  • The game suffers from various bugs and performance issues, including lag during races and problems with controller tracking.
  • Many players find the locomotion options limited and the controls for horse steering to be tricky, leading to frustration during gameplay.

  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users finding them cute but ultimately below average and in need of improvement. Complaints include a lack of performance settings, basic visuals, and a choppy appearance, especially when compared to other platforms and racing games. Overall, players are hoping for a visual upgrade and more customization options to enhance the graphical experience.

    • “I think it's super cute; the graphics hit nicely.”
    • “I'd love to see the option to beef up the graphics for those with capable hardware.”
    • “I hope that at least settings for graphics and performance are added as I feel like that's a pretty important thing to have.”
    • “The only thing holding this game back is the lower graphics quality, which makes the game look a little choppy, and the fact that this version is neglected compared to PC and mobile versions.”
    • “Overall, the graphics are below average and need a visual upgrade.”
    • “I don't understand why I need to buy an RTX 3080 for this game, where there is nothing but soap graphics.”
  • gameplay
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is immersive with high-quality horse mechanics, but it ultimately falls short of modern standards, leading to a repetitive experience. The core loop of racing, earning money, and breeding new horses is engaging initially, but the simplicity and arcade-like nature of the mechanics can make races feel unexciting over time. While the game offers some depth, it lacks the polish and engagement found in other racing titles.

    • “It is immersive to me, high-quality horses and mechanics as always from PikPok.”
    • “The core gameplay loop is: win races → earn money → breed/train a new horse → repeat.”
    • “The mechanics for flat racing are arcadey, simple, and exciting.”
    • “They serve their purpose for gameplay, but they fall short of modern standards.”
    • “The core mechanics are okay, but races become repetitive and unengaging fairly quickly.”
    • “Compared to other racing games (four wheels vs four legs), this one falls short in graphics, sound, and mechanics.”
  • story
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is perceived as linear and simplistic, with some users suggesting it feels AI-generated due to its presentation through basic dialogues and voiceovers. Overall, the narrative does not seem to engage players deeply, leaving a mixed impression.

    • “Some simple dialogs are presented through portraits, text, and voiceover — feels linear and, honestly, the story seems AI-generated (ChatGPT, perhaps?).”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been criticized for being severely lacking, with players experiencing significant performance drops that render it unplayable, particularly during the tutorial. Additionally, the absence of graphics and performance settings limits users' ability to address these issues, highlighting a need for improvements in this area.

    • “Yet, for some reason, this game is completely unplayable on my PC - as soon as I got to my first race, the performance dropped heavily and I wasn't able to complete the tutorial or do anything because of how bad it was lagging.”
    • “The worst part is that there aren't any graphics or performance settings I could find in the game, so there was basically nothing I could do about it!”
    • “I hope that at least settings for graphics and performance are added, as I feel like that's a pretty important thing to have.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers feel that the atmosphere could be enhanced by the inclusion of wildlife or animals, such as dogs, to create a more vibrant and lively environment.

    • “The ambient sounds and visuals create an immersive atmosphere that draws you in.”
    • “The lighting and environmental details contribute to a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere.”
    • “The game's atmosphere is rich and engaging, making every moment feel alive.”
    • “A dog or some wildlife roaming around would add life and atmosphere.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find that the grinding aspect of the game is relatively manageable, with the main content being completed in under six hours. However, some express concern over the high costs associated with certain activities, such as breeding, which can be quite steep.

    • “In less than 6 hours, I completed all the content available at the moment. Even farming for gold wasn't much of an issue, but breeding 6 and 6 costs more than 600k, which is really hefty.”
    • “The grinding feels excessive and tedious, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
    • “After just a few hours, I realized that the grind is repetitive and lacks meaningful rewards.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While players appreciate the functionality of horses in the game, they report significant bugs that detract from the overall experience, leading many to question the game's value at its current price point.

    • “Horses are great and work well, but the game is far too buggy to be worth 20 dollars.”
