PlayStation 4 User Reviews

Personally the best,arguably one of the best games **** themes and gameplay honestly feels so good and interesting,didn’t even realized the 30fps “problem” until I read about it somewhere. Too bad it’s a Ps Exclusive.

Bloodborne 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 9.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆/𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗲: 9.1 Art Direction/𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱/𝗔𝘁𝗺𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: 9.4 𝗢𝘀t/𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲:9.1 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀/𝗗𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵:8.5 Gameplay: 9.3

a phenomenal game locations are really good the concept of a weapon inherently being 2 weapons with different movesets is what i like the most in this game. truly quality over quantity. the bosses are slightly underwhelming but pretty good overall. hunter has so much aura thats absolutely insane. good build variety imo for not having many weapons. just a really good game.

Bloodborne is a masterpiece of action RPG design, combining fast-paced combat, unforgettable bosses, and one of gaming's most atmospheric worlds. Its haunting setting, deep lore, and rewarding challenge create an experience unlike any other. A timeless classic that remains one of the greatest games ever made.

this game is really damn good just not the 10/10 best game ever people make it out to be. It stays true to the soulsgame formula really well, the atmosphere is second to none, most bosses i would say where a really good time, not all of the though, the blood vial healing system is actually HORRIBLE, they could have done that allot better, the final boss of the base game was lowkey underwhelming, i beat it in 4 tries i think. The bloodechoes system is fun and is a really big penalty to death if you have allot. The story i couldnt really grasp in my playthrough and after finding it out it really was not nearly as intriguing and masterful as people make it out to be. The runbacks are abysmal, i know its like a staple for soulsgames but IDGAF its boring repetitive and adds nothing to the game. Overall, as my first soulsgame, i had a great time and i would highly recommend it.

The coolest aesthetic of all the Souls games. A fun, balanced experience that isn't too difficult or aggravating. I think this is mostly a perfect game apart from all the side content involving Chalice Dungeons which I did not care for at all.

Fantastic game. One of the best Lovecraftian games ever made. I am still slobbering over how much flavor I love was in it!

While I don't think this game completely lives up to the hype and the 10/10 everyone made it out to be I think it was super close but got held back by some key issues. The biggest problem in this game is the 30fps, it's such an easy fix and wouldn't cost Sony any money so it's very annoying that they just don't make it 60fps, it is for sure this games biggest downside and why I didn't give this game a 9/10. Second is the healing, in Dark Souls you replenish your healing items at bonfire but in this game you can only get healing items as enemy drops and buying them with blood echoes (this games version of souls). I also think some of the early game bosses are way too hard for being early game, the hardest bosses in this game were the first boss and the last early game boss which I didn't like since I feel like the hardest bosses should be reserved for late game, even the hardest DLC boss wasn't nearly as bad as some of the early game bosses. Also the chalice dungeons were a major disappointment, the first one was really cool but after that it just got repetitive and boring. These are my only major complaints, I have a few other nitpicky ones but they aren't worth mentioning. Overall this is an amazing game, it would be as good as DS1 & 3 if it was 60fps but I guess Sony doesn't care about this game anymore which is really sad. This game has a bit of a learning curve since it's a bit different from the souls games but once you get used to it it's a blast. If you liked the Dark Souls games you will likely love Bloodborne as well.

(-1) It **** that this game is stuck to 30fps even if you're on PS5. It should take only maximum 1 or 2 weeks to uncap the fps, or limit it with 60 at least. It made my eyes hurt while playing. (-1) Some boss fights really ****, basically unfair. Like the one Amygdala (Defiled Chalice). It's practically impossible. To be honest, some of its boss fights are so fun, especially the humanoid ones. It feels like duels. And the best thing that this game does is keeping you aggressive with mild mechanics such as giving you a chance to retrieve your lost health if you attack right after you get hit. 2001 french film aesthetic and ctulhu myth mix so well together. There were 2 places itched into my mind, forbidden woods and central yharnam. Both of their designs are so so so good. I am even happy about these are archival material to this aesthetic. I was always seeing reviews like "best souls game" and I was only 1 guess why people may say that. And I was right. The thing is only in this FromSoftware game you don't rush one point to another, because mobs are so well balanced. you don't get tired fighting them. In most souls games, at the start of the game, mobs have mid-dif attacks but after a while they start to hit stupid status effects and impossible to dodge combos. This makes you run from one point to another. So whole games becomes a boss rush. This game has some bad mobs like the ones i say, but very few. Great game! Can I have more?

