Challenging yet engaging hours of fun

A game of mystery and horror with a Cthulhian touch, Bloodborne is a game that will definitely test your medal, patience and attention to detail all while providing lots of hours of game play and fun. Here are some pros and cons I noticed about this game: Pros: Graphics and game play are OUTSTANDING! Interactive environment online in both single and co-op gaming (after finding the right items to unlock co-op play that is!). Allowing to see what others have done or are currently doing (to an extent in the form of apparitions) and leaving helpful notes is very helpful in making the game great. Online guide that helps to better explain the world, stats and weapons along with possible builds and recommendations is very helpful. Challenging and engaging environment and AI of enemies. Though scenarios may seem the same they aren't always alike hence they can easily have a different feel every time. When playing the game you will understand what that statement means. High replay value which cannot be said for every game played. Cons: No real explanation of how stats work when creating a character. The Manual that comes within the game gives limited info on game play and no explanation on character creation, and the brief explanation given while creating a character gives little helpful information. Each individual stat has a purpose that is not explained without going online. It would have been best to at least give the basics on the disc and for elaborate information go to the website. There is no gauge on level of difficulty; only the option to play online or offline. The game is simply hard and gets harder though from what I understand prior to a recent patch the game was EXTREMELY difficult, more so than now which can be hard to believe. Though I do not personally see this point as a con, for some this may lead to frustration and putting the game down. This is dependent on you but make no mistake this game will kick your ass many times over. Personally, I enjoy this game tremendously and am still playing thorough it. I recommend this game to anyone who can handle a truly challenging game.Read full review
