Horse archers are amazing lmao. If you’re throwing them directly into the front lines they will be fucked several times over. Understand: they are merely archers that can quickly reposition. This makes them one of the best units in the game.
Deploy them to the far flank and reposition them frequently. They are excellent at drawing out the enemy cavalry so you can harass them, hit them with your own cav, etc. Big block of infanty? Harassing fire. Other horse archers? Wait for them to engage your footed archers and then deploy your horse archers to double up on them.
Their weakness, as you’ve noticed, is large blocks of powerful foot archers. That is what your cavalry or heavy infantry is for. Once your other forces engage, then deploy your horse archers. They’re a reserve force and a force multiplier.
It’s chess where I find they’re super op - I mean seriously, the ability to no scope bishops from across the map while moving like a knight is totally unbalanced and the Devs need to too back the update.
I’m going to start with my most played game and work backwards from there. So… K for Kerbal Space Program.
Maybe not the best choice in terms of number of games but I’d still get stuff like
Knights of the Old Republic
King’s Quest
Killer Instinct
Katamari
Kingdom Hearts
Killzone
Kirby
Probably others, but obviously not as extensive as a letter like S or T. Still I would probably opt to pick the letter with my favorite game of all time in there than one that just gives more options.
Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore (Steam, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox X/S)
Arzette is a very specific joke for nerds like me who know too much about the history of video games. It’s designed to look and sound just like a Phillips CD-i Legend of Zelda game; a cursory glance at the credits seems to indicate that someone from Digital Foundry may have consulted on it to get it right. A friend of mine has a CD-i that he allowed me to play some time ago, and you have no idea how badly games like those play, especially on that awful controller. Fortunately, this game plays totally acceptably while still having a slight metroidvania angle to its 2D action platforming levels. It’s got a bit of a slow start, but after that, it doesn’t overstay its welcome, so if you’re in on the joke, you’ll likely have a good time.
Duck Detective: The Secret Salami (Steam, GOG, Switch)
If you liked The Case of the Golden Idol and want more of it ahead of the launch of its sequel, Duck Detective is a miniature version of that that’s suitable for children and still fun for adults. I won’t say it’s quite as good as Golden Idol, and it’s definitely not as long, but it’s priced accordingly, and it’s a good way to spend a weekend afternoon.
Do you like escape rooms or the first Resident Evil? This is that, but unlike Resident Evil, there are no zombies, and to say it has combat would be misleading. It’s a very strange game, but it will test your puzzle solving abilities. I played through it with my wife, and we love escape rooms, but this game would have been much more challenging without the second person offering their perspective on things you might not have noticed, might have forgotten, or thinking about a puzzle a different way than you did. Give or take a few rare instances, the solutions are very rewarding, too. If you’ve got that other puzzle-solving person in your life to play with, I’d highly recommend it (and would probably still recommend it if you don’t).
