In Horses, a controversial new game by Santa Ragione that’s been banned from several PC gaming storefronts, that struggle mutates into surreal horror. Platforms, including Steam and Epic Games Store have only offered vague rationality for why exactly Horses was banned, and apparently have not responded to developer Santa Ragione’s appeals, leading many observers to wonder just how offensive the game really is. (Humble Games also briefly pulled the game from its store on Dec. 3, but relisted it hours later after reevaluating its content.) After playing through it, yes, Horses certainly goes places — and presents some uncomfortable imagery — but nothing so scandalous that feels worthy of a total ban.
