__souls-like__ 1 hit bosses, healing items, stamina and dodge combat, character progression
I also include "action-souls" that are more casual.

+ Code Vein (fun and challenging without bot. Afaik coop is broken)
+ The Surge 1 (really fun action-souls with unique looting. Vibe is barely but positive)
+ Jedi Fallen Order (DON'T upgrade dodge! srsly! action-souls, fun. There's mod for beard)
+ Nioh (engaging gameplay. Story not original (mostly history remix), but captivates)
~ Hellpoint (clunky and headache, but offers fun. Tho how to even start DLC :l )
~ Mortal Shell (low budget-short, but worth to check)
~ The Surge 2 (combat is nice action-souls. But vibe is chaotic, gear is chore and bosses are lame)
- Sekiro (tedious and slow. Feels like a chore.)
- Dark Souls 1 (clunky. Idk, for me it's just too rough to enjoy. You instantly became connoisseur.)
~ Lords of the Fallen (2014) (it's action-souls. It's fun, but not hardcore soulslike)

__story recommended__
+ Vampyr (just great. Difficulty spoiler: abstinent morality will make game hard- recommended)
+ Mars War Logs (souls-like? Rough, but vibe. Tho ending bit rushed.)
~ Technomancer (souls-like? not terrible, but... some story feels weak. Combat feels ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. But check it.)

__coop__
+ Remnant from the Ashes (fun, challenging fps. Listening to story is morbid, but lore is okeish. Also enjoyable solo)

__coop souls-FirstPeronPerspective__
+ Vermintide 2 (fun characters, chaotic, but thus replayable.)
~ Vermintide 1 (fells limited, but thus tense)
~ Darktide (fun for a short time, but underdeveloped)

__non-sort__
god of war 1 (great)
tails of iron (annoying, but interesting)
blasphemous (hard af, but interesting)
bound by flame (too dated, meh)
remnant 2 (didn't played. only for coop, because boring?)
