Still, it's not exactly the same as the Dark or Demon's Souls games. There are differences -- and these differences are significant. Bloodborne pushes the pace of the action in a way the Souls games never did -- when you lose health in Bloodborne, the health bar stays full for a moment, and you have a brief opportunity to regain some (or all) of it by pressing the attack. If you don't attack inside 3ish seconds or if you get hit again you'll lose that health, and the best way to get it back will be via Blood Vials (there are other ways, but Blood Vials are the primary method).That's just a slice of his in-depth and thoughtful review of a game that does nothing but destroy your soul (in my humble opinion).
This changes how you approach combat in the game. The risk/reward scenario is different -- health lost isn't gone for good, so taking damage isn't cause for concern. There are absolutely bosses where (provided you aren't staggered for too long) taking a hit to get in close to them is better than hanging back and waiting for an opportunity to strike that might not come.
It's dark, it's deadly and it promises to be the most brutal experience on PS4. Bloodborne is here, and it's going to mess you up.Check it out below. Bloodborne is scheduled for launch in February 2015 for PlayStation 4.
Bloodborne is developed by From Software and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is being directed by Demon's Souls and Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki, bringing a murky, brutal twist to the familiar Dark Souls gameplay.
