    A great experience all around. A world filled with mistery, enemies to defeat, and places to explore. While i would rate the bosses in the main game slightly lower than those in Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne is a special experience. It feels like the game has a soul.. a personality, and you can fall in love with it.

    Definitelly one of the best of what playstation has to offer. The only reason i dont give it a perfect 10, is because it could've been more polished, it has some technical problems, like framerate and bad camera placement when fighting very large bosses, and it lacks support for ps4 pro, which is a shame because playing this game in 60fps would've been awesome, though being honest, i was so immersed in the game i totally forgot about fps and resolution and i could forgive the game for all of It's short comings in the end.

    Highly recomend it if you like adventure games in which you play your own story.    … Expand

    Although Bloodborne has both the strongest start of any of the soulsborne games and the strongest combat system, the game gets progressively worse as it goes on, with the bosses being too easy or having annoying mechanics and enemy's seemingly placed with no rime or reason. Still a fantastic game regardless. just not my favorite soulsborne.

    The most atmospheric Game ever. A great combination of exploration, stealth and first person combat. Very detailed environments and immersive levels.

    the best game by fromsoftware, amazing atmosphere the boss fights are cool and weapons are unique and well designed, the music is great and the lore is very interesting, recommended game for people who like lovecraftian horror with fast paced combat.

    Its a **** masterpiece, bossfights are amazing, theres a lot of them and every single one is deep and thought out, okay maybe one or two are a bit retarded but it serves the plot. Masterful storytelling through items and little cutscenes. The game looks amazing, gothic inspired cathedrals are fantastic, lovecraftian beast are a genius idea.

    Maybe this game just didn't age well. The controls are truly terrible. The progression is pointlessly erratic. I tried to play for a while but lost interest quickly. An exercise in frustration. It looks cool though.

    10/10. My favorite game I've ever played. It's the best of the Soulsborne series. The aggressive gameplay suits me better than the slower gameplay of Dark Souls or Dark Souls II.

    now THIS, this is the game
    Perfect from music and familiar from souls mobs to atmosphere of the endless hunt. Even failures on bosses couldn’t kill a willing to move on.
    I just couldn’t stop, it took me as games did when I was a child.

    If someone ran up to me in the streets and asked if I wanted a Dark Souls game, with the combat speed cranked up to 11, the RPG mechanics refined to simplicity perfection, and have the settings & narrative be based on the really good parts of H.P. Lovecraft?

    I'd tell them that Bloodborne already exists, also why are you talking to me?

    Great video game. One of the best ones ever made. The review contains basic information about the story which shouldn't be considered spoiler. If you are too sensitive about it, If you want to jump in completely blind, don't read it.

    The game is not hard but challenging. Except some rare occasions, game has solid rules and after understanding them you just overcome it. This is my first    Great video game. One of the best ones ever made. The review contains basic information about the story which shouldn't be considered spoiler. If you are too sensitive about it, If you want to jump in completely blind, don't read it.

    The game is not hard but challenging. Except some rare occasions, game has solid rules and after understanding them you just overcome it. This is my first souls game. I loved it so much, I just bought a physical copy even if I had it for free with psn plus.

    A lot of people complain about the repetitive enemies. I kinda agree with them but game has just enough challenge. Having more enemies with new attack patterns might be hard and suck the enjoyment out from the game for the first play through. Thinking about it, since i know the game very well it might be fun to have extra challenge but as i said, first play through is important. I don't know if I want to complain about it.

    Most of the people complain about story. There is a story and it is seriously good. I just cannot stop reading new theories. The style of the story telling is kinda odd especially if it is your first souls game but it adds a lot of mystery to the game which makes it more lovecraftian than it is. More than %99 of the games just tell the story anyway. Lets have something different. Lets think about wtf happened there after each area and explore and think about every part of the map. After doing this, there are more than enough elements to understand the story structure. Let me give you a little example here: After you are done in Central Yarnham what do you know about the game?

    -You are sick and came here to find a cure.
    -There are mostly humanoids at the streets.
    -There is a crucified werewolf, burning.
    -There is Father Gascoigne.
    -There is Cleric Beast.

    What do they tell you? The humanoids hunted the werewolf which is considered sick. Humanoids hunted them when they were humans, not when they are like this because 2 werewolves on the bridge don't attack the one humanoid on the stairs leads to the bridge. Therefore, we can assume something happened to them while the hunt is happening. Father Gascoigne is not a town folk but a legitimate, half-sane hunter (you can tell by the weapons) and you can see the transformation in front of you.

    What you learned here? There is a disease / curse. You are fighting with it. Wtf is Cleric Beast then? It is another story to investigate at the next area.

    I don't even talked about the NPCs at the area. Considering them, the story is more clear.

    I had experienced this kind of story telling for the first time and I loved it. It was kinda challenging itself and I loved it. If there was a guy telling me everything I solved myself, it would be just another story. Well; if you think about it, it is just a intergalactic vampire story but it narrated very well.

    What else... Yeah, graphics... I don't know what to tell. There are very rare areas when I felt something is wrong like stairs inside the cathedral leading to Vicar Amelia has some space shows the skybox. Other than those stuff, it was the best looking game I have ever played. Not because it was ultra realistic but because of the style. Even games like Death Stranding will look old someday but games with style like Bloodborne will always be its own thing.

    I haven't write these to mock anyone. My only purpose to encourage people to give it a shot. If you don't like the game, so be it but never think it is not fair and you cannot do it. You can....

    The game is not a 10 for me. No game is and probably no game will ever be. But it is more than 9.5 so wouldn't be fair to give a 9.    … Expand

    I first bought this game in 2016 and quickly bounced off it due to being unable to overcome the second boss.

However despite this setback I still felt strongly that Bloodborne was an excellent game because of its incredible art design, level design, and fantastic combat and hoped that one day I could experience the full game. In 2019 I finally came back to the game & completed two playthroughs in quick succession and my gut feeling back in 2016 was correct, Bloodborne is one of the greatest games of the last decade. The combat is pretty close to perfection with precise controls balanced against phenomenal enemy & boss design to create a game that gets the adrenaline pumping like nothing else outside of FromSoftware's other titles. The art design is absolutely incredible nailing the look & feel of both Bram Stoker & HP Lovecraft while synthesizing their works into the perfect nightmare. The music & sound design is also fantastic providing a perfect complement to the visuals & creating a wonderful sense of atmosphere & place. Finally the game design (level, mechanics etc.) is some of the best I have ever seen as the fear of losing blood echoes perfectly pushes against the excitement of unlocking a shortcut, new level, or a new lamp making even the most minor moments feel important.

    Overall this game would be a easy 10/10 as it captivated me like few games have & made me a permanent fan of FromSoftWare.    … Expand

    There's duplicate enemies all over the place, even within the same battles which makes it feel like you're playing playstation 1. Its repetitive. Looks absolutely horrendous on my LG C9 OLED. The menu's are so old school and boring like sekiro.
    I wish I could have liked this game because i'm into death, darkness and fantasy.. But no.

    I have only played Bloodborne in 2019, after Dark Souls and Sekiro but it became definitely one of my favorite Miyazaki games.

    If you can look over the 30 FPS lock that is very noticeable, especially coming from PC and very distracting at first, you will find a fantastic, albeit punishing game with deep lore (that you have to research yourself by reading item descriptions).
