‘Horizon clone’ Light of Motiram is coming to PS5 and iOS as extended gameplay trailer is revealed

16 minutes of Light of Motiram gameplay has been published as the game that fans have labeled as a “Horizon clone” is also confirmed for PS5.

Earlier this week developer Polaris Quests announced Light of Motiram, and fans were quick to point out similarities between it, and Sony’s Horizon franchise. 

Now, the developer has confirmed that the game will come to PS5 and iOS in addition to Steam. Alongside this, 16 minutes of gameplay has also been published.

“Facing primal civilisations, unpredictable weather and lurking Mechanimals, you must make the most of every resource to maintain your survival,” the game’s description reads.

While the gameplay appears to have some elements not found in the Horizon series, such as co-op multiplayer and the ability to craft shelters, the game has nevertheless been criticised on social media with many accusing it of taking more than a little inspiration from Guerrila’s games.

Players can also tame and train the Mechanimals, leading some to suggest the game may also borrow heavily from Palworld, which itself was criticised for taking apparent inspiration from Pokemon.
