Horizon Zero Dawn - PC Steam Version

• Within Cauldron RHO, a supply crate is unreachable within the wall. The crate can be seen through a small gap and can be located utilizing the Focus, but it cannot be reached or interacted with 
• When a machine is killed where a player stands for a cutscene, the game does not adjust the camera view for the cutscene. Instead, the player only sees a zoomed-in view of the machine and cannot see the story unfolding.
  
• When attempting to hunt critters, sometimes the heavy swing locks onto the animal, but other times it does not. This may be due to terrain at times, but at other times, the lock-on feature apparently fails.
  
• Occasionally, machines will get stuck on small foliage, and the AI cannot figure out how to move out. This causes the machine to sit stuck while the player continues to kill it.
  
• Glinthawks can access areas out-of-bounds during fights. When a Glinthawk is killed with a ranged attack while still out of bounds, the player cannot collect the look from the Glinthawk's body.
  
• When setting a destination through the quest log or map feature, the
  navigation relies on taking an existing road instead of allowing for a straight path to the destination. This sometimes leads the player in the wrong direction and takes longer to get to their destination.
• When setting a destination through the quest log or map feature, the destination icon regularly moves which can be disorienting, especially within cities like Meridian.
• When entering and exiting the water, Aloy will get stuck in a swimming animation even when the water is shallow enough to be run through. This can range from a 2-second inconvenience to a 30-second inconvenience. Attempting to use the jump action does not help Aloy stand up.
• Special merchants rely on specialty items such as ancient vessels, metal flowers, and Banuk figures. To attain these items, players must collect all of a specific type of item. As an improvement area, fewer collected items should be able to purchase lesser items for those not completionists.
