Professional reviews from gaming critics
Combat aside, Bloodborne is a visionary work by a visionary artist. Intense in both theme and application, it’s a gory concession to the tastes of the modern mainstream player, while maintaining the spirit and uncompromising narrative that was the hallmark of the Souls games at their finest. But this is far more consistent in that application than those games, making it From Software’s finest work to date.
Undoubtedly the most fun I’ve ever had playing a Souls-type game.It’s been a bit of a rough start for the PS4 when it comes to AAA retail exclusives. [...]
From Software arrives on the current gen scene with an action RPG in the vein of the Souls series. Has it retread too much ground or can the game stand on its own merits?
Bloodborne is a fantastic game any way you slice it. If you can deal with the odd ragequit, Bloodborne should be on any PS4 owner's must play list.
Fromsoftware does it again with a fantastic adventure in the world of Yharnam, tweaking the Dark Souls formula to one that keeps you on your toes.

A deeply atmospheric and brutal hack and slash that straddles the line between pleasure and pain.
The newest title from From Software is one you won't forget in a long time. A bloody good time in awaits you, Hunter.
Does FromSoftware's latest measure up to the high standard set by Dark Souls? Bob shares his final thoughts on this vast and challenging adventure.
Overall Bloodborne is a fantastic game and could be considered one of the best exclusives available on the PS4 so far. The gameplay will not be for everyone, with the difficulty and repetition a potential turn off, but if you are looking for a new challenge, Bloodborne is a fantastic choice. The twisted atmosphere of Yharnam, the great design of the monsters, and the fear it can instil within you is something that won’t be forgotten in a hurry. There’s a time when you realise a game will be revered and spoken of fondly years from now, and Bloodborne will be one of them.
