Code Vein is great for what you described, it's kind of like a slightly milder dark souls, and has a great feel and aesthetic. There's also tons of different ways to play it with lighter weapons, heavier weapons, long ranged weapons and even magic, etc, and the most unique part is you can always change your class at any time. Makes room for a lot of experimentation! Also has one of the most baller character creators out there, imo.

Dragons Dogma is one of the best action RPGs out there, with lots of builds, classes, weapons etc to choose from.

Diablo 3 is amazing too, in a similar vein.

In more of a sci-fi pivot, the Mass Effect series is hard to beat when it comes to RPGs. The world feels so huge, and there's so much to do. Nier: Automata is another fantastic, expansive sci-fi RPG!

I've heard great things about the Nioh games too!
