DreamWorks Spirit Lucky's Big Adventure

Замечательный спин офф к рдр! Правда на протяжении всей игры хотелось этой кривоногой кляче копыта в жопу запихать. О каждый камень спотыкается, ирод проклятый! Тот факт, что кобылу нужно постоянно мыть, дабы у неё был полный запас подков, (=скорости) дико напрягает. Под конец игры этот мерин бегал весь в гoвнe, ибо не заслужил чтобы барин, бегал на другой конец карты до сарая. На колбасу эту дyрy не сдали и на том спасибо!

虚假的荒野大镖客：Red Dead Redemption 真正的荒野大镖客：DreamWorks 小马精灵

Recommended under both of two conditions: (1) On sale. (2) For a very young audience, fans of the series, inexperienced gamers. Great new horse game for the less experienced horse fans out there! After finishing the main story in 3hr 30min (along with a few of the side quests) my overall thoughts (and gripes) are as follows: - Difficulty - Very easy - This game is very easy and will not provide much challenge if that's what you're looking for. If you’re here to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride (pun 100% intended), then this would be a good game for you. - Tutorials - Hand holding - There were tutorials for absolutely everything, which is really good for kids and those with little experience in these sorts of games. An option to skip them would've been nice for those who know what to do/want to figure it out themselves, such as myself. - Controls - Controller AND keyboard and mouse compatible!!! - As others have said, the store page is incredibly misleading. You most certainly CAN play with a keyboard and mouse. The tutorial instructions and prompts are definitely displayed only as controller buttons, but if you can figure out the equivalent controls on your keyboard, you’re good to go. - Steering - Dodgy, but usable - In the reviews of almost every horse game I've played, there will always be that one person who says they had difficulty steering their horse... for once, that person is going to be me. While I was able to steer adequately, I found this game more irritating than most other horse games I've played. The controls on my controller were at times very touchy, causing the horse to swing around incredibly fast, while at other times the horse was very slow to respond. - World - Open world, but still partially forced routes - It was incredibly annoying to think you were going to go somewhere by going one way, only to find yourself against an unscalable cliff and needing to backtrack. What made it worse was the lack of a decent map (covered in my next point). I guess if you think of it like a maze and have patience it’s not so bad. - Map - Half great half useless - I loved having the ability to fast travel using the map. But the map was otherwise useless to navigate. There's no terrain differentiation at all (other than a really obvious lake in the middle), making it impossible to use it properly. If you wanted to find something, you’ll only be doing it by memory or using the step by step quest markers (which often don’t even take you on the most direct route). - Story - A huge amount of loading screens - Don't get me wrong, I like games with lots of story cutscenes. But I felt that this game could've at least made the transitions smoother. It felt like someone grabbed a full cutscene and chopped it into several tiny ones for some of the quests. Even during cutscenes, it would load out of the cutscene for a few lines of dialogue, before loading back in to the next part of that cutscene. Again, while it wasn’t a problem, it it did make the story kind of hard to get in to. Another thing that added to the problem, was the flow of the story. Part of the time it felt like you were making a lot of progress. Then you’d suddenly be ground to a halt by some seemingly less important (but necessary) quest. This also didn’t help to create a smooth experience. Finally, some of the story didn’t really line up with itself. Without spoilers, the story went something like: ‘Pru and Abigail are going with you on your quest! Oh no, we can’t continue because of this problem. Better go back to town and ask Pru/Abigail.’ Um… but aren’t they with you on your quest? Better consistency would’ve made the story more believable. - Horse Care - Very basic - Although I liked its simplicity, brushing your horse (to keep its speed boost at maximum) was introduced much later in the game than it should've been. You only unlock grooming your horse after a certain quest, and you need to complete several quests before that. It really should've been one of the first things you were allowed to do. In addition to this problem, it’s not really clearly explained in the beginning that once your horse gets dirty, your boost bar will start to reduce and will ONLY increase when you clean your horse. Hugging and watering your horse will regenerate it’s speed ONLY up to this cap. This felt like the single area where the excessive tutorial failed. - Graphics - Beautiful - The world, animals, and characters are all really well designed and animated for their art style. - View - Felt distant - A bit of a side note but, compared with most other games I've played, for some reason I felt very far away from the character in this game. It wasn't a problem, but it would've been nice to have the option to zoom in a little. - Photo mode - Fun! - Of the things I think this game did well, photo mode would definitely be one of them. I enjoyed it and felt it was a well implemented feature. - Climbing Puzzles - Reasonable - These puzzles, scattered around the map added a nice extra activity to the game. Overall I enjoyed it, though I would’ve liked to maintain control of my camera view during this mode to see where I was going better. The puzzles themselves were not difficult or frustrating, just something interesting to do during quests and on the side. Conclusion: This game feels designed to be played a very specific way, and in many ways doesn't really allow you much freedom (but also less room for error?). Although I found this game to be short and basic, I did enjoy galloping around for the time I did and will likely go back to polish off those side quests soon. I would definitely recommend this game if you have kids or want a nice, easy game to relax. It's very family friendly on all fronts, as it states.