86/100 Arranco diciendo que disfruté mucho de Bloodborne. Me pareció un interesante desvío de la saga en gameplay e historia, y valoro mucho todos los cambios que se implementaron.Quiero agregar que me considero fan de los Soulsborne, aunque previo a este solo jugué a los tres anteriores; lo hice con mucho interés y, en el caso de Dark Souls, varias veces. Por eso voy a hablar bastante de sus antecesores cuando explique lo que pienso de este.Arrancando con lo que más me gustó: el gameplay. Dios mío, qué bienvenido que está este cambio a la forma de jugar. A Miyazaki no le tembló la mano para reinventarse y, para mí, dio en el clavo. El juego de Bloodborne es mucho más rápido y dinámico que en anteriores entregas, concentrándose más en la esquiva, el timing y el contrataque. TODAS las mecánicas soportan y funcionan alrededor de este estilo de juego. Las armas consumen menos estamina, son más rápidas y tienen dos modos, lo cual les añade versatilidad y abre el juego a algo parecido a combos. El sistema de Rally te incentiva a ser agresivo, los viales de sangre se aplican en movimiento y no te dejan expuesto, la esquiva te da varios segundos de invulnerabilidad y el clásico escudo es reemplazado por armas de fuego que se usan para hacer daño y parrys. El hecho de que todo en BB soporte este nuevo estilo de juego es admirable y, en mi opinión, el mayor logro de esta entrega. Es un tipo de juego que te hace sentir realmente como un cazador. Quizás esto pueda estar relacionado al hecho de que es el que se me hizo más fácil hasta ahora, trabándome un poco solo cerca del principio y volando por todo el resto del juego como si los enemigos fueran papel, pero eso no lo hizo menos disfrutable. Quizás sí hubiera respetado un poco más que algún jefe me la hiciera parir un toque, pero llegué al último tercio con un build muy fuerte y no me hizo pasarla peor; no sentí que estuviera haciendo trampa como cuando jugás a DS siendo mago.Otras cosas buenas: la simplificación de los stats del personaje, la eliminación del peso en los objetos y la unificación de todo en una sola tienda, así como también de un solo centro de mejora de armas. En general, el hecho de que Bloodborne tenga menos ítems es algo muy apreciable: no tenés que estar permanentemente manejando tu inventario, viendo las 700 armas, magias y armaduras que no vas a usar o moviéndote a lugares específicos para las mejoras. No tenés permanentemente 1000 opciones; refinás la que elegís y vas desde ahí. Algo que no me gustó al principio: el sistema de blood vials. Durante el primer tercio me rompió particularmente las pelotas, porque tiene el problema de Demon's Souls y DS2 de forzarte a farmear ítems de curación, lo que hace que trabarte con un jefe sea todavía más choto. La cantidad de veces que iba a Central Yharnam para matar a los dos mismos gigantes de mierda... El juego lo mitiga porque podés comprar los viales, muchos enemigos los sueltan, podés recuperar vida con ataques y los extra se te guardan y los recuperás al morir, pero aún así. De la mitad del juego en adelante no se me hizo más un problema porque, como dije, estaba bastante fuerte, pero aun así me parece inferior al sistema del DS, que es perfecto para jefes. Y los jefes de Bloodborne son buenos, pero ninguna locura. Sus diseños son interesantes y algunos tienen combates creativos, pero creo que les falta una cierta mística, y eso es porque la historia de Bloodborne nunca me terminó de quedar clara. Nunca tuve muy claro qué significaba derrotar a cada uno ni qué tan cerca estaba de mi misión final. Los mataba porque estaban en mi camino. Algunos son bastante memorables —como el Padre Gascoigne, Rom, Micolash o Mergos Wet Nurse—, pero nunca supe bien por qué los estaba matando. Además, no termino de apreciar que haya tanto jefe opcional. Solo 8 de los 17 jefes que tiene el juego son obligatorios. Hay **** 9 jefes opcionales, y dos de ellos son "el jefe final". En este playthrough me perdí 4, y eso que busqué mucho para jugar lo más posible; tenía las condiciones para jugar contra los últimos dos, pero me perdí la chance por no ir a la wiki antes, y eso me jode un poco. La historia de Bloodborne es una que hay que ir a buscar, más que en otros juegos. Es más confusa, y si bien estoy disfrutando los videos que la explican, en el mientras tanto me pasó muy por el costado. Sus personajes tampoco son muy memorables y, en general, juegan un rol muy secundario. Apenas los ves. Mi final (el final "bueno") me terminó resultando anticlimático. Para terminar: El estilo artístico es una maravilla. La mejora gráfica del salto a PS4 se nota mucho y, si bien se me hace demasiado sobrecargado a veces, sí terminé entendiendo esta estética medio Backrooms, de todo apilado artificialmente y un exceso de detalle que lleva al uncanny valley. Las texturas, los sonidos y los horrores eldritchianos derraman una originalidad difícil de equiparar. En su arte, Bloodborne es único y una bocanada de originalidad.

