One consistently overlooked feature in Guerrilla Games' Horizon series is its melee combat. In Horizon Zero Dawn, Aloy's spear was introduced as a means for Horizon melee combat, but it came with only two attacks — a light attack and a heavy attack. As players progressed through the game, they could upgrade the spear to perform stealth attacks and Override machines, but that was about it. Thankfully, the spear was vastly improved in Horizon Forbidden West, allowing players to perform several simple combo attacks, but its melee combat still wound up feeling a bit lackluster overall.
