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

    Review coming from a non-Souls player. This is my first and currently only one that i played. It is a masterpiece of art & design, smiling at Lovecraft. Gameplay-wise is excellent but NOT for anyone...You need to put effort and patience to master it! Story isn't given...you can speculate about very deeply. Easily one of the best, if not the best, game i ever played.

    Story and setting is interesting, but the poor framerates even on PS5 makes this unplayable for me. I get headaches after playing just 30 minutes. (happens only with Bloodborne) I firmly believe people are forgiving so much crap in Bloodborne just because it's From Software title.
    Until 60fps option, it's a 6 for me.

Compared with traditional ACT, BB is not rich in options of actions, but the combat versus strong enemies and monsters is still very very exciting. With limited options, you need to focus on the movements of you enemy, observe and think carefully, and decompose them before you can beat them. The process is definitely full of interest and challenge. Exploration is fun as well. Many NPCs, valuable side quests and props are hidden in a certain corner in the game.

    I love the dark souls series, but this elevates it even higher. The combat is so much faster than the dark souls games, and it encourages an aggressive playstyle rather than a defensive one.

    Bloodborne is my favorite game but it has 3 serious faults: The first is the video camera operated with the ass, the second are the hunters as they have infinite bullets and stamina and are of level much higher than yours, the third is that the enemies you can hit through the objects for the rest is very beautiful.

    Just for heads up, I finished all Dark Souls and Elden Ring.

    That said, I want to talk about Bloodborne. Over the years the Souls franchise has grown on me with each of its main games having a different gameplay objective. In Dark Souls 1 you have the constant feeling of finally overcoming yourself playing a difficult game, exploring a scary world (after all, at any moment you can die and lose everything, scary in that sense). The exploration is immense, insane, farming in this game is just SOMETHING.

    In Dark Souls 2, you take everything I've said, and put a melancholy setting à la Berserk, with incredible mechanics, weapons, builds, spells and everything else varied than in Dark Souls 1, there are indeed disadvantages such as movement, but that adjusts as you play.

    In Dark Souls 3 they managed to reach the absolute level of all three games, perfection from start to finish, Hidetaka Miyazaki's magnum opus. Dark Souls 3 refuses to die, it has cutscenes, enemies, BOSSES, and an importance to the world of games that I can't imagine anything even like it; perhaps in terms of importance we can mention the Halo franchise.

    In Elden Ring they managed to go above and beyond, everything from the voice acting to the open world, the first and the last boss, Elden Ring went beyond everyone's expectations, a singleplayer game whose fame is the envy of Western developers, who in their arrogance and idiocy cannot understand the magnitude of this masterpiece, a replay factor maybe as big as Dark Souls 1, I could spend hours talking about this game.

    So, we go back to 2014 with Bloodborne, a game built on top of some bad choices that keep it stuck at 30 frames until today. Its style and setting, along with its sad story and depressing endings, have made Bloodborne the game for many. The question here is: Where exactly does it fit into Miyazaki's games? The answer is: Nowhere. Bloodborne is unique, it's visceral, yet... What I see in Bloodborne is that its bosses don't have much emotional appeal (you remember Artorias, right?). Its health item farming system is a bit degraded for those coming from other Miyazaki games, in addition to being extremely easy to break the game's difficulty (I didn't do that, but everyone knows c*mmmfpk-style dungeons).
    Its parry system is insane but confusing, you don't know which enemies you can parry, but you know you can, which ends up causing most people to just fire a thousand times until the timing is right.

    Bloodblorne's lore is as impeccable as ever, following a sad but engaging plot, although to know it you'll probably have to watch videos and thus better understand what you're doing in the next gameplay only. Gehrman is a great final boss, yet things like his theme music and steep setting make his level drop in comparison (Nashandra, Soul of Cinder, Radagon...)

    In summary, I believe that Bloodborne is a solid 7, with its highs above its lows, but always a solid 7 that would certainly have been more successful if ported to other platforms like PC and Xbox (On Xbox it could be running at 60 Frames, as it happened with Dark Souls 3).    … Expand

    Bloodborne hace un trabajo increíble a nivel jugable. Un gran sistema de combate, un bien desarrollado tinte de RPG, un buen sistema de "puntos" y de niveles, una abrumadora cantidad de objetos que podemos utilizar. Todo envuelto en una dificultad abrasadora.

    Y lo de la dificultad es serio. El juego te castiga una y otra y otra vez, llegando a ser injusto en varias ocasiones. No obstante, FromSoftware ha logrado que dicha dificultad haga del juego aún más adictivo.
    Los Bosses hacen su trabajo y nos estancan por varios intentos, aunque siendo justos, varios jefes de la recta final son sencillos comparados con jefes del inicio.

