Month of HZD: The high road

Horizon Zero Dawn has a number of locations that can only be reached by climbing mountain faces. The problem, as is the problem with many games, is that the player needs to become accustomed to seeing mountains in terms of what can or can't be climbed on. HZD's remedy for this is to give all naturally-occuring, graspable hand holds a subtle highlight of white paint, as if some post-apocalyptic road worker with nothing better to do has roamed the entirety of the game map with a bucket of Glidden and a can-do attitude.

The white highlights you see on the mountains in the background on the left are not those highlights. That's snow. The actual highlights are much harder to spot.
