One thing I was happily surprised with was the story. In the dark souls series it's realy hard to understand the story without putting alot of time and effort into it and that's a good thing for alot of people, but bloodborne hits the sweetspot for me. You need to put time and effort in to understand every detail of the story but even without doing this you have a pretty good sence of what's going on. The only thing in this game that could be considerd a negative is that you character isn't as costomizable as in the dark souls games but for me personaly this is better because you don't get overwhelmed with stuff. So this is an easy 10/10… Expand

    Impossível não amar o Bloodborne. Platinei o game, valeu a pena cada minuto e cada centavo pago. Comprei DLC e adorei. Espero o Bloodborne 2. Vamos lá Fromsoftware.

    Bloodborne is one of the most exciting and intense experiences I have ever been through. The soundtrack oozes with originality and epicness. The gameplay is tight, responsive and just feels right. It gives you a sense of accomplishment like no other game I have ever played and deserves every bit of praise it has gotten.

    Amazing if you are a fan of souls games there are some small technical issues such as frame pacing but nothing that really diminishes the game if you own a ps4 it’s a must buy. Also don’t use a guide on your first run.

    Bloodborne. Bloodborne, Bloodborne, Bloodborne.

    Bloodborne is my favorite game. Ever. Of 15 years of playing video games, this is the first that I can point to and say "that one is my favorite". Bloodborne, though a step away from Dark Souls in combat and setting and lore, feels right at home with its Souls brethren. It's dark, it's grotesque, it's genuinely terrifying at times, and    Bloodborne. Bloodborne, Bloodborne, Bloodborne.

    Bloodborne is my favorite game. Ever. Of 15 years of playing video games, this is the first that I can point to and say "that one is my favorite".

    Bloodborne, though a step away from Dark Souls in combat and setting and lore, feels right at home with its Souls brethren. It's dark, it's grotesque, it's genuinely terrifying at times, and it's absolutely wonderful. The areas are as stunning as the graphics that create them, and the combat is slick, fast, and oh, so satisfying. Some Souls veterans found the transition from the slow, cautious approach to the fast, aggressive, in-your-face style of Bloodborne to be grueling, but I took the transition quite well, to be honest. I fancy this game's combat more than the Souls method of doing things. Instead of being cautious and waiting for the enemy to make the first move, you are constantly encouraged to take the initiative and drop enemies as quickly as you can. Be fast and be aggressive. Even towards the game's many original and well-designed bosses, this is the key to success. You have to juggle watching the enemy's moves, reacting in time, and taking every single opportunity to attack in your head simultaneously for every one of these drawn out battles. You can't afford to watch them and learn them, you have to learn them while you're on the attack. Don't let them push you into a corner; get them before they get you. The enemies are unforgiving, even more so than in previous titles, due to the faster nature of the combat. If you let them take the advantage, it will be difficult to get it back.

    The story of Bloodborne is equally as entrancing. Just like the Souls series before it, the story is told through the experience, with very little exposition, encouraging exploration of the world in order to piece together the story. From werewolves and mad villagers, the story descends, or ascends, depending on who you are, to eldritch horrors and Lovecraftian nightmares, as you begin to uncover what the world around you truly is, all the while questioning if you should go further, and every time being unable to resist delving deeper into the nightmare.

    The game's level design goes back to the Dark Souls style, with large, open-ended areas and few places of reprieve, but plenty of shortcuts that loop back in and around each other adequately enough. The largest area of the game has a single lantern for safety, and going through that terrible place all the way to the first shortcut, emerging on the other side to see the lantern there was a moment that made me jump out of my seat with excitement, and gave me confidence to keep going.

    Just as Dark Souls was, this is a game about honing your skills. The enemies will get much tougher, but so will you. You will evolve to meet the challenges ahead of you. From those first tentative and nervous steps out onto the bloodied cobbled streets of Yharnam, you will become a lethal blur, steel flashing as you cut into your enemies and watch them fall around you by the end of the game. You will learn to take things methodically, but at the same time quickly and efficiently, a phrase that makes more sense should you play the game. Bloodborne successfully blends in caution and aggression in a way that no other game I have played has, and it's a beautiful sight to behold when you duck under the lunge of a rabid werewolf only to slide into his side and let loose a flurry of your own, felling the beast in a matter of seconds.

