Horizon Forbidden West fans aren't happy with the game's hitboxes.

A recent Horizon Forbidden West update saw the effectiveness of many of the game's legendary weapons significantly reduced, much to players' disappointment. And the 1.11 patch that was supposed to restore the weapons to their former glory might not have done so after all. But legendary weapon nerfs aren't what's bugging some fans.

They're not alone in their dislike of Horizon Forbidden West's hitboxes. Other users have also vented their frustration, comparing the accuracy needed to damage enemies with the ease at which they can land a hit on Aloy. Nnggooo writes, "You know what's irritating? Enemies sending Aloy halfway across the map without even touching her, but when you misalign an arrow by 0.001 mm it flies right over the enemy's hitbox."
