  • The gameplay is mostly bug-free and polished, with a lively world filled with NPCs and animals, enhancing the overall immersion.
  • The controls can be awkward and imprecise, leading to frustration during gameplay, especially with the dressage riding and camera issues.

  • story
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the sequel offers a mix of engaging side quests and activities, expanding on the gameplay from the first game, but it suffers from inconsistencies and a relatively short main narrative, typically taking around 4-13 hours to complete depending on side quests. While some players appreciate the variety and improved quest design, others find the story lacking coherence and filled with fetch quests that detract from the overall experience. Despite its flaws, the game maintains a fun and endearing charm, making it enjoyable for players who appreciate exploration and customization.

    • “The main quest will take you roughly 13 hours to complete while the side quests may take considerably longer due to how difficult some are.”
    • “There has 100% been an attempt to move away from the 'go here, talk to A, go here, talk to B' quest design and the quests are a lot more varied. Another little detail I enjoy is the dialogue choices.”
    • “The new gameplay styles are fun and while the story is a touch cliché and one-note, it's still endearing and fun for a short little adventure.”
    • “The story also doesn't make sense, since the first one didn't want any city-like additions and now the sequel has a town in it.”
    • “The main story is very short, maybe 4-5 hours if you don't do races or side quests along it.”
    • “Cons: story doesn't make any sense.”

    The gameplay in "Horse Club Adventures 2: Hazelwood Stories" is engaging and enjoyable, particularly for younger players, with a variety of customization options and side quests that enhance the sense of progress.

    • “Horse Club Adventures 2: Hazelwood Stories is an adventure game where you ride a horse to participate in competitions and races. You can customize lots of things: your character, your horse, your equipment. The gameplay is okay, the map is nice, and the graphics are pretty.”
    • “The new gameplay styles are fun, and while the story is a touch cliché and one-note, it's still endearing and enjoyable for a short little adventure.”
    • “Gameplay unlikely to appeal to older 'proper' gamers, who actually want to 'game', but Horse Club 2 certainly keeps my daughter highly engaged, and that is what it was for... so 'thumbs up'.”
    • “It also expanded on types of gameplay and the use of side quests outside of just unlocking cosmetics, which I feel adds a nice sense of progress if you take the time to do them as they unlock.”
