"Petit Planet, which just launched its second beta test, is HoYoverse's spin on the Animal Crossing formula. The comparison was drawn instantly when the concept first leaked."
"Genshin Impact is well-known for being heavily inspired by Breath of the Wild, and having that parallel drawn frequently in its early days clearly hasn't hurt it much."
"Attempting to reduce Genshin to a BOTW clone in the year 2026 will most likely just make you look hopelessly behind the times."
"I'm not sure what Petit Planet brings to the table that a quarter of a century's worth of Animal Crossing titles didn't already."
The gaming landscape of the 2020s has seen a surge of titles reminiscent of Animal Crossing, with Petit Planet being a clear example. HoYoverse's new game draws direct comparisons to Animal Crossing, similar to how Genshin Impact was linked to Breath of the Wild. While Genshin offers a unique take on its inspirations, Petit Planet raises questions about its originality in a genre already saturated with Animal Crossing-like elements. The ongoing trend suggests a reliance on established formulas rather than innovation.
