To be honest this is the story of every post apocalyptic world, just with mechanical animals.
Yes, it is very close from the optical aesthetic, but is this anything new?
Every somewhat successful game has always inspired other “clone” games, just look at all the DOOM clones, all the Soulslikes, all the battle royal games, etc out there.
This is just the first game in the new genre of Horizonlikes
I didn’t say that no one’s ever ripped off a popular game before…
I’m more than willing to call certain games ripoffs of others if they’re visually indistinguishable. The thing with soulslikes is that every one I’ve tried has been rather unique. I’m sure there are some that are blatant ripoffs of Dark Souls/Bloodborne, but I wouldn’t say that about Steelrising, or Flintlock, or Remnant, or Code Vein. Fortnite and PUBG popularized the Battle Royale genre, but I wouldn’t call Apex Legends or Spellbreak ripoffs of them. This game looks like Horizon the way that Never Grave looks like Hollow Knight.
I’m totally into a new genre of Horizonlikes. I just want them to offer something unique within the genre.

Ok, yes that is a good and fair argument! I can totally understand your position, thanks for your explanation.
So far it is only a trailer, maybe it has something unique to offer after all. There is always hope 😃
