It was just released on January 26, 2023, from developer Tour De Pizza, led by McPig, and yet it’s already looking like it’ll be a strong game-of-the-year contender. However, when a spiritual successor surpasses its inspiration, that’s a call for a celebration, and that lucky victor today is Pizza Tower, the spiritual successor of Wario Land. More commonly, these spiritual successors end up falling behind those they are trying to imitate, like Yooka-Laylee not matching the quality of Banjo-Kazooie games, or Mighty Number 9 being inferior to 90% of other games, let alone the Mega Man games. Bug Fables is the spiritual successor to Paper Mario, more specifically the first two games, being one of the more successful and celebrated spiritual successors. These revamped ideas are commonly called spiritual successors, aiming to recapture a sort of game franchise that is either dead or has gone too far from its original roots.
