    Bloodborne takes the best of Dark Souls and builds the unrelenting gaming challenge on a prefect foundation - it will test your abilities to the max. The first true must-have exclusive for PS4 is here. [Issue#252]

    I want to keep playing, I want to discover its secrets, I want to fight every monster, try every weapon, discuss theories and explore as many of the community dungeons as possible. To put it bluntly, I want to bleed the game dry.

    FromSoftware has a unique style when creating incredibly well-designed worlds. The new offensive combat system gives a fresh start to the series, and while it is more direct in its conception, it doesn’t lose an ounce of depth.

    A dark and engaging adventure, with an excellent combat system, an ideal dose of innovation and fascinating exploration.

    Bloodborne is an incredible game; tight in its mechanics, logical in its systems, rewarding, intense, gloriously frustrating and exciting in equal measure. The PS4 has its first absolutely essential game. As if there was ever any doubt.

    In its current state, it feels like it caters too much to the twitch experts, and doesn't bend for the rest of us. A challenge that feels like a learning experience is welcome, but Bloodborne too often felt like it was kicking me in the balls and leaving me helpless to do anything about it.

Un fabuloso diseño de nivel, escenarios impactantes y preciosos como Yharnam central, una banda sonora que esta bien encajada, una nueva mecanica jugable tipo hack and slash que no tenian sus predecesores espirituales (Saga Souls) que es demasiado adictiva, el añadimiento de mazmorras que se generan aleatoriamente y muchas cosas mas hacen de este juego una obra maestra.… Expand

    Well, the words that this is just a wonderful, cosiness, deep and interesting game will not be enough. To begin with, it was with bloodborneWell, the words that this is just a wonderful, cosiness, deep and interesting game will not be enough. To begin with, it was with bloodborne that my acquaintance with souls games began. Naturally, the first hours it was very difficult to play, because of the complex gameplay, I kept taking breaks, some could last for weeks. But every time I came back. The game is primarily addictive with its style. Very balanced music, locations, enemies and NPCs. A very deep lore, which, due to its latency, made me spend hours watching videos of theories, I began to read Lovecraft. Definitely, this is one of the best games of Sony, and possibly the entire gaming industry as a whole. It is simply breathtaking.… Expand

It's marred by a few minor technical issues like loading times and framerates, but the environments and combat are so god damn enticing that you quickly forget they exist. The new mechanics are fantastic, I honestly don't know what to even complain about. Best killer app this generation so far, by far.… Expand

The only reason it gets that 9 is due to load times, which are not HORRIBLE, but just long enough to become annoying especially when you die so many times, which needs to be a part of a review, not JUST game play. When it comes to dying over and over....that is O.K. as it becomes addicting, and once you get past that first area and to the 2nd check point, the feeling of accomplishment is great. After that, it's all up hill because by then you have a better feel for the mechanics of the game. Definitely not a game for someone who blows up and wants to break stuff when they die alot, because die alot you will do.… Expand
