Recently I bought the game Thymnesia. I knew it was called souls like and I have no problem with the mechanics.
But the animation for activating the safe points was do Bloodborne like. Also you had a safe zone, like the Hunters Workshop, with a little girl by your side resembling the doll.
Another example would be the game Wolcen Lords of Mayhem. There you got treasure insects instead of treasure goblins.
I am curious because I recently read that Monster was suing companies for using the word „monster“ in games or titles.
Why is it so different when copying game mechanics?

You can’t “steal” an idea because general ideas aren’t protected. You are welcome to make a game inspired by all the games you like.
Anyone can sue anyone for anything. Monster can sue anyone they want. Their case is stupid and they will lose, but they’re allowed to sue and lose if they want.
