I'm sure many of us have played more than our fair share of games with horses and more often than not they tend to be terrible with regards to their controls. I think it got to the point where it was just something to expect and very few games have really made it a joy to use.
And then Elden Ring came out and made me think about them once again. This game has given me very little reason to complain about it's design. It's quick to get on and off of it. It reacts exactly as I expect it to and I can even be right at the very edge of a cliff facing the drop and immediately turn around without it moving forward and making me fall. I think this latter part is really what tipped me off about how great it really is. It even traverses the landscape quite well and can take a decent fall.

Anyone have any actual complaints about the horse that I haven't noticed?
