Human enemies are much more padded than they were in Zero Dawn. Unless you have the most powerful weapons in the game, you can no longer one-shot them with head shots. Quite a few of them wear odd wooden masks, which you have to knock off before even trying to get head shots.

The developers are very proud of their new melee design. If you get swarmed, you'd better know how to use a bunch of tricky combo moves. Even then, you can't just kill someone. You have to reduce their health bar bit by bit. I'm not a fan of this. I can understand big metal robots taking a while to kill with primitive weapons, but I don't see why every bandit has to be a bionic superhero with unexplained force field armor.
