Rewatched part of the Horizon Digital Foundry.Same with climbing. They fully redid the system to make it compare better to botw.
I forgot how much of the game just seems like they were trying to tackle the criticisms of the first game. The animations in the first game weren't good, so now they're amazing. The grass isn't dynamic to touch, so now we're going to make sure that works. etc.
Gorgeous game, and I still haven't played it.
