I'm cheating slightly on the price front, as it normally costs £3.39, but it's on sale until June 17th at the moment, so I'm whacking it in anyway. With a simple Steam page description of "It's time to make new friends!", I am immediately enthralled by the prospect of Riding Horse School. Riding Horse School - 33p Image credit: Atomic Fabrik And best of all, we still have £5.60 left in our budget. At long last, my Mario Kart fly-by techniques can be put to good use in another game. I'm also very on board with the fact you can punt nearby racers to slow them down. Who needs horse armour when you can experience the thrill of racing around a 3D racing track against dozens of other jockeys eye-poppingly bright bibs? Sure, the lighting and the physics of your horse's jump might look a little off in the trailer, but tapping its big RACE, BOOST and JUMP buttons repeatedly feels like it should fit right in to the classic Diablo clickathon.

This is merely an exercise in how far you can stretch your money, and also to go on a fun deep dive in a corner of Steam you may not have visited before. I have not played them, nor can I vouch for their quality. I should stress, I'm not advocating people actually buy these horse games. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. After all, why spend upwards of £6 on a pointless cosmetic item when you could feasibly put that money toward 6 whole horse games that have actually dozens of horses in them? So join me as we discover how many horse games you can buy on Steam for the same price as Diablo 4's horse armour. The next morning, I was talking about this daft bit of armour with the RPS Treehouse when Alice0 suddenly introduced me to the weird and wonderful world of cheap horse games on Steam. Ridiculous, I exclaimed, and promptly shut down my PC. £6.39! For a mangey rope bridle and a bone dagger on its side! (You can see it in the header image up top there). And one item for sale was, of course, some fancy horse armour, and it cost six English pounds and thirty nine pence. But I just wanted to see what ludicrous things it was trying to sell me for real human money. I'm not one for cosmetics in any shape or form. Not to actually buy anything, I should stress. When I was logging off the other day, though, I had a fleeting glance at Diablo 4's shop. I'm having a decent, if mildly monotonous time so far, mostly because I haven't unlocked all my Druid's abilities just yet, but I'm keen to keep going with it, mostly because I just like turning into a bear and a wolf every three seconds to whack some evil skelly boys, innit. Like lots of people in the RPS Treehouse right now, I've been squeezing in bits of Diablo 4 around the various Summer Game Fest streams happening this week.
