Jan. 2025

Ultimately, I enjoyed this game while being disappointed. I wanted more from this game as I really enjoyed most of the games offerings and intent (once I got past the bugs). The breeding was the best part of this game - although the grinding for materials got monotonous, quickly. I just wish the game took off, got more traffic and in turn provided more content therefore making the game better long term.

It's got some quirks (Bugs, really. And quirks.) but it's fun. It nicely scratches the Barbie Horse Adventure itch until the next Red Dead Redemption gets announced.

Dec. 2024

Going to specify right off the bat, I bought this game, DLC and all, for 75% off. Honestly for what the game is I'm glad I did, and after playing through it, and I suppose finishing the game, I can understand why some people aren't happy. I'll start with the positives. The game itself is fun and relaxing to play, at least IMO. I love the graphics, the designs and even the characters. The horses are adorable and while the animations aren't spot-on realistic, they work. I also liked how real the characters felt, and the slight humour they offered. The story itself holds the characters accountable for their actions as well (I dont want to spoil the specific quests I'm referring to lol) Now onto the negatives. I honestly got really mad at this game upon starting it. The jump over the river had me in such a fit, ALL BECAUSE THE GAME WOULDN'T TELL ME MY HORSE WAS STRESSED AND I NEED TO GIVE PATS SO IT WILL SPRINT AND I CAN JUMP. I swear on everything, the game let me fail that jump at least 100 times before telling me this information. My second issue with the game is how annoying it is to have to unlock certain things, even after finishing all the quests I still don't have everything unlocked. The lack of fast travel options is also annoying but not something I'd diss the game for, I'm just lazy. The game itself is also grindy, and lowkey reminds me of a tycoon game you'd find on Roblox or Fortnite. Fortunately my ADHD brain loves that shit so here we are. I honestly do still recommend the game, but I'd say get it on sale as with how short it is I don't think it's worth the original price. I recommend the game based off how simple yet satisfying it is. Once I got passed the negatives I had a genuine good experience. 7/10 overall.

Like every game, there are pros and cons. BUT, I have to say there are more pros than cons when it comes to this game. The story is cute, the horses are very pretty with a lot of variety. The breeding system is well, a breeding system I guess, it's simple but rewarding when you know what you're doing. I like all the different places you can call home, and build on. I did not expect to be able to build SO much stuff lol. One thing i'd have to say is my own personal con is how much back and forth you have to do. There IS fast travel, but its not really to anywhere useful, especially if you're playing the story, i see more use of it after you've beaten the game. Back on the back and forth, its fun the first time or two, like ooo look at my horse and my pretty gear, but that gets old, going back and forth back and forth to places you have to go. There is a lot of lootable things around the map, I would love being able to open a chest from horse back but that's me partly being lazy and partly dreading the questionable dismounting animation, and the split second black screen? I know It seems like I'm complaining a lot, but I had a lot of fun playing this game, and loved taming wild horses and comparing stats. I say this game ON SALE, is worth it, too many bugs and animations that need updated for it to be $30, I paid $17 for deluxe version, and that's about how much I say it would be worth in this state. Anyways try it out, its a cute horse game and with a cute little story, you'll enjoy yourself.

Before reading this review let me explain what I was looking for. I simply wanted to play a normal equestrian game where I could tame, breed and care for horses. Although there are a few good ones many are to fantastical filled with magic and crazy looking horses. I love fantasy but I for once wanted a good equestrian game where it was a bit more realistic not to much fantastical like many. The other thing is I wanna play solo. Multiplayer games can be fun but I love playing game where I don't need to be too social. Introvert games I guess. Yet the most popular and good equestrian games have all that I mention before. This game is the closest I have found that has what i am looking for although for some it leaves much to desire. I will say what things kind of disappointed me about it. Main story was surprisingly short if your thinking of getting this game thinking your going to go deep into story I am sorry it's to short. I kind of expected more. there are not to many NPC so a lot of the world feels barren as some other reviews I've seen. Other things but this is just personally been a bit picky, I wish the farming was a bit more complex I wish more horse breeds where available. A bit more customization. Besides that I love the rest. This is the only horse game that has allow me to have draft horses. Draft horses are my favorite breed of horses and most games don't have that at least for what I've seen. The open world is amazing for a realistic looking horse game this is rare for me. I am a casual player so just having so much space to gallop with my horses is great. The art style and graphics are pretty and so is the music. The fact that I can somewhat create my own horse ranch is also cool that's what I wanted. the caring minigames are very fun although I would like them a bit more challenging. I love that most of it's not all cut scenes you actually have to do something to work. The controls are a bit weird but if practice you get the hang of it. I have and I use my keyboard to play. Overall this game is more for casual gamers then those who wish to have a full blown experience like an triple a games. which some have tried to compare to but I think it's a bit unfair. This game has a lot of potential. I am not sure if the developers will add more to it like adding a bit more story or more areas, but that may take years of work that maybe they aren't interested to add or may not be able to for whatever reason. Regardless of the few details I dislike this is indeed my favorite equestrian/horse game.
