The more I think about it this is probably my favorite video game. It's very far from perfect, having a good amount of jank and some really weak areas in the late game. But it still manages to be such a special overall experience. The level design and atmosphere surpasses any other Soulsborne game I've played, the combat is fun and allows for so much variety, the boss roster although inconsistent has some incredible highs (Manus, Kalmeet, O&S), and it has a strong emotional element thanks to its endearing side characters and thought provoking themes. It was a bit overwhelming on my first playthrough, but upon replays it has become something of a comfort game for me. I've replayed this game 3 times now and I still have yet to get bored of it.
