I know of Sekiro and Khazan so far - Sekiro via its reflections and Inner variants, and Khazan via just repeating the boss fight where you fought them initially. I quite like both and think it’s cool to re-experience the fights if you feel like it. Which other soulslikes do that?
The thing with sequels, they really tried a lot of things in DS2. some needed more work, some got discarded and some came back.
I find funny that the torch should play a bigger factor in DS2 but got discarded and the mechanic only came back in Elden Ring where the fire motiff is not relevant like it’s to Dark Souls.
