An idea I got after playing Spartan Total Warrior, that is Total War's clone of God of War. Games that are heavily influenced by others. Maybe with enough distinctions to separate itself from the original, maybe it's straight up plagiarism, or maybe it works as a tribute. All goes, though the two games have to be from different developers, and no repeats to not oversaturate. This list could also work as "if you like X, try Y" I guess, suit yourself.
I'll be adding to this list as I go finding them, but of course feel free to comment any that you know or suggest a correction.
Madagascar works as a bookmark for mobile users to easily differentiate the pairs.

Soulslikes are a genre by now, but I guess this was the first one. May be wrong about that, though.

@cowbowjosh Added them! About the retro games, yeah, they were shameless back then lol. I'm down to add some if they have funny blatant names like Space Intruders, or done by a rival company like Congo Bongo.
Quarantine (1994) => grand theft auto, crazy taxi
Severance: blade of darkness => dark souls
Metroid => spiderbot
@Pilotin_67 Gracias por las sugerencias! Pero ando buscando juegos con influencias un poco más marcadas. Estoy de acuerdo que esos juegos influenciaron a los que decís, pero tienen que ser juegos MUY similares. Btw, gracias por hacerme conocer Quarantine, se ve muy interesante.
