Customer Ratings & Reviews

Weird coming into this game from the Souls games - you need to give yourself some time to adjust to the more action-oriented approach. But it scratches that itch perfectly. It's simplified from Souls without feeling dumbed-down.

if you have played any of the Demon Souls or Dark Souls then you know what you're getting with this game. Hardcore challenges and fun tight mechanics. Best time I had with the Ps4

This game features a steep learning curve, but eventually opens itself up to present a beautiful, atmospheric world filled with challenges that richly reward the player's perseverance. Any PS4 owner should seriously consider this gem.

Let me preface this by saying that although I love playing video games, I am by no means a hard core, all or nothing gamer. I play my games when I can and love playing different types of games. Which is why I chose Bloodborne, because it was different. I read reviews where it was said to be one of the best games of 2015 and it might very well be...I personally will never know. When I started this game I was very confused...there isn't much of an intro and you are kind of just thrown into it. I now realize that this is a sort of extension or part of the Dark Souls series and maybe that's why I had problems. I started playing and believe it or not I spent about 8 hours trying to get to the first boss, which i never did manage to get to. The problem I find is that in this first "level" there are no save points and the game does not auto-save at certain locations. So after going through a section and killing dozens of enemies, if you die you go all the way back to the very beginning! Most games would start you at a mid point that it auto-saves so that you can progress and keep going. Not this game. I played time and time again, death after death and really didn't progress for 8 hours! Yes each time I would get a little further but ultimately I would die and start all the way back at the beginning. I did some research online and found that I was not alone, that many, many people would spend 6+ hours just trying to get through this first "level". That to me is insane! I can usually finish an entire game in about 8 hours, but 8 hours on ONE level!!! I hate to quit games, I really do, I think I have only quit one game before this but I just could not go on because it was just getting me mad each time. Aside from that, the game graphics are beautiful, the weapons (the limited ones i used) were cool, and the controls were very smooth. I am the type of gamer that likes challenging games but also likes it to be fun. I like playing because it's an escape from everyday life, and the last thing I want is to play a game that instead of being fun, is making me hate it and getting me mad. I ended up trading this game in for credit to buy another game.

This game I LOVE this game its AMAZING WOW WOW WEEEE why did i wait so long to get this game its AMAZING i get lost in the beautiful gothic world the gameplay just WOW GET IT NOW PLZ love urself and buy this game for urself

An incredible game with the perfect amount of challenge

This game isn't for everyone but if you haven't messed with the previous souls games then I would borrow it first. You will die a lot, you're supposed to. But it is rewarding and you feel satisfying to get through certain sections. Be aware load times are long and you can't map the buttons.

This is one of the hardest fakes I’ve every played. Thus is a Sony original game and the game is so hard that I died in the first 5 minutes of the game. I look forward to playing this in the future m.

Get used to being told "You Died". Once you make peace with that then you get to experience one of the most engaging and challenging games of the year. My favorite so far. 100% worth your time and it will hold a candle to witcher 3.

Bloodborne is what you would expect from a souls game. It is equally difficult and rewarding. Surprisingly, the game works very well without being able to use a shield and provides a dark and engrossing environment that pulls you in.

I bought my PS4 when I did mainly for this masterpiece and I was not left disappointed. This game is an instant classic. Great mechanics, gameplay, and graphics make for an almost flawless gaming experience. Thoroughly enjoy it.

This is by far one of the most challenging games I've played. I've managed to defeat 4 bosses so far. I've died and had to replay areas multiple times, but despite the frustration I still come back to this game.

I was getting tired of purchasing 60$ games and playing for a few hours. I have been playing this game for a few months and haven't finished it yet. It has beautiful graphics and I love the dark tone of the game.

I love this game so far! I’ve probably played about 7 hours or so by now and the gameplay, despite being EXTROIDINARILY difficult, is really fun.

Bloodborne is a great way to deep your hands into Dark Souls territory and specific gameplay mechanics, it's not as brutal as the Souls series but still challenge enough for the more casual player to enjoy.

Not even worth an extensive long review. This is the best game I have ever played exclusively on the ps4. It is more offensive based than defensive based like dark souls.

Bloodborne is an incredible game brought to you by From Software and Hidetaka Miyazaki, the creators of the Souls games: Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2. This game will test your skill and determination. You will encounter traps, enemy ambushes and incredible boss monsters. You will die. A lot. Over and over again. Stick with it though and you will feel yourself improving at the game. The graphics on the PS4 are incredible. Level and enemy design is something of nightmares. Bloodborne is an incredible experience and one every PS4 owner should try. Bloodborne just might be my Game of the Year pick for 2015.

I have never played a Dark Souls game before, but heard how great Bloodborne was. It was very frustrating in the beginning, when enemies hit you very hard. But after leveling up, bosses are easier when you come up with a strategy.

BloodBorne is a fantastic game and very challenging. I was told to leave the game running for 12 hrs and it would dumb down the bosses. I will be trying that trick to get through this without breaking my controller. Graphics are top notch! Really shows off the PS4 power.

An extremely well-crafted and engaging gothic horror action-RPG. Another "Souls" game from From Software, though not in name, it's just as good as Dark Souls and Demon's Souls, if not better. Extremely difficult, extremely rewarding, and oozing with atmosphere. Lots of content, lots of secrets, multiple endings, randomized dungeons called "Chalice Dungeons", etc, etc. There are a few annoyances, such as having to restock Blood Vials occasionally, or the rare fight or area that's difficult AND feels unfair (a rarity since it's usually difficult but fair). Also, the randomized Chalice Dungeons can get confusing to navigate at times. Overall though, this is an excellent game, and well worth playing if you're up for a challenge.
