    Where to start? I played this and loved everything about it immediately. As a gamer since 5 it really showed me just how bad I am at video games and it made me want to be a better gamer. It would be amazing to see this come to PC after so many years to let those stubborn players who do not want to fork out for a PS4/5 experience this.
    Thank you for reading. Enjoy Gaming.

    My only critique is, that I can't experience this game for the first time again! I've been gaming since the NES, but this was the one that changed games for me FOREVER.

    This game is special i could talk about just the weapons for atleast hours. But everything else, world building, lore, gameplay is near perfect. I love the dark and scary vibe from this game. The dlc is BY FAR the best content FromSoft has made thus far and I was left wanting more.

    best soulsborne sekiro elden ring game ever for me, this was my first from software game and i got aproached to it because of the goth aesthetic and the agressive combat, a must play and hopefully we get a pc port and a ps5 remaster

    In the beginning the game was just confusing, it was so hard to get through bosses, areas and it was so annoying to farm blood vials everytime i used them. But after so many deaths you understand everything, how to progress by yourself and how to play, and then the game becomes a masterpiece, the art design is unreal, music is great, areas are so well desing and how every zone isIn the beginning the game was just confusing, it was so hard to get through bosses, areas and it was so annoying to farm blood vials everytime i used them.

    Has almost all the Pros of darksouls and the unique things about it are for the most part great
    Sadly there aren't a lot of weapons and being able to run out of healing items instead of just getting them back after dying kinda sucked
    I just can't give it the same Rating as its siblings because of these short comings But this game is really close to a 10

    My all-time favorite game, it is a near-perfect complete package. It's fast paced savage combat, its haunting and grim settings, its themes of unknowable cosmic forces, its serene and majestic soundtrack, its intricate level design... the game has it all. It ranks among the best of fromsoft's catalogue for a reason, and literally changed my life.

    The setting and style of this game is immaculate. It’s still a souls like game but for me it’s my favourite that include Elden ring as well I like how it was somewhat linear but still gives opportunity to explore. The music is also sensational and when you kill a boss with the orchestra blasting behind you it’s pretty phenomenal feeeling.

    Would probably have topped Dark Souls 1 for me as my favourite Fromsoftware game if not for a severe lack of replay-ability options in the lack of build, weapon and cosplaying choices.

    グラフィックは美しく、ゲームプレイとしてもアクション性はクオリティが高いかもしれませんが、難易度だけでなく、世界観で人を選ぶ作品です。
    芸術性としてのグロテスクさは上手くまとまっている半面、妊娠中の人間への殺傷や、死産、大量の血の流出といった、生理的に嫌悪する人が多いであろう描写・テーマが多数扱われています。    グラフィックは美しく、ゲームプレイとしてもアクション性はクオリティが高いかもしれませんが、難易度だけでなく、世界観で人を選ぶ作品です。

    One of if not the best souls-like game, Bloodborne offers an incredible setting with expectedly fluid and dynamic combat. The biggest problem with Bloodborne is that it is still stuck on the PS4.

    Brutally difficult, victorian & gothic horror/action/adventure with the most mysterious story of any game I have ever played. The graphics STILL look great 8 years later. It's simultaneously terrifying and enthralling. 500+ hours later I still have questions about what's actually going on...

    I played this game only for 1 hour and I couldn't keep playing it because of the difficulty level it provides.

    Honestly the difficulty level as a general parameter in a video game, is a real BALANCE that should be set very carefully by the developers.

    However that I believe in "taste of gaming" which is different for anyone.
    I have many good friends that actually LOVE this game and especially the difficulty of it.
    And I won't blame it one them that why you like it?! Because I believe in "personal taste of gaming".
    It's just not my style, I don't like games that are this hard...
    But it doesn't mean that no one else should love it too!

    The game is very great in terms of art, graphics, gameplay, mechanisms, level design, story...

    But I think that it's not balanced in terms of difficulty when you compare it to all other balanced games.

    And the fact is that "Souls" series fans like this kind of hardness! They're fan of this difficulty.

    So the game is even successful in finding buyers! Which is the final goal of every game and every product.

    I respect it, I respect those who love it, you won't have to regret if you love it.
    But it's not the taste of game that I can keep playing!

    It's not balanced in difficulty and its fans exactly like this unbalanced difficulty!
    But I don't like it and I won't waste my time playing a game that its difficulty should be balanced to match with other games...    … Expand

    Yes, the game is challenging and has no easy mode. But the game allows less skilled players to farm and upgrade weapons and attributes, in a way that even a very casual player such as myself can enjoy very much the experience. It has become one of my favorite games of all times.    … Expand

This game has a marvelous atmosphere, which has not been duplicated sense, with Lovecraft spilling out of every corner. The combat is also extremely thrilling, with the game, focusing on making the character faster, all of the combat becomes more fast-paced. This adds a layer of complexity, that allows people to get into and out of combat quickly, while maximizing damage output, as well as using the revenge sort of system, which brings back health for every time you hit an enemy. Bosses as usual, from Fromsoft are also spectacular, and are incredibly thrilling. Weapons are also incredibly varied, with the pistols offering up a fantastic function of perrying.

    Now when it comes to the negatives, there are a few. Having to farm blood vials is an extreme hindrance to the enjoyment of the game, with me having to multiple times go back and farm for around 15 to 20 minutes to make sure I have enough blood vials. The difficulty also might be a bit much for some people, which will definitely hamper peoples enjoyment of the game, however this is a souls game, and when you get it you should expect that.

    Overall, an incredible adventure, which stands out in the realm of souls like games.    … Expand
