From Software and Sony's Japan Studio teamed up to release Demon's Souls as a PlayStation 3 exclusive back in 2009. They might not have guessed it at the

Comprehensive combat options for the pro-active player; Plenty to uncover through thorough exploration; Great enemy and boss design; Cohesive world

Story is cryptic and vague; Long load times

The remaining humans in Bloodborne's dead city of Yharnam think you're making a mistake to even consider this new adventure. When you talk to them, they say that there's nothing here for you, that it's a nightmare. They're incorrect on both counts.

Great variety of new weapons; Mysterious characters and artifacts excite your imagination; Captivating environments

Disappointing AI companions

Wake up from the nightmare When Bloodborne launched, I provided a series of tips for newcomers . They're still very much relevant for the dawn of the Old Hunters DLC pack , which debuts today, but I figured I'd provide a few add-on specific pieces of info.

Kept on freezing , never get to play it. Have to return it.

One of the best action games of the generation and a stunning achievement in terms of gameplay, art design, and encouraging players to push themselves beyond their limits.

Superb combat system is elegantly simple and hugely versatile; Amazing world design and wonderfully disgusting enemies; Great online features and role-playing elements

Long load times can be hugely frustrating; Some minor frame rate problems, and the Chalice Dungeons need some tweaking and bug-fixing

graphics very good; lots of different monsters to kill; very difficult

re-spawn once you die

You probably understand the pedigree of this game so I don't need to go into details; its like the other 'Souls games but better. A pretty and frightening challenge that plunges you into a fantasy vision of Victorian London viewed through a Lovecraftian lens.

The first time playing any of the souls games (from software) was frustrating, quite difficult at times but brought a feeling of great satisfaction every time you defeated what seemed like an unbeatable boss. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes a challenge. Great game overall.

I bought this game a month ago and am thoroughly enjoying it. The visuals are incredible and transport you into a macabre world of challenging gameplay, this is not an easy game so can get frustrating but if you have the patience and want your money's worth from a game rather than finishing it in a...

I'd say this game is just as difficult as Dark Souls but very rewarding when you go through the levels. I like the realism and how this game tests you. Don't give up on it as it gets better when you progress through each level, a little bit of perseverance goes a long way.
