Bloodborne: The Old Hunters Critic Reviews

The Old Hunters is a devilishly challenging addition to an already brutal game. With its release, Bloodborne transforms into an even beastlier and more grotesque experience, and it’s better than ever—a blood diamond in the rough even in a year chalked full of incredible releases.

Just in case you’d forgotten that Bloodborne was one of the best games of the year, The Old Hunters should seal the deal and place it near the top of the list. Generously difficult, filled with hours of new story, and packed with interesting areas to explore and enemies to die to, The Old Hunters is a great addition to the game and should not be missed.

Fantastic add-on will delight all enthusiastic hunters. Lots of content, eerily beautiful new locations and especially much higher difficulty will keep you entertained for a decent period of time.

It would seem unthinkable but it’s true that the Old Hunters is even more challenging than the main game. Bosses and mobs are here to make our life much harder, but also to make us beg for even more! From Software delivers another unique experience depicted through a beautifully somber environment of which Lovecraft would be proud.

Bloodborne: The Old Hunters is a major expansion that may not be completely necessary to fully enjoy the game. Still, it adds a whole bunch of content and fills some plot holes that were left unsolved in the original game.

The Old Hunters faithfully adds to the gothic adventure of Bloodborne, and reminds you how delightfully wicked that bunch at From Software really are.

It’s such a shame that this is the only expansion that is going to hit Bloodborne. With a great attention to detail, and meaningful changes to single player, we can only wonder what other sort of innovative ideas From Software had in store for us before their plans changed. Still, The Old Hunters enables Bloodborne to go out with a bang, and a challenging one at that.

The Old Hunters has questions, has answers, and has some glorious new secrets to be uncovered. If you have already experienced Bloodborne, this add-on is absolutely essential. If you haven’t, it’s the perfect time to join the Old Hunters and journey through the streets of Yharnam and the new nightmares that follow.

It enriches the world and makes combat more exciting than ever.

Offering 6-8 hours of fresh content, The Old Hunters exemplifies DLC that actually enriches the sources rather than simply milking fans with lacklustre skins and the like.

Grueling, gruesome, but ungrudging, it expands on all that's great about the original. Marvelous.

One of the best games of 2015 gets even better. Worth buying a PS4 for.

The Old Hunters honors Bloodborne in its deepest form. The uniquely designed, eery worlds offer a great place to enjoy the awesome fighting system. You will never feel safe, but you will often feel satisfied.

The Old Hunters could not have dropped at a better time. After months of being away from Bloodborne, the game has once again wormed its way into my life, and once again, it’s all I can spend every waking moment thinking of. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have more new weapons to hunt down.

The Old Hunters is a fantastic add on the Bloodborne. It keeps you busy for at least 20 more hours. Next to that it offers a lot of new weapons, armor and enemies.

This first and only Bloodborne expansion is exactly what the DLC should be.

The Old Hunters is a great return in the universe of Bloodborne, thanks to an outstanding level design, tough boss fights and many new weapons.

In the end the Old Hunters expansion is just as an essential purchase as Bloodborne itself.

Harsh, unrelenting and imaginative, The Old Hunters is a superb gaming experience and a masterclass in DLC development.

The Old Hunters is DLC as it should be: an essential challenge that enriches the original rather than diminishing it. Being horrified has rarely felt this rewarding.
