Try SB on its Story mode difficulty if you're not huge fan of action/souls combat.

Definitely I would try out Astro's Playroom since it's free. It only takes a couple hours to beat. I had my PS5 for like a year and had never tried it because I thought it looked stupid. Once I did I felt stupid for not trying it earlier.
If you like Astro's Playroom you'll love AstroBot (it's a full $60-$70 game you have to buy though). It's a 3D platformer that's very forgiving (tons of checkpoints, nothing is missable, etc), I absolutely suck at video games now and was able to get through everything including the challenge levels and the Plat.

Ok enjoying Stellar Blade but i must admit i'm getting my shit pushed in. Not used to having a delay when potion spamming so i'm basically standing around like a retard trying to heal getting smacked over the head. combat is definitely less spammy and more tactical than I am used to.
just about done with the 2 hour free trial, debating do i just drop the full price for this game knowing that I have like 10 other games for free to play? it says i'm like 23% of the way done? There's no way, how long is this game? I'm assuming there are achievements/side quests/etc that extend gameplay?

for Stellar Blade, ~25-30 hours to just do the main story, ~60-70 hours to 100% and platinum the game - you must finish the game in NG+ for plat, but it takes around 6-8 hours if you just do main story and skip all side quests. There is a trick to 100% the game with just two playthroughs (instead of 3) but i don't remember what it is, something to do with using PS+ cloud near the end to make two different choices.
I finished a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it, honestly my favorite game of the past 6-8 months. The visuals, hot NPCs, and combat is really fantastic and once you practice and get good at it, it tends to be relatively easy since boss fights are telegraphed with only a few simple moves. Its way, way, way easier than elden ring, dark souls, god of war, etc.
Trophies are not tied to difficulty at all so you can finish the game at any difficulty.

PS+ isn't required to complete it in two as long as you defeat the final boss without dying. Losing and retrying the final fight saves and locks your file to whatever choice you made, but winning in one go lets you save scum after the credits and pick the other option.
If you want all collectible outfit variations you need three runs anyways since you have to max the progress bar and complete the extra area twice for NG+ recolors plus a run where you don't for the 3rd ending.

Getting most of the Survival skills will help a lot; easier dodge / parry timings, some counter hits off dodge parry, etc.
Going for Plat is a nice goal, and it doesn't require you to find all the collectibles. Also, NG+ opens up more skills to unlock, suit upgrades and new gears.
I recently started a brand new playthrough, but only wearing the skin suit, mostly on Normal, but I did switch to Story for the first Alpha.

I loved this game too. I even listened to the sound track in the car for a bit lol. I made it to the 2nd to last boss on the hardest difficulty but had to tone it down finally. What a great game, may have to replay it now that I bought a Pro (for the VR enhancement of other games)