Actual horror of a video game. Scared to loose your souls. Using my PS5 just for this game.

fantastic game genuinely the best game ever made for the ps4 and one of the coolest exclusives ever. bloodborne is in a league of its own when it comes to vibe and combat even among the other souls games. while difficulty can make it less accessible than other titles, the grind really pays off even more so than the other souls games

Exceptionnel, l'ambiance de ce jeu est juste folle, dommage le 30 fps qui gache un peu l'exprience, mais une fois rentré dedans c'est trop incroyable

Bloodborne is my greatest game of all time. The combat is so close to perfection with nothing that I would change. A lot of other Soulslikes and even Fromsoftware games might have you explore some more and get overlevelled if you are struggling with a boss fight, where Bloodborne's philosophy is more, keep trying and improve until you win, which I like a lot. The level design is some of the best in gaming, and the way it's decorated is beautiful. Character design and sound design are both perfect too with the sound creating this almost haunted religious feel helping the atmosphere become what it is. And Fashionborne

Great game .Every fan of Souls-like games has to play this game. For beginners, you have to give it a chance; like all Souls-like games, it's difficult and frustrating at first, but it's a great game. The best souls like for me , just play! brazil gamer

Best Fromsoft game by far, the atmosphere is superb the combat is as fast and fluid as it will ever get and music just hits all of the right tones. Sure it has not the best of bosses but the dlc and all the other points more than make up for this minor mistake.

Apenas o melhor jogo já feito na história. Não existe algo melhor q Bloodborne, eu estou na saga de zerar todos os souls da from e só falta o Demon Souls, e falando sério... Bloodborne foi o melhor. Dark Souls 2 era meu favorito até jogar o Bloodborne. A atmosfera de Bloodborne, o estilo, o combate, a Lore, tudo é perfeito.

I mean, it’s just simply the greatest game ever made so there is no point to be discussed.. that Game changeed everything in the industry and the people on the industry actually say that so if you have any bad notes about it, maybe just keep it for yourself

A fantastic experience, the best game in the world, no downsides except for 30fps.

Uno de los mejores juegos de la historia, con un ambientación perfecta, buenos jefes finales, acción pura y adrenalina medida a la perfección, combinado con una jugabilidad de diez.

