    Phenomenal art design and visuals.
    Animations are great.
    Combat is visceral, challenging and puts the tempo mostly at the player's discretion. Macabre and engaging lore. Farming health can be annoying when resources are depleted.

    Es simplemente increíble, la mejor obra de fromsoftware hasta ahora. La única contra que le pongo es que es demasiado corto, De ahí en fuera es una maravilla.

I was told that the dark souls games were very difficult but I didn’t believe them until I played this game. Boy was I seeing the game over screen a lot! That didn’t take away from the fact I was having fun! I got the DLC as well and I finished the game and put the controller down after I was about level 300. I was able to put myself in the blood borne universe and it felt amazing! The gameplay here is so unbelievably addicting and fun. I haven’t played any action RPGs like this one and I’m glad I was able to put so much time into it. All the weapons in this game are fun. I really liked the leveling mechanics in the game and the fact you get acquainted with whatever weapons you want rather than getting a level 1 sword and throwing that away after you get to level 2. It makes you get more intimate and familiar with whatever you choose to use and I appreciate that. Fromsoft was able to put together a solid and unique gameplay experience that really has the player fully engaged in the boss fights because let’s face it, that’s where all the fun is. I would recommend this game if you’re looking for a good challenge and can handle throwing your controller out of frustration at times hahah...jk...kind of. Amazing game!!!… Expand

    me encanta la saga souls, creo que este es el tercer mejor juego de la saga, por detras del 1 y del 3, es un juego con mucha personalidad, los escenarios son increibles, el unico pero es que no tiene mucha libertad en elegir tu forma de luchar, es muy limitado comparado con sus hermanos

    Review coming from a non-Souls player. This is my first and currently only one that i played. It is a masterpiece of art & design, smiling at Lovecraft. Gameplay-wise is excellent but NOT for anyone...You need to put effort and patience to master it! Story isn't given...you can speculate about very deeply. Easily one of the best, if not the best, game i ever played.

    I absolutely hated the game in the beginning area where you have to fight a mob of enemies. For some reason I thought to give it another try. Over a 100 hours of playtime later, its now one of my favourite games of all time.

    The best souls game out there, this is the game that hooked me (and probably many others) into the souls games.

    Pros
    Interesting Lore and characters
    Faultless Boss fights
    Extremely Atmospheric
    Fantastic Score
    The Weapons and Combat
    One of the best DLCs

    Cons
    There is None!

    This is a must buy to at least try for all PS4 owners

    Un buen Soulslike, hecho por Hidetaka Miyazaki y con atmósfera gotico victoriana y horror cosmico Lovecraftiano, simplemente una obra de arte bien hecha de principio a fin.

    bloodborne es un gran juego , aunque su nota sería como un 8,7 el gameplay es frenético , la ambientación está muy lograda , pero para mí está solo por encima de dark souls 2 si lo comparamos con el resto de juegos de miyazaki , inova en demasiado poco , y la cantidad de builds es limitada (armadura ligera y poco daño pero muy rapido , solo se puede cambiar el daño ) la mecánica de lasbloodborne es un gran juego , aunque su nota sería como un 8,7 el gameplay es frenético , la ambientación está muy lograda , pero para mí está solo por encima de dark souls 2 si lo comparamos con el resto de juegos de miyazaki , inova en demasiado poco , y la cantidad de builds es limitada (armadura ligera y poco daño pero muy rapido , solo se puede cambiar el daño ) la mecánica de las pistolas está bien pero se vuelve exceptuando unos pocos casos , un aparato para hacer parry puesto que su daño es nulo . La ambientación es muy buena y el diseño de los enemigos también pero donde yo creo que bloodborne cae es en el pobre sistema de atajos ( cerca del jefe hay un ascensor o una puerta que te lleva cerca de principio de la zona ) y una conexión de mapeado nula . El otro punto negativo de bloodborne son los jefes , algunos están muy bien pero la mayoría son repetitivos e injustos : Las brujas , El renacido , rom o los emisarios celestiales son algunos ejemplos . Pero al final es un gran juego que todo el mundo debería jugar… Expand

    Story and setting is interesting, but the poor framerates even on PS5 makes this unplayable for me. I get headaches after playing just 30 minutes. (happens only with Bloodborne) I firmly believe people are forgiving so much crap in Bloodborne just because it's From Software title.
    Until 60fps option, it's a 6 for me.

    This game is the motivation to buy PS4, and also my first console game. Before BB, I have played DS1 & 2, and also fully experienced the "evil" game design from Mr. Miyazaki, haha.

Repressed atmosphere combined with extraodinary and refreshed combat made this game awesome. Compared with traditional ACT, BB is not rich in options of actions, but the combat versus strong enemies and monsters is still very very exciting. With limited options, you need to focus on the movements of you enemy, observe and think carefully, and decompose them before you can beat them. The process is definitely full of interest and challenge. Exploration is fun as well. Many NPCs, valuable side quests and props are hidden in a certain corner in the game. Play with patience, and you will find a new world.… Expand

    I love the dark souls series, but this elevates it even higher. The combat is so much faster than the dark souls games, and it encourages an aggressive playstyle rather than a defensive one. The world is amazing and beautiful, and this is on top of the best level design I've ever seen in any game

    Bloodborne is my favorite game but it has 3 serious faults: The first is the video camera operated with the ass, the second are the hunters as they have infinite bullets and stamina and are of level much higher than yours, the third is that the enemies you can hit through the objects for the rest is very beautiful.
