  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is generally criticized, with users reporting various bugs, particularly with music and follow mechanics, as well as poor optimization. However, some players express surprise at the quality of horse anatomy and movements, even in a low-poly environment.

    • “Quite buggy and very poorly optimized.”
    • “It's fun to be able to free captive horses, but the follow mechanics can be buggy.”
    • “Edit: I just remembered, the music is a bit buggy at the moment!”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is seen as limited, with some players expressing a desire for more mechanics and less emphasis on survival elements. While the concept of living as a horse and building a herd is appealing, issues like buggy follow mechanics detract from the experience. However, many feel that the game offers enough enjoyment for its low price point.

    • “Almost no one gets how much a lot of people out there want to have a game where we can be the horse and just live our little horsie lives, build our own herd, and have a grand old time without the survival mechanics beating us over the head.”
    • “I think this game has a lot of potential, but it was a bit too limited in mechanics for me, which ultimately led to me refunding it.”
    • “It's fun to be able to free captive horses, but the follow mechanics can be buggy.”
    • “The gameplay is limited, but for $5, it's worth it!”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are visually appealing with a simple style, but performance issues arise at higher settings, leading to lag and high GPU/RAM usage. While medium settings provide a satisfactory experience, lower settings result in distracting visual blurriness. Overall, the graphics are a mixed bag, praised for their aesthetic but criticized for performance limitations.

    • “The movement is good, and the visuals are simple and easy to look at.”
    • “Graphically, I like the style a lot. Though my PC struggled at the higher settings with lag, the medium option was fine, but any lower and the 'blur' in the distance was a little hard on my eyes.”
    • “The game lags after lowering the graphics settings, and it looks really bad on high/medium. The GPU and RAM usage was very high.”
    • “The graphics are outdated and lack detail, making the game feel less immersive.”
    • “I was disappointed with the visual quality; the textures are bland and the character models look poorly designed.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has been reported as somewhat buggy, with players experiencing issues where the music reactivates after being turned off. While the gallop sounds are generally satisfying, many users express a desire for a more reliable option to completely mute the music.

    • “The music is a bit buggy at the moment!”
    • “The gallop sounds are satisfying enough, though an option to completely turn off the music would be nice. Dragging the slider seemed to only temporarily turn off the music, and it would return after a few moments.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has been criticized for being quite buggy and poorly optimized; however, the developers have made efforts to address these performance issues.

    • “To the dev's credit, they did address the performance issues.”
    • “The optimization in this game is impressive, allowing for smooth gameplay even on lower-end systems.”
    • “I appreciate how the developers continuously improve the game's performance with regular updates.”
    • “Quite buggy and very poorly optimized.”
    • “But to the dev's credit, they did address the performance issues.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for lacking engaging objectives, mini-challenges, or quests, which leaves players feeling uninterested and disconnected from the narrative.

    • “There are no objectives, mini-challenges, or quests that keep the game interesting for me.”
    • “The story feels disjointed and lacks a coherent narrative.”
    • “Character development is shallow, making it hard to connect with anyone in the game.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users have noted that the camera mechanics can disrupt immersion, causing discomfort during gameplay, which detracts from the emotional experience. The jarring camera movements, particularly when navigating close to the player horse and herd, can lead to a feeling of unease that overshadows the intended emotional engagement with the game.
