graphics4 positive mentions
stability4 negative mentions
  • The game offers deep, realistic horse breeding and training mechanics, including detailed dressage principles and genetics.
  • The solo developer is highly engaged and responsive to the community, frequently releasing updates and fixing bugs.
  • The game features a unique focus on dressage with immersive riding controls and diverse gameplay elements such as ranch management, breeding, showing, crafting, and vet care.
  • The game is still in early access with numerous bugs, technical issues, and unfinished content, leading to frustrating moments and quest blockers.
  • Controls and camera mechanics are often described as clunky, unintuitive, or difficult to use, especially on PC.
  • The graphics and animations, particularly the human models and environments, are considered rough or unpolished by many players.

  • story

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story offers a relatable and engaging equestrian experience but is significantly hampered by numerous bugs, clunky quest design, and lack of meaningful NPC interactions. Quest progression often feels repetitive and unclear, leading to frustration with being stuck on certain objectives. Overall, the story feels shallow and unfinished, detracting from immersion despite its potential.

    • “The game's storyline feels relatable and gives the player the chance to live the equestrian dream!”
    • “The quest dialogue is playful and emulates the beginning of the experience.”
    • “Took me a good 5 minutes to figure out what to do; needs better beginner tutorials and quests that are better explained.”
    • “The quest system is very clunky and unfinished.”
    • “The quest progression doesn't fully match player progression, so you're stuck retrying certain things hoping it'll check off the quest.”
    • “Desperately needs NPC interaction instead of one-liner quest lines. It becomes a lot of ‘next’ and markers, so new players don't know what place the quest is speaking of.”

  • gameplay

    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its unique and realistic dressage, riding, and breeding mechanics, offering a complex yet accessible training system. However, it currently suffers from bugs, repetitive loops, and some unintuitive elements, with the early access state requiring further polish and improvements.

    • “I love all of the mechanics and the breeding is very realistic!”
    • “Despite being in early access, I'm yet to find a game with so many different mechanics and such a good breeding system.”
    • “The gait and dressage mechanics are so unique and cool!”
    • “The gameplay loop feels a bit repetitive after several hours, with limited ability to engage in activities like riding the dressage test instead of just clicking the 'show' button.”
    • “There is very little gameplay and what is currently available is bugged and unintuitive.”
    • “There are bugs affecting core gameplay elements, such as a quest requiring your horse to be under 20 stress when putting it away after training, which did not work properly.”

  • graphics

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics receive mixed reviews, with praise for the detailed and realistic horses but criticism for flat environments, stiff animations, and overall lack of polish. While some users find the visuals smooth yet basic or rough, many see significant potential if the graphical elements and character animations were better refined.

    • “The horses are stunningly well done, showcasing the game's potential despite some technical aspects needing fine tuning.”
    • “The graphics and horse style are appealing, with horses visibly changing shades when greying, and mares realistically looking pregnant.”
    • “If the great realistic riding, fun lessons concept, and graphics from that game were combined with this game's more complete world and training goals, it would be the perfect game.”
    • “The visuals are rough and unappealing.”
    • “Graphics, UI, and animation definitely need to be improved; character walking and running are stiff and slow.”
    • “Graphics can be hit or miss: lovely environments but flat trees; the human figure isn't overly realistic.”

  • stability

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game currently suffers from significant bugs, including quest progression blocks, world boundary issues, and buggy horse mechanics, resulting in an unfinished and unstable experience. However, active developer support and frequent updates offer hope for improved stability in the future.

    • “It's super buggy and you can't get past the tractor quest because you can't pick up the tractor part that you're supposed to retrieve.”
    • “I do not recommend it in its current state for the price, as you cannot even get past that quest. It feels very early and unfinished, more like a demo. The game world border is incomplete—you can fall off the world. Horses in the paddocks are buggy, and sometimes your horse disappears when you put it back; you have to refresh the location for it to reappear.”
    • “Definitely still buggy, but that's to be expected in an early access game.”

  • optimization

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game currently suffers from poor optimization on PC, with controls and GUI designed primarily for mobile, making gameplay difficult. Users recommend waiting for improved PC optimization and further development before playing.

    • “I highly recommend waiting until the game is more optimized and fixed <3 I really am excited to see the game grow and get fixed up. It is an amazing job the dev has done so far!”
    • “I have very little play time in the game because it is just too difficult to play on PC; controls and GUI are intended for the mobile version and have not yet been optimized for PC play.”
    • “I will likely come back to purchase this game when it has been optimized for PC and has been developed more.”

  • music

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the music aspect lacking, noting limited sound options and the inability to adjust or customize audio settings in-game, which detracts from the overall experience.

    • “Need to work on sound and music.”
    • “The music can only be turned off in the main menu.”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game involves farming activities like harvesting hay and oats, expanding property with more barns and paddocks, and purchasing tack and riding clothes. Players can also care for horses through vet visits, buy imported horses, and participate in trail rides, providing varied and engaging tasks beyond repetitive grinding.

  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers strong replayability, surpassing many higher-priced early access titles in terms of continued engagement and play value.
