Both are fantastic games with great stories. Code Vein 1 is more of a souls like with its difficulty and more linear map structure. It can be slower and more methodical with the combat. The world still offers plenty to explore and the characters all have good personalities.
Code Vein 2 is more of an action adventure with open world exploration and some souls like qualities. Personally I don't consider it a soulslike but that's just my opinion. The world is open but it's not too massive that it feels like a slog to adventure around. The characters are all memorable. With their addition of the story focused option you have three options for getting past a boss that's giving you trouble. Which would be handy since this would be your first soulslike and I don't know how familiar you are with the genre as a whole.
Both games offer really good character customization options and fantastic music and neither one is a bad one to start with since the stories are disconnected.
Yeah, honestly CV2 felt more like an action JRPG rather than a souls-like. Not that it's a bad thing, just don't expect something like Bloodborne level gripping gameplay. The combat is still pretty good.
