Horse games have a reputation—a fairly earned one, I'm sad to say—for being bad. If they're horse-accurate, they're ugly. If they're pretty, they're boring. If they're highly anticipated, they're buggy and unsupported. Horse enthusiast gamers have been burned before and often left half-fulfilled by the latest horse games. Horse courier sim The Legend of Khiimori launched in early access this week and this might finally be the equine experience that horse gamers deserve.
Normally I'd go to developer and critic Alice Ruppert, known horse gamer spokesperson, for an expert opinion. She's done consulting on Khiimori though, so for a more neutral view I've instead called upon another equestrian correspondent: livestreamer, Red Dead Redemption 2 horse posse wrangler, and professional horse photographer Chelsea Farace.
