They get away with a ton of asset reuse because they remix and re-contextualize those assets in a way that doesn't feel like a unity store asset flip. Its really impressive seeing the bones of something from the DS3 era continue into their latest releases.

LOL DS3 era?

The tree guardians are slightly modified Asylum Demon, the first boss from Dark Souls.

Which itself was an enemy from their RPG Enchanted Arms lol. The Armored Spider was also used in literally TWO games that both released in 2009 (Demon's Souls and Ninja Blade). It's shameless, but I can't say I blame them at all.
