Equestriad World Tour vs Shelter 2
Equestriad World Tour
Equestriad World Tour is a mobile horse game that was just recently launched, and boy! What a horse game it is! Giving other popular mobile horse games a run for their money, this new title features gorgeously-rendered horses that you can unlock as you level up, fun horse care-related mini-games, and most interestingly, multiplayer-based horse events including dressage, cross country and show jumping.Besides events, horse care is another vital aspect of the gameplay mainly because not only it is the right thing to do, but also your horse can get a nice stat boost if it is well taken care of. There are 4 parts to horse care, which include the usual like washing your horse, brushing it down, cleaning the hooves and giving it treats. However, note that your horse doesn’t like you cleaning certain parts of its body, and if you insist on doing so, you may risk reducing the bond you have with it, in addition to increasing its temper. You wouldn’t want to (attempt) to ride an angry horse, trust me.
To put it simply, Equestriad World Tour is exactly what a horse game should be! The game puts a lot of focus on horse care and on events, ensuring a nice balance between the well-being of your horse and your need to become the best equestrian there is! The game is still new though and although some players might be disappointed with the limited selection of horses available or that they could only own up to 2 horses, know that more is likely to come.
Shelter 2
Shelter 2 is a simulation/RPG where you play as a lynx, an animal that lives out on the cold tundra and is somewhere in the middle of the food chain. In this game, you start as a pregnant lynx who's looking for a safe space to give birth and rear your cubs. You'll get to experience parenthood from the perspective of an animal and the experience can be pretty immersive thanks to the many maternal and hunting features available, including calling the cubs to move closer to you and smelling the air for any prey nearby. The game is a lot richer in terms of its diversity than the original game as well, and you'll get access to a lot more movements and jumps, giving you the range of movements you'd come to expect for a graceful animal like the lynx.Although the graphics here may be an acquired taste, Shelter 2 is still a masterpiece of a game and is definitely the sort of game you'll want to play if you love playing animal games where you're placed in the paws of said animal.
