I’m fascinated by this open-world delivery game that sounds like Death Stranding on a horse in 13th-century Mongolia, with “unparalleled equine realism” (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

To be honest the horse mechanics in RDR2 are very in-depth, you have to manage their fear, stamina, weight, cleanliness and so forth... I never understood why some people cared about the realistic aspects of horses in games until I played it, it really adds to the immersion compared to something like Skyrim's horses that are just bikes on legs.

I had the same horse all the way from the opening mission to 40 hours in. She was killed by an ambush in the woods and I couldn’t pick the game back up for a week.

I know the feeling, at the end of the game

spoiler

in the shootout between Arthur, the rest of the gang and the pinkertons when your horse dies during the cutscene...

That hit me hard as well, fuck me I had invested so much time and effort into that horse and those bastards killed my girl.

If the balls don't shrink, you must rethink.

The person that reviews horses in games must be excited! Or scared

Is it in any way funded by Turkmenistan chairman Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow?

Would that be a plus or a minus
