Horse Riding Deluxe 2

Die Warnung steht schon drauf: ein enthusiastisches Ein-Mann-Projekt. Dafür im Prinzip gut, aber sicher sein Geld nicht wert. Die Grafik ist sehr ressourcenfordernd, dafür ruckelt sie ständig. Die Quests sind Standard, dafür unübesichtlich und schlecht markiert. Dafür ist die Übersetzung zwischen lustig und unverständlich. Fazit: würde ich nicht wieder kaufen.

I can get past the log in page :(

Einfach nur schlecht.

Ich habe es zuerst als Demo probiert zuspielen heben gedacht es liegt an der Demo und habe es gekauft leider geht es immer noch nicht und hängt. PC stimmt mit den Anforderung fürs Spiel über ein sollte von dem her gehen geht immer noch nicht finde es schade

es ist super, aber ich würde auch sagen, das man sich auch ein anderes Pferd später holen könnte, oder am Anfang ein anderes Pferd aussuchen, was ich auch noch mit einbeziehen würde, ist, wo kann man sich weiter essen und trinken besorgen? Trotzdem ist es sehr schön, und manchmal eine Herausforderung, das spiel zu spielen. Liebe Grüsse

24.01.2024 Cant´t recommend the game anymore, because horses again die bacause stablecare doesn´t give all off them food and water. It´s no fun, riding around and come home and find a dead horse no matter if there is a rescue medicine. Ich empfehle das Spiel nicht mehr, weil das Bug, dass nicht alle Pferde von der Stallhilfe versorgt werden wieder da ist. Schade um Spielzeit und Geld. Ja, man kann die Notfallsprize geben, aber nein, es macht keinen Spaß, auszureiten und nicht zu wissen, ob man abends ein totes Pferd findet.

Horse Riding Deluxe 2, developed and published by Loot Inside, is an open-world equestrian simulation that blends horse care, training progression, exploration, and racing into a sandbox-style experience. Rather than focusing exclusively on competitive events, the game attempts to capture a broader vision of horse ownership, giving players the opportunity to build a stable, tame wild horses, manage animal well-being, and roam across a sizable environment at their own pace. It positions itself as a relaxed yet structured simulation aimed at players who have a specific interest in horses and rural exploration. The foundation of the experience lies in acquiring and caring for horses. Players can purchase mounts from dealers or seek out wild horses scattered across the landscape and attempt to tame them. Each horse has its own performance potential, and once added to the stable, it requires ongoing maintenance. Feeding, grooming, and healing are not optional cosmetic features but necessary components of progression. Neglecting these responsibilities can impact a horse’s condition and performance. This management layer introduces a sense of accountability and immersion, especially for players who enjoy the nurturing side of animal simulation. Training mechanics form the next major layer of gameplay. Horses can improve attributes such as speed, acceleration, and agility through consistent riding and structured training routines. These upgrades directly influence performance during races and exploration. The progression system encourages long-term investment in specific horses, allowing players to shape their mounts into specialists depending on personal preference. Customization options extend beyond statistics to include cosmetic elements like saddles, reins, and color variations, giving players control over both form and function. Exploration is a central pillar of Horse Riding Deluxe 2. The open world includes forests, plains, and scenic countryside environments that can be traversed freely. Players are not restricted to a linear progression path, and the absence of strict time pressure contributes to the relaxed pacing. Hidden items, coins, racetracks, and wild horses incentivize roaming, while a day-and-night cycle adds atmosphere and variation to the landscape. The ability to switch between first-person and third-person perspectives enhances immersion and provides flexibility depending on player preference. Competitive elements are delivered through a variety of racetracks spread across the map. These races serve as structured challenges where trained horses can test their abilities. Medals and rewards provide motivation to refine performance stats and pursue mastery. While the racing mechanics are straightforward, they introduce tension and give purpose to the training systems. The balance between free exploration and organized events keeps the gameplay loop from becoming purely aimless. Technically, the game utilizes Unreal Engine to present a 3D world with modest environmental detail and dynamic lighting. While it does not reach the visual fidelity of high-budget simulation titles, it offers functional landscapes and reasonably detailed horse models. The presentation supports the gameplay without overwhelming system requirements. However, technical polish can vary, and some players have noted occasional stiffness in movement controls and interface clarity. Horse handling, in particular, may feel less refined compared to more established equestrian simulations, which can affect race precision and navigation. Community reception has reflected this balance of ambition and imperfection. Players who approach the game specifically for its horse-focused content often appreciate the scope of features, including stable management, taming mechanics, and open-world freedom. Others have expressed concerns about control responsiveness and limited tutorial guidance, which can create early friction. The experience tends to resonate most strongly with dedicated horse enthusiasts willing to invest time into its systems rather than players seeking tightly polished mechanics. Ultimately, Horse Riding Deluxe 2 is a passion-driven equestrian sandbox that prioritizes breadth over refinement. Its strengths lie in offering a wide range of horse-related activities within a freely explorable environment. While it may not deliver the mechanical precision or narrative depth of larger simulation franchises, it provides a relaxed and expansive space for players interested in horse care, training, and rural adventure. For those drawn specifically to equestrian gameplay, it presents a layered and immersive experience, even if its execution occasionally shows the limitations of a smaller development team.
