Are you like me - an adult woman who grew up with mid to terrible horse games and for so long craved that perfect escape for your inner equestrian? Well you are finally here! You've made it! My embarrassingly large amount of game hours aside, this game fulfills everything my inner child wished for: - Countless color combinations - Fun riding competitions - Trails to explore - Foraging for ingredients for crafting - Wild horses to catch - Horses care system including illnesses, grooming, and feeding - Breeding system and the absolute cutest foal mechanics you'll ever see And that's maybe just half of it! I can now look at my inner child and say, "we made it, kid." But wait, there's more! I've been a member of the discord for around a year and a half, and I cannot express how impressed I am at the level of dedication the developer has to her community. From countless community suggestions she has implemented far too many ideas to name, and thanks to the thriving community and the developer's willingness to be open to ideas, I truly believe Rivershine exceeded what the original plan was. This game has such a wonderful and deep tie to it's fans, and it's going to be so cool that in years to come, I can look back and smile as I'm playing and say, "oh yeah, I suggested that." How. Cool. Is. That?! Do your inner child a favor. Do your current children a favor. Do your friends who love horses a favor. Buy this game. Support this dev. There's none else like it. <3

I think this is hands-down the best horse game there is on the market. Possibly the end of the really long horse-game-curse and so many scams and horse game drama. It´s Different from other horse games, despite being about the same thing as most of them. Yes, a lot of games focus on training/caring for your horse - entering competitions - upgrading your ranch - breeding better horses - repeat. But it is so much more than that as well. It´s cozy, it´s stylized, and it´s especially perfect if you´re like me and you enjoy repetitive tasks. I don´t deviate much from what I consider my "dailies" in the game, but i know I have a lot to explore and discover when I decide I want to! Also, bonus points for having a fast graphics setting that runs well even on my ancient laptop and looks lovely. It is almost guaranteed that your device WILL run this game well.

I've been looking for a decent horse game forever. This game is really, really cute. It's peaceful, it has plenty to do, the horses look great. It's sort of like a nice, cozy game with very pretty horses. I haven't had it long, but it seems like the updates have been pretty regular, and I have not finished all there is to do yet. It's a bit 'slow' to progress through training the horses but that is honestly fine, since I play this kind of game to just relax. I love the breeding and the different coat options that are available, and even in early access I have been pleasantly surprised by how fun this game is. Also, I play it exclusively on Steam deck. It is noted that it may not play perfectly, and that's true but it's mostly fine. I have to use the touch screen to manage a couple of menus, and the keyboard doesn't automatically pop up in a few places, but I have gotten used to those tiny things and it other wise works just fine on the Steam Deck.

This is the horse game that horse people have been waiting for. If you're in the market for a cozy game with a light farming aspect that rewards leisurely exploration through beautiful scenery, this is the game for you. The cross country competitions are fun, although they can get a little bit repetitive, so there's definitely the midgame "grind" aspect seen in a lot of cozy games, but updates with new content are consistent and generally not buggy. The breeding system is cool and I appreciate the amount of customization (both horse tack/appearance and character design) that's been added since I began playing. I do wish there were a couple other riding sports to decrease the show repetitiveness and the game mechanics are such that I think it'd be possible to add show jumping for sure, if not some other types of riding. The seasons are also lovely and add some excitement to the scenery, although it would be cool if it rained or snowed sometimes! Lastly, this is a surprisingly diverse game. The characters all have different backgrounds, which is something severely lacking in the real horse world, but I love that the makers clearly put thought into representation. I really can't recommend this game enough, it's brought me a lot of warmth and happiness during the tumultuous last few years.

Where to begin? I did my research about this game before buying since it isn't completed yet. Usually would never buy a game still in development but I took the risk & I'm more than happy! Pleasantly surprised! I grew up playing all the early 2000s horse games so that's the game play I'm looking for & this game delivered on that in most areas. This is more of a cozy, relaxed game though with a small story line with adorable horses. Pros - Really nice graphics/gorgeous maps, cozy music, LOTS of pretty coat colours, cute tack, horse races with levels easy - advanced, horses mane & tail grows that you can cut, taking care of your horse in the barn with grooming/stall cleaning/feeding, expanding your barn/farm to train/buy horses, the auction house to buy/sell horses, breeding & the adorable foals, training foals/horses, horse pastures, catching wild horses to sell or train, different maps to explore, Rivershine Town with the tack store, general store & town market, different NPCs to interact with for upgrading jumps/training courses & also gardening/selling stuff. Cons - Not enough character customization, keyboard/mouse controls take some getting used too, tiny story line yet good, just wish it was longer/more in-depth, needs the option to hire a stable hand because it's time consuming to care for multiple horses sometimes, not enough tack choices, & while grooming your horse I wish that you could pick it's feet, feel like that's missing since we can only brush. What I'd also like to see in the future is show jumping & dressage! So far it's just cross country races.
