    Didn't know anything about this game when I bought it. Never played any Dark Souls and this is the first game I played from FromSoftware. What a brilliant game. It was hard but I kept playing and for a newbie in this genre, I'm proud to finish the game. All time favourite. A classic.

    I don't even know where to start with this game. the story, world design, and combat are phenomenal. each boss is designed to scare except Micolash. the fact that each boss has multiple body parts that can be damaged individually is awesome.

    Love the games of the Dark Souls series, but Bloodborne was a different experience in this genre!)
    Great Gothic atmosphere, beautiful soudtrack and such a favorite effect of overcoming difficulties. This game will stay in mind and soul for a long time, as well as it is always nice to return to it and experience some familiar stories of the dark world alone or with friends.

    Muy buen juego, requiere aprender de errores, reflejos e incluso muchas veces aprenderse todo el moveset para poder pasar un jefe

    Шедевр! Великолепно все! Отличная графика, стиль, захватывающие битвы с врагами. В меру сложная, но платину выбить можно если научиться играть.

    After playing Sekiro I told myself that I would go check out more Fromsoft games and boy was I in for a ride! Quarantine has made me check out this game with all the time I’ve got on hand and it really shocked me how good this game was. I have really been missing out with this one! I was told that the dark souls games were very difficult but I didn’t believe them until I played this game.After playing Sekiro I told myself that I would go check out more Fromsoft games and boy was I in for a ride!

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

    Make FromSoftware company shine. Everyone has their own story description.
    Amazing Cthulhu style. Metaphors that make players think.
    No any SJW trouble. Just Hunter.

    El juego que mas me ha gustado, jefes increíbles, variedad en armas, buen modo online, la dificultad del juego que te hace querer jugarlo aunque mueras un par de veces, 105 horas para platinarlo me tomo, y con seguridad es uno de los mejores juegos no sólo de la generación sino de la historia de los videojuego.

Гейм-дизайн - просто челюсть отвисает, а атмосфера какая, графика для меня не устареет никогда, звук - отпад. Проходил несколько раз и вернусь еще не раз. Большой поклон разработчикам.
    Серия Dark Souls - херня, просто поделка по сравнению с "порождением крови".

    Fantastic atmosphere except for the audio sector, repetitive and basically consisting of a loop of laments. Interesting gameplay, the fight is original but technically lower than the dark souls, I finished the game with the initial weapon and I was never tempted to change it. Some bosses are charming but others are very stupid

    The game way of going with quality over quantity really works. Relatively limited collection of weapons, equipment, stats. But each one offers a different approach to the gameplay.

    Right. Game completed, Old Hunter DLC done, all trophies got. It's time to talk about this game, even if 5 years late.

    Some context, this is my first FromSoftware game, and it for sure won't be the last. I had heard the warnings, how this is a difficult game, and I was all in. I would say that, yes, it was difficult. For me it was, because it was my first FromSoftware game. I'd    Right. Game completed, Old Hunter DLC done, all trophies got.

    Some context, this is my first FromSoftware game, and it for sure won't be the last. I had heard the warnings, how this is a difficult game, and I was all in. I would say that, yes, it was difficult. For me it was, because it was my first FromSoftware game. I'd imagine in 2015 it posed less of a problem for those who played Dark Souls 1,2, and Demon's Souls, but by the end, I 'got' the gist.

    For the uninitiated, starting up this game for the first time with no guide, and no reference, I was completely confused. The literal first thing you have to do is basically die to a well over-powered thing. Ok. This is different...

    In fact, the first couple enemies I actually fought were with my bare hands, because the game doesn't 'tell' you how to equip anything, let alone weapons. This game you sort of have to work the most basic to the most advanced things out all on your own, and to be honest, I enjoyed that.

    What's so great about this game?

    This is the first game possibly in ever that made my heart beat. At a major boss encounter you're almost there, you've got your 000's of 'blood echos', the boss is within an inch of its life, and ... you messed up. Then it's back to the drawing board, and you get your 'blood echos' back, you die again and rinse and repeat, until, eventually you try something different that works. I found the game really rewarding, albeit frustrating at the beginning.

    Game 'is' damn hard, for the uninitiated. But gets easier as you level yourself. Even with this, there were only a couple of bosses I cleared first try. Every boss, especially those found in the chalices, are unique with their own considerable array of move sets, weaknesses and strengths.

    The combat is pretty deep due to all the different builds you can make with armour sets found in the world. And the choice of weapons is extensive, just enough, not too crazy, but very varied between them, and each weapon allows a degree of combo's.

    The world is so crafted and well-designed, it all just fits, and makes sense. You feel a sense of relief every time you unlock a shortcut, which means you won't 'have' to repeat longer paths and even the collectibles found in the world are genuinely useful. Everything serves its purpose, even if you won't necessarily make use of every game mechanic in a first play-through. It's all in there to be discovered, and played with.

    You'll want all the blood vials you can find, especially early on. The gems you find are excellent, another layer in aid of weapon combat, and there's even pvp, which I admittedly did virtually none of, except for getting attacked a couple times. I did the whole game including the bosses and chalices solo, but it's cool that online is there for those who want the co-op.

    Finally, writing notes was another interesting game mechanic, which I'm sure must be part of FromSoftware games like Souls, but getting health from "fine" appraisals came in handy during a few boss fights.

    I'm going to rate this highly, because it's very deserving, although not perfect. The chalice dungeons, although a great idea (and there are a lot of them - replay-ability!), I found these became a slog. They are optional, but I feel had the trophy requirement not demanded chalice exploration of me I'd have skipped altogether.

    I also had a few questionable camera moments usually in conjunction with the enemy lock-on feature, and it cost me a couple of deaths to bosses, for sure. And I found playing this on the now 7-year old PS4 hardware gave questionable sub-30 fps at times. It almost stuttered to a lock during one particular boss encounter. So, a little surprising this wasn't optimised a little better given its PS4 exclusive tag, and how other more cpu and video intensive games in recent times cope better.

    I'm looking forward to trying the Dark Souls games and feel I have a better grounding in what to expect. Not perfect, a strong 9/10.    … Expand

El juego es exigente y requiere habilidad ya que aquí no hay escudo para cubrirse, es esquivar todo el rato. A nivel de escenarios y nivel gráfico es increíble con unas estructuras góticas muy recargadas. El nivel artístico es increíble. En cuanto a los bosses, algunos imponen bastante y otros resultan bastante desafiantes hasta que les coges el punto.Si te gustan los Souls, debes jugar a este. Para mí, uno de los mejores juegos exclusivos de la generación. Muy recomendable.… Expand
