Same:

  • Music
  • Art style of the creatures and environments
  • Overall concept and ideas, generally, it seems

Different:

  • Character design, a little thinner, more Asian game looking. People who are anime/hentai thin and are performing physical feats they shouldn't be expected to be able to do. Less texture and detail to the faces and such. More smooth, gen AI look and feel. Less/cheaper work behind it I'm assuming.
  • Traveling, actually looks fun as hell compared to the Horizon games. Riding many more animals of different types and in/through different media, like water.
  • Fighting gameplay, looks like absolute ass, bro. Same old ground-based regurgitated melee style fighting you find in every single Chinese game with fighting in it. Looks so boring. Move in, hit, move out. Repeat until finished. I sleep.
  • Maybe able to clone beings you have destroyed? I dunno. Could be cool if that's what I saw.

I low key would want to play through this in an any% kind of way. Just to see if it's fun. But the battle sequences did not sell this well, I have to say.

Good luck to all.