    All-in-all, this is my favorite game in the Soulsborne series. It's refined without feeling stale. It's fast and aggressive without feeling overwhelming (most of the time...), and it's beautiful and horrifying at the same time. If you are a fan of the Souls series, and hell, even if you aren't and just have a PS4, this game is a must buy. Just like Dark Souls, it's a game that will punch you down into the ground and tell you to stay there, fully expecting you to get right back up and refuse to do so, and it will reward your perseverance with a rich world and story, satisfying and high-paced combat, and a true feeling of accomplishment that is only worthy of the greatest of Hunters.    … Expand

    A perfect combination of Victorian aesthetic, Gothic, and Cosmic horror, my favorite literary elements all wrapped into one. Sony and Miyazaki have underestimated the amount of love Bloodborne set out to garner over the years. Undoubtedly the most beloved PS4 exclusive.

    The best souls game period. Combat is fast and fluid with no more turtling behind shields and really upping the ante by allowing you to regain your HP by being bold and viciously attacking.

The scenery is lush, haunting, foreboding and masterfully crafted to confuse and lure you deeper in the labyrinthine tunnels and traps. Oodles of trap doors, secret passages, mystery and allure... This game really will suck you in. The creatures are as hellish and eldritch as you can imagine and the horror aspect on this game is played up more, evoking some genuinely scary and tense moments where you just dont want to turn the next corner and see whatever horros await. A perfect balance between white knuckle fierce gameplay and eerie, spooky horror. BUT BE WARNED: This is a souls game and honestly, especially with the DLC release, is probably also the hardest of the souls games (makes DS3 look like a joke). But with that challenge comes reward and you will die screaming over and over again in the pursuit of that glory and reward. LET THE HUNT BEGIN.… Expand

With bosses I struggled with I just kept trying or went and leveled up a bit and came back to kick ass (FU you Rom by the way). I pretty much discovered all areas of the game that I could and did some chalice dungeons before beating the final boss. The world and environment, atmosphere of yharnam is awesome I enjoyed the setting emensly. The games controls are tight and very responsive. The music and sounds are top notch. I didn't get to play this dlc but thinking about picking it up for new game +. My only real complaint was I wish there was more story because it seems like there's a lot of lore that we don't get to learn. I'm looking forward to if they release a bloodborne 2, might have to go try out dark souls while I wait.… Expand

    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.

    This game is genius. Bloodborne is still the souls game but combat is way better. There is no tank class, game-play is dynamic and more exciting. The joy of finally beating that boss is incomparable to anything else.

    One of the best game available on the PS4. This game really just has it all. The gameplay is fun, challenging and rewarding. The world is horrific yet beautiful in it's own way. The soundtracks are some of the best you'll find. It also have a very deep lore, and a lot of twists in the story that will keep you confused and horrified. I highly recommend it.

    I had fun reading the negative reviews. I played about one hour of Dark Souls 2 on the PS3, so I'm hardly a Dark Souls fan by any definition of the word, yet I love this game. Some say this game is too hard... some say it's hard for the wrong reasons (bad controls, bad mechanics)... some say it's repetitive... some say the story is lacking... some even say it looks like a last gen port...I had fun reading the negative reviews. I played about one hour of Dark Souls 2 on the PS3, so I'm hardly a Dark Souls fan by any definition of the word, yet I love this game. Some say this game is too hard... some say it's hard for the wrong reasons (bad controls, bad mechanics)... some say it's repetitive... some say the story is lacking... some even say it looks like a last gen port... After playing for about 15 - 20 hours at level 30 now, I feel like I can write a review on how I feel. First the difficulty. It's hard, AT FIRST, but becomes easier after the learning curve. And that's what those negative reviews culminate into; people who couldn't get past the learning curve of the game. I would say the learning curve for this game is between 6 - 10 hours, depending on how good you are. That's not bad considering games like Monster Hunter with a 20+ hour learning curve. You will die, A LOT in those first few hours, the story will feel lacking, and the controls will seem clunky. After hour 8 for me, I got the hang of finding shortcuts, and I started to understand what the story was about... Just encountering new enemies gives you an understanding of the story in this game. It isn't heavy on the cut screens, and I'm still learning about the world, but it rewards you if you pay attention.

