    Bloodborne is as glorious as it is grotesque, a harsh and unyielding exercise in getting battered mercilessly while feeling encouraged the whole painful way. While very much a Souls game through and through, the switch from methodical and slow progression to a faster, ultimately more sava

    Bloodborne will be hopefully next game to come to PC after Days Gone, i mean it's obvious at this point and i'm so hyped. I generally don't like souls games, because i absolutely hate dying over and over again, but to me Bloodborne is different. It has interesting setting and graphically it can look amazing on PC. Can't wait.

    El juego perfecto. La excelencia. El techo de la industria tanto jugablemente, como visualmente, como sonoramente. Todo. El imprescindible entre imprescindibles. Gracias fromsoftware y Sony por hacerme sentir con este videojuego lo mismo que sentí cuando jugué a Pokemon por primera vez con 9 años y devolverme esa ilusión por los videojuegos. Gracias, de corazón.

    This is the loveliest form of difficulty.

    You cant save the progress whenever you want. If you die, you start from the beginning (like the first Hitman game-Hitman Codename 47).

    Bloodborne is not perfect but man, does it come close. The setting and atmosphere are indeed perfect along with everything that goes along to making that perfect such as the music. Combat is fast-paced and will test your reflexes. I really love the outfits for your character although they seem to be really limited in helping you out as armour.

I really love the outfits for your character although they seem to be really limited in helping you out as armour. Barely any noticeable protection which actually opens the door to just wearing whatever you think looks cool since the fire armour is barely going to help you much more against a fire using enemy (as an example), I do have a couple of nit picks such as you cannot reassign your RPG points, having to go to the Hunter's Dream to teleport anywhere instead of directly at the lamps like in DS III, and some of the Caryll Rune buffs are pathetic (2 or 3%, really?). But it is easy to overlook these shortcomings because the combat is fantastic and the bosses are so much fun. Runs like complete **** on PS4 as you will see frame drops especially on the boss fights but it mostly runs fine. Game is on the top of my list for should be ported to a PC ASAP. Game is awesome but not for **** GIT GUD BIOTCH.… Expand

    Genuinely one of the best designed games and worlds I've ever played. Even something as small as progression is just nonlinear enough to be satisfying but not overwhelming. Also a great game to get into fromsoft games, but it'll make you wish they were all bloodborne.

    Es el primer soulsborne que juego, la música te adentra en el momento de la campaña, sus escenarios son majestuosos, y sus jefes, lo mejor que he enfrentado, es un videojuego que temía jugar, pero que con respeto, gracias a él me introduce en una saga de juegos. No puedo describir más allá del hecho de que si hay un juego que le he invertido mucho, es este.

    Bloodborne is the best game of the Souls-Borne series. You can tell how From Software learned from their previous titles, and made a true masterpiece. Action is fluid and frenetic, enemies and the areas are challenging but rewarding, the weapon system is flawless, and the lore is just as interesting as other souls games, maybe even more in comparison.

    Amazing plot, writing, atmospherics and weapons. Though a 1-3 shot death game with some AI issues where a few bosses spam OP arcane spells continously without end back-to-back as some bug, never fixed. Irritating while the game is already difficult and punishes you upon death

    Bloodborne is to me the best Fromsoftware game to be released to date, with fast paced combat, a interesting story, and an incredible environment make this a 10/10 for me.

There are some frame rate issues, but it really only affects you when you go into a loading screen. Some people hate the dungeon system, but me personally I enjoy the dungeons and use them to farm for blood echoes and blood gems, but I can see why people hate it as it is a grind to go through them all, and if you want to platinum you have to do them all. I already mentioned that the combat is fast paced which differs from dark souls where a majority of the combat is shield, strike, shield, strike. In bloodborne the combat uses a lot of dodging, getting hits in, retreating, and doing it again, although your best bet is to counter and use viseral attacks to deal major damage. Like most Fromsoftware games you have to discover and piece together the story yourself which can invest you into the game. The environment is absolutely gorgeous with beautiful victorian style buildings, roads, and rooms. The DLC only makes the game better with new enemies, weapons, clothes, and bosses which add even more to the story. To sum it all up if you have a Ps4 Bloodborne is a must play, and if witcher wasn't released in the same year I do believe that it would have won game of the year.… Expand

Conociendo poco la saga Souls y únicamente habiendo jugado 2 entregas de Hidetaka Miyazaki. He de decir que Bloodborne me ha gustado bastante. Teniendo una historia en mi opinión más apetecible que las entregas de la saga Dark Souls, Bloodborne brilla más por utilizar unas mecánicas ya conocidas es los juegos de FromSoftware que están mejor definidas y mejor implementadas. Además de la caracterización de escenarios, personajes y enemigos que dan una ambientación y contexto mejor en mi opinión. Además me parece que aunque beba mucho de los Souls ha sabido ubicarse en el tiempo y hacer algo diferente que refresque un poco el género. Básicamente resumiendo Bloodborne me parece un gran juego que ha sabido reinventar un poco la saga Souls y dar un soplo de aire nuevo al género. Creo que esta un poco por encima de cualquier Dark Souls aunque sí que en mi opinión está por debajo de Sekiro que me parece el mejor juego de FromSoftware. La nota que le pongo es de 8 aunque realmente sería un 8.5 pero aun asi muy recomendado jugarlo porque en mi opinión entra entre los mejores lanzamientos de PS4.… Expand
