Is a game a clone or simply heavily inspired? In the gaming community, the answer often depends on personal bias — if a player enjoys a game, they call it “inspired,” but if they dislike it, they call it a “clone” or “knock-off.”

In this video, we dive deep into the clone vs inspired games debate, exploring how developers borrow mechanics, art styles, and systems from other titles, and where the line between inspiration and imitation really lies.

We take a closer look at Farlight 84’s massive update — adding a first-person mode and a brand-new map — and compare it to Apex Legends, a game it’s often accused of copying. But Farlight 84 isn’t the only example. We also explore:

The explosion of Five Nights at Freddy’s fan games

How Hades inspired an entire roguelite subgenre

Parallels between Delta Force and Battlefield in FPS history

Why some mechanics are industry standards while others are seen as rip-offs

By the end, you’ll have a clearer understanding of the fine line between game inspiration and game cloning, and why public perception changes depending on whether people love or hate a game.