    I absolutely LOVE the challenge this game offers. I don't find it repetitive, I find it rewarding. The feeling of finally defeating a boss you died 10 times trying to kill fills you with accomplishment... The frustrations turn to joy and you feel like you can really celebrate going into the next part of the map. Having to fight enemies that respawned before getting to the boss gives you some time to cool down and plan your next strategy before your next attempt. After the learning curve, the controls feel INCREDIBLY intuitive and comfortable. I feel like so much thought was given into designing the difficulty of this game. The balance is right for the experienced and hardcore gamer who will find what's been missing from their game library. In comparison, most games these days feel like you die just because you've taken too much damage, but in these types of games the difference between life and death can be in how you time your dodges and attacks, or proper use of items.

    The world is beautiful and dark; it looks every bit like a current gen game. The game has a very warm color balance to it, with the early dawn sky appearing as a bright orange and red. The levels and characters emphasis the gothic nature of the game, and add to the realization that something went terribly wrong in this world, further enhancing the story. Like I said, it rewards you to pay attention to these things.

    My load times are quick after the updates with my 7200rpm hard drive. I never feel like load times are an issue with my updated drive. This isn't a day 1 glory review, this is an objective review from a player who had put in the hours to beat the learning curve... A player who pays attention to the world to fully grasp what the developers were trying to tell me about the story... And a player who waited 18 months before buying the Complete Edition of Bloodborne for $20... A player who usually doesn't enjoy dark games and has never really played a Dark Souls game. This game isn't for casual gamers, and some negative reviews say that's a problem, but that adds to the uniqueness of games like this. If it were easy, would it be fun? Or would it just be another game to beat and put back on your shelf? I ask you, fellow gamers, why do you game? For me, it's for an experience like this, that will keep me coming back to prove I've got what it takes to overcome. An experience I look forward to, for the lore, for the challenge. This game made me interested in games like Dark Souls, and I very much look forward to playing Dark Souls 3 for the same experience.    … Expand

    Las mecanicas del juego en lo que se refiere a combate y herramientas son rusticas y primitivas es como jugar un juego de hace 20 años, hay cero innovacion salvo en el hecho de que esquiva mas rapido, es la unica diferencia esa y los tiros que hay que pegar practicamente a cm del oponente por que despues de unos metros no sirve para nada.
    Su atmosfera no es mi estilo, entiendo que haya gente que prefiera el gotico y lo emo, y la historia super depresiva con su infinita sangre, sangre y mas sangre, pero los niveles que son plataformas exageradamente adornadas no concuerda con nada, me refiero a una ciudad un pueblo, esta es la plaza estas son las viviendas el sistema de desague, que ciudad tiene una escalera de 50 o 60 metros, hay cosas sin sentido por todos lados. No quiere esto decir que los diseños no tengan su puente fuerte el hecho de que todas las plataformas esten conectadas es una indea genial, pero la forma en que corta el acceso a esas areas si me parece deficiente una reja, un pequeño muro, y en este punto quiero hacer el comparendo con un assassin creed en donde todo se puede explorar todo, Ademas si es una reja lo que me impide el paso porque no la vuelo en mil pedazos (el dia que eso pase en un vidiojuego sera increible) o me pueda colar por una ventana o pueda abrir la puerta que se me de la gana, lo unico que hace falta es ser un poco mas creativo en esos segmentos, ejemplo porque carajos una puerta de madera en el hospital no la puedo partir a hachazos pero si pueda romper cajas por todo el pueblo o criptas en el cementerio.
    una cosa importante no se puede cancelar un kombo, si el movimiento del arma se ejecuta en un lapso de 2 segundos no se puede interumpir, asi que me tengo que comer el daño de un enemigo habiendo tenido la intencion de esquivar, obviamente se generan dos formas una dar jugar golpes cortos y esquive o golpes fuertes y largos distanciados, eso y aprenderse todos los patrones del enemigo, no se puede solo improvisar no tengo que saber todos los movimientos y saber donde me puedo ubicar, es aburrido si se juega asi, me vi un gameplay un speedrun y lo unico que se hizo en todo el juego fue en potenciar el ataque con dos items y coordinarse con el enemigo, ninguno duraba mas de unos minutos, y yo me pregunto es este un juego dificil, no, es un juego simple con unas daños por los enemigos desmesurados con un gameplay obsoleto, es como jugar tennis con los pies, claro que es dificil, pero no por eso es justo o equilibrado, y no por ser dificil es un buen juego, queria que de verdad me gustara este juego y lo he terminado como unas diez veces incluyendo el dlc, que mejoro un poco con las armas pero nada mas.

