A Long-Awaited Disappointment – Unplayable in Its Current State

[ErmES6]

Like many of you, I’ve been waiting for Bleach: Rebirth of Souls for a long time. I was genuinely excited — finally, a new Bleach game after years of silence. I was hyped, ready to dive into the world I love.

Unfortunately, the experience has been nothing short of a complete disappointment. The game is broken. I couldn’t even finish the tutorial. On the second step, the screen freezes on a sandy-colored frame and becomes unresponsive. Trying to return to the main menu causes the game to crash. Trying to launch any other mode? Immediate crash.

This product feels cheap, borderline a legalized scam. I’m incredibly let down. I would’ve gladly waited longer if it meant getting a game that was at least functional.

As a software engineer — not in game dev, but working on complex applications — I find it embarrassing that in 2025, we’re still seeing launches like this. Was this game even tested before release?

For context, my specs: RTX 5080, Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and an M.2 PCIe 5.0 SSD. My build is more than capable of handling a game like this. Clearly, the problem lies in the development, not the hardware.

NOTE: I’m not judging the gameplay — I didn’t even get the chance to try it. This is a criticism of launching a non-functional game. "Functional" should mean for everyone, not just for a few lucky configurations.

Just sharing some honest feedback. Enjoy the game if you're one of the lucky ones who can actually play it.

I hope this gets fixed, but as of now, I can’t recommend it.
