    Bloodborne é simplesmente o Soulslike definitivo, a culminação de anos da formula que alçou a From Software pra outro patamar na indústria.

    Words simply can't describe this masterpiece. This game transcends the medium of videogames itself. Fromsoft's best work undoubtedly. Easily a top 3 game of all time for me.

    Okay.....so I pre-ordered this day one, and never heard of FromSoftware, or what their games were like. Having said that, I sucked at this game, and constantly dying in it kept me from playing it......for 8 years. I finally made time for it in April of 2023, and I had so much fun playing that I ended up getting the Platinum trophy, and all trophies in the DLC.

This game is highly addicting, all weapons look and feel amazing, AND they all have different primary and alt attacks. The parrying system is tough to get used to, but when it clicks.....MAN it clicks! Everything just feels so satisfying about this game when you finally sink time into it. Thanks to Bloodborne I am now a dedicated FromSoftware fan, and will never doubt their skills in making a solid experience from start to finish. Elden Ring......here I come! Best part about this game......is it's a PlayStation 4 Console Exclusive.....the best place to play Expand

    Coming from Elden Ring, I found Bloodborne to be very engaging. The steep initial curve of learning game rules that lead to understand the gamelplay leads to immersion. The world building and art direction is amazing, the bosses are fun to fight, the combat gamelplay is wonderful. I enjoyed my time greatly and came to the conclusion that every from software game is the best game.Coming from Elden Ring, I found Bloodborne to be very engaging.

    I can't expect more from a video game. Exploration is the most fun, from time to time a new difficulty makes you think about a new approach, a new discovery, a different path, until the end of the game, slowly uncovering the world's lore, tranversing it a intense minute-to-minute fight gameplay.

    The gameplay is frantic, aggressive, and, above all, enjoyable, with some fairly high difficulty spikes. If you're not accustomed to this kind of video game, it might be a bit challenging and lead to some frustration, but with a bit of practice and understanding of its mechanics, you can overcome it. When you do conquer these obstacles, it provides a satisfaction and sense of accomplishment that I haven't experienced in any other game.

    In summary, it's a masterpiece that anyone with a PS4 should at least give a try.

    It's a great game. The game has everything I wanted, it's a masterpiece. I really liked the dark world the story takes place in. Boss fights are like epic poetry. The costume designs and weapon designs are very beautiful and aesthetic. My only dream is that the game should be remastered immediately

    One of the greatest games of the last decade. A video game for a few, difficult and cryptic, with a gothic atmosphere and a unique artistic direction and level design.
    From software creates masterpieces.
    Because bloodborne, like its predecessors and successors, is in all respects a game from which you can't get away from it. You either love it or you hate it.

    the most exciting thing of bloodborne is his atmosphere, dark and mysterious, with his cryptic npc's, memorable for their design and their dialogue, that share a piece of lore most of the time, like Annalise queen of the vilebloods, Eileen the crow, and the list goes on.

    to be fair, this game have some flaws, such as the low fps, that sometimes go lower than 30, the difficulty when trying to connect with another player and the lack of weapon and armor (not really a complain here, cuz all the weapon have a unique gimmick, and all the armor are beautiful)

    P.S. if some of you try to use a chalice, and insert a specific code, there is this fun feature that allow you to fight cut content enemy.

    Bloodborne, one of the best souls likes ever to be made, and as expected is from Fromsoftwear. This game has a marvelous atmosphere, which has not been duplicated sense, with Lovecraft spilling out of every corner. The combat is also extremely thrilling, with the game, focusing on making the character faster, all of the combat becomes more fast-paced. This adds a layer of complexity, that allows people to get into and out of combat quickly, while maximizing damage output, as well as using the revenge sort of system, which brings back health for every time you hit an enemy. Bosses as usual, from Fromsoft are also spectacular, and are incredibly thrilling. Weapons are also incredibly varied, with the pistols offering up a fantastic function of perrying.

    Now when it comes to the negatives, there are a few. Having to farm blood vials is an extreme hindrance to the enjoyment of the game, with me having to multiple times go back and farm for around 15 to 20 minutes to make sure I have enough blood vials. The difficulty also might be a bit much for some people, which will definitely hamper peoples enjoyment of the game, however this is a souls game, and when you get it you should expect that.

