Despite its fresh approach, Light of Motiram has drawn comparisons to Horizon Zero Dawn due to similarities in its mechanical creature designs and tribal aesthetics. Critics and fans on social media have commented on the resemblance, with some humorously dubbing it “Horizon Zero Originality.” However, the game’s unique survival elements, such as resource management and Mechanimal customization, provide a distinct gameplay experience that separates it from the Guerrilla Games’ franchise.

This controversy mirrors the situation with Palworld, which faced legal scrutiny for its similarities to Pokémon. While it remains uncertain if Light of Motiram will encounter similar challenges, its innovative mechanics and ambitious world-building have undeniably captured the spotlight. Love it or question it, the game has already positioned itself as one of 2025’s most anticipated releases.