    Hay un detalle mas y es que un golpe de un enemigo te persigue hasta el ultimo segundo, son solo pocos instantes que se tiene para esquivar, es como si estuvieran programandos para girar en cualquier direccion, aunque sea fiscamente imposible, pero a quien le importa verdad? no hay forma de esquivarlo de manera lateral siempre es hacia atras, incluso los jefes parecen ser unos p... trompos o licuadoras que reparten a diestra.    … Expand

    Wow. This game can make you swear, cheer, cry, and jump around the room flailing your arms in the course of a meager 10 minutes. Where most games nowadays try to tell a story, Bloodborne just gives you the reins and says: have fun. The game shows similarities to From Software's Dark Souls series, which are renowned for its high difficulty, excellent level design, and memorable boss fights. This game is arguably even better: from the Pre-industrial European setting to the combat, which is significantly different from Dark Souls. Bloodborne is inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's horror-fiction. This game sets this tone perfectly; grand Gothic churches, large clocktowers, carriages, and old gargoyle statues create an almost pittoresque world. Story telling is minimal, which helps add to the mystery and sense of danger in the game. From opening grand cathedral doors to ascending a ladder; you know one wrong move can result in death. The level design is, as expected, excellent. After traversing a level, a shortcut reveals itself, giving you easy passage to the lantern (bonfire), and with it; safety. The combat can be quite difficult in the beginning. Shields have all but dissappeared, making a defensive playstyle not really an option.. Side-stepping and getting in your opponent's face is the way to go: the game rewards you for being agressive. Nothing beats the feeling of a succesful visceral attack. I found myself dying at the first boss over and over; he is even considered one of the easier bosses of the game! Still, i was persistent and decided to 'git gud'. After downing my first two bosses, the game really 'clicked' for me: I was still dying occasionally to bosses, but after each defeat, I was asking myself what went wrong and how to improve. The game teaches you how to play along the way. Dying is just a part of the process forcing you to play more intelligently. The game gradually gets easier as you (and your character) get stronger. Nontheless, boss battles remain very challenging and rewarding. By the end, you'll greet death with a smile.    … Expand