    Overall, an incredible adventure, which stands out in the realm of souls like games.

    Yes, the game is challenging and has no easy mode. But the game allows less skilled players to farm and upgrade weapons and attributes, in a way that even a very casual player such as myself can enjoy very much the experience. It has become one of my favorite games of all times.

    Just like in the Dark Souls games, Bloodborne's lore is told via environmental storytelling. Environmental storytelling might not be as engaging as linear storytelling but it enriches the game's world significantly. Thankfully enough, Bloodborne's lore is compelling even if it's ambiguous for the most part.
    The gameplay surprised me a lot; it's faster than I expected, it feels very satisfying, the mechanics are wonderful, there's a nice amount of unique items and the trick weapons are so goddamn badass, they're one of the coolest things in the entire game for me.
    My favorite part of the game isn't the gameplay though, it's the haunting and frightening setting; Bloodborne's world is probably the best world I've seen in a videogame. It starts out as a gothic horror and it slowly transcends into a nightmarish cosmic horror that is able to find beauty in the dark. On top of that, the level design and the music are just perfect.
    The graphics are not necessarily impressive but they're really good nonetheless.
    Also, the bosses are intimidating, challenging and rewarding.
    However, many of the bosses in the main game are somewhat easy and underwhelming in my opinion, but fortunately, the DLC makes up for it; The Old Hunters is essential to own if you enjoy playing Bloodborne because it features the best bosses in the entire game.
    Now, while the gameplay is very enjoyable, the camera and the lock-on system are awkward at times, and farming for Blood Vials can be tedious at times.

    Pros:
    + Intriguing lore
    + Aggressive & diverse gameplay
    + Superb setting
    + Threatening & challenging bosses
    + Incredible level design and music
    + Amazing DLC

    Cons:
    - Flawed camera and lock-on system
    - Blood Vial system

    Gameplay: 9/10
    Content: 9/10
    Music: 10/10
    Graphics/Audio: 8/10

    Final Rating: 9.5/10
    - Outstanding -
    Bloodborne is a fascinating videogame experience in almost every way, and I wish could play it for even longer.

    Do I recommend it?:
    Definitely, but keep in mind, the DLC is must-own in my opinion.

    I played this game only for 1 hour and I couldn't keep playing it because of the difficulty level it provides.

    Honestly the difficulty level as a general parameter in a video game, is a real BALANCE that should be set very carefully by the developers. If the game happens to be very easy, it won't be fun enough to play. Also it'll be the same if the game is very hard, it won't be fun

    However that I believe in "taste of gaming" which is different for anyone.
    I have many good friends that actually LOVE this game and especially the difficulty of it.
    And I won't blame it one them that why you like it?! Because I believe in "personal taste of gaming".
    It's just not my style, I don't like games that are this hard...
    But it doesn't mean that no one else should love it too!

    The game is very great in terms of art, graphics, gameplay, mechanisms, level design, story...

    But I think that it's not balanced in terms of difficulty when you compare it to all other balanced games.

    And the fact is that "Souls" series fans like this kind of hardness! They're fan of this difficulty.

    So the game is even successful in finding buyers! Which is the final goal of every game and every product.

    I respect it, I respect those who love it, you won't have to regret if you love it.
    But it's not the taste of game that I can keep playing!

    It's not balanced in difficulty and its fans exactly like this unbalanced difficulty!
    But I don't like it and I won't waste my time playing a game that its difficulty should be balanced to match with other games...

    I played this after Elden Ring and can honestly say it's better. There is a laser focus on fight or flight, rewarding aggressive playstyle. It's lore is more appealing and less opaque. The only downside is age and that is no fault of the game itself, simply a symptom of the industry. Remastered and on PC with mods and its the greatest game ever made.

    I don’t really know how to rate bloodborne. After 40 hours of playng (more or less) i can say that is a good game, the lore is easly accesible if you try to identify with the places, the art design and the level design are some of the best that I ever seen, the bosses are really inspired.

