    The best game i ever played, Its a peace of art. Nunca joguei um jogo que me prendeu tanto. O ambiente, a satisfação de passar de presa a predador. Incrível.

    Best From game to date, amazing fast, visceral gameplay, intriguing Lovecraftian story, awe-inspiring bosses with amazing accompanying OSTs, jaw dropping visual presentation and trick weapons that although scarce are unique and fun to use.

    The only thing that keeps this game from achieving perfection in my eyes are the Chalice Dungeons.

    The only thing that keeps this game from achieving perfection in my eyes are the Chalice Dungeons.
    Chalice Dungeons, in case you don't know, are procedurally generated dungeons, that despite being considered extra content, give some amazing rewards, I'll say that they are basically required if you want to PVP at meta level with some specific builds.

    As you can imagine, most of the time they don't feel coherent and lack that neat level design that's present in the main game, but that's expected considering the nature of randomly generated content.

    I did also found them very poorly balanced, it always feels that you're either way too overleveld or underleveld, In theory a good Idea, but executed very poorly.    … Expand

    would be a 10 and that's what it was when i originally played this game however these days it is brought down by 30fps. once a patch brings it to 60 it'll be a masterpiece again

    9.5 really. What a great game, this and Dying Light (1) my top 2 ever. Such fun melee combat. Beautiful dark gothic atmosphere. Hoping for PS5 remaster and Bloodborne 2, please pretty please From Software!!

    A must play for everyone that has a ps4, and everyone that likes souls-like games, its rich in story, builds and content to do, you only motive to not playing its because of difficulty which its understandable but very manageable

    If this game wasn't so short, it'd probably be my favorite game of all time. Pretty much everything great about it has already been said, I've become obsessed with its aesthetic. Bloodborne is genius, and I'm shocked we haven't seen more from this franchise. I hope Sony does something with the franchise, give us a TV Series, a remake, or a Sequel

    Bloodborne is an amazing game that has beautiful, creepy atmosphere and design of the world is truly fascinating. Also the bosses do so.

Combat is a bit more aggressive than other souls games but the transformation mechanic is kinda unique and very useful in itself. Also bloodborne doesn't have a shield mechanic, instead it has a pistol that you can shot just before enemies hit you, so you can knock them out. There's no need talking more about it, If u have PS4/5 just go get it and play as soon as you can. It's definitely worth ur money and time.… Expand

El combate fue modificado a uno más dinámico y ágil, eliminando los escudos para darnos armas con truco que complementan el gameplay, como también podremos transformarlas para hacerlas más contundentes y mejorar su efectividad contra diversos enemigos. Todavía se conservan la posibilidad de hacer diferentes builds dependiendo de nuestras preferencias aunque lamentablemente hay muy poca variedad de todo en general. Para personas que no se busquen complicar la vida a la hora de decidir esto puede ser bueno, también ahora podremos recuperar una parte de nuestra barra de salud intercambiando golpes con el enemigo, haciendo el combate más frenético de lo que es, la ambientación es muy inmersiva, haciendo sentir una sensación de terror y ansiedad, con el diseño tan espeluznante de sus ubicaciones. A veces estas nos pueden transmitir muchas cosas si prestamos atención, sinceramente bloodborne tiene la mejor ambientación que yo he visto en un videojuego. Y posee un apartado artístico realmente increíble. Hablando sobre su online ahora funciona con campanas que personalmente no me terminan de convencer. También agregaron los calices que funcionan como mazmorras infinitas las cuales pueden alargar la vida del juego al infinito. Pero lamentablemente estas son muy repetitivas y a veces tediosas, y fuera de la posibilidad de farmear no tienen más utilidad. Esto último es algo completamente prescindible que no es necesario a menos que tengas algo de curiosidad. No cabe duda alguna que bloodborne es el mejor exclusivo de la ps4, y un juegazo sin duda alguna, si tienes una ps4 este juego es imprescindible.… Expand

    My favorite game of all time. I started playing when I was 12, and enjoyed the game so much I had gotten the platinum trophy in 3 weeks. It changed my view of games forever. To this day, I still enjoy every playthrough. Even though there’s only around 28 weapons (with DLC), each have a different “trick” form that makes the weapon more enjoyable.

    bloodburn is a good game, one that is almost perfect for gamers like me, the difficulty and the complex story are quite entertaining, I am not saying that it is a game for everyone, I understand that some people do not like it, but it is not a good argument to say that a game is bad for its difficulty definitely my favorite souls

    Bloodborne is probably the best game I've played. Fabulous, mysterious universe that offers an incredible atmosphere. An artistic direction that, for me, surpasses that of all Dark Souls. But above all, absolutely perfect gameplay.

    I really like the level design, art style and weapon veriety but I'd say a lot of the boss's in the base game at least as i haven't played the DLC are underwhelming for example: rom the spider , the one reborn, celestian emissary, mikolash and mergos wet nurse

    I played this game 3 times because it has so many secrets, incredibly fun, yet challenging, combat that is paired with lots of amazing boss fights, the music is great as well, but my favourite aspect of the game is probably the gothic aesthetic and architecture that covers almost all parts of the areas you discover - 10/10.

    - farming healing items sucks
    - the chalice dungeons are some of the most uninspired content Fromsoft has ever released

    Bloodborne is a beautiful game that will sink its teeth in you and does not let go until you are spent or triumphant. Creepy visuals allow the game to elevate its Victorian art style to the maximum and the eventual Lovecraftian influence lends itself fantastically to this era.

    Gone are shields and instead you are told to be as aggressive as possible as any lost health can be regained through the Rally mechanic. Aka, when hit, your health turns yellow, and if you hit them back you recover that health. This pushes maximum levels of aggression from the bosses and forces the player to either match them or drown.

    The Old Hunters dlc is just a cream of the crop when it comes to additional content, as some of the greatest fights ever made reside in this DLC.

    Bloodborne is a fantastic gaming experience that should be lauded for its unapologetic brutality yet fair amounts of tools provided to deal with this brutality.    … Expand
