(Doubles as a review for Bloodborne itself, too.)
Old Hunters is definitely the finest piece of content we've gotten in the whole series. It's got loads of atmosphere in each stage, lots of weapon variety and enemy types and the level design takes a step up aswell, with the bosses.
The original bloodborne starts strong, but I think fumbles in the middle pretty hard when you start wandering around the woods forever up till Rom. Both floors of yharnam, the church, is all great, but the woods just doesn't have a really great atmosphere to it. The transition to the more haunting aspects of the setting is fantastic, but the gameplay starts taking a nosedive at that point, with bosses that become all too easy and enemies getting repetitive. The final boss is the best one From soft as made though.