    Como punto negativo a recalcar: el 80% del tiempo la dificultad no está en el Boss/enemigo/área sino en la horrible dirección de cámara. Leí por ahí que es intencional pero yo no me lo creo, me suena a una equivocación de optimización que decidieron nunca arreglar.

    La historia... muy a interpretación personal.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So after about 32 hours (I don't think PS shows it) and level 100, I finished the main game and DLC and it happened again. Fromsoftware made a terrific game. I had a lot of fun with the game, but also a few moments that made me feel a little "desperate". However, the game keeps pulling you under its spell and it's worth sticking to it!

    Atmosphere / graphics

    I really like the art style of the game. Bloodborne sometimes has extremely disgusting, disgusting pictures, but they are appropriate and contain a strange aesthetic, that's phenomenal in terms of setting and design, as well as the world building. Everything fits organically into the look of the game world and especially with many bosses there are real highlights of the look and the presentation (e.g. Vicar Amelia, placenta shrimp swingers from Kos, Ludwig, Amme etc.). The incredibly different creativity in the design of opponents is also astonishing. The developers were allowed to let off steam here, which I thought was great.

    It's just a really cool look. The music is chosen so great again (e.g. during the clock tower fight with Maria).

    In terms of performance, it was always a bit rough, which I thought was a bit of a shame, but it wasn't a big deal. On the other hand, at the beginning I even had a few glitches of despawning loot or loot that was floating out of reach in the air and the game even crashed once. Not a big deal either, but I never had it with Dark Souls.

    I found the Hain as a hub nice and felt right at home.

    story

    That the whole thing happens in this long night or in the hunter's dream, I find it cool, I like that very much. You really have the feeling that you have a task and that you have completed it step by step in order to escape it all. Otherwise it remains that it is told in a more cryptic way. Occasionally one finds such hints that lorries give out or items or even NPCS give you nibbles about the story over and over again.

    Unfortunately, I didn't manage to complete a single side quest in Bloodborne either, I just can't do it in the first round of the game. I can hardly criticize that because it would work, but it is somehow unsatisfactory not to get this NPC quest done.

    Gameplay

    You know it: the heart of the Soulsborn games and that is especially true of Bloodborne. The dynamics in combat gameplay are just amazing. I used R1 + L1 combo as an example so often and so gladly. This dynamic change between 1h and 2h was so much fun. Especially that you are invited to try out the different weapons to see the combo gameplay, terrific.

    The firearm and the integrated parry system have also turned out to be a sensible alternative to the shields in Dark Souls and, admittedly, this made parrying a bit too easy. I almost finished the final boss with my fists and parry, that says it all.

    Most of the boss fights in the main game were too easy for me. There was more appearance than reality. But the ways to bosses or just individual trash mobs were really crisp. The girl band brains are my absolute hate opponent in all soul titles to date, terrible. The DLC comes up trumps again, because here the bosses are of a completely different caliber and here too the DLC is introduced with exactly the right boss. This immediately shows the difficulty of the DLC and teaches you respect. That's how it has to be for me with soul titles.

    There were a few things I didn't like that much. On the one hand the beacons. I was a little annoyed that you always had to go back to the grove, because the loading screens could be a bit long at times. I would have liked more direct travel routes. On the other hand, I found it cool that you couldn't simply re-spawn your opponents and that you could repeat your life by sitting down for a moment, which made it a little more difficult.

    The blood vials were a kind of love-hate relationship, on the one hand they made the game more difficult than the Estus, because sometimes you had to deal with things tactically, on the other hand, the Estus somehow had more flair for me. Estus could be upgraded, etc. You were always really happy about it, you just noticed the vials and made sure you weren't wasting too many.

    The sidesteps weren't my thing either and unfortunately I didn't manage to switch properly between lock on (steps) and lock off (roles). I just like the role better. In the end I found this Lifesteal mechanic in and of itself really awesome, because you can be rewarded for aggressive gameplay, especially with trash mobs, and it also feels very good. In bossfights, however, I never really managed to get a satisfactory return from the risk I had taken. Maybe it's not really intended for boss fights, but I would have liked to have used this feature more aggressively there.

    The weapons and armor are really cool and fit well into the game (I had a saw ax +10). When it comes to armor, I finally wish for an upgrade depth.

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.

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

    Gameplay is superb and feels very fluid. Lore is disturbingly dark and interesting. The game does not hold your hand at all which makes for a refreshing experience having to figure out how to play the game yourself.

