The graphics look really nice, but like you said, there is only so much time to play games these days.
it's a level-based combat-focused platformer with a loot system (I generally hate looters, but this one is managable). Maybe Valfaris would be a good comparison in terms of game structure, but this one is mostly meele - you do have a ranged weapon, but you need to use meele to get ammo. Fortunately, it's not as absurdly hard as Valfaris. From classic games probably something like Ninja Gaiden would be a good comparison. Combat feels really similiar to Dead Cells, but is a little bit slower.
Re Dark Devotion, I got it a while ago and absolutely hated it, the idea of putting roguelike progression into a non-randomized game didnt click with me at all, and combat felt terrible - putting an instant animation cancel into a soulslike combat system makes it completely broken. The visuals and atmosphere were on point, though
Oh, and about Salt and Sanctuary, it's one of my favourite games of all time, I love everything about it. Did you beat it with 2-handed weapons? If so, I would recommend starting a new playthrough with a different build, 2-handed weapons are just easy mode in this game due to insane stagger. I also did faith/dex and magic playthrough and they were more fun and challenging, in general dex weapons are more fun because you need to learn their combos to use them effectively.
