This is a SINGLE PLAYER review, not a multiplayer one. Controller User (PS5) | Linux OS This is an edit of the review I wrote before the recent physics and stability updates. I no longer have issues with crashing, just screen lag when I get an achievement. Pros: [*] This game can be enjoyed solo or multiplayer or anywhere inbetween. I played solo for awhile, then turned on multiplayer but hide chat so the world is 'populated', and have been very happy with this. [*] Races aren't crowded. It's just you, your horse, the timer and the trail. [*] Balance of suspense with no combat mechanics. There's the horror without the 'escape before you die' pressure, and no cheap jump scares. [*] This game is divine with a controller. As someone who rides, the controls felt surprisingly realistic and intuitive, and didn't require a learning curve. [*] Stats system is balanced. You can 'feel' the difference when you lean gear for agility vs endurance, etc.. and puts motivation behind upgrading gear. [*] Animations for the horses are immersive. Visible transitions between gaits, horse can walk while you're mounting, and being able to passively eat grass and drink water while the player is dismounted adds a level of immersion. [*] Reputation grinds and item collection. Running around collecting items for reputation, upgrades, etc are an excuse to ride your horse through the woods or along the beach. Turn on the radio, they did a great job with the mix. [*] Your horse girl/boy is confrontational, not a push over and has justified crash outs. You don't play a character who walks on glass for their reputation, you play a character willing to throw hands with the police. Cons: These all keep in mind this game is still receiving updates. [*] The humans are uncanny valley. I appreciate prioritizing the horses and smooth animations, but the rider models are stiff and expressionless. Related, I play a male character and the eyelashes look like 2 sets of stacked extensions. [*] No varied seats for english vs western style saddles. It's a little weird seeing posting in a western saddle. [*] There's no animals in the woods. Birds flying from bushes as you pass or the deer bounding away, organic wildlife stuff would do a lot. Related, weather would be real cool. [*] NPCs are uncomfortably static. Day or night, 24/7, there the townspeople stand. The bellows at the blacksmith sound in the background as the blacksmith stares into the abyss. Please devs, release them from their vigil. [*] Microtransactions. It's not play to win and the lifetime pass is cheap, but the in game horse prices are steep, especially when the store is the ]only way to add new horses to your stable. Give us storyline quests for horses through the rehab center or something instead please! And to the argument that the game isn't finished but still costs money... I DON'T CARE. This game has more than enough features to ask a $15. There are PLENTY of games in this price range that bring nothing new to the table and are less loved by the devs. You can tell work and passion is put into this game, and updates are promising. Community support for this game is incredible. There are already lots of comprehensive guides, and both players and devs are active in forums. As someone who loves horses as well as gore, horror and a good storyline, I found this game the perfect combination. If you enjoyed riding around on a horse in Skyrim or Breath of the Wild, and/or enjoyed the competition racing in Rival Stars, you will enjoy this game. This game brings something new to the table for open world equestrian gamers.
If StarStable Online and Life is Strange had a child, it would be this game. I see a lot of potential in this game and hope that the storyline continues to be just as exciting as it has been so far and doesn’t completely fizzle out at some point, like it did in StarStable. The game is just at its beginning so of course there are a lot of unfinished aspects - but i think it took a strong start so far. What’s great so far: - The landscape graphics are very beautiful and realistic, i enjoy to just ride around - Finally, a horse game aimed at young adults rather than children What I’d still like to see the most: - Expanded horse training options, e.g., targeted agility training, dressage exercises, etc. - More liveliness in the game world, e.g., NPCs that don’t just sit around but move through the world, wild animals, etc. - The ability to replay story quests without losing your actual progress, to bridge the gaps between story updates and so that players don’t lose track of the story - More diverse options in character customization
WHY YOU MIGHT WANT TO PLAY Equinox: Homecoming The world is beautiful. The horses are beautiful.* Even your character can be beautiful. The riding is pure joy. On the strength of all that, I recommend the game. ❤ Game has a lovely community. Drama seems very rare compared to some other games. ❤ The any-comers trail rides (just riding together with 10 - 40 girls for nothing but the scenery, the serenity of the clip-clopping of the hooves, and the pleasure of each other's company) are flat-out the best part of the game. ❤ I like the main story, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses. The pacing is decent. The way the main quest interlocks with the introductions of the NPCs and with the side-plots is good. That said, the dialog (most of which is not voiced, btw) could have stood to be proofread by a native speaker, and sometimes on the scene level, some characters (including the player character) act somewhat oddly. In other words, the story idea and most of the beats are great, but let down by the actual writing. [Update: Chapter 4 has since been released, including some stuff that wasn't there in EA, and it's a doozy. Everybody loves it. Looking forward to chapter 5! ❤] ❤ The game-world is beautiful and varied. [Update: The additional "Scenic Rides" maps now have resources, and can be explored with a private group of up to 10 (before: 4), or, newly, in public mode. Nice!] ❤ The game has some mild competitive and/or PvP elements. There's solo racing with a leader-board where different races favor different strengths (jumps, raw speed, tight turns, etc.). There's the "crown chase" where you tag someone wearing a crown to steal it, and then try to keep that crown away from everybody else. Whoever had the crown the most seconds wins. This may be your thing, or not — I'm not normally a PvP girl at all, but the crown chase has really grown on me. It's a good mix of skill, luck, and setting up your horse favorably that gets you the gold. WHY YOU MIGHT NOT - The side quests and weeklies are fig leafs to motivate a ride from X to Y, with the rest of the quest being pretty much, "Press E to pick up" and "Press E to deliver" (or similar). I like that just fine — more time spent doing the thing we like, riding! —, but some may feel that it makes the quests/mechanics too shallow. [Historical: The game was a bit rough around the edges on release, and there are still things that need a bit of polish, but we keep getting fixes and quality-of-life improvements at such a rate that I'm retiring this caveat.] [Historical: The initial gear upgrade system in particular was terrible; we complained, Blue Scarab listened, it's much better now. Thanks, Blue Scarab! ❤] NEUTRAL * The horses are beautiful to me, but I'm also like, "Do you have one in black? Well, alright, then!" Some people who have VERY specific ideas about coat patterns are asking for more options. You know best where you fall on that spectrum. (The game started with a variety of Dutchies, then added Friesians, and now the first Arabian's arrived. There will be no breeding, by the way.) - Fashion/hair options are still a bit limited, but workable — I'm very happy with my character, and with my horses' tack. VERDICT: "Buy if you love horses" I love the game and the community, and I'm continuously shocked at how well the developers communicate and roll out bug-fixes. I would absolutely recommend the game to people who love to ride, especially if they are looking for a game not aimed at children, or longing for more premium graphics. (More so considering how cheap the game is at present!)
This game is so refreshing because its not your typical horse game. Its not just caring, riding, training, showing, unlocking more horses and coats etc. Its got a storyline. The storyline is very dark and mature so it is definitely a different type of horse game and for that I am hooked. The devs actively update and actually listen to the community which nowadays i feel is rare. The animations are quite solid and I am obsessed with the horse sound effects. The quests and the cutscenes are great too. Can't wait for future updates. <3
Incredibly stunning and getting better every week. The devs and CEO hang out and join events like trail rides, wedding ceremonies and cult sacrifices. They're down to earth and listen to the players. The ambience and music create a unique experience and a robust character creation and cosmetic collection make it immersive and fun to progress. I get excited to log on and try out a new outfit to show my friends. The players are the nicest of any gaming community I've ever been in. I play ever day and never get bored :3
