It feels like I am not alone in this lonely world. I sometimes catch myself talking with my horse and his weird behavior. Like when they get stuck between trees or eat apples from the tree. Moments like these make the game special and enjoyable.
Best Horse Games
It’s not the destination but the journey that matters. And with your trusted horse companion, you can feel the sense of closeness as you ride along and discover secrets together. I will let you experience those moments with games below. You might like it more or less but all these games provide you what you are looking for.
Elden Ring
The only thing I desperately wanted in this game for the first 3 hours was a horse. I died so many times trying to escape the horse guy with a shield and long weapon. That was not a fair fight, while I was on foot and he was on a giant horse. There were so many times when I wished to have a horse while giant enemies appeared from the skies or ground. If only I had a horse, I could defeat this giant monster or dash through the hordes of enemies. My desires were fulfilled when I met my maiden outside the Stormgate, and she gave me a ring that could summon my horse anytime. One thing I absolutely love about summoning a horse in an elding ring is how seamlessly it appears out of thin air, letting me instantly ride my horse. Passing through grim yet beautiful terrain on my horseback is less terrifying as I can now escape enemies’ attacks if it gets too much to handle. My best part is to fly high with the help of upward drift. Jumping on it makes my horse fly high enough to reach the nearest cliff and view the enormous dark world of The Lands Between.
Red Dead Redemption
It’s a wild west game so expect a lot of shooting while horse riding. Created by the developer who made the GTA franchise, RDR is truly massive, and the horse is your means of transportation. Lasso wild horses and tame them to ride the vast lands of the west. Find the best horse from the deserted grassland and chase your enemies on it. An action-packed game with a beautiful story set in the American lands of the west. With amazing casts of actors and well-written dialogues, it truly feels like you are living in the west. You can let horses carry your equipment and utilize your weapons on horseback. There are a lot of things you can do along with capturing and selling your horse that does not provide enough speed. What’s best is that you can even catch unicorns in Legendary level after killing the Chupacabra. And if you like Red Dead Redemption, you can play other games similar to it.
Red Dead Redemption II
The predecessor to the previous Red Dead Redemption, this game improves on every aspect of gameplay and graphics, including horses. Now you can customize your horse, breed them and care for them by keeping them healthy. You don’t have to go on to the wild planes to catch horses because this time, you can purchase them from the stable. You can also revive your dead horse. Take care of your horse as their speed and performance are directly dependent upon the way you treat them. Never before have I played a game that is graphically stunning and visually breathtaking. Take pleasing photos of the scenery on horseback and save them in your memory. Exploring the vast and beautiful land from day to night as you absorb the ambiance of nature which is both exciting and majestic. You will truly feel like a cowboy riding your horse into the distance.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Get ready for crazy horse riding because you can achieve impossible feats while riding on your horse. And by impossible, I mean glitches that are activated when riding on a horse. There are a lot of glitches that can turn into an advantage if you can successfully execute them. Once you have a thousand gold coins in your pocket, you can buy a horse in a stable located around the places of Skyrim. In my experience, riding a horse is absolutely necessary, especially if you are traversing up the mountain heights. With your horse, you can climb almost any snowy vertical cliff, which is otherwise impossible on your own. Fight with a dragon on horseback and chase them if they fly away. Unfortunately, you cannot revive your horse, and if they die, you have to buy another from a stable. So be careful before doing something that might kill your horse. I usually restart my game from the last checkpoint if I accidentally kill my horse jumping from heights. If you have already played this game and want to try other sequels, you can read this article.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Odyssey takes place after the battle between Greece and Persia. Relieve the history and almost exact replica of Athens on your horse as you explore the gorgeous landscape and vibrant architecture of Greece. Your horse’s name is Phobos. It’s the name of the God in Greek mythology who is the personification of fear and panic. Likewise, your horse is also a fearless beast that can charge against enemies and stomp anyone who gets in its way. You can make your horse even more powerful and deadly with legendary skins. Legendary skins combined with long-range weapons such as spears make you go almost invincible riding your horse and defeating enemies.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
I feel blessed talking about horses in Breath of the Wild because it’s that amazing. If you are a fan of open-world sandbox games and you haven’t played this game, what are you waiting for? This is a sign for you to go and play this game. Capturing horses in the ruins of open grassland feels exciting as you stealth and anticipate their every move. There was this dark brown horse with a white diamond shape on his head. I named him Bojack. My Bojack and I made memories of going on adventures. I also caught Aqua, but I loved Bojack so I left Aqua in a stable because you can catch five horses and retrieve them from any stable. I don’t want to ruin the fun by telling you every horse in this game, but what I can tell you is that there are three different horses in this game and one additional in Downloadable Content. My advice is to get ancient horse armor to summon your horse anytime and any place you like. Those memories flood back like nostalgia even though it was just two years ago. I was riding my Bojack on the edge of rocky highlands while the game played soothing music in the background. Admiring the vast, beautiful but deserted land, I was soaked into the world, and then, behold a gentle surprise when a dragon flew past above me, giving me a sense of joy. I was pretty much blown away by this experience. A core memory indeed. There are so many places to see and so many things to experience, from stables to horse god pond. You need to play by yourself to experience this true masterpiece.

You can reach highlands and snowy mountains on your horse. It’s a calming experience riding your horse from open fields to mountain gorge.
Shadow of the Colossus
Chasing hugemongous bosses on horseback is enthralling, and that’s just the beginning because climbing on them and defeating each one of them by solving puzzles gives you a sense of satisfaction. I felt the adrenaline rush through my body as I had to dodge the colossus boss’ attack while maneuvering my horse left and right. It was the experience I was craving from Shadow of the Colossus, and it did not fail to provide me with such experience. You can, in fact, traverse terrains on your feet, but that’s no fun, and it takes a lot of time, traveling far.

Star Stable
