Earlier this week, POLARIS QUEST revealed a game that looked like a Horizon ripoff, called Light of Motiram. Light of Motiram had the exact same style and type of enemies as Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West. And today, a video got leaked, featuring 16 minutes of gameplay footage from it.
Now contrary to the Horizon series, Light of Motiram is your typical online survival game. In other words, think of it as Horizon meets Palworld/Lost Ark. And, as you will see from the leaked gameplay video, it seems as boring as it sounds.
I was never a fan of all these online survival games. However, it appears to be a huge crowd for them. Basically, the online survival/crafting games have gotten as boring as all the battle royale titles. Very few of them are popular and almost everyone tries to become the next big hit.
What’s also funny is the game’s description on Steam. At first glance, it makes it sound pretty good. I mean, who wouldn’t want a game with realistic physics, a precise combat system, and huge bosses? And, since it’s a Horizon ripoff, you’d think that it’d play similarly. But no. Instead, Light of Motiram’s combat feels as flat and uninspiring as it can get. In other words, it plays like almost all the other online survival/crafting games.
And I get it, we shouldn’t judge a game from a beta gameplay video. But, this title has red flags all over it. Okay okay, these red flags are not in the same league as those of The Day Before. There is an actual game here. However, it does not excite me in the slightest.
Perhaps I’m not the target group for this title. Perhaps other PC gamers will love it. Perhaps there are people who wanted a Lost Ark game with a Horizon skin. Perhaps it will become a success. I mean, they at least got more coverage than a lot of other online survival/crafting games. So, kudos to them.
There is currently no ETA on when the game will come out. My guess is that we’re looking at a 2025 Early Access game, with the final version coming in 2026 or 2027.
So, go ahead and take a look!
