stability4 negative mentions
  • Deep and realistic horse breeding and dressage mechanics with unique training features and genetics system.
  • Developer is very active, responsive, and dedicated to fixing bugs and improving the game regularly.
  • The game has great potential and solid foundations with engaging gameplay elements like breeding, training, crafting, and an immersive horse management experience.
  • The game is still in early access with many bugs, glitches, and unfinished features leading to frustrating gameplay and progression issues.
  • Controls, camera, and user interface are unintuitive, clunky, and not well optimized, especially for PC players.
  • Game world feels lifeless, repetitive, and visually underwhelming with poor character animations and minimal NPC interactions.
  • story
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story offers a relatable equestrian experience but is significantly hindered by numerous bugs and clunky, unfinished quest mechanics that cause frequent progression roadblocks. NPC interactions are minimal and quests rely heavily on simplistic dialogue and confusing markers, making it difficult for new players to follow. Overall, the narrative feels shallow and underdeveloped, detracting from immersion and enjoyment.

    • “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 NPCs do not interact at all, and the quests are just slides.”
    • “The quest system is very clunky and unfinished.”
    • “The quest progression doesn't fully match with player progression, so you're stuck retrying certain things hoping it'll check off the quest.”
  • gameplay
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers a unique and realistic horse breeding and riding experience with complex mechanics and user-friendly training options, though it currently suffers from bugs, repetitiveness, and a lack of polish due to its early access state. Players appreciate the detailed breeding system and riding mechanics but note issues with quest bugs, flat open world, and limited gameplay content. Continuous developer updates aim to improve the smoothness and depth of the gameplay.

    • “I really love this game and the gameplay style is unique with riding. The gait and dressage mechanics are so unique and cool!”
    • “I love the training mechanics, and how it's not incredibly difficult or long to train up your horse.”
    • “You can ride to train, or just 'send them to training' by pressing a few buttons, making it more user-friendly to all types of players.”
    • “There is a lot of polish still needed, but the developer is continuously working on bug fixes and improving gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay loop feels a bit repetitive after several hours; no ability to show horses beyond clicking the 'show' button; open world feels a bit flat and lacking plot depth.”
    • “There's very little gameplay and what is currently available is bugged and unintuitive.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some praising the appealing horse designs and smooth visuals, while others criticize the flat environments, unrealistic human figures, and overall simplicity. Animations and character movements are often described as stiff or slow, and there is a desire for more detailed and dynamic visual elements to enhance immersion.

    • “The graphics and horse style are appealing, with horses visibly changing shades when greying and mares appearing pregnant.”
    • “If I could mix my favorite elements of that game (great realistic riding, fun lessons concept, graphics) with the more complete world and training goals of this game, it would be the perfect game in my opinion.”
    • “The graphics may not be the best but the core game loop is well done.”
    • “The visuals are rough and unappealing.”
    • “Graphics, UI, and animation definitely need to be improved; character walking and running is stiff and slow.”
    • “The graphics can be hit or miss: lovely environments but flat trees, and the human figure isn't overly realistic.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game currently suffers from significant stability issues, including critical bugs that block progress in quests, missing game boundaries that allow falling off the map, and buggy horse mechanics. While these problems lead to an unfinished, early-access feel, the developer's active efforts to address bugs provide hope for future improvements.

    • “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 just do not recommend it at the state right now for the price at the moment as you cannot even get past that quest. Also, it is very early and unfinished feeling, more like a demo to be fair. Issues with the game's border are not complete as you can fall off the world. Also, horses in the paddocks are buggy and sometimes your horse will disappear when you put it back, then you have to go back and forth to refresh that location so your horse shows up!”
    • “Definitely still buggy but that's to be expected in an early access game.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game currently lacks proper optimization for PC, with controls and GUI still tailored to the mobile version, making gameplay difficult. Users recommend waiting for improved PC optimization and further development before purchasing.

    • “I highly recommend waiting until the game is more optimized and fixed. I am really excited to see the game grow and improve. The dev has done an amazing job 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 yet to be 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 lacking and express frustration with limited audio settings, noting that music can only be turned off from the main menu. Overall, the sound and music aspects need improvement for a better 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 barns and paddocks, and managing horse care through vets and feed stores. Players can also purchase tack, riding clothes, and imported horses, with ongoing additions to customization options. These tasks create a varied but potentially repetitive routine centered around horse management and property expansion.

  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the game highly replayable, noting it offers more value and playtime compared to many pricier early access titles.
