A world with mechanical animals is not unique to Horizon and was not even new when Horizon came out. The Xenoblade Series for example has mechanimals and this is not even the first either, just the first I can think of right now.
And the rest of the world, and the battle system, looks like Monster Hunter so it is not really new or Horizon exclusive either.
It’s not just that it’s a “world with mechanical animals”, it’s the entire design aesthetic is completely lifted from Horizon. It’s obviously a different kind of game, but the character and animal designs look straight out of the Horizon games.
