I think I'll be finally picking up Project Wingman and Black Mesa in this sale.

What's on your list?

I picked up En Garde recently because I absolutely adore the tone, setting and swashbuckling duelist vibe.

It's a little flat for me, I don't feel like it has achieved the character fantasy of being a swashbuckler in the mechanics, instead I'm basically kicking boxes into people and stabbing them again and again.

It's really hard at the beginning

I'm not a fan of the bleakness of souls games but maybe I'd like En Garde better, it looks like a lot of fun

I wouldn't call it a soulslike really. Beyond being an over the shoulder melee game, it's more of a classic PS2 era adventure game.
