I've played Atergios, Achilles, and Salt and Sanctuary (game before Salt and Sacrifice).

• Salt and Sacrafice: Probably worth the $16 price tag on its own. The first game was really well done and felt like a 2D dark souls game, although I think more forgiving (2D forces tighter controls so combat felt more reasonable). There are also multiple endings and play styles -Astergios: I didn't finish the is game, but it seemed okay. I think it played more like Lies of P, with more linear segments and the combat isn't as strong as dark souls or Lies of P
• Achilles: I didn't know this was considered a souls-like. I only played a little bit of it before getting distracted by something else, but it's a top down action rpg that felt more like Diablo or Torchlight than dark souls. I think it was a good game, but I'm not well vered in top down action rpgs.
