    A game like no other. I have heard about the souls games for many years, and how difficult they are, so I stayed away.

I do not like many modern games, and I know that. But Bloodborne is among the best games ever created for me. Every single aspect is so well made and touching, that you will fall in love with it after only a few hours. Yes, the game can be extremely challenging, especially at the beginning, but it's worth it. The voice acting is superb, physics and game-play machanics are fantastic or even revolutionary, and the soundtrack is eerily fascinating! To top all that off, we get a story like no other. If you're up for a challenge, are interested in horror/Lovecraft, or just want to experience a wonder of a game, then go for Bloodborne! Good hunting!… Expand

    But with each failure, comes the experience: eventually you shall slaugther whichever prey you rise your blade against. Bloodborne is branded with the now worldwide famous "Souls Hard" kind of gameplay, but this time the combat is fast paced and the game pushes the player to be agresive instead of hiding behind a shield. Make no fear, for the inclussion of fire arms did not turn the game into a 3rd person shooter, as some feared, for the uses of fire arms are well accounted and cannot be spammed, and given their damage output they're more fit for counteratacks than direct weapons.

    Level design is exquisite, and so the bosses and characters. Adrenaline will rise during the 50-60 hours gameplay, and the Soundtrack during boss fights will add to the pressure and epicness. Visually, the game looks stunning, with an artstyle that remembers victorian era London, medieval architecture, Lovecraftian mythos and horror themed enviroments. Bloodborne is an unique experience, and a complete one at it, with huge amount of content and secrets to keep you hooked even after the credits roll. And now, there's a DLC out there, wich further expands an already deep game. Give Bloodborne a try, and please do not dispair, for not many people think it's a walk in the park. It takes time, and patience, but with each passing hour, you truly become a better player at it.    … Expand

    Overall, this is a great game which has solid game play. Plenty of variety when you switch up weapons. Plenty of different enemies to test your mettle, and bosses feel like bosses. On the surface, there werent as many 'classes' to choose from in comparison to other soul games, but once you get into the game you can focus on arcane to add a bit of magic.

    Visually, the game looks great. Locations are varied enough. Game design gets full marks, exploring locations is rewarding, and pvp is good fun. I like that they added customized dungeons to the game. The main questline of the game is a bit short, but still a decent effort and a must own.    … Expand

    Bloodborne is a nightmare that never ends.

    It's very different from Dark Souls, the spiritual predecessor. In Dark Souls there's a large focus on loot and character builds.

    It plays like Dark Souls, basically the same formula, except it's almost more pure. What I mean by that is that the game focuses on the basics of hack n slash combat and making that have more depth. While Dark Souls 2 in particular had a ton of content and weapons and spells, weapons follow an archetype moveset and there aren't that many truly 'unique' weapons. Bloodborne is the opposite. It is a fairly short game with some of the content that is easily overlooked if you are casually playing through. In Bloodborne there are no weapons that aren't unique. There are some that are similar, but every weapon you can use has its own unique moveset that has more complexity than Dark Souls ever had.

    Bloodborne has way less magic than Dark Souls and it does not work the same, the game wants you to make a build centered around a weapon and a firearm/secondary weapon. Magic is a supplementary after thought to make things more interesting, not the focus of a characters build. In a certain sense Bloodborne feels more limited in almost every way than it's predecessor at a glance, but there is a truly impressive depth to the weapons in the game which shifts the focus away from loot, and more on your skill with the weapons.

    While it is difficult at first, it becomes much less unforgiving when you begin to understand the nature of the game and how everything works.

    Bloodborne is a journey into madness, a dark beastly nightmare, a test of patience and skill.

    First game I've played of this genre. The beginning is so hard for newcomers, if you like challenges in games unlike most button mashing console games today, then buy this. And keep a spare window handy cuz your controller might get thrown out it after the werewolves on the bridge. 9/10, good game, don't expect a story, this game is about challenge, coop with friends, and bragging rights.

