Nioh series was my first soulslike experience and I really enjoyed it. Worldbuilding is less coherent than FS games (especially elden ring) but the combat system more than makes up for it.
The loot system may be cool or overwhelming depending on your preference. I liked borderlands a lot so it was my kinda thing, but next to the endgame it gets a bit tiring.

Definitely recommend it though
