Racing Games Steam users obsessed with a pink horse girl sent so many kilograms of grass to the real horse she's based on that it broke the food donation website: "It's very crowded right now"

Racing Games Someone actually did it: an Umamusume player got so into horse girls that they "bought a racehorse" for £6,000 a year, says she "mostly reminds me of Gold Ship"

Racing Games Move over, Skyrim grandma, because Japan's "legendary horse grandpa" with "40 years of horse racing experience" got a whole new fandom thanks to Umamusume: "This game is at a high level"

Racing Games Horse girl gacha gamers are so obsessed with pink racer Haru Urara that the farm that owns the real-life horse she's based on, who never won a single race, had to respond

Simulation Games Steam faces a stampede: horse girl game Umamusume: Pretty Derby is "actual cinema," and a massive hit on PC with 5,000 overwhelmingly positive reviews after a week

Roguelike Games Behold, the unlikely but 95% positively reviewed challenger to Steam's anime horse girl empire: "A roguelite training game where you raise a dragon girl who eats anything"

Racing Games Fan of Steam's latest gacha craze Umamusume: Pretty Derby sacrifices brand new fridge to his sociopathic horse girl who's only winning third place: "She's a late bloomer"

Racing Games Umamusume players hold a digital funeral for Grass Wonder, the real, 30-year-old racehorse behind one of the game's beloved anime horse girls: "May you eat dandelions in heaven"

Action RPGs With censorship swirling, devs of polarizing anime RPG Blue Archive say Steam delay "was unrelated to the game's content" and there were "no modifications or censorship of the content specifically for Steam approval"

Simulation Games Cozy life sim Hello Kitty Island Adventure adds puny little dustball with no prospects, and I would cry from joy if I weren't so afraid of melting her bones into smaller, more miniscule pieces of dust: "Peak has returned"

Accessories I adore the Asus Evangelion PC line, but these anime series deserve the same treatment

Action RPGs Starving husband collectors declare victory as Zenless Zone Zero adds a buff furry guy with pecs so big they jiggle like pudding: "I’ll take 6 of them, thank you"

Action RPGs One day after launch, the top 30 "adult" Stellar Blade mods have over 350,000 downloads on Nexus Mods, which isn't far off what Nier Automata has after 8 years

RPGs 'Zelda but a life sim' RPG Fantasy Life i sells 1 million copies, and there's a new update with improved graphics for Switch 2 and the improved camera everyone's been hoping for

Action RPGs "They're not even hiding it": Advancements in gooner technology inflict humanity with a Zenless Zone Zero short rivaling Quentin Tarantino's obsession with feet
