the word “yoink,” a coinage of Meyer’s, which characters sometimes utter in the act of snatching something

That implies invention by Meyer, doesn't it?

Yeah, absolutely right. "X is like a new part of Y" must make sense for being a successor. Nobody will say "Last of Us is just like Uncharted IV"!
But you would not argue that F:NV is the spiritual "successor" to those movies just because they were referenced.
If I didn't know about Hotline Miami and you told me about like: "It's like somebody made a new Hitman game!" I would be completely lost playing the game. Whole different perspective, style, flow. IMO being a "successor" implies more than just similar elements or references.
That said, wtaching out for examples I do not find so many other, that I think are similiarly weak as the Hitman/Hotline one. So it may be the exception in the list.
With no wars and no lies how came their world to be exactly like ours? That's fishy, I say.
The used definition is sometimes really broad here. I mean, ok, Dead Space to Callisto Protocol or Titan Quest to Grim Dawn is obvious but Hotline Miami is the Spiritual Successor to Hitman because... you are have to kill people and when you fail you go try again? Very weak. Just being influenced or having a vaguely similar theme shouldn't make it a "successor".
That's because our all file systems are god's trash can.
Da sich die Union in der Opposition befindet, nutzt sie den Bundesrat, um Pläne der Regierung zu verhindern oder zu verzögern.

The part with "menaces with spikes" sounds more like Dwarf Fortress
... und sich beim Umwenden direkt ärgern kann, dass "die doch den fleißigen Deutschen die Arbeit klauen!"
A maintenance job on a foreign space station with questionable technical standards and used as a slave labor camp just a year ago. I think he expected some challenge but more of the technical kind than just straight up torture.