    Bloodborne di something extremely cleaver for the genre. I'm a very big fan of the souls game and Dark Souls is one of my favourite games of all time, but Bloodborne, it suprised me. In this review I'm not really gonna talk about the story or anything allthough it has a more to your face story than Dark Souls, I'm gonna talk about one feature in preticular: the shields. Now in the SoulsBloodborne di something extremely cleaver for the genre. I'm a very big fan of the souls game and Dark Souls is one of my favourite games of all time, but Bloodborne, it suprised me. In this review I'm not really gonna talk about the story or anything allthough it has a more to your face story than Dark Souls, I'm gonna talk about one feature in preticular: the shields. Now in the Souls franshise shields have taken a really important role and it seemed pretty much essential, but it wasn't. Now this genre of gaming is not really appreciated by everybody, but BloodBorne was and I'm gonna explain why. There is two ways to play the souls games: The defensive way and the aggressive way. The aggressive way is the way to go either you're good at the game or not and I can say that as a long time fan. when someone recommends to their friend to play Dark Souls, they always recommend the defensive way wich is very repetitive and boring, so that person does not like the game any more after they played over an hour or two. That's why the aggressive way is better, it has more risk. If you play the defensive way, you're allways gonna use a shield. But what if there is no shield...
    From Software understood this problem very well and they thought that removing a feature from a game is not a good idea, so they made a new IP wich had the same gameplay as the Souls franchise with no shields so that people would allways take the aggressive approche (the way the games were supposed to be played). And thus Bloodborne was born (pun intended). And people loved it! So they wanted more. So they bought Dark Souls 3 and played the same way they played in Bloodborne. And they loved it. That's why it's the most highly rated in it's franchise. That's why I give this game a 10/10. I really recommend you play Bloodborne even if you're not a fan of the genre.    … Expand

    I like this Bloodborne game for its combat, climate. I hate this game for making you "run" to bosses. Yes, you can find shortcuts and make it a bit faster. However its still a long process after you die. IMHO there should be a checkpoint before every boss.

    IMHO there should be a checkpoint before every boss. We could still lose blood for that but make it possible to not lose my precious time "running". The frustration from dying in boss fight is not from dying itself and being able to kill the boss. The frustration comes from having to run 1-3 minutes or having to farm again potions.

    If you use your pots on a fight, you then need to refarm them in order to increase your chance of winning.

    Of course you can do everything without pots etc. however if it's your first run and you don't want to watch Youtube of how to beat the boss and get the feeling on your "own" then you will probably die at boss fights at least a few times before learning its moves.

    The "running" part makes this game unbearable for me. I tried. I beated a few bosses and had pretty good fun. Really cool, unique enemies however dying part is frustrating, not because of 'difficulty' which is really a blast, but because of how game makes you run to boss.

    If you value your time as much as I do, then do not buy. If you have plenty of time, you like difficult games and this minus doesn't bother you then this is a great game.    … Expand

In dark souls you can rest at the bonfires and easily farm items, where as in. Bloodborne you have to go back to the hunters dream and then back to where you were to replenish your blood vials. Apart from this the game is amazing and the DLC is a good size definitely worth a purchase also.… Expand

    A fast as hell, blood bath of a good time. Bloodborne has amazing combat mechanics that seem fresh for a souls-like game. However, the boss designs are not very memorable compared to other souls games and the lack of items makes the replay value dip quite a bit. The game definitely suffers from a lack of customization.

The quickstep and speedier gameplayAbsolutely and without a doubt the greatest game of all time. In my own opinion of course. The combat is the culmination of years of perfecting and tempering already one of the most well designed and truly challenging 3rd person 3D combat systems every created...where player freedom, control and interaction with the player character is second to none. The quickstep and speedier gameplay has exalted the souls combat formula to a Godlike level of enjoyment in even the smallest encounters....The true versatility, collage of attacks and combinations of just a single trick weapon will dazzle you with each and every satisfying, blood soaked slice into the flesh of your beastly grotesque enemies...Coupled with a world building skill that stacks up and towers over even some of the best games and an unrivaled and majestic attention to detail and atmosphere that has created one of the most intriguing, horrifying and exhilarating Victorian settings of all time.....the world, combat, atmosphere, music and sound design, story are all 10/10....

    A difficulty that is completely and totally unforgiving and harkens back to an age when games were about overcoming a challenge rather than giving you a seemingly empowering cushy avatar to carry you through an big epic story..... and in that world the Souls games and especially Bloodborne are a shining star casting light upon a new era that enriches your soul with satisfaction upon REAL accomplishment rather than simply coddling your ego as you're spoon fed.