Loading time is veeeeery damm long and it canbe frustrating if you try lots of time, even if it’s not a bossfight. I can rate this wonderfull game as a 7,8. But without the dlc “the old hunters” the game loses a lot. A 7 is ok. Expand

    The setting and style of this game is immaculate. It’s still a souls like game but for me it’s my favourite that include Elden ring as well I like how it was somewhat linear but still gives opportunity to explore. The music is also sensational and when you kill a boss with the orchestra blasting behind you it’s pretty phenomenal feeeling.

    My all-time favorite game, it is a near-perfect complete package. It's fast paced savage combat, its haunting and grim settings, its themes of unknowable cosmic forces, its serene and majestic soundtrack, its intricate level design... the game has it all. It ranks among the best of fromsoft's catalogue for a reason, and literally changed my life.

    Has almost all the Pros of darksouls and the unique things about it are for the most part great
    Sadly there aren't a lot of weapons and being able to run out of healing items instead of just getting them back after dying kinda sucked
    I just can't give it the same Rating as its siblings because of these short comings But this game is really close to a 10

    Bloodborne es el mejor souls-like que he jugado y uno de los mejores juegos de toda la historia. Con la dificultad característica de este tipo de juegos, he tardado 25 horas (contando el DLC) en pasármelo, una duración perfecta para mi gusto.

Con la dificultad característica de este tipo de juegos, he tardado 25 horas (contando el DLC) en pasármelo, una duración perfecta para mi gusto. Lo he jugado con doblaje en inglés, que es sobresaliente, ya que en español me sacaba un poco de la inmersión. From Software consiguió con este RPG de acción acelerar el ritmo de juego al eliminar los escudos característicos de la saga y haciendo un combate mucho más frenético, satisfactorio y divertido de jugar. El diseño de niveles también es de los mejores que he visto en un videojuego. A la perfecta jugabilidad se le añaden unos enemigos variados y con vistosos y extravagantes animaciones y diseños. Estos diseños acompañan al excelso arte del que hace gala el juego, siendo tan grotesco y oscuro que consigue ser precioso. Además, la ambientación victoriana y la mitología de Lovecraft de la que se inspira el juego evocan en el jugador un aura que no había sentido nunca jugando un videojuego. El lore no se queda atrás, siendo para mi por lejos el mejor de la saga (aunque igual de difícil de comprender sin mirar vídeos) y con una construcción compleja, muy interesante y repleta de secretos fascinantes. Debo mencionar también los brillantes efectos de sonido y sobre todo la maravillosa banda sonora que posee, consiguiendo a veces sobreponerse a los propios enfrentamientos contra jefes. Hay que destacar el contenido de la expansión, para mi al mismo nivel que el propio juego o en ocasiones incluso superior. Como sutiles pegas puedo mencionar algún tirón de fps en zonas demandantes y los pocos incentivos que hay para jugar el contenido opcional de las mazmorras del cáliz. En conclusión, Bloodborne es una auténtica obra de arte y se ha convertido en uno de mis juegos favoritos. Lo recomiendo a todo el mundo. 9,9/10

    The other thing is the level design is really pretty and beautiful but you will get tired of it being the same colour and all being in a gothic Cathedral area. I must say that I really long for some Green Wood.

    The bosses and enemies at just the right amount of challenge. I will say the relly mechanic is probably the best mechanic in this game and what make it so fun to play

    The game takes around 6 to 10 hours and is one of the most fun games you have on the PS4 if you have a PS4 play it.

    Completed Bloodborne twice (NG and NG+) with 2 different endings. This game is very daunting and amazing at the same time. After Sekiro this is my 2nd FROMSOFTWARE game and I love them. Patience and attack patterns are the keys to crack the game. Definitely a masterpiece and one of the best games of all time.

    Just for heads up, I finished all Dark Souls and Elden Ring.

    That said, I want to talk about Bloodborne. Over the years the Souls franchise has grown on me with each of its main games having a different gameplay objective. In Dark Souls 1 you have the constant feeling of finally overcoming yourself playing a difficult game, exploring a scary world (after all, at any moment you can die and lose everything, scary in that sense). The exploration is immense, insane, farming in this game is just SOMETHING.

