I have been absolutely loving this game. I dont like how long it takes to get the Holiday House unlocked though. Trying to get everything for the Medium Stables took way to long because of not knowing where all the materials spawn at.

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.

Review from a barely-recovered 30-something horse girl. I will preface by saying this game is not for everyone, but it made a nice and cozy binge play for me while sick. The pros: - The horse animation is gorgeous and fluid, and the riding mechanics handle well. - Customising your ranch is a lot of fun, and I love that there are options for multiple homesteads. - The map is expansive, genuinely pretty, and fun to explore (I love the coastal areas!). - While I haven't gotten deep into the breeding aspect, I appreciate the attention to detail and variety of coat colours. - Gorgeous, relaxing soundtrack. The cons: - Definitely glitchy, even on PC, not for those with a low tolerance for jank. - The main quest was short and while cute, felt anticlimactic and like it ended really abruptly from where I expected it may go. - It feels like there was much room for more missions and content with multiple characters (The artist, Pascal, and the smith in particular) and it would have been nice to see more celebration of your achievements at the end of the main quest or tension in the narrative. - The animals add a lovely feeling of life to the landscape, but as common in these kind of games, feels devoid of human life which is kind of eerie in the villages. Again. Common to the genre, but worth pointing out haha Smaller quality of life improvements I would love to see: Fast travel perhaps as a reward for fully exploring map areas so there is still incentive to ride around, a tracker to see which items/treasure chests/fame bubbles remain in a map area, fixing the clipping on the 'mermaid' tack and other similar saddles, and the option to send newly tamed horses straight to the stables. It's clear to see this was made with a lot of ambition and heart, and it's too bad to see it fall shy. It definitely feels like this was pushed out too early, even now in the year of our lord 2024 post-patching. I would have preferred they had spent more rounds in QA to polish, rather than push for pursuing DLC. TLDR: Ultimately I hesitate to say that I would have spent full price on this, but definitely was worth the spring sale investment.

It's a really fun game and it doesn't get boring. There are a lot of things you can do and constantly engage with new challenges and explore more and more of the map. I would definitely recommend this game.
