Witcher 3 Horse Girl Game Theory Perfectly Shown In Animal Crossing Comic

screenrant.com:

Through an excellently drawn crossover comic between The Witcher 3 and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the artist explains the realization they had that The Witcher 3 is actually a “horse girl game.” The game in question here, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, is widely regarded as one of the greatest RPGs of all time and was developer CD Projekt Red’s claim to fame. The Witcher 3 is known for the many options it gives its players, from action-packed monster fights to more relaxed quests and side hustles.

What makes a good RPG isn’t necessarily combat or exploration, but the optional choices. Ideally, the player can choose to tackle the game in any way they like, be that swinging a sword at everything they see, or not swinging a sword at all. Or, as some players have chosen to do, playing through all of The Witcher 3 in a bath towel. This can give some of the best RPGs immense replay value because there are so many various ways to play. Some RPGs do focus on combat, the choice comes into play in how the characters progress. Some games, like The Witcher 3, Skyrim, and even Breath of the Wild, throw in more mechanics like foraging for supplies and crafting.

In a post to Reddit, bonerfly explains that their wife created this comic after a conversation enlightened their understanding of why they enjoyed playing The Witcher 3. The term “horse girl game” isn’t exactly clear, but it is applied to both Animal Crossing: New Horizons and The Witcher 3, two games that might not always be thought of as similar. As the comic explains, both games feature mechanics for harvesting herbs, crafting items, completing quests, and making friends, which are drawn in the perfect crossover style.
