Games with weirdly specific parallels

[StaceyPowers]

What are some games you have played with lots of parallels between them?

For example, both TLOU and BioShock: Infinite feature Troy Baker playing a reluctant father.

Another example would be BioShock Infinite and Spec Ops: The Line, both shooters which take you on a strange journey through a city in its final days of destruction where you play a traumatized soldier essentially fighting his own demons.

I always found the vaults in Mass Effect Andromeda and the Cauldrons in Horizon Zero Dawn eerily similar in concept and design. It's almost as if there was some industrial espionage going on there.

Zelda and SMB often have easter eggs of the other one in the games. For example when you make it through the castle courtyard to meed Zelda as a child in Ocarina Of Time, if you look through the windows you'll see pics of Bowser, Mario and Yoshi on the walls. It's more rare to see Zelda in Mario games, but I have seen them. I just can't think of any off the top of my head at the moment.
