    Bloodborne per me è stato il soulslike più facile da completare, e l'unica vera sfida del gioco si trova nel suo Dlc, che include sia alcuni dei boss migliori sia le armi più originali del gioco. Purtroppo il gioco base si ritrova con la maggior parte delle boss fight caotiche e confuse, specialmente quelle contro le bestie giganti di cui si riesce a vedere ben poco durante lo scontroBloodborne per me è stato il soulslike più facile da completare, e l'unica vera sfida del gioco si trova nel suo Dlc, che include sia alcuni dei boss migliori sia le armi più originali del gioco. Purtroppo il gioco base si ritrova con la maggior parte delle boss fight caotiche e confuse, specialmente quelle contro le bestie giganti di cui si riesce a vedere ben poco durante lo scontro ravvicinato, e quindi è difficile capire cosa stanno per fare durante lo scontro. Lo ritengo un buon gioco ma con dei boss molto deludenti e con attacchi molto simili, e con un ambientazione troppo ripetuta fatta di borghi e foreste e poca reale differenziazione della build del personaggio. Buon gioco, ma per me è il più debole tra quelli che ho giocato nel genere.… Expand

    The only enjoyment I got from this pile of trash is when I uninstalled it.
    Horrible graphics, laggy and awkward controls. Excessively hard for no reason.

    This game is truly amazing no doubt. From really did an amazing job, I think it’s the best in the souls genre.

    My absolute favorite game of all time.
    Unique lovecraftian setting, best story of the whole souls series with their classic storytelling and difficulty, amazing and horrifying boss design, beautiful and dynamic weapon- and combat design.

    There is not one thing I don't adore at this game.

    My only complain would be, that there are only 2 DLC's because god knows I would have bought 20 more!

It's an ugly tunnel runner, combat system is nothing to write home about, especially when you get to fight some over-sized gob in cramped space where can't see crap what's happening because of the mentioned cramped space and the over-sized gob. That's the difficulty of this game, not the dying when fighting difficult enemies. Sure, you die some fighting hordes of mobs too a bit. One of the stupid things that there's no collision mechanics between them. You get to explore map that is boring and ugly. Mediocre crap for emo kids. I'm happy I didn't spend a coin getting this game.… Expand

    +great bosses and gameplay

    Having to squeeze time in for videogames sometimes, it is frustrating to play one where most of the free time I have is retrying areas and/or bosses due to the difficulty level. It seems like a lot of effort for the little time some people have for videogames these days. The scenery is nice and the enemy differentiation is welcomed, but this isn't a game for some people who want to play for fun.

    The best game FromSoftware has ever made, and one of the best games on the PS4. Hoping it gets a touch-up for PS5 or PC sometime soon, as the 30 fps cap on PS4 is the only issue with the game.

    This was more difficult for me than the dark souls games, but the combat does feel very good. The setting is unique and very beautiful. I personally prefer the dark souls games, but this is still very good.

    Just as a forward-I have completed Bloodborne in it's entirety and I'm very proud that I was able to do that. That includes all optional areas/bosses and every weapon and item found with every pathway explored. I did have to use an online guide to make sure I didn't miss anything.

That includes all optional areas/bosses and every weapon and item found with every pathway explored. I did have to use an online guide to make sure I didn't miss anything.

    Now, this was my first FromSoftware game. It looked cool, so despite the difficulty I figured I'd give it a go. It is often described as "tough but fair" which is a stretch. Most enemies can kill you in a few hits and are often placed just off camera. Some bosses feel very unfair, but every one can eventually be beaten. Sometimes that just requires hours of grinding and researching the right weapons and builds that work. Not necessarily the best game design, but I can understand why people like the feeling of accomplishment it gives you.

    The main problems that I have are not as widely advertised. One-You can't pause the game, even when offline. People have lives and it's bad enough to have to be laser focused on a boss battle while your wife is trying to talk to you. Major points off for this unnecessary design decision.

    Second and most importantly-What starts as a promising and cool story that sucks you right in really goes off the rails half way through. I was enthralled by Yarnham's districts and excited to see the Forbidden Woods that hid Byrgenworth College and Cainhurst Castle. Each avenue seemed to have a neat little sub section or shortcut.

    Then, the game devolves in to dream levels where it's just trying to be more and more gruesome and weird. Nothing feels connected and you just seem to teleport from one place to the next. By the end of the game it is almost required to watch a Youtube video explaining the story and it still makes little sense. It feels way to artsy and self indulgent.

    I did still put a ton of time into this game and enjoyed quite a bit of it, but i think it gets a lot of high scores that may not mention any flaws except the difficulty.

    Edit: I decided to change my review score after reading "The Paleblood Hunt" by Redgrave. That essay explains the lore of Bloodborne and should absolutely be required reading after finishing the game. So much of what seemed like nonsense in the game was actually a very intricate story.    … Expand

    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.

    Every single boss is a tedious slog. Most overated nonsense of all time. Sigh. Tried to come back to it. Everyone agrees battling the bosses suck, even if they like the game. So why is it a "10"? Because of the developer. Literally. The bosses are the worst I've ever experienced. Play Micolash, take off the rose colored glasses, and defend that fight. You cant.

Sekiro won game of the year unlike bloodborne who hasn't won game of the year but Bloodborne is also one of the best games of the century and also deserves game of the year that's facts Sekiro is just better than bloodborne i know some you that are hardcore die hard soulsborne fans like me would disagree and you don't want to hear or accept it but it's facts Sekiro is just better than bloodborne I have platinum bloodborne twice on my seperate account and on my main account as a veteran member of the soulsbourne community i love Bloodborne but Bloodborne is not better than Sekiro. Sekiro is the hardest Fromsoftware game thats facts people.. Sony Playstation what is you doing this game deserves a remake like Demon's souls Bluepoint games your on remake bloodborne and than make bloodborne 2 because its a crime this game is more than 6 years old Bloodborne has to be remaked for PS5 and we dont have a sequel for this game yet its a crime Sony PS you own the IP your going in gamer jail if you dont do a remake on Bloodborne because it has phenomenal boss fights one of the best melee combat in gothic hack slash action games the switching system of weapons is so good enemy variety is so good NPC story is so good the areas you go to are very interesting the art of this game is phenomenal a game you must play on PlayStation… Expand
