I've tried Dark Souls so many times and I finally just accepted that it's just not my kind of game.
If you want a "lite" kind of similar game. Jedi Fallen order had a similar kind of thing going on but I was able to play all the way through it. It wasn't quite as punishing when you died.
Sorry anyone that doesn't appreciate my comparison, that was just my thoughts on it. I know they are very different games overall.
Funny, I tore through Fallen Order. I didn't see the similarities you did though.
It was the checkpoint thing and the combat that made it seem similar to me. Where you proceed through parts of the map before it lets you save and later you can open up shortcuts. Obviously Dark souls has more options for weapons but fundamentally they felt similar to me. I did not get very deep into Dark Souls.
That's about where I'm at with it. The way people talk about it makes it feel like a stepping stone I'm supposed to experience at least once, but it's not enjoyable for me. It's just unrelenting punishment for the entire game.
There's no list of must play games. You do you.