    It's like Dark Souls, but set in Die andere Seite by Alfred Kubin, the parry mechanics make no logical sense even from a game design standpoint, there's practically no blocking anymore, and the entire thing takes place in some mixture of the Undead Burg and Anor Londo.

Everyone is talking about blood, which is to say souls, insight, which is to say humanity, and beasts, which is to say hollows, all the time. This is the unspoken fourth game in the Souls series, and it would be an exaggeration to say that the series has ever learned any lessons from its past.

    The combat is more or less identical to Souls games of the past, with a few caveats. Turtling is no longer an option so everyone is rolling everywhere all the time, especially since there is an expendable (i.e. less renewable than stamina) resource used to parry. The armor is all essentially worthless and doesn't contribute significantly to poise or resists, much like in Dark Souls 2. There is dual wielding, but your offhand weapon actually has less functionality than a shield, so this is a step backward resulting in "timing battles" of either roll-slashing or standing slightly out of every single character's swing radius, moving forward 1 millimeter, and then attacking, rinse wash repeat, or else actually using the parry system which revolves around trial-and-error exploration of every attack animation in the game, because it is only at a certain point that a bullet to the face will actually stun someone, and that point is when they are 1 inch from hitting you. "Just like real life."

    Other than this the combat is straight out of last decade, playing something like God of War but where you can only take a hit or two before being presented with a 45 second load screen and then retreading your steps like every Souls game.

    The setting is lauded by fans as being deep and unique but in fact is just Dark Souls in an, "oops we dabbled with magic now ancient gods are dreaming a hell world for us" setting, not unlike various other popular titles like Dragon Age or Grim Dawn, both of which had releases numerous years before this game even began development. The fans will call the setting "Lovecraftian" as a buzz word, even though the concept of elder and forgotten gods feeding off of human existence predates Lovecraft (for example People of the Pit, published 1918), and they probably haven't read any Lovecraft to begin with. I guess it's supposed to be a favorable change to the more traditional sword-and-sorcery appearance of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, but this is at least the 10th game I've played chronologically that is set in a Steampunk Victorian-esque setting (most of the Castlevania series, Final Fantasy 6, Thief series, Amnesia, Dishonored, Grim Dawn, off the top of my head) and the 6th game featuring Lovecraftian monsters (Alone in the Dark, Quake, Eternal Darkness, Call of Cthulhu, Grim Dawn), so it's not exactly the path least tread for me. Even Pathways Into Darkness by Bungie features a "dreaming god" aspect without resorting to story elements reminiscent of all of the developer's other games. Not impressed.

    Multiplayer is no surprise, and operates almost precisely as it always has in these games. Fans will talk about how PvP isn't played up as much in this game, even though it's practically the same thing as always, just with fewer griefers coming in and ruining your game for you. In my opinion this is something of an improvement, though I still prefer hitch-free co-op and not performing arcane rituals inside and outside of the game to have any semblance of multiplayer.

    I have awarded this game 5 points to represent the utter banality and mediocrity I perceive; the re-use almost verbatim of all gameplay mechanics from the Souls series to date, the extensive art assets without inventing anything, and various technical annoyances - wildly varying framerates, connectivity problems, long load times - endemic to the series that have not and probably never will be resolved.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bloodborne is one of the best games I've played. The game has very few issues, but they were glaring flaws.

    Game Play: While at times I found my character overly handicapped, the end result is a smooth and realistic combat delivery system. It feels good to get it right. My only complaint is that some areas get monotonous because of this. I kind of look at it like a film, you do a scene over and over again until you get it right. Or until that guy finally drops what you wanted him to drop. 9/10

    Graphics: Excellent look and feel. The rag doll physics were a little silly at times and the templates for Central Yarnham were recycled to the limit. I would have liked a little more variety but that's me nitpicking. 8/10

    Story: There is no actual story to this game. I'd call it lore, or premise. This is because the narrative is expressed through 'Easter Egg' texts found through out the game and the ramblings of the boss you're fighting. Here are a few gems:

    "As you once did for the vacuous Rom, grant us eyes, grant us eyes. Plant eyes on our brains, to cleanse our beastly idiocy."

