Spider-Man might have spawned "puddlegate" across 2018 thanks to puddles that differed in size from trailer to gameplay (yes, really), but just one year prior, puddle tech was on full display in Horizon Zero Dawn.

Similar to how GTA V also features small bodies of water that evaporate over time, Horizon's weather storms will leave behind puddles, that slowly fade away if you stand around and watch them long enough.

The definition of a pointless game detail, it is a cool way to convey the passage of time if you're out on a hunt long enough.
