I play mostly sci-fi games but I enjoy a good ol’ swordfighting once in a while.
What could you suggest as a good single player action game with melee and maybe a dash of spellcasting/“powers” ? It can be TPS or FPS
Although it should (here comes the nitpicking) :
not be a stealth game or stealth-adjacenr like Assassin’s Creed or Shadow Of Mordor
not be a souls-like (I play for fun, not to puke blood)
have health regen (at least out of combat) or any mean to heal without having to look after potions or food while out of combat
If possible a good story would be a major plus, but it doesn’t need to be The Witcher level of good. And I’m more than fine with AA games, or older games as long as the art direction is nice.
EDIT: thanks for the suggestions, I realize I should have mentionned the “similar” games I’ve already played :
The Witcher trilogy
Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim
Dragon’s Dogma
God Of War (liked the combat, not the difficulty)
Darksiders
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003 video game)
Hunted: The Demon’s Forge
Vermintide (even though it’s not single player, but great game)
I really enjoyed Ys VIII (“Lacromosa of Dana”), if you can tolerate the kind of anime-ish story. It’s an action RPG. It’s not especially immersive (very game-y), but it’s got pretty good level design, and the combat is pretty fun, if not particularly challenging (a little button-mashy).

Thanks, I’m not a big fan of anime and this one looks like “over the top” anime ^^’
I remember seeing a ton of Ys games on GOG, the combat looks like fun though, it’s just too much “cliche” for me
I like DBZ games though, I grew up with Dragon Ball
Fair enough. I know that style can be polarizing, it’s why I put that caveat in there.
