Except when they’re stupid too. In the tutorial area of Horizon: Zero Dawn they have you climb a wall. The handholds are marked with white and yellow.

Except it’s evening in game and the color grading effect makes everything a shade of orange. The colors aren’t distinguishable and the shapes of handholds are still new. Took me two hours to figure it out. I knew I had to climb the wall, but where to do it and where to go on the wall was a mystery.

No offense but I don’t think this is a dev problem, seeing how so many people went through it no problem and it took you two hours.

  Poor color/contrast can be an accessibility issue. Some games come with colorblind modes that adjust light and color hues, to provide an option for players who have difficulty with that.

    Both horizon games have excellent colorblind modes and a button that highlights climbable points with high contrast. The paint is only visible without using this mode in the very first tutorial areas or on long/time-limited climbing segments. The game tries very hard to cater to a wide audience, and people still bandwagon on it relentlessly.

  Or perhaps devs could instead make sure their other efforts don’t hide things? Especially in the tutorials?

    I just watched playthroughs of the game, including the tutorials, and the only thing I have to say is “how did you get stuck on it for two hours”. This is like the cuphead journalist level. Each interactable / climbable stands out in annoyingly bright orange paint. No portion of the day hides it - even the orange hue you describe. Like how?

    Because everything around it was also orange. My not colorblind partner had a hard time with it too. It wasn’t a required part, so perhaps you watched one that didn’t go there.
