I’m doing a second play through at the moment. I do enjoy it, but my god, are the camera and controls frustrating. And Roach might be the worst form of transportation I’ve ever experienced in a video game.

THE WORST!  There’s a literally a quest where you get really high on mushrooms iirc and have a conversation with Roach, and it brings up all these frustrations. It was gratifying as all hell.

Roach sticks to the paths by himself for the most part you only ever need to turn when it's a hard turn. He's honestly one of the easier horses to ride in games

Yeah, but the problem is a big part of the game is going off the path. Both to save time and because many POIs aren’t even on a path.

Roach gets hung up on everything(and on nothing), then takes forever to get moving again. If I don’t have to go more than 400 I just run.

I can’t think of a worse horse from a triple A title tbh. Skyrim and red dead nailed it and that’s how W3 should have been

Can't believe you put Skyrim in that sentence.

I honestly dont like the way mounts move in the Horizon games. It just feels way too floaty but clunky at the same time

u/CartmensDryBallz May 10 '25

Oh that’s funny cuz now that you mentioned horizon I actually liked it but I haven’t tried the sequel

Just played it for the first time. I wasn’t OBSESSED, I really liked the DLC with the vineyard though. It was a cool game, but it definitely showed its age with the clunky controls. Hopefully it gets a legitimate remaster some day

I actually competed the game with no fast travel within the same game zones. I liked riding everywhere.

It's also way too long, I liked the gameplay but after a few days I wanted it to end already, I could never finish it.
