Popeye and Tintin have entered the public domain [for the US, other nations may have different rules], so I'll just go ahead and start the countdown clock for our first Sailor Man soulslike (www.pcgamer.com)

Different laws may apply world wide. Ie: in Europe is not about the publication date, but author life-span (author's works get in public domain 70 years it's death: TinTin gets in PD in EU in the 2054)

Gasp. How dare you, my good sir/madam?

No, seriously, I get it, but no. PoP, Flashback or Another World are way more playable. They look worse, though.

I can't comment on the comparison, as I didn't play most of those, but I will comment on Sands of Time:

The premise of the game is that the protagonist is recalling a story. He narrates your actions as you play, but you can fail. If you fail, you can die. If you die, the narrator says things like "and then I died. No, wait, that's not right" and you can rewind time.

I always thought that was pretty funny.
