At the risk of offending equestrian lovers, I have to say most mounts in videogames suck.
Now I’ll have to admit my experience of anything equine in real life is basically limited to the ponies you used to be able to ride at the school fair and putting in a bit of small change on the Grand National a long time ago. But in videogames, I’ve ridden a lot of them, and they always come up short.
If you were a 90sd kid like me, your first memory of riding a digital stallion was probably Epona in Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Wasn’t the stamina management with the carrots and the way she’d come to a stop if you tried to approach an obstacle at just the slight wrong angle annoying?
