Originally released in February last year for PC, Shattered: Tale of the Forgotten King has mostly positive user reviews over on Steam — although it sounds like the game's been improved quite a bit since its initial build. It's coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 at some point in the first quarter of 2022 (soon, in other words).
Shattered's a combination of quite quick Souls-like combat, expansive environments, and even some platforming. You're also able to develop your character however you like, with different weapons and magical attacks up for grabs.

Never has a new game looked more PlayStation 2 than Showa American Story!

The story setup is equally amusing: “Japan has bought out most of the United States with its strong economic power. A surge of immigration has firmly planted Japanese culture within the American continent. Two cultures are rapidly amalgamated, although conflicts are inevitable, citizens gradually adapt to a life never imagined as time goes by.”
