpg . A 10 doesn’t do it justice. 5 years later and still no other game can even come close . The detail in each level is mind blowing. The boss fights are unforgettable. The chalice dungeons are genius.

    My favourite of the Souls of FromSoftware. Although the story may seem vague, you can piece together something for yourself.

Although the story may seem vague, you can piece together something for yourself. The difficulty is really high, even for someone who already played Souls games. The combat is just great. One of the best combat systems in my opinion, outclassed only by Sekiro's. The game is a mixture of classic horror elements, it excellently blends many genres like gothic horror and mostly lovecraftian cosmic horror. It is also a very... "bloody" game. 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

    If you loved Dark Souls 3 you need to play this game. While there are fewer variety of weapons and armor, and the world itself is not as diverse or awe inspiring as DS3, the improved combat makes up for these shortcomings. A masterpiece in it's own right that you'll be playing for years to come.

The fact that this has such a good rating is a joke.
    The graphics are meh, the story is meh. The gameplay is bottom of the barrel awful.
    Starting with the game camera that makes it pretty much impossible to see anything in a lot of situations, especially against larger Bosses where your camera will get stuck and you won't have any idea what's happening. Boss fights also frequently rely on oneshotting the player since coming up with an interesting Boss fight would have been too much effort.
    In general combat is another pretty big meh. You dodge, attack, dodge, attack. All of it in what's supposed to be a slow and deliberate way of fighting. Although I'm not entirely sure that was the plan since Boss fights don't entirely fit into this style. The challenge of the boss fights also feels less like the Bosses are difficult, rather that you're fighting against unresponsive controls, clunky Models and a camera that's hell bent on confusing you.
    The lack of checkpoints means that when you lose a boss fight (the only times losing is possible) you have to fight your way through pointless minions over and over again. This isn't a challenge, the enemies are easy to beat. It's pointlessly wasting the players time in the name of some challenge i've yet to figure out. There's no resources to waste or health to lose. Just your time.
    FromSoftware as a Developer has done something fascinating, they found a way to market awful game design. Using the community to silence any criticism by pretending it's all about the difficulty, the "git gud" attitude. And this games score shows that it works, this is why we can't have nice things.    … Expand

I still believe it is the most visually impressive of all the souls game with phenomenal art and consistent quality across the board. Almost all the bosses are a visual treat and the areas are all stunning to look at. The armor sets and weapons are also consistent in quality. However, the threat of running out of blood vials made it hard to enjoy and appreciate the bosses. I would die constantly to Dark Souls bosses but still enjoy myself because I know that with time and patience, I would eventually defeat the boss. Knowing I may have to go grind for more vials removes a degree of this enjoyment and I find myself trying to beat the bosses as fast as possible. Additionally, the aesthetic and tone of the areas get a bit samey.

    Also, being locked on the PS4 cages the performance and load times of the game.

    The one, aggressive play style unlike Souls also runs counter to how I personally enjoy souls games where I like to be methodical and take my time.

    My frustration with this title predominantly stems from the fact that I think this is the best produced souls game, but unfortunately a few elements make this far more frustrating than the dark souls games.    … Expand
