In Bloodborne, things are going to be tough, you're going to die, and, most importantly, you're going to have one hell of a good time.

‎With the impeccable gameplay it would be enough to say that ‎‎ ‎‎Bloodborne ‎‎ ‎‎ ‎‎is a must-see of the current generation of consoles. That coupled with the grim story and detailed work on the art, make the game an undisputed candidate to be one of the best games that 2015 has for us.‎

From Software did it again - they have created a demanding, satisfying and superbly designed game. Some ideas are well known but the whole package feels original and unique. There are some minor issues here and there and still they don't bother the player. Bloodborne's world pulls you in with blood, new technology and a great artistic vision. A truly excellent game.

All in all, the game is exactly what Souls fans have been hoping for in this new generation of consoles. It's gorgeous, terrifying, relentless and highly addictive.

A fantastic game that holds its own against Dark Souls. A brand new setting and new gameplay mechanics add a freshness to the Souls formula. There's a lot to explore and experience including savage death. Right now, it's the best RPG of the current gen.

Bloodborne will keep you addicted for weeks if not months. Sony finally have a winner for the PlayStation 4.

Bloodborne is easily an early contender for game of the year, and it's the best PS4 exclusive to date. It captures the immensely strong design of Dark Souls and mixes it with high-intensity combat. The new setting and mechanics keep the title feeling fresh even while it retains many familiar aspects from the Souls games. Some minor problems, such as an occasionally poor frame rate, lightly tarnish the experience. Bloodborne is a must-have for any gamer who isn't afraid to die. The intense, fast-paced gameplay and grim world combine to create an experience that's both familiar and distinctive. It's time to die all over again.

Masterpiece. The title is beautiful, deep and damn addictive. Death has a new face - it is Bloodborne.

An exclusive for PS4, as Demons Souls was for PS3, and a game you must definitely play. Fans of the Souls games will feel right at home, even if they will miss having a shield available.

Do you miss From Software? If your answer is "yes", they come back with a classic. A perfect gameplay experience, gothic/crazy art design and satisfying difficulty level... Miyazaki did it again.

‎Bloodborne tests your skills as a gamer immerses you in a wonderfully terrible dead-skinned world and above all ensure that you want nothing more than to play this game. We simply can't get enough of it. Bloodborne is one for in the history books.‎

Bloodborne is a fascinating, poetic, disturbed and potentially endless journey. Annoying uploads and some other problems prevent him from getting even closer to the 10 in the report card.

With aggression as its invitation, Bloodborne invokes a calculated shift in Souls parlance. Its aim isn't necessarily a course correction, but rather a Y-axis slant into an alternative series of objectives. Sacrificed are a few degrees of personal customization, only to be replaced by a renewed sense of distress and wonder. Bloodborne's demanding novelty, even with its unrepentant focus, feels built to last.

Bloodborne is the system selling exclusive that the PS4 has been waiting for (Sorry, Infamous: Second Son; we're still cool though) and stands tall as the most accomplished game to come out of From Software's studios to date. If you dig Bloodborne then definitely go and check out From's other offerings… You won't be disappointed, even if the pace is somewhat slower (And, coincidentally, Dark Souls 2 is getting a current gen remaster sometime this month, so get on board!).

‎FromSoftware gives us another lesson in how to deliver an experience with satisfaction proportional to the frustration it makes us feel. Add a superb art direction to it and play singing.‎

It introduces enough twists to the established gameplay formula to make it feel fresh again, and will turn a sword and board turtle into a bloodthirsty, dual blade wielding madman.

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.

An invigorated spirit occupying a reassuringly recognisable body, Dark Souls' life force flows through Bloodborne's revitalised veins. Intelligent and intense, it's simply PS4's best exclusive game.
