My personal GOTY is Wuchang. But obviously that won't get nominated, let alone win.

The term "soulslike" has been watered down so much, that it depends on what you mean by it.
But for me, Wuchang is the best one, by far.
The level design is amazing. The checkpoint system is sparce, so unlocking shortcuts and new one actually feel rewarding. As is exploring, as you can find quest items, weapon/healing upgrades and equipment. The combat is fast-paced, but more generous with the timing as well. There is decent variety in terms of enemy, panty selection and environment. The aethetic is good and the endings are vastly different and meaningful.
The downsides are the performance, but if you have a 4070 or above, it's not a problem.
The animations can also be a bit stiff, but for me, that only bothered me in the first hour or so, and then I didn't notice anymore.
NPC/Quests break easily, which can lead you to missing not just minor stuff, but major bosses.
Overall, I'd give the game a solid 8/10
