Aloy trained her whole life to maximize her superhuman jumping and climbing powers, but, in a cruel twist of fate, can only activate them when in the presence of the color yellow.

I appreciate the extremely visible YOU CAN CLIMB THIS indicator in Horizon Zero Dawn, but it ended up giving me the adverse side effect of being pretty sure that any gentle incline that wasn't bright yellow was probably insurmountable.

Well pop flyin' easter to the lot of you!

I was aware of the custom to paint eggs for easter. I was not aware of painting ledges.

I played BotW before HZD, and boy did it spoil me in terms of climbing. The inability to climb wherever I wanted in HZD and instead having to do Assassin's Creed-style "parkour" or Skyrimming my way up hills really bummed me out.

No kidding. I went into this right after beating BotW, and I caught myself running Aloy straight into walls, wondering why she wouldn't climb them, more times than I care to admit.

I did the same thing after going back to Wind Waker and Twilight Princess after playing Breath of the Wild.

We have been spoiled.

I did the same thing except going from BotW and trying to play Age of Conan Exiles. It didn't end well.

I love HDZ with all my heart, but this is the only point that pisses me off in the game. I was stuck in a place for more than 30 minutes because of a ledge that I couldn't see way more time than I cared to count. In Wind Waker, it's obvious enough since everything is bright and clear cut compared to HZD.
I recently played Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, and I surprised myself saying "See HZD, that's a climbing mechanics".
