There is no legitimate reason for Aloy being so slow to get up after being knocked down.

Let's see, I get knocked down and a giant machine literally jumps on top of me and smashes me to pieces. Meanwhile I am just laying there like an idiot. There is NOTHING you can do but continue to get pummeled. Ridiculous. All I can think of is that the developers couldn't figure out a reasonable way to make the combat more difficult so they decided to make it impossible in certain situations.

This game is 100% worse than HZD in every aspect of combat.

Search and read the existing threads about this if you are hoping to learn and not only rant.

I acknowledge aloy takes longer to stand/recover than it takes to read your hyperbolic rant... and yes it is frustrating because it slows the combat and makes it more about "I-frames" embedded in the roll moves not more natural dynamic movement and dodging. It seems something that may be a nod to controller players since keyboard is very precise in comparison?

There's a Story difficulty level for you. No shame in using it.

Its pretty clear that very hard and ultra hard are not meant for noobs. If you are on UH you cannot change difficulty so you have dug your own grave there. If you are on VH or below you can always drop difficulty.

You play it with controller or? If so i couldnt agree. Because the fights are even more outbalanced than in Zero dawn. But I can only speak about the PS4 and PS5

Yes, controller. Controller or M&KB would make no difference in the amount of time it takes Aloy to get up.
