Bloodborne

Those chalice dungeons to get to Queen Yharnam changed the way I played. Truly one of the most challenging exp I've encountered to date. I still get a faint hint of rage at the thought of Cursed and Defiled Amygdala.

Worth it though, now I'm just a blood drunk hunter killing others in the nightmares. Which feels like a full circle from seeing Father Gas. the first time and putting him out of his misery, to now roaming the nightmare myself, hunting my brothers and sisters and waiting to be put down...

Because when you’re going to the place you see some weird looking tree and stop to inspect it. And then you see something strange in the distance and you start going towards that. And then you see a shrine so you detour over to collect that. And before you know it you’re halfway across the map from wherever you were originally planning to go.

In the six years since that game was released I have never found a game that successfully replicated this “keep getting distracted by things you see in the distance” gameplay loop. Closest was Elden Ring.
