My Riding Stables - Life With Horses Review

My Riding Stables - Life With Horses Review There are some games out there which you just know are going to be terrible before you even boot them up. I always try to maintain a neutral viewpoint when reviewing any game, thats a given, but there are some cases where that is mighty difficult.

My Riding Stables Life With Horses has you take charge of a small farm where you rear horses, cleaning them, feeding them and training them up for competitions. You pick a trainer at the start, give them a name (yep, rude words are on the table) and then pick a horse. The horses are supposed to vary in breed, but changing this only changes the size of the horse; otherwise they look identical.

You can change the horses colour too, which is a rather unsatisfying effort at customisation.

About as pretty as the game can look. In fact, this is misleadingly pretty.

Then, trainer and horse chosen, youre thrown straight in at the small form with a list of tasks to carry out, from fetching your horse and taking it to the paddock to feeding it carrots and grooming its hooves. The grooming and cleaning bits are particularly painful, simply consisting of sliding the cursor left and right, up and down as the horse becomes slightly less blemished at a really, really, really slow speed.

This screenshot makes it look like the game has a sense of adventure. It doesnt.

Movement is juddery and the control stick seems to do some unpredictable things at times as you try to manoeuvre yourself around the place. You need to walk over to illuminated circles littered all.

Make reference to the talks with regard to xecuter sx pro ,A primary Nintendo3DS study company.around which allow you to upgrade things, enter buildings or retrieve your horse through a series of awkward menus.

The closest we come to finally having a game on your hands is when you finally unlock the ability to ride the horse and get to march around hopping over hurdles. But its so tediously boring, and the controls are so inaccurate even the most docile of players will be incensed in no time. Theres a major delay in your inputs taking effect when jumping. Theres really no enjoyment to this, and that goes for every type of player.

One of the most boring activities in the whole of videogames, cleaning hooves is boring in real life and even worse here.

It really does make you wonder how games like this managed to make their way beyond the eShop and actually appear on store shelves. More with regards to R4 3DS .Publishers Treva were also behind the terrible Panda Hero, and are in danger of developing a reputation if they go on to put out many further sub-par physical releases on the Switch. Hilariously, the cover art is of an actual, real human woman with an actual, real horse, which is so far from the cartoonish graphics of the game its quite astonishingly misleading.

You can ride horses in Zelda: Breath of the Wild and its a totally optional part of the experience. But yet thats a trillion times better than any of the entertainment youre getting in My Riding Stables Life With Horses.

My Riding Stables - Life With HorsesSummary The guys who approved My Riding Stables Life With Horses need to take a look at themselves. Its lame, no fun and brings nothing to the Nintendo Switch game library.
