Looking for a Soulslike/Action RPG that isn't parry heavy

Hey so I'll start off by saying I've never been a big fan of parrying and prefer timing dodges and rolling through attacks. Im looking for Soulslike games that aren't so parry relient. It's fine if it's an option but not necessary, even if it makes the game a little harder. I could maybe be persuaded to play more parry relient games if it's not as heavy like Sekiro say. A game like Lies of P were you don't have to parry but makes the game easier is fine with me.

Games I've played and loved:

Dark Souls 1-3

Elden Ring

Wuchang

Lies of P

Bloodborne

Demon Souls

Hollow Knight

Games I've tried but dropped realising they're parry relient:

Nine Sols (Btw 2D games are cool to recommend as well, I actually really loved this little gem so could be convinced to try it again)

Sekiro

I've also started Nioh before twice and the combat was just a bit too strange for me I'm not sure why. I'm open to being convinced to try it again.

Games I've heard about but don't know too much about them and I'm interested in:

Khazan

Wukong

Strangers in Paradise

Rise of the Ronin

Wu Long

Code Vein (This one I've played but dropped for an unknown reason, might have been because the game is based around having an AI partner. But I did really like it).

AI Limit

I think that's about it. I do much much prefer the rolling and dodging style gameplay but I could be convinced to try something if it's really that good. So yeah it'd be great to have some feedback on the games I've dropped and the games I'm interested in or if there's anything else you'd like to recommend feel free. Thanks in advance. I'm also open to anything that might be soul adjacent like action RPGs as well, even better if they have a decent story. I guess I like the simpler mechanics of me, my weapon and dodging. But I can definitely be convinced and open minded about other games.
