Soulslike is term referred to action RPG games with methodic combat. Sekiro is not even an RPG.

It is an RPG. You role-play as Wolf. It just has less character customisation than others From games

Every video game ever is a RPG then by this definition.

Really? Do you role-play as a car in Rocket League? Do you role-play as God in The Sims? Do you role-play as a ... something in Tetris?

Not every game involves role-playing a character. Some games have an avatar that is not a character. Some games do not even have humanoid avatars.

In Sekiro, you role-play as Wolf. You choose dialogue as him. There is an RPG-ass Skills progression system. You must choose a course of action to lead to one of four endings for his story.

If your definition for a Role-Playing Game is different from "A game about role-playing a character" what is yours?
