    This game is a masterpiece and has become my favorite game of all time. That’s saying a lot as it was my first souls like game, and I avoided those for over a decade. Can’t wait for Elden Ring!!

    Un juego es CASI perfecto, su combate, historia, diseño artístico, jefes y mitología son perfectas, pero las únicas cosas que para mi no lo hacen ser un 10 son que las catacumbas son muy repetitivas y son básicamente un copia y pega una de la otra, que los trajes en cuanto a estadísticas son casi lo mismo, que hay armas mucho más buenas que otras, lo cual hace que todos los jugadoresUn juego es CASI perfecto, su combate, historia, diseño artístico, jefes y mitología son perfectas, pero las únicas cosas que para mi no lo hacen ser un 10 son que las catacumbas son muy repetitivas y son básicamente un copia y pega una de la otra, que los trajes en cuanto a estadísticas son casi lo mismo, que hay armas mucho más buenas que otras, lo cual hace que todos los jugadores terminemos usando la misma arma y que el combate online es un sinsentido de dar y recibir golpes constantemente hasta que uno muera, sin mencionar claro que el sistema de campanas para encontrar jugadores es mediocre y uno puede estar minutos sin que ocurra nada.… Expand

    Don Mullen's opinions are invalid, he is a traveller. Better than legend of Zelda breath of the wild. Muller is actually an L.

    The game is an absolute masterpiece. From the amazing combat to the fascinating lore to its soundtrack and aesthetics with the gothic love-craft world. FROMSOFT best work.

    Simplesmente maravilhoso, tive que criar uma conta só pra falar o quão grandioso é esse game, pra mim, pau a pau com Dark Souls 1 como os melhores games da série Souls, sem falar que ele é o favorito do Miyazaki.

    Nearly a perfect game as far as beginnings and ends go, however, the Chalice dungeons leave something to be desired and detract from the game as time goes on. Whenever a game that is this close to perfect includes a feature that will be predominantly used at the beginning of the game's life cycle, it always detracts from the game's overall perfection.

    Felt like torture after first area but quickly became my top 4s, combat feels magical, smooth and finished, only thing is that when u RUN and press O ur character will jump which is annoying in fights but rather then that this game is a masterpiece

    On par for my favorite Fromsoftware game, but it's not perfect. I can admit that some of the bosses aren't super fun, or are unfair if not approached carefully (Rom...). Not as many weapons as DS is also a valid point, but I think all the weapons manage to be fun unlike most of the filler weapons in DS. With the couple negatives out of the way, I can talk about why I love this game soOn par for my favorite Fromsoftware game, but it's not perfect. I can admit that some of the bosses aren't super fun, or are unfair if not approached carefully (Rom...). Not as many weapons as DS is also a valid point, but I think all the weapons manage to be fun unlike most of the filler weapons in DS. With the couple negatives out of the way, I can talk about why I love this game so much.

    Firstly it perfects the dodging combat system by making the player faster alongside the bosses. It's a constant tango of exchanging blows, dodging through hard hitting opponents, and ultimately coming out on top. The feeling of triumph over a boss is there even after multiple playthroughs.

    The setting also really appeals to me. The gothic Victorian areas feel very different from Dark Souls' castles, and as small as it is felt like it gave a huge new breath of life to the game. Its very gray, and I can understand that being a turnaway for people, but I think had the game had more vibrant color sections it wouldn't invoke the same dread and mystery as it does. Which speaking of...

    One of the huge inspirations for the game is HP Lovecraft. Not a shock to anyone whose even seen footage of the game, but it draws on the inspiration yet doesn't ripoff it. The pursuit of the eldritch truth and the deeper lore of the game always fascinate me even to this day.

    Overall one of my favorite games, and definitely worth a check for any PS4/5 owner who wants to get into Fromsoftware or a returning Veteran.    … Expand

    Like every other Souls game, Bloodborne does not tell you the story directly, but if you try to dig deep and try to understand the story, you’ll see a master-level story design. With the refined gameplay, the satisfactory feeling in the combat is way better than other mainstream games. Here, I’m writing my review in 2022, I can say that it is one of the best games I have ever played.

