Unfortunately, the game was disappointing rather than fallen. This is primarily because, in my view simply tactical depth was removed from the game by, for example, although can still carry a sign, but this no longer is ultimately really fit. For carry signs to block attacks, is simply no longer provided.
So runs every fight, especially the boss battles, from the very same for quasi scheme. Roll, roll, roll, beat, roll, roll, roll, beat. In the long run simply tiring for me.
The predecessors could adapt to opponents and nimbly move like a feather (and carry light equipment) or was hard, immobile, was for quasi block most attacks. In general, the skill system was extensive. The weight of the equipment played a major role in the play behavior of the character.
You could vote his character in his own way of playing in the final analysis. This is no longer now. A change is required for people who have put on elementary signs at the Souls titles in the fighting.
Even if one wanted to go a new way and therefore consequently carries the game no "Souls" but "Blood" in the name, I do not understand why you whole, does not make the game, although easier when it comes to fighting as such, because one the Roles must timen perfectly in boss battles just to not ever to die, but still rausnimmt much depth in terms of spec, when it comes to tactics.
Forcing the player to a clear direction, as he has to play. That's why I personally would not even occur to them that game to be called "RPG". It's not that simply. Even the predecessors had with classic RPG nothing on hat. And Bloodborne even less.
Of course there are also positive things to report.
Graphically it is quite pretty (but far from outstanding, fande Lords of the Fallen nice).
The gloomy atmosphere I liked since Demons Souls, and she is Thank God remained.
Complete German Synchro, which was not the case in the Souls titles.
And who can live with my criticism above or so has been acting in the predecessors, which it is also playful fully satisfied.
Overall I give therefore only 3 stars. While it has a certain class, if only because the predecessor were superior (DS 2 clip I there times a little). But for me personally was a lot of broken, as described above by me.