    "...Beasts all over the shop... You'll be one of them, sooner or later..."

    Those quotes are not choice picks. Every story element in this game is horribly cryptic and sometimes embarrassing. On the bright side this appeals to some. But giving this game credit for the story isn't fair.
    2/10

    Multiplayer: PVP can be exciting provided your opponent is fair and takes you on mono e mono. However it can be equally frustrating when the little vulture stays out of your range and sneak attacks while you're busy with another mob. Co-Op is nice but stacking more handicaps on a cripple can stifle the fun. I preferred the single player experience but credit is definitely due. 7/10

    Difficulty: It was refreshing to see a game that required you to play by it's rules. You don't see that much anymore. While more forgiving than the classics like Galaga and Pac-Man, BloodBorne is consistent enough to convince people that the game is too hard or people who play by the rules have "got gud."
    My biggest complaint is the poor tutorial hints in the beginning. It felt like a wet handshake. It seemed like they wanted to go ICO but caved at the last second. 8/10

    Replayability: This is a mixed bag. The game is designed to be played through at least 3 times. I found myself unable to finish the second time around. While I enjoyed my time with BloodBorne the game didn't leave an impact on me. For some I'm glad it did. But I think I'm in the majority when I say this game doesn't have too many layers. You don't need a princess to save but at least tell me my character lost his family to beasts when he was young, or any incentive really. 5/10

    In the End: Bloodborne is a great game that could have been amazing. The frame rate issues that people cry about never effected my experience, and the load times have been greatly reduced. Aside from the story my gripes would be pretty small. For the full experience you need to read up on the game or be clairvoyant. Examples of this would be getting killed by a snatcher to progress to a certain area or eating umbilical cords. If you figured this stuff out on your own that's great. Trust me you are in the minority.

    I may change my tune with the release of BloodBorne 2. Combined the games may make a complete narrative.    … Expand

    The atmosphere is immaculate and the general story is passable, but as with all Souls games it really doesn't have a strong narrative. Most of the accepted story is written by fans on wiki websites.

    The Chalice dungeon is a mundane excuse for end game. They make you play it some to get your platinum trophy but after you get that there isn't much reason to ever go into the chalices again.

    Bloodborne seems like it was made for an audience of gamers over a decade ago, brimming with a try-hard art style and cringe-worthy repetitiveness. Penetrate the skin, and you’ve got a serviceable game at the core, but a fifteen-hour journey to the center of what makes Bloodborne good feels more like a voyage to the center of the earth.

It's the type of game that makes you feel like you're on drugs or gives you that exciting, thrilling, Christmas feeling . This game has a rich environment filled with a variety of enemies to fight and a boss waiting for you at the end to kick their ass after getting your ass kicked a few times. This game also has rich customization. You are able to choose from a variety of weapons, all weapons are viable and can be upgraded, unique and stylish fancy armor pieces, more for fashion. This game also features character creation, which is honestly sloppy and requires a YouTube tutorial on how to make a lesser monstrous playable character. (It's possible to make a super hot female or male character for those of you that are wondering) Lastly there is a level up system in which you can rank up through killing enemies and choose which stat to improve between Health, Endurance, or Special Skills (Strength, Dexterity, Arcane etc.) to become more powerful. The only downside to this game are the Chalice Dungeons. (Optional Grindfest) The story leaves a lot of un-answered questions but is rich in lore. This game isn't hard, it just takes getting used to like any other game. All in all this is a very memorable game and a game I am very satisfied with. Last word, get it!… Expand

    One of the best games released on PS4 so far. Very entertaining. very atmospheric. Solid graphics, lot's of "hidden" places to reach. Beware its far from being called "easy" game. You will wipe a lot! But you won't be dissapointed for this purchase. It's a must-played game on PS4 imo

    Visually striking, nerve-shredding and a fascinating streamlining of the Souls formula. Bloodborne is an exclusive jewel in the PS4 crown and you need to own it. [June 2015, p71]