    But even that virtually pales in comparison to the absolute triumph of creating and delivering one of the best Lovecraftian pieces of art Ive ever had the pleasure of experiencing. For that alone the game is 10/10, truly nailing Lovecraft is quite possibly one of the hardest things to do in writing, because only a handful of people in the world have the skill needed to create the atmosphere and macabre fear of the unknown LET ALONE translate into visual media in video game no less.....Not to mention the fact its a souls-like made by one of the best visionaries in his field Miyazaki-san is takes it to a level I had not thought possible in a video game because the souls formula is the best gameplay Ive encountered in my years since playing Legend of Zelda as a child. This game dethroned Bioshock as my favorite game of all time, and it is truly the best game I've ever played.

    The setting is this decayed scary and fantastic majestic city called Yharnam, so glorious and omnipotent as it is twisted and grotesque, filled with amazing vistas and detalis of its dark and almost evil secrets, simply put is one of the most compelling and beautify environment design i ever see anywhere. Most often giving you so much more context of the game, the night of the hunt and the world in general.

    The enemies and bosses are excellent !!! both in their design view point and their sense of danger, all of them are lethal and as the city itself, their design tells a story too, a story that goes so well blended with all the lore of the game, Boss fights are often terrifying, challenging andi have to say, very damned rewarding once you beat them! Some times alone and other with the help of otherhunters thanks to its multiplayer components.

    Another part of the game that is huge is this concept of Trick Weapons, these are fundamental to the over all gameplay and pace of Bloodborne and as all mentioned above, fits perfect in tis world, with this mix of gruesome lethality and smart mechanics. There is so much personality in the weapons you can use in the game and they are a lot of them! its a delight to see them in action.

    Overall, this game is a masterpeice, the lore and story as typical as the souls way, is hidden in the game, items, descriptions, etc, but is a very great story to be learned. The gameplay is almost tactical, with a frenetic pace that favours offensive play, but that punish you heavily if you don't respect the opponent you are against (other enemy hunters are the most wild and crazy fights in the game). Its a total challenge and it worth every second of it, lots of love and talent went into this game and it shows in the best way.

Las armas que podemos usar están muy diferenciadas una de la otra y son divertidas, aunque no se puede jugar de mas maneras como en dark souls y no se siente tan variada, cumple y te deja satisfecho.

    Lo que no me gusta aparte de que no podemos jugar de maneras muy variadas, es el modo multijugador, el sistema de las campanas puede ser aburrido al no encontrar otros jugadores y tardando hasta más de media hora en encontrar a alguien pero más allá de eso el juego es de los mejores para ps4, si todavía no lo has jugado y tienes ps4, esta es una compra obligatoria.    … Expand

    The crown jewel of FromSoft games; Bloodborne is the best game I've ever played. The world, music, combat, everything is the sharpest and most polished souls-formula game ever released. Sony said that this game sold more ps4s than any other console exclusive and its no wonder why.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game grabs you so hard in the beginning, you would have a hard time breathing, then...slowly you get to know the route and the mechanism, some people would probably give up early (there's a small boss around the corner in the very beginning of the game, there's no reward killing the boss, the fight can be really tough because you fight in a cramped place and the boss hits very hard...if you are new to soul games, I advice you come back later for this one).

    The atmosphere is almost disturbing, even after you get familiar with it, I do not recommend you to play a long session before sleep, it can be nightmare inducing, because you would take a lot of time doing the same thing over and over again...in this kind of Gothic atmosphere, you became absorbed.

    Now after you downed the first boss, it's a great feeling, the feeling the game is all about, until you got stuck with the next boss...

    Overall, it's a good game but also has it's problem, mostly from it's engine

    - The game runs on a very inefficient engine, with very basic physics, PS4 PRO should run it on 60PFS
    - The controls can be very bulky, when you fight some quick boss, you will find it out, the lantency in the control combined with camera angle problem    … Expand

    Boy oh Boy bloodborne is good. One the best games I have ever had the privilege to play. By far the most difficult section in the game is the defiled chalice dungeon, but it is also the most rewarding. Nothing comes close to the satisfaction of getting past that godforsaken dungeon.