    In Dark Souls 2, you take everything I've said, and put a melancholy setting à la Berserk, with incredible mechanics, weapons, builds, spells and everything else varied than in Dark Souls 1, there are indeed disadvantages such as movement, but that adjusts as you play.

    In Dark Souls 3 they managed to reach the absolute level of all three games, perfection from start to finish, Hidetaka Miyazaki's magnum opus. Dark Souls 3 refuses to die, it has cutscenes, enemies, BOSSES, and an importance to the world of games that I can't imagine anything even like it; perhaps in terms of importance we can mention the Halo franchise.

    In Elden Ring they managed to go above and beyond, everything from the voice acting to the open world, the first and the last boss, Elden Ring went beyond everyone's expectations, a singleplayer game whose fame is the envy of Western developers, who in their arrogance and idiocy cannot understand the magnitude of this masterpiece, a replay factor maybe as big as Dark Souls 1, I could spend hours talking about this game.

    So, we go back to 2014 with Bloodborne, a game built on top of some bad choices that keep it stuck at 30 frames until today. Its style and setting, along with its sad story and depressing endings, have made Bloodborne the game for many. The question here is: Where exactly does it fit into Miyazaki's games? The answer is: Nowhere. Bloodborne is unique, it's visceral, yet... What I see in Bloodborne is that its bosses don't have much emotional appeal (you remember Artorias, right?). Its health item farming system is a bit degraded for those coming from other Miyazaki games, in addition to being extremely easy to break the game's difficulty (I didn't do that, but everyone knows c*mmmfpk-style dungeons).
    Its parry system is insane but confusing, you don't know which enemies you can parry, but you know you can, which ends up causing most people to just fire a thousand times until the timing is right.

    Bloodblorne's lore is as impeccable as ever, following a sad but engaging plot, although to know it you'll probably have to watch videos and thus better understand what you're doing in the next gameplay only. Gehrman is a great final boss, yet things like his theme music and steep setting make his level drop in comparison (Nashandra, Soul of Cinder, Radagon...)

    In summary, I believe that Bloodborne is a solid 7, with its highs above its lows, but always a solid 7 that would certainly have been more successful if ported to other platforms like PC and Xbox (On Xbox it could be running at 60 Frames, as it happened with Dark Souls 3).

    Bloodborne is a great game overall but I think it's the weakest in the soulsborne series.
    First of all, the lore of the game is very deep and the story is very interesting . Also, if you like the Lovecraft-dark fantasy-Victorian era theme then you will appreciate the game even more. The environment in very good designed for the theme. Also the combat is good as well and indeed faster

The environment in very good designed for the theme. Also the combat is good as well and indeed faster paced, although I don't think it's better than the other games, but on the same level. The problems I found in this game for my taste though are:
    1) Worst of all. Bosses/enemy designs and moveset. I found most bosses really not interesting and thrilling and their moveset really weird and random. Micolash and Rom are some examples. Sometimes they do oneshots even though most of the times you don't get much damage from them and you can recover. The dlc bosses are very good though. 2) Very linear gameplay. You cant explore many areas at the same time or have the choice to do so at least.
    3) Same visuals all over the game. The world design may be great but you pretty much won't see anything else than towns with castles, a forest and a swamp area. However to even out that you can see that each area has some great interconnected shortcuts and roads which promote the exploring of the world, and I love that.
    4)No weapon variety. This game has some very interesting weapons to try out but you will mostly use the Hunter's Axe until you get Ludwing's Holy Blade. Which leads me to my next problem.
    5) Only one viable build for your first playthrough. The first time you are locked with Strenght build basically. The only weapon that works for a first playthrough is the Hunter's Axe. The others are very average. However, the good weapons for Skill(Dex) /Bloodtinge/Arcane(Magic) builds are all found in late game so you can get better builds only on NG+..
    (Another problem which applies for today's players is that there no PS5 patch or upgrade, and no way to play this other than PS.) Those aren't important problems for what the game is - I repeat that the game is very well designed and great overall - but they are problems compared to the other games in the series by my opinion.

    To get into souls-type games I think it's the best