    A truly amazing and fascinating game.
    Surely one of the best Fromsoftware games.
    I would gladly enjoy a possible sequel or prequel for this

    My Favoriten Game of all time. The Environment ist fantastic. Also the music of some of these Bosses is S-Tier. My favoirite is Lady Maria of the Astral clock Tower from the DLC (I am No simp). The Strings in that are absolutely amazing. The Bosses are super cool too. 10 Out of 10

    Bloodbonre is just one of those games man. This was the first souls game I was exposed to, and I absolutely fell in love with it. Besides the fact that the gameplay is masterclass, the lore behind literally everything in the game is intriguing to an unfair degree, and it doesn't even tell you the story. This game is a treasure trove of fun, rage, and interest.

    Cool game with a REALLY cool aesthetic. The Victorian-esque Cthulu-esque motif is pretty rare in games, so this is a breath of fresh air. The lack of any blocking makes this game pretty tough for me in the early hours, but I finally got my head around the dodge or gun-interrupt mechanics. For being a seven-year old game (now), the graphics for me hold up pretty well. I doubt I'll ever beCool game with a REALLY cool aesthetic.

    The single most overhyped video game ever, like it's literally Dark Souls but.. DARKER and gets overhyped to death, awful fps/performance, terrible loading times, blood farming, half the base game bosses are gimmicks, it's not close to Sekiro or Elden Ring

    Seek a ray of light in this miserable world, not the luxury of pampering in a bright world. Fight in the dark, and finally get out of the cage to see the sun, but there is nowhere to escape. It is very difficult to restore a complete world view and restore a unified style of the world. Once completed, it is also shocking. Scary, eerie, sometimes magnificent, sometimes regrettable. VerySeek a ray of light in this miserable world, not the luxury of pampering in a bright world. Fight in the dark, and finally get out of the cage to see the sun, but there is nowhere to escape. It is very difficult to restore a complete world view and restore a unified style of the world. Once completed, it is also shocking. Scary, eerie, sometimes magnificent, sometimes regrettable. Very artistic style. And this is all thanks to the cancellation of the minimap, which allows me to really observe the scene itself, rather than staring at the map. At the same time, it also puts forward higher requirements for scene design to make enough recognition. Let the players gradually become familiar with the scene itself, from the familiar fear of the unfamiliar to being as friendly as their own balcony. Ugly and disgusting feelings occupy the vast majority, but it is because of this that I have the surprise of finding any ray of light. People cannot be amazed all the time, and it is impossible. There is always an upper limit and a lower limit for the balance of human senses. As long as the fluctuation is large enough, shock can be formed. From being unable to defeat the miscellaneous soldiers at the beginning, to overcoming my inner fear and facing the powerful boss, my mind has grown tremendously. This set of logic is exactly what the real me lacks: face the fear, face the challenge, and there is a way out if you face it bravely! The design concepts of various boss battles are very unique. The close-up frontal risk is low and the return is high. The long-distance avoidance of the risk is high and the return is low. It is very easy to die if you open the distance. Active attack is encouraged, and extreme counterattack is also encouraged, and the attack is the defense. Tribute to the Orphan of Kos who killed me a hundred times. I've also gone from being a big fan of Souls games from the very beginning. The various weapons in the game are very simple to look at, but the actual combat is ever-changing and very deep. It is very rewarding to use every move skillfully to resolve and defeat all kinds of perverted enemies. The presence of the plot is very weak, almost imperceptible, there is no clear description, dynamic plot performance. Some only have item descriptions, NPCs talk to themselves, and hidden notes scattered in huge scenes are collectively referred to as clues. To understand the plot, you can only piece it together through clues. There is no standard answer, maybe the real answer is only in Miyazaki Hidetaka's heart, and every player can have his own understanding and his own answer. The game format of Bloodborne has had a profound impact on me, and my acceptance of the game has changed. Many previous game experiences seem to have been shuffled.… Expand
