    The best souls game ever made. Here we see the best of Miyasaky’s team. Combat, lore, desing, everything just perfect. I hope Sony comes up with a enhanced version on PS5

    Almost perfect. Buy it already! Bloodborne is one of the main reasons I bought a PS4. BB is very difficult, especially if you want to Platinum the game. This was the first game I played where I desperately wanted to get good because I loved so much about the game and after hours of practice this was my first Platinum. The gameplay is challenging but addicting.

    There are few cons to this game but one is the graphics on a plain PS4. One particular area/room absolutely CHUGS so if you're picky about FPS that's something you should know before buying. Another con is how stingy it is with regards to story. It's like any Dark Souls game in that respect- the story is great but it leaves you wanting more and wondering.

    Overall one of my favorite games I've ever played.    … Expand

Con la dificultad característica de este tipo de juegos, he tardado 25 horas (contando el DLC) en pasármelo, una duración perfecta para mi gusto. Lo he jugado con doblaje en inglés, que es sobresaliente, ya que en español me sacaba un poco de la inmersión. From Software consiguió con este RPG de acción acelerar el ritmo de juego al eliminar los escudos característicos de la saga y haciendo un combate mucho más frenético, satisfactorio y divertido de jugar. El diseño de niveles también es de los mejores que he visto en un videojuego. A la perfecta jugabilidad se le añaden unos enemigos variados y con vistosos y extravagantes animaciones y diseños. Estos diseños acompañan al excelso arte del que hace gala el juego, siendo tan grotesco y oscuro que consigue ser precioso. Además, la ambientación victoriana y la mitología de Lovecraft de la que se inspira el juego evocan en el jugador un aura que no había sentido nunca jugando un videojuego. El lore no se queda atrás, siendo para mi por lejos el mejor de la saga (aunque igual de difícil de comprender sin mirar vídeos) y con una construcción compleja, muy interesante y repleta de secretos fascinantes. Debo mencionar también los brillantes efectos de sonido y sobre todo la maravillosa banda sonora que posee, consiguiendo a veces sobreponerse a los propios enfrentamientos contra jefes. Hay que destacar el contenido de la expansión, para mi al mismo nivel que el propio juego o en ocasiones incluso superior. Como sutiles pegas puedo mencionar algún tirón de fps en zonas demandantes y los pocos incentivos que hay para jugar el contenido opcional de las mazmorras del cáliz. En conclusión, Bloodborne es una auténtica obra de arte y se ha convertido en uno de mis juegos favoritos. Lo recomiendo a todo el mundo. 9,9/10

    My main issue with the game though is the lack of storyline and the randomness of the drops/loot...its impossible to know what most of that stuff is without resorting to looking it up in forums on the internet...to me that's poor gameplay. The graphics are good though, and the atmosphere is excellent.
    I read that people found it difficult...I didn't think it was particularly, and once I'd got to around 25 vitality and strength, it was remarkably easy with the hunter axe I thought, especially some of the bosses (Rom, Paarl, Ebrietus, Mergo and Moon presence were especially simple). I did like father Gascoigne, Gehrman and Logarius on top of Cainhurst Castle though.
    Having finished the game and been presented with a NG+, after finishing all the way though to Vicar Amelia again, I gave up...i found it too tedious to go all the way through again. In fact I found much of the game pretty tedious from the outset...mostly due to lack of information to keep me engaged, as as noted earlier the distinct lack of story was a major shortfall I thought.
    Worth a look, especially now that its a cheap buy, but certainly not a classic for me, as many found it.    … Expand

    BLOODBORNE is a masterpiece of video game narrative. Nothing else even comes close. The story is brutal, challenging, bold, and almost never "fun". It is harrowing, forcing the player to confront violence in a way video games never do. In a medium where everything is John Wick, BLOODBORNE is Schindler's List.

    And just like that film, there were times when I wasn't sure I could keep going. It is a relentless emotional assault that I suspect will force even the most jaded gamer to feel empathy. The game is a work of art - every aspect feels crafted at the highest level. Visuals, audio, controls, animation, level design, performance. It is astounding. And frequently beautiful.

    With moments you NEVER find in video games. But I cannot overstate how harrowing it is. It feels like 2 seasons of the darkest TV show you'll ever find, and it frequently better than most TV on the air. That's saying a lot. I think it is an IMPORTANT game. It tore me up, and I will never, ever forget BLOODBORNE is a game that will change you.

