#Horse games for the mac series
A bundle of the base game and the Pets expansion is available on Steam.Īs someone who loves the Zelda series for its item-based progression, complex dungeons, semi-open worlds and sometimes clichéd but always engaging narratives, I was disappointed in many things about Breath of the Wild: Dungeons are too short and formulaic, cutscenes and story too few and far between, and Link’s trusted chocolate palomino mare Epona is only available as amiibo “DLC” rather than part of the story.īut despite these concerns, the game is absolutely beautiful and its horses are some of the best I’ve ever seen in a game in terms of fluent animation and gorgeously stylized models.
Thanks to the general fame and acclaim of the Sims series, Sims 3: Pets maintains an active modding community that creates all sorts of new horses and tack.
While the horse mechanics on their own are not incredibly deep by Sims standards, the fact that your horses can have personality traits and learn skills like jumping and running by exercising still makes for more engaging gameplay than that of many horse games.Īnd because these mechanics are embedded in the otherwise complex system of Sims’ economics, skills and life progress, you can basically make your own horse game out of it, building stables, breeding horses and seeing to their needs being met. The game has an extensive character creator for humans and pets alike, which allows you to choose from a wide variety of horse breeds or mix, match and edit every detail yourself. In the case of The Sims 3 and its Pets expansion, your sims can become jockeys and horse breeders. In countless iterations and expansion packs, what those lives can look like has been reinvented over and over. The Sims franchise is all about simulating and playing out the lives of individual fictional people.