Bloodborne is my favorite souls game and one of my top 3 favorite games ever made. I've played through this about 10 or so times and I won't be stopping. This has everything I love about Dark souls which in a nutshell is that these games have a substantial enough of a run time to feel like a full experience while also being short and sweet enough to make you want to play through it again with a new weapon. Which is the other reason I love souls games, vast replayability with the various play styles/weapons. While it is faster paced and "harder" than the other souls games, Bloodborne balances out the difficulty with mechanics like the repost, rally, and the quick step all of which reward a more aggressive play style. The whole console exclusivity and 30fps deal was never an issue for me personally, but I do understand the very valid criticism of those things.

What to say? The best fromsoftware game, very very very good level design (not as good as dark souls but not far really), the best lore and Art direction of all fromsoftware games, the gameplay is really good but the game shines for his ambiance, it will never be matcher and its just amazing even today theres tons of things that peoples discover lorewise, by searching or sometimes just by observing, the game is full of details with tons of things to say and to analyze.

When you first start the game, you become this badass hunter who came to Yharnam to seek blood healing. But as you progress, you realize there are some weird stuff going on. Once you get familiarized with the lore and setting, Bloodborne will turn into what i believe is a historical experience.

Bloodborne é o jogo que mudou a saga souls. Existe os soulslike pré-bloodborne, mais lentos e com seu personagem estilo "tank", e há os pós-bloodborne. É um excelente game que está preso no Ps4 e por isso não é tão reconhecido quanto deveria mas, quando sua sequência ver a luz do dia então verão essa obra de arte, de resto, tema o sangue antigo, bom caçador.

Great game. Fantastic little experience with some genuinely immersive setups.

It’s a pretty good game but I was not a fan of the weapons or the lore/story. The combat was typically good for a FromSoftWare game and I adored the Lovecraftion art style/atomsphere but after about 30 hours, I had no idea what in the world was going on, story wise and the last 15 hours made no sense. I did like the final boss battle but hated the ending. It was very anticlimactic. Pretty fun game but ultimately ends up boring and a chore to get through.

La ambientación es espectacular. Fue el primer souls-like que jugué y le tengo mucho cariño, cada enemigo, cada boss me pareció increíble. El juego se ve como un desafío, pasar cada zona, morir mil veces y aprender dinámicas. Una obra de arte.

My personal favorite game of all time. The areas, the bosses, the combat system, DLC everything is just perfect

Definitely deserves it's praise! The only issue I have is the frame-rate, besides that, I love the game, bosses are kind of annoying and some of them are just stupid (in my opinion) but it's still fun and rage-worthy which I like in Fromsoftware games. I adore the soundtrack, gameplay mechanics (though I didn't really use the firearms a lot), I love the game design, sound design, I love everything about this game except the frame-rate which isn't even really an issue tbh.

El mejor souls existente Buena ambientación, buenos jefes, buena historia, buena jugabilidad y una banda sonora inolvidable, todo de éste juego es hermoso.

I enjoy playing this game a lot it’s one of the best game, if you didn’t play it give it a tray!

This level design freaked me out. This is the only reason I don’t like that game, except for farming damn heals.

Si existe un juego que personifica la pesadilla gótica hecha arte, es este. Bloodborne se desprende del escudo y la defensa estática de sus primos los Dark Souls para obligarte a abrazar una agresividad calculada en las calles de Yharnam. Aquí, el combate es una danza frenética de sangre y acero donde la mejor defensa es un contraataque rápido con tu arma de fuego o un tajo de tu arma transformable. El diseño de niveles es una clase magistral de interconectividad, creando una ciudad que se siente como un organismo vivo y retorcido que se pliega sobre sí mismo. Pero lo que realmente lo eleva es su evolución temática: lo que comienza como una cacería victoriana de hombres lobo se transforma, de forma magistral y sutil, en un horror cósmico inspirado en Lovecraft que desafía la cordura del jugador. Su única debilidad real sigue siendo técnica, con un límite de 30 imágenes por segundo que a veces se siente tosco en el hardware moderno, y unos tiempos de carga que, aunque mejorados, cortan el ritmo tras las inevitables muertes. Es una experiencia opresiva, atmosférica y mecánicamente perfecta que recompensa la audacia y castiga el miedo. Una obra maestra que te persigue mucho después de haber soltado el mando.

