Review Quotes

"The story alone makes this a worthwhile acquisition, but the sheer amount of behind-the-scenes extras makes it a must for any lover of Bloodborne in particular or horror games in general." Kara Dennison

"For fans of Bloodborne, the Deluxe Edition isn't just another comic, but a keepsake: a grim, gorgeous artifact that extends the life of one of gaming's greatest Gothic stories." Rely on Horror

"The artwork brings in the historicity of Lovecraft and Washington Irving. The horror is at the bloody violent level of The Nightmare on Elm Street. And that change of reference between the waking world and the real world is reminiscent of the cinematography of Awake." BORG

"This really is a premium, indulgent way to consume a comic book, and it's something we're proud to have on our shelves." GameSpew
