Argh..
Don't use these words. PLEASE. They are way too overused.
Spiritual successor is just another word for "riding on the fame of that popular game, beause we fear it won't sell well enough otherwise". Take the BioShock example: If it were just that, everyone would say: "Hey, looks like a good shooter, maybe I'll look into it, looks good". But now it's a "spiritual successor" to System Shock and everyone goes "OMFG, it's System Shock, I just MUST buy it".
Not that YOU are doing the same, but please just don't use them xD
Besides that, I like the style of that guy. He walks kind of funny. In a good way a mean. But you shouldn't let him walk like that in a horror-themed game. It looks kind of "shaggy"
