The Nioh series is one of, if not the best traditional soulslike games not made by Fromsoft. The gameplay is much faster, and has a larger emphasis on trying multiple builds being able to respec your stats and skills for a moderate fee whenever you want, and being able to have 2 weapons equipped at once, with up to 8 slots for magic, ninjitsu, and regular consumables. The game strips things back a little with only a handful of weapon movesets and mission based singular maps instead of an interconnected world like Souls, but I feel it helps focus the game into a tighter more player friendly style without giving up the genre famous difficulty.
