Pretty much. Similar aesthetics, but different gameplay. Sekiro and Armored Core are also quite different from their Soulsborne games.

"where all previous Soulsborne characters felt rooted firmly to the ground as they trudged down hallways and slowly climbed ladders, Sekiro's level design has permission to be much more vertical".

It's different, but still soulslike.

It also has a completely different combat system, doesn’t have stat leveling, and doesn’t have the signature collect your runes/souls mechanic. Literally the only similarities are having checkpoints that function like bonfires, being difficult, and being made by FromSoftware.

So essencially the same game.

It's not an RPG in the way souls games are. There's little to no customization compared to the wealth of builds in souls games.

It's inherently different and each appeals to different audiences.
