This DLC pack is amazing. After finishing up most of the main game outside of the final boss (as I knew you were sent straight into NG+ after beating the game), I was left feeling underwhelmed. This game is full of highs and lows, and the base game certainly had a LOT of lows. Rom and Micolash might actually be one of the worst bosses I've ever fought in a game, and some of the areas were just a pain in the ass to get through. However, The Old Hunters LITTERALLY fixes every single one of my complaints with the base game. Whilst some of the consistency issues still apply, as Laurence is a dogshit boss and ruins the fun the cleric beast had for me, and the Living Failures is just a more buffed up and annoying celestial emissary, all of the 3 areas in this game are easily the best in the game, with the only base game areas being up for contention being central yharnam and MAYBE cathedral ward and forbidden woods, and the other 3 bosses in this game are easily among the best in the game, with Lady Maria being my personal favorite BB boss. While other DLCs aim to be an addon to the already phenomenal base games of fromsoft entries, TOH and also Ringed City I have always seen as genuinely essential to every single run I have done, as Bloodborne and to a lesser extent DS3 would suffer greatly without them. The Old Hunters overall is just a phenomenal DLC pack that I run in all of my BB playthroughs, as It never gets dull and just elevates BB as a whole considerably above other noteworthy fromsoftware games
