The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Roach is Geralt’s trusty companion, and he makes traversing the Continent much, much easier.
The Witcher 3, like similar games, does allow for fast travel, but many missions require Roach to get the player to a location quickly.
Again, like in similar open world games, the player’s horse can be summoned on command when the player wishes – making Roach a helpful method of travel which can be accessed almost instantly.
Roach also makes for a welcomed company in longer, lonelier missions as Geralt fights monsters and men alike.
Although horse riding is a bit less fluid than in some other games mentioned here, traveling across the Continent on horseback is still practical and generally a breeze.
Axii, one of Geralt’s abilities, can also be used on wild horses and will make them rideable until they despawn.
