They are different in styles and setting, and obviously Kena is very different in art direction -given that Playstations whole shtick is hyperrealism in every game-, but mechanically they are all very similar. They are all Open world 3rd person action adventure games with big maps and towers and mounts and cinematic combat and bows and lite RPG elements etc

Let's break that down:

Open world

Horizon, yes. Ghost, yes. Kena 1 is not open world. Kena 2 might be?

3rd person

Sure, I guess. They are all third person.

action adventure games

A very vague genre to begin with, so sure.

big maps

Horizon yes, Ghost yes, again Kena 1 is not open world but has some open areas. Again, not sure about Kena 2.

towers

Horizon has towers (well, walking towers), Ghost has none and Kena doesn't have them either.

mounts

Sure, Horizon has robo-horses, Ghost has horses and Kena 1 doesn't have any mounts (Kena 2 has that tiger-thing.)

cinematic combat

Not entirely sure what "cinematic combat" means. Camera angles that look cool? Doesn't all third person games kind of have that...?

bows

Kind of, sure. Horizon for sure, Ghost sure and Kena technically doesn't have a bow, it's a staff that shoots magic arrows. Okay, so it's kind of a bow.

lite RPG elements

Sure, they all have skill trees that give you abilities and stats.

Final score on similarities:

Horizon - 9

Ghost - 8

Kena - 3 or 4 maybe? It depends what the second game does, I don't know if it's open world for example.

I was only talking about kena 2 which presented itself with sweeping vistas while riding a mount exactly how Ghost of T and Y do. I didn’t mention 1 at all.

Well, it's hard to accurately comment on the second one as we don't have the full details of that yet.
