Love this game! Highly recommend it! This game is amazing. It's visually beautiful. The animals, buildings and scenery all look amazing. Absolutely loving the sky in the spooky update! The dlc are all great and really add to the game. The vet clinic is my favourite, love healing the animals then re-homing, it's satisfying. Only negatives I've found are a couple of bugs here and there; - Furniture being invisible. eg. Wide cupboard. minor/not game breaking - Feed and water troughs being invisible and not letting the horses use them which then makes them ill/get taken away - Bright white flash when washing the horses now and again - Animals getting stuck and not being able to interact or move them - Medicines and testing equipment disappear/move from the cupboards when going to the park/horse yard. Creating a mess when you get back - Not sure if it's a bug but the horses get dirty really quickly when housed in the vet clinic even the level 3 clinic Possible suggestions to add to the game: - Foals - new medical things to treat - Other shelters eg. Farm animals, Rodents, Reptiles - Grass field for horses to roam in Cannot recommend this game enough!
