Stunningly atmospheric and tense from beginning to end; Refined combat makes the challenge ever more rewarding

Handful of bugs and rough edges, patches overdue, Less of an RPG emphasis than Souls; a little too streamlined

Thirty-plus years. More than three decades. That is how long I have been playing video games. During that time I have considered myself someone who likes to be challenged, someone who wants to be tested. I like being pushed to the limits of my skills and abilities.

Best game ever made!!! From Software have out done themselves. The boss fights are some of the best in the history of gaming, not to mention the psychological aspect to be agressive with the enemy. No other comes close to what has been acheieved. 10/10!!!

Bought on day 1. The environment is absolutely stunning. Amazing graphics and gameplay. This game is not for those who lack patience. Like the previous From Software titles (Demon Souls and Dark Souls/2) this game is very difficult and requires patience to learn.

Bloodborne is the successor to From Software's Demon's Souls and Dark Souls games. Bloodborne steps away from the sword and sorcery that defined those titles and instead delves into the macabre, alien, and grotesque, with aesthetic and story parallels to H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E.

Fluid, energetic and satisfying combat; Fantastic atmosphere; Beautiful environments and imaginative enemy designs; Great longevity and replay value

Long loading times; AI can be easily exploited; Some bosses are bland and uninteresting to fight; Large enemies can obscure the camera in close-range combat
