Free Roblox game

Horse World is a free experience for Roblox created by Virtuality World. The game has been around since 2017 and has garnered a fan base of over a million players. If you enjoy horses and running around a vast and beautiful landscape, you’ll enjoy Horse World. However, if you prefer games with objectives or assets to interact with, this probably isn’t the game for you. 

Roblox is saturated with games that have a lot for you to do. Whether you want to participate in a role-playing experience or simply run around shooting things, Roblox likely has an experience tailored to your needs. If you want to play pretend in a world designed around pet adoption, try Adopt Me. If you’d instead simply like to shoot at various targets, give Sniper Simulator by SharpDressedMan a go. 

Beautiful surroundings

Horse World has three worlds for you to choose from. The first is a small map of a fairly rural environment, the second is a more modern stable-type layout, and the third map is built to look like a fantasy world. The third map is the biggest and features all sorts of locations such as sky islands, lava fields, and watery landscapes. 

The environments of these three separate worlds are quite striking to look at and fun to explore – for a while. However, even the most beautiful vistas can’t make up for shallow gameplay.

Shallow gameplay

Horse World is a largely dead environment. This means that there is nothing to interact with, no matter which world you choose. Apart from dynamic water animations, the worlds are dead and static. Another drawback of Horse World is that there is nothing to do. 

Essentially, the purpose of the game is to run around and pretend to be a horse. While the concept of playing a role has always required some measure of imagination, it feels lazy on the part of the developer to leave players to have to play pretend because the world isn’t fleshed out enough. 

Roleplay doesn’t have to be boring

Role-playing games have always had an element of imagination. However, just because a game is listed as a role-playing experience, doesn’t mean that the experience has to rely entirely on your imagination. This is especially true in the digital world. 

Unfortunately, Horse World isn’t fleshed out enough to be a good game, and it lacks far too much in terms of gameplay to be a compelling role-playing experience.
