A soulslike with strong plot and rpg elements that's not an action game that you need to dodge sometimes.
How is it a soulslike if it isn't an action game?
Action games usually relies on twitch reflexes and using the right combos for the correct enemies. Maybe it isn't the best name for what I mean but what I want is less "soulslike" games that are just PS2 God of War with a roll button and more like Dark Souls 1 and 2.
So action, but slower action? That's perfectly reasonable and I love DS1. You might like the Demon Souls remake, and there are a metric ton of indie soulslikes that range the gamut in that respect. You can get an impressively large set of reviews of those from the YouTube channel Iron Pineapple (seemingly named after the Conjurors in DS1, whose helmets look a little like iron pineapples)
yes please
