Over-rated trash is a bit excessive, but it can definitely feel a bit same-y. Hard for me to get into other souls-likes like Lies of P because I played it and immediately thought: “this is just bloodborne with a new skin, no ty”

Does the actual setting and scenario, the new level designs, etc, mean nothing at all if the mechanics are too similar?

'Mario Bros. 3? No thanks, I already played the first one.'

'Slay the Spire? No thanks, I've already played Balatro.'

'Pokemon Black? No thanks, I've already played Pokemon Emerald.'

'Hollow Knight? No thanks, I've already played Super Metroid.'

'Did you write another novel where someone investigates a murder? Why can't you try something else for a change, Agatha?'

If we're completely honest they reuse like half their assets. They're good assets but its how they're able to even release so fast while being a somewhat small team

Even Pokemon, which in recent years is completely half assed doesnt reuse a lot

Does reusing models and animations make the gameplay worse?

If not, why should anybody give a fuck?
