    Para mim o melhor jogo da 8° geração de consoles, gráficos, história, imersão completa, além da Lore do jogo ser quase perfeita!

    My biggest mistake might be I'm playing Sekiro before trying this game out which makes me not enjoying this game at all.

    I could see the potential of this game but somehow just not a pleasant gameplay for me where all you do is just dodging which also require precise timing.

    The world itself also is not looking appealing, again due to I played Sekiro before this one which makes me cannot appreciate the greatness of this game.

    Story not easily understandable so never truly paying attention to it where in Sekiro, you'll at least get the main plot of the story and understand it.

    Sorry Bloodborne, I just know FromSoftware from Sekiro which right now is my best game of all time so I'd like to try another FromSoftware game but turns out there's no other game like Sekiro. Will wait for Elden Ring.    … Expand

    Super good and fun game, congrats to FS for trying a different take into the souls series with very different mechanics.
    The game is set in a perfectly made horror-like nightmare, progressing through the story will spook you from time to time but also staying still and looking around will give you the creeps sometimes, it is really well made and staged, incredible.

    Few things keep me from giving a 10 I fear: rare (but existing) junky hitboxes, certain enemies/bosses tend to stun lock you without possibility to defend yourself, and I would have preferred the optional dungeon stuff to be intended as mandatory to finish the game (not all of them, I’d say 3/4 dungeons) as the game itself is not really that long nor difficult to complete in a reasonable period of time.
    If you’re good at videogames in general and got some reflexes, you could complete this title in less than 70 deaths for sure, even if it’s your first souls-like game.
    I resume stating that this game is amazing and I invite everyone who’s interested in a challenge to play it.

    May the old hunters lead your way    … Expand

    Just the best game ever made. On your first playthrough you can farm enemies for upgraded your level and make bosses easier so the game isnt really hard. The first time is perfect, discovering all the game is the best experience of gaming I ever had. The next playhrough is just calm and rushing all the boss, you feel safe in the world of yarnham

    It's in my top 5 list of the best games of my life. Attention with details and the lore is fascinating. Gameplay is better than DS imo and difficulty is fair, even if you didn't play DS games or don't like them give it a shot.
    Shame Sony abandoned this game a truly masterpiece, locked behind 30fps old ps4 console

    it's generally too hard, i really wanted to enjoy this but there is generally too many flaws and the most overrated game ive ever seen. 6-7/10 at most, but im giving it a 2 to even out, because people that gives this game a 0 are idiots, because that is what you should give a game if it wont load up, otherwise at least 1/10.

    One of the best games of 2010's, a visit card of 7-th generation consoles and just a cult phenomenon.
    World, lore, design, gameplay - everything is perfect. Probably the only problem is 30 FPS lock, which why sometimes game fells not enough responsible. Still I strongly recommend this to everyone, not scared by a little challenge.

    Отличная игра, в которую хочется переигрывать! Много интересных босов, захватывающая атмосфера и идеально отточенный геймплей. Из минусов естественно скрытый сюжет, о котором хочется узнать больше (и не через описание предметов), ну и немного технических проблем, которые игрок использует в свою же пользу, что немного ламает игру    [RU]

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Esse jogo é único e incrível do jeito que ele é, não há nada que eu acrescentaria para esse jogo caso fosse o desenvolvedor. Uma lore digna de obra-prima, com uma jogabilidade viciante e fluída, bastante variado de inimigos, armas, cenários, combates e até mesmo chefes, onde a trilha sonora de cada chefe te fazem entrar no clima da caçada, como por exemplo, a grandiosa trilha sonora da Fera Clerical, é simplesmente épica. O único detalhe que deixaram de lado nesse jogo foram os gráficos e texturas, parece um jogo antigo de início da geração PS3, mas ainda assim, ao jogar e platinar, esqueci com o tempo que esse jogo é feio por conta da sua bela direção de arte!… Expand

    Just incredible. Had never heard of it before it came on PS5 as a free game with PS Plus (I skipped the PS4/XB1 console generation entirely). Wow. Totally blown away. Atmosphere, difficulty, mechanics, lore. It's emotional.

    Очень атмосферная игра. Затер до дыр.
    DLC еще не проходил, так как потерял свои сохранения.
    9 из 10 заслужено. Если бы смогли доработать Чаши, то поставил бы 10

    10/10. This is the best game I played on PS. I'm not a big fan of Souls game. I played Dark Sours 3 before but was never into it. I thought I would dislike Bloodborne but I was wrong.
    Though it looks like a Souls game, the gameplay is quite different. The combat is generally faster in Bloodborne. The gun + melee gameplay is much more enjoyable than the shield + weapon system in Dark Souls    10/10. This is the best game I played on PS. I'm not a big fan of Souls game.

The gun + melee gameplay is much more enjoyable than the shield + weapon system in Dark Souls series in my opinion. Using your gun to parry an enemy is very satisfying. The lore is good as usual. I mean it's made by FromSoftware, certainly with a good story. Very good map design. The music is good. What else?
    I cannot think of many disadvantages. Probably there is one thing I dislike. The story itself is too simple. I'm not talking about the lore but the story. The story our players experience. For example, the NPCs you saved barely contribute to the story. A little disappointed.    … Expand
