Bloodborne is a weird one for me because most of the good things about it are also bad.

The Rally system is one of the single most brilliant things they've ever done to the point that many games adopted their own take, but in practice 90% of the time it serves as bait to get you killed in boss fights if you try to take it seriously.

It upped the pace of these games and made people learn to dodge instead of shielding to the point I can barely stand to use a shield in their other games anymore, but they massively punish you for getting hit outside the iframes of a dodge that sometimes you're safer eating a hit.

They removed upgrade dependencies from healing items only to make them consumables that most people will run out of at some point when they're still learning.

Chalices are an "easy" way to give more content, but by not making the main progression ones actually procedural it kills any replay value. And most of the exclusive bosses are really not very good.
