   This is a great family couch multiplayer game that’s got very simple mechanics that even my 5 year old can win races sometimes, and my 9 year old hasn’t stopped since we rented it. Everyone in the house loves it! My daughter loves winning new customizations, and I like breeding to make a custom coat color that looks just how I want. That said, it is definitely NOT a game for everyone. I don’t think adults would enjoy it as much without younger players, because there are no stats or extra features to upgrade like a normal racing game. it’s very simple controls, there are no “go” or “brake” buttons, and jumping is done automatically. Drifting, steering, and power up items are all you really control. It does not have online compatiblility either, just local. This game is a port from a mobile version, and you can tell in spots like breeding that it used to have microtransactions. Thankfully that has been removed and you don’t have limits on playing. However the price feels high for a previously free mobile game. I’d say my few gripes are: 1. the stable for horses you’ve bred is small, so you have to constantly delete horses in order to make new ones. Maybe there’s an eventual barn upgrade we haven’t earned yet, not sure, but we’ve got fairly far and no hint of extended stable. 2. there’s NO documentation really, nothing but a 1 minute tutorial at the start. the loading screens will tell you a bit about what each potion does during races, but it took us awhile to figure out how to earn more horses, hair colors, saddles or bridles etc. (hint, it’s the tournaments, which CAN be done solo or multiplayer. They look multiplayer only at first). I spent a lot of time trying to power through the campaign mode, thinking it would unlock more than just a few horses, but most actually come from the tournaments. So, if your expectations are low, and you have kids who just like simple racing or enjoy horse creation without overwhelming options, this is a REALLY addictive Mario kart style horse game. If you want something more challenging & more controls, you probably would be happier with a legit horse racer sim. I give it 8/10 stars because for what it IS, we love it!! Needs patched : the more players you have, the game (at least on the switch) does start to lag and visibly struggle with the multiplayer inputs, and keeping up with where 3+ people are in the race. 2 seems to run okay, 3 – 4 players pushes it into nearly unplayable. hopefully an update fixes that!