I don't normally leave reviews, but my 5 y.o. daughter absolutely adores this game. The riding controls are simple enough that she's been able to pick the game up on her own (we use an Xbox 360 controller) and complete most of the main storyline without any help. Some of the platforming segments can be a bit tricky for her thanks to some not quite ideal camera angles, but otherwise she does most of it on her own. Quest objectives are clearly marked / easy to follow and she loves seeing some of the main characters from the show represented. As others have stated, keyboard and mouse are supported despite what's in the description. Would definitely recommend this to anyone with younger kids who are fans of the show or horses in general when it's on sale. Now if only there was a mod or dlc to make Pru and Chica Linda (her favorite character and her horse) playable....

Pai de menina rsrsrs Jogo aprovado! Lembre-se pessoal eu sou gamer... :-P

Just an awful experience. Controlling Spirit through winding paths with obstacles is an exercise in frustration. He constantly gets stuck on strange bits of geometry which forces a slow dismount and waddle away to move him from one place to the other. The 'cleaning' mechanic seems to consistently hit at the worst time (when you're 1000 miles from home and any other fast travel point) and the side quests add nothing of value. I'm glad that I'm free from its clutches.

Gleich vorneweg es ist ein Spiel dass auf eine bekannte Spielreihe aufbaut, so wie "Ostwind", "Bibi und Tina" oder "Horse Club", wer mit diesen Spiel zurecht kommt wird an diesem Spiel viel Freude haben, für Kinder und Anfänger ist es absolut ungeeignet, es gibt schwierige und frustrierende Kletter- und Springeinlagen (wie bei bayala) und man bleibt gelegentlich an Hindernissen hängen oder bugt sich fest. Das Spiel ist eigentlich für die Steuerung mit Konsole gemacht, mit der Tastatur geht es zwar auch (man muss zunächst die Tasten durch ausprobieren rauskriegen) ist aber etwas ungewohnt, zudem ist Spirit (das Pferd) zu schnell, Schritt scheint er gar nicht zu kennen, das gegen Hindernisse reiten, hängen bleiben und mühevolles umdrehen sind also vorprogrammiert. Das spiel hatt aber auch sehr viel postitives, ähnlich wie bei den bereits genannten Pferdespielen findet man sich in der bekannten Welt aus der Serie wieder und trifft viele bekannte Charaktere und Orte, auch die Musik ist wieder richtig Klasse und Stimmig. Das Hauptziel des Spieles ist eine Schatzsuche, nebenbei gibt es aber noch zahlreiche Nebenquest, Fottografieaufgaben und Rennen (nur hier zählt die Zeit) und den guten alten Kompass oben am Bildschirmrand der die Richtung zu den nächsten Aufgaben und Zielen vorgibt und der Hauptweg (von der Hauptquest) wird mit farbigen Kreisen angezeigt. Pro: - Viele Nebenquests - Stimmige Musik und Schöne Umgebung - Kleidung zum finden und sammeln - Pferdepflege wurde gut integriert Kontra: - Schwierige und Frustrierende Spring- und Klettereinlagen - Flussüberquerung und Bergaufstieg zu unklar - Raubtiere nerven nach einiger Zeit - Nach Hängenbleiben ist es schwierig das Pferd "auszuparken" und zu wenden Im großem und ganzen ist das Spiel gut gelungen, ganz ohne Zeitstress kann man die Quests absolvieren und nach den versteckten Kleidungsstücken suchen, wem die beiden Ostwindspiele gefallen haben und sich auf ähnliche Probleme gefasst macht, der wird viel Spaß mit dem Spiel haben.

When my daughter saw me playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and also wanted to play a game where one's character rides a horse, this is the one we settled on. Compared to other horse games out there that we found, this one is the closest thing to RDR2 for youngins and higher quality than most.

Summary: It may be good, it may be bad. I will never know as seems it needs a controller to progress beyond 5 minutes and it doesn't like mine PROS: At least I managed to load up the home page? CONS: Xbox controller support dodgy - stops all progress For those considering buying - this game says it requires an Xbox controller. I have one - I have the official wireless dongle for PC. It works perfectly in Steam Big Picture mode and all other controller-compatible games. However, this game adamantly refuses to recognise it. Checking the community page and I see at least one other person had this issue. And after a generic response from the devs, they haven't tried to help. After you start up, you get to a section where the game requires input on the l-stick of the controller to move (part of the tutorial, I assume). The game refused to recognise any keyboard input at this point to allow progress (although I could use the keyboard to navigate menus). Hence it was impossible to move forward. If you do decide to buy this, just make sure you check within the 14 days steam refund window that the controller is working for you - else you may find yourself out of pocket and no wiser as to what adventures awaited spirit and lucky.... Also - side note - at least in the 5 minutes I saw - half the text is voice-acted and half is purely written (including instructions on what to do next it seems). The game is meant to be 3+ and I can't comment on what is the appropriate minimum age to play really (as I couldn't get it working as above). But bear in mind your child will probably need basic reading skills if you want them to play without full-time supervision.

This was a cute little game, the controls weren’t the best. But it was still a fun short game