Simply a masterpiece in environment and gameplay. Best OST ever made. Best combat ever made. Ripping through the streets of Yharnam with your choice of trick weapon is just perfection. Just booting the game onto the menu screen gives me a rush of dopamine.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

An amazing souls-like game. My favorite one. It has some uniqueness to spur and the regions are really interesting.

Its great atmosphere and bosses are masterpieces; one of the best games I've ever played

My first soulslike from software and the combat sistem is incredible the map is beautiful and the atmosphere is so good.

One of the best Fromsoft games. They implemented a good amount of special weapons with dual abilities. The agressive combat and sometimes gambling with getting HP back after getting hit is fun. I really like that tense constant action but it still remained a bit tactical like their other games. The setting and lore is one of the best ever and if you can ignore the 30 fps the technical state is still very good, although the game is 10 years old. The thing is that you have to get through the opening area which is really frustrating but once the world opens up it gets better and you can adapt much faster to unknown situations. Most of the bosses were cool but usually not that challenging and there were a few very exhausting ones like the spider that were not fun at all, but at least the boss arenas were epic as always.

This game is insanely good. One of the best fromsoft games fs. Also the dlc is really good play it.

كانت هذي اول لعبه سولز العبها في حياتي و افصل لعبه سولز لدي ذكريات كثيره معها لقد جعلتني اشعر بالسعاده و الحزن و الفرح و الغضب انها لعبه عظيمه حقا القصه جميله و القيمبلاي ممتع جدا انها حقا افضل لعبه لعبتها في حياتي

My favourite game ever. Love boss, weapon, lore, music. Yharnam is the best city of from software.

This game is a perfection, if u like the dark universes of from softwarem its gonna be an hit for you player

This game world interconnectivity never ceases to amaze me. Very good game overall story wise. I wish there would be a bloodborn 2

No one disagrees that this game is the origin of the Souls games and the most distinctive and wonderful in terms of story or even the atmosphere, design or characters

As a fan of Soulslike games, I might be controversial but I have never understood why it is so universally acclaimed. Incredible and fascinating environments, but very repetitive and similar to each other. Few weapons and armor compared to other soulslike games and limited customization options. I have not played the DLC, but I do not consider most of the bosses in the base game to be memorable. I finished it a couple of times and it left me with nothing except confusion about why it is so loved

Perfect battle mechanic, perfect history, perfect emotions. This game is worth buying WHOLE console. But If you dont have patience and nerves, dont play!

Possbily one of the coolest yet most disturbing universes in games, Bloodborne is a FromSoft masterpiece that everyone should play at least once. The game features a unique take on the usual FromSoft combat featured in their Souls games, allowing for parrying and dashes, rewarding aggressive gameplay that a hunter should abuse. The visuals in this game are incredible, a very cohesive and unique take inspired by Lovecraftian fiction, filled with many crazy enemy and boss designs, and some incredible levels. There's one thing that takes this down for me; outside of the DLC, a lot of the bosses aren't the best, if you get the DLC, it's an easy 10. This is one you don't want spoiled for you, go play it, a hunter must hunt.

Pour ma part ce fut mon premier Soul, j’ai pris une claque, j’ai appris la souffrance et surtout après Bloodborne sa n’a plus jamais etait pareille, pour moi il a eu ce même impact que pour la génération Elden Ring, pendant longtemps pour moi c’était le jeu numéro 1 de tout les temps jusqu’à que je découvre Sekiro et son platine qui vous pousse à valider tout ce que vous avez appris de Bloodborne en passant par Dark Souls, Elden Ring etc…. Bloodborne forever ️