    Retrospective after two years:

    This game has a couple problems. It runs at 30 fps, which can be a problem for some people, and in specific areas there is noticeable frame drops, especially in Lecture Hall Floor 1. There are fifteen or so second load screens every time the character warps to a new location and you can't warp directly between lanterns like you can in some of the Souls    Retrospective after two years:

    This game has a couple problems. It runs at 30 fps, which can be a problem for some people, and in specific areas there is noticeable frame drops, especially in Lecture Hall Floor 1. There are fifteen or so second load screens every time the character warps to a new location and you can't warp directly between lanterns like you can in some of the Souls games. The game has a high initial learning curve and when vials start getting low it can be a lot of pressure on new players who don't know good locations to get vials or who don't know to use some echoes to bolster their stockpile. The non-root chalice dungeons are somewhat boring once you've been through them once. Co-op can be somewhat confusing your first couple times.

    All this said, the combat in this game is tight, the bosses are varied and interesting, it nails the oppressive atmosphere many survival horror games fail to create, the root-chalices ensure you're rewarded for putting effort into the game, much of the game's story is told through visuals, each area's design and atmosphere work well together, and the game is incredible at creating tension. It's the best 3D action-adventure game I've played and is not too far off Link to the Past in quality.

    If you're looking through reviews to figure out if the game will be too difficult for you, you shouldn't worry too much. The game is pretty easy once you've gotten the hang of it (aside from some chalice dungeons) and the creators of the game intend for the player to struggle. The bosses are difficult so you feel better when you succeed. Play aggressive and learn the rhythm of the game's battles and you're in for a great time.    … Expand

The soundtrack is amazing especially in the first boss where you put the hair of tip and the battle becomes more epic. The graphics are fine. The biggest mistake I can find the video game is the fall of fps in some areas (especially in the area where there are many fires lit). Also what annoys me more is not the game but the community that presumes that it is exclusive of the playstation 4 when they do not even buy it and they are not interested.

The lack of a shield in this game is what makes the combat superior than Dark Souls, There is a shield but it's terrible. I also see there are many bad reviews from this game and I feel as if a lot of people couldn't get passed the first mandatory boss, Father Gascoigne. He's no pushover. Once I finally passed him after the 100th time the rest of the game went pretty smoothly. The fact that the weapons can switch into new weapons is awesome, especially since they can be integrated into combos. I do not wish to speak much about the game since I don't want to spoil things for people but I have one thing to say about the first mandatory boss, Don't Give Up! He's not as hard as he seems, it's just your average difficulty spike.… Expand

    It is brutally tough to a newcomer to the Souls-type games, and I nearly gave up early on. I have never been more glad that I pushed through a boss battle.

The gothic world, the multi-faceted story, the rich combat system, the music, the level design, the horror elements, the RPG elements, the weapons, the boss designs, the atmosphere...everything is top notch. This is a game that has insurmountable effort poured into its production and I really don't think I can fault it. It's perhaps a little alienating to new fans, but this is true throughout all of From Software's games - the rewards within far outweigh the learning curve, and once you're comfortable, you're engrossed. I spent so much time reading up extra bits of lore in this game, and it occupied so much of my free time even outside playtime - a mark of a fantastic game.

    Of course, this game comes with the Souls series seal of approval in the challenge section but to be honest, this game is much more manageable than Dark Souls 1 and 3 in the respect that I think there are no unfair bosses. I managed to defeat every single boss (main game, DLC and optional), perhaps after many attempts, but always managed. It nails the "tough but fair" epithet. Some bosses are BRUTAL, and not necessarily all at the end. There's always a chance to strengthen yourself, learn the enemies' patterns, and come back victorious to feel pure ecstasy when you overcome a once-impossible task.

    I cannot recommend this game enough, and cannot overstate how much more there is to it than meets the eye. Small character side-quests provide emotion, extra boss fights provide more backstory, more level areas provide environmental expansion, and the entire package comes in a tight, bloodied, black gothic bow. The most complete videogame experience I've had this generation, mostly thanks to the astounding DLC - this is how you do additional content for games. The DLC rounds of the deep lore of the series so nicely and is essential to play, hosting 3 of the best bosses in the entire game.
