Sounds like you might enjoy the Ori games (Ori and the {Blind Forest, Willow of the Wisps}).

Not exactly the same genre as the ones you mentioned, but some challenging combat (at times, not throughout) that doesn’t involve slogging back if you die.

While Ori is similar genre, I think it doesn't have the sheer depth of lore and world-building that pulls many people into Souls games.

Hollow Knight on the other hand does.