    In short, BLOODBORNE put me through hell. I did not enjoy it. I wasn't supposed to. I was affected by it. Like no game before. I am in awe of it. I am recovering from it.    … Expand

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

    I got to say, as someone who didn't play any Souls games properly before, I was excited to play Bloodborne.
    Just like in the Dark Souls games, Bloodborne's lore is told via environmental storytelling. Environmental storytelling might not be as engaging as linear storytelling but it enriches the game's world significantly. Thankfully enough, Bloodborne's lore is compelling even if it's    I got to say, as someone who didn't play any Souls games properly before, I was excited to play Bloodborne.
    Just like in the Dark Souls games, Bloodborne's lore is told via environmental storytelling. Environmental storytelling might not be as engaging as linear storytelling but it enriches the game's world significantly. Thankfully enough, Bloodborne's lore is compelling even if it's ambiguous for the most part.
    The gameplay surprised me a lot; it's faster than I expected, it feels very satisfying, the mechanics are wonderful, there's a nice amount of unique items and the trick weapons are so goddamn badass, they're one of the coolest things in the entire game for me.
    My favorite part of the game isn't the gameplay though, it's the haunting and frightening setting; Bloodborne's world is probably the best world I've seen in a videogame. It starts out as a gothic horror and it slowly transcends into a nightmarish cosmic horror that is able to find beauty in the dark. On top of that, the level design and the music are just perfect.
    The graphics are not necessarily impressive but they're really good nonetheless.
    Also, the bosses are intimidating, challenging and rewarding.
    However, many of the bosses in the main game are somewhat easy and underwhelming in my opinion, but fortunately, the DLC makes up for it; The Old Hunters is essential to own if you enjoy playing Bloodborne because it features the best bosses in the entire game.
    Now, while the gameplay is very enjoyable, the camera and the lock-on system are awkward at times, and farming for Blood Vials can be tedious at times.

    Pros:
    + Intriguing lore
    + Aggressive & diverse gameplay
    + Superb setting
    + Threatening & challenging bosses
    + Incredible level design and music
    + Amazing DLC

    Cons:
    - Flawed camera and lock-on system
    - Blood Vial system

    Gameplay: 9/10
    Content: 9/10
    Music: 10/10
    Graphics/Audio: 8/10

    Final Rating: 9.5/10
    - Outstanding -
    Bloodborne is a fascinating videogame experience in almost every way, and I wish could play it for even longer.

    Do I recommend it?:
    Definitely, but keep in mind, the DLC is must-own in my opinion.    … Expand

    It has by far the best setting of all From Software-games, but also less variety. It feels shorter than the Souls-games. But it's not a sequel, so for what it is, it's great and perfect.

If you are bad at game you probably go insane but if you dont want to go insane git gud. There is so much bosses and all of them are unique.

    Bloodborne is the type of game that you'll either hate or love or love to hate and hate to love. 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 BloodborneBloodborne is the type of game that you'll either hate or love or love to hate and hate to love. 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 aggravate 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. Cheers.    … Expand

    but my complain is that there isn't any real defensive options there's just a dodge so it's really hard to get used to and playing it slow like the souls series won't work and the healing system is really bad in my opinion.now let's talk about map design : the map design in this game is pretty linear however some areas are connected which is really good. the lanterns are pretty well placed but the map design sadly isn't even close to dark souls 1.now lets talk about the boss fights and music : the bosses in this game are mostly really damn good and fun to fight but some of them are bullsh.t, they have broken hit boxes and get stuck lol. the music in this game is fantastic sadly not as good as dark souls 3 and 1. now the classes : the amount of classes in this game are sadly not as good or much as the souls series so it isn't as replayable as the souls series. now the pvp : the pvp in this game is ehh its alright i dont really have anything to say about it. the npc's in this game are just too good i love all of them they just feel different from the souls series and that's what makes them special.overall i give it a 8.5 out of 10. it has been reported that it's coming to pc and ps5 with a remaster in a few months so hopefully the pc players and xbox,switch players that have a pc can play it.    … Expand

    The setting is impressive, the mechanic of recovering life after you get hit is what I like the most about combat.

    To get into souls-type games I think it's the best

    The worst thing about the game is the performance is at 30fps and in other areas it is a bit of a gift, not to mention bad

    Hopefully one day a patch at 60fps a remaster or remake

The story is basically non-existent if you don't dig deep into the lore but the gameplay is so delicious and fast-paced. Bloodborne is intense action and terror through a gothic and dark world and if you like those things bloodborne will serve you well.
