The story aspect of the game is generally appreciated for its engaging quests and character interactions, allowing players to explore the world of Jorvik while improving their riding skills and caring for their horses. However, many users express frustration over the limited number of quests available, long wait times for new quests, and the need for more diverse and challenging storylines. Overall, while the game offers a fun and immersive experience, players desire more content and flexibility in quest availability to enhance their gameplay.
“The player's task in the game is to do quests and protect Jorvik from harm, meet characters and help them, unlock new areas, and all the while improve their riding skills and strengthen the bond they have with their horse.”
“I love SSO; it's my favorite game ever! I love horses and the storyline is so detailed and entertaining.”
“I love the gameplay because you also play Star Stable and play with other people and do other quests. You can talk to other people; they can also help you if you are stuck. It is so much fun, and you can also do horse riding shows and get picked to be the winner against other people and your friends!”
“It's boring, there's not really much to do, the quests always say 'your horse is too tired.'”
“I really am mad at this game right now because I was just on level four and it made me start all over again so that was really annoying but I like playing the game; it was just that was really annoying and also what I hate is that you can only do quests every 24 hours so it takes you even longer to level up.”
“The only downside is that you can complete all of the daily quests in about 5 minutes, so not much to do.”

The monetization aspect of the game is mixed, with many users appreciating the lack of intrusive ads and the presence of in-app purchases that unlock additional content. However, some players express frustration over high prices for these purchases and the inability to recover them if the app is deleted. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, there are calls for more balanced monetization practices and additional free content.
“I enjoy playing this and it has no ads!”
“The best part is, is that there's no ads!”
“I suggest getting it, the prices of in-game purchases are low.”
“The downside is that you cannot make an account on it, so if you make an in-app purchase and you delete the app or get a new phone, that is hard-earned cash going down the drain.”
“What this should have said is you get to level 10 all fine, but then you have to pay some of the most extortionate prices for kids' in-app purchases I have ever seen.”
“So much monetization, and a fairly useless (also monetized) gardening feature that has zero impact on leveling up your horses.”

Players express a deep emotional connection to the game, highlighting both joy and heartbreak. While the stunning graphics and the experience of riding horses evoke dreams and excitement, the requirement to purchase in-game items often leads to feelings of disappointment and sadness, particularly for those unable to afford them. The emotional impact is significant, with many players sharing experiences of crying over the game's limitations and their longing for a more accessible experience.
“But once you finish leveling your horse, you have to buy it. I cried so much.”
“Hello, the graphics of the game are absolutely amazing. It was my dream to be able to explore Star Stable and ride my horse as fast as the wind could take me. I have been dreaming about entering the game, and others have dreamed about it too. Please, dear Star Stable, make the payment for entering the game free, just for one month at least. Some people's parents don't allow their children, even on their birthdays, which is really heartbreaking for them and it ruins their whole mood.”
“I was having so much fun, then when the time came to get my horse, it was star coins and I did not have star coins. Then I cried myself to sleep. 😭😴”