    Miyazaki knows how to improve the formula for amazing, hard, unique and rewarding games. Bloodborne is not only a legitimate Soulsgame, it is an even more enjoyable game to play than all the rest of the Souls series. In this game you are not oppressed, but the oppressor, the hunter. The best Soulsgame is still Dark Souls, but this one is certainly the most fun.

    Game looks good. Same old repetitive combat and encounters, they never improve the inventory or user interface. You would think that a game that will have you die this much would at least get the load times down. Still, waiting for at least 30 seconds to load back into a game. Why can't they get this right?

    I played this after Elden Ring and can honestly say it's better. There is a laser focus on fight or flight, rewarding aggressive playstyle. It's lore is more appealing and less opaque. The only downside is age and that is no fault of the game itself, simply a symptom of the industry. Remastered and on PC with mods and its the greatest game ever made.

When I first started to play this game I hated it. I hated it for making me start levels all over again after dying multiple times. I hated it for its random difficulty spikes and arrogant stun locks from both enemies and bosses. I've never played the Dark Souls games so I went into Bloodborne blind.
    But after the first few days I couldn't stop playing it as it drew me in. I had to see if I could follow it through to the end. So I did just that and finished the game and obtained all 3 endings. Afterwards I thought to myself what a hell of a journey. Great locations and atmosphere with a few exceptions. Music is spot on and graphics are still decent even by today's standards.
    Gameplay is fairly tight, but also with a few exceptions. If you play the game you'll see what I mean about a few exceptions. Anyways, Bloodborne would rank in my top 10 of all time favorite games even though I hated it at first. It grows on you and once you "click" with the game mechanics and how to fight it becomes very addictive. However it doesn't rank a perfect score of 10 because no game has ever reached a 10 by my standards because that means there's no room for improvement. Bloodborne is a 9 for me regardless because there are a few issues with the game. One of which is the hitbox on enemies and bosses. It gets wonky sometimes and doesn't register. Another issue is frame drops, especially when your fighting many enemies or huge bosses. These two issues may be linked together however.  I think the most useless game mechanic is the frenzy status. This alone almost made me quit the game permanently. It's a cheap system mechanic that serves no other purpose than to agro the player at the most inconvenient of times. If your health bar isn't full it becomes an instant kill. Speaking of instant kills, this game is full of them. Some bosses and even some enemies will kill you in one shot. Not my idea of fun, but whatever. I think Bloodborne is at least worth a try to first time gamers looking for a challenge. I know that the Dark Souls community appreciates Bloodborne for what it is. As for me I'm glad that I stuck with the game even if I did find it frustrating at first.  All in all it's a game worth trying out. You never know, you may find it as addictive as I did.

    Чем больше разбираешься в игре и ее лоре, тем сильнее отвисает челюсть. Просто шедевр.

    Soulslike gameplay at its finest. One of the best game settings and lore this generation and a perfect gameplay which rewards an aggressive playstyle over just hiding behind your shield.
    The enemies and bosses are the most balanced of the genre and thei are all unique. Unlike many soulslike games, there are no crap bosses, or bulls*it bosses, almost all of them are an 7.5/10 or higher,    Soulslike gameplay at its finest.

    The ost is also beautiful, one of the best in gaming.    … Expand

    AMAZING.INCREDIBLE. FLAWLESS. MIND BREAKING. These are the words which describe the way I feel about Bloodborne. Arguably better than Dark Souls 3 and 1 (2 was never an option), Bloodborne is faster paced in terms of combat compared to the DS Series and even Demon Souls. I LOVED that change. PLAY THIS GAME NOW!!

    Personally I think this game is a masterpiece. I love all the souls-like games so I might be a little Biased but the game definitely deserves the high praises. The gameplay is smooth and fun, the graphics are good and the story is exactly like something you would expect from dark souls. I liked to read the item descriptions to actually understand more about the world and learn cool factsPersonally I think this game is a masterpiece.

The atmosphere, world-design and creature design are absolutely outstanding.… Expand

    Соулс лайк с одним из лучших и необычных сеттингов, который наполнен шикарными боссами, атмосферными локациями при этом в сочетании с быстрой и сочной боевкой, великим саундтреком, но при этом ужасной технической стороной.Соулс лайк с одним из лучших и необычных сеттингов, который наполнен шикарными боссами, атмосферными локациями при этом в сочетании с быстрой и сочной боевкой, великим саундтреком, но при этом ужасной технической стороной.

    Visually striking, nerve-shredding and a fascinating streamlining of the Souls formula. Bloodborne is an exclusive jewel in the PS4 crown and you need to own it. [June 2015, p71]
