Difficult to say if you'll like it.

The good part is - it doesn't play like a Souls game and a big reason why I tend to like the gameplay part of it.

Where the game is a lot faster overall and depending on how you're setup, less forgiving than FFXV.

The first playthrough, you may find overall a power structure easier to follow. With one of four difficulty settings: Story (Casual), Story, Action, and Hard. Hard would be if you're both into the masocore genre and plan to invest time into the mechanics to become the boss that other bosses fear.

Where the DLC, is a wilderness of possibilities that has left a number of players bewildered on where to go and how to get power. And the devs saw that players weren't seeing the path they set forth - so gave a few other options if you just want the story, test things, need a little boost to clear something, or do a lore-friendly roleplay through the rest of the story. And then players can turn off Extra Mode.

Edit: On the DLCs, it's also possible to overgear or over-stat on content and power through it in several possible ways. Where some may be less stress or effort compared to others once setup.

I liked Darksiders 3, and that game was another Souls like

no you wont

What else are you expecting from this game? there's a difficulty slider but the point of this game is playing it for the difficulty. The story starts off very slow and is pretty decent by the end but that's not a good reason to play this game alone. Gear in this game is pretty meh in terms of variety so there's no "fashion-souls." (you might be disappointed to find that you can't look stylish with all the gear in this game)

It's also not a souls like. It's got tight gameplay though that gets progressively harder. Also mixing and matching jobs is pretty fun.

How should I know, give it a try and see if you'll like it.

The only similarity with souls here is difficulty - you could be killed in few to one hit and enemies are respawn when you touch save sphere.
The game doesn't have runes, amrita or anything to level up. This means if you die, you lose nothing and just start from the save as in usual games (but you keep equipment you got and job xp). You'll need job points and equipment, which both are not affected by dying

Based on what you say, I doubt it.
It falls under souls-like umbrella, that means difficult gameplay.
I cannot say if you have the skill level to enjoy the game. Personally I find the game relatively hard, though I'm enjoying the difficulty.

Lore-wise, it's very enjoyable for Dissidia/FF fans.

Dark Souls is, wait wait wait attack once wait wait dodge dodge wait, SoP doesn't look this boring

Just buy it and play less than 2h so you can refund it if you dont like the combat.

No it's completely different to Dark Souls in terms of combat.
It's souls-like which is different. If you know Nioh, it's like that, mixed with final fantasy (spells, MP, etc).

That game is for nioh/dark souls/monster hunter enjoyers first of all, if you don't like these you prob won't like it

This is more a Action RPG then a Souls Like.

I play it on Hard and its okay. But there are 2 difficultis lower. If you have problems you can play it on easy.
And the fakt that this game has difficultis shows you thats not a realy souls like.

But yes some of the game mechanics are clearly inspired on souls like. Like bone Fire and useless shortcuts. But you don't lose your xp if you die.
When you have a friend you can play it nearly complet in coop

Played for 5h until now, and as a person who dislikes souls-games, I actually enjoy this game.

[Kimarnic]

I'll try NIOH from that time it went for free on EGS

Probably not, this game actually requires some skill with it's combat. FFXV did not have much skill involved as it is just pressing one button with the occasional parry.
