Jedi Fallen Order, and I had no idea it was a Souls-like when I played it couple years ago.
In terms of aestetics, there's really not much similarities with Dark Souls games, but there are certain aspects that makes it a souls-like. There are bonfires (save points where you respawn if you die), shortcuts, and you can lose your XP when you die. Also, it's an action RPG with swordplay combat mechanics. That's as far as similarities go.
And due to such similarities, I'm quite enjoying the game. The level design isn't unforgiving like Dark Souls games, but it shares more similarities to Sekiro in terms of interactions with the levels. In general, this game is most similar to Sekiro due to lack of RPG elements and being more combat focused with skill upgrades.
Not only that, it also fall under Metroidvania genre due to certain skills you squire that gives you access to area you cannot access earlier on.
Therefore, the combination of being a Metroidvania, and Souls-likes makes this an interesting game. The graphics are pretty good, and art style is ok. Not on the level of FromSoft level of art, but pretty good still.
I think the main character's outfit is pretty cool. I think FromSoft can make a much better art designed star wars action rpg.
This game feels more like Zelda than Dark Souls due to the puzzles it has. So in general, it's a pretty good game worth spending time on.
When I played it long ago. I stopped because I wasn't very good, and kept getting lost in the game. Since I'm a veteran of Dark Souls/Elden Ring/Sekiro/Bloodborne, this game is a breeze now. For those that has beaten Soulsborne games should find this game pretty easy. I feel like FromSoft games taught me how to play games really well. I can play anything without issues due to this. The downs sides is, I'm really picky what games I play now. Majority of games are garbage.
