Horizon Zero Dawn-style open-world survival game previously blasted as "shameless" seemingly gets a thumbs up from Sony as it confirms a PS5 release

The new Horizon Zero Dawn-esque survival game Light of Motiram seems to have been given a thumbs up from Sony, despite rampant comparisons of it and Guerrilla Games' action RPG series, as it'll also be launching on PS5.

Light of Motiram was revealed last week and promptly gave everyone déjà vu with its concept and visuals. Set in a lush, open world "overrun by colossal machines" called Mechanimals, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were looking at another of Aloy's adventures at first glance. While it'll feel different to play, with it boasting what sounds more like a Palworld-style combination of survival, crafting, and creature collecting elements (you can tame and befriend the Mechanimals), that's not stopped people from calling it "shameless," and even former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra has spoken up about it.
