Windstorm: Start of a Great Friendship

La physique du jeu est mal faite, le cheval est difficilement maniable, les murs invisibles sur la map rendent la navigation d'autant plus difficile. Au final et à cause de ces défauts techniques, l'expérience de jeu est très frustrante. Je pense malgré tout que ce jeu à de bonnes idées même si les missions sont beaucoup trop répétitives.

It's very monotonous. Ride there and collect x amount of whatever it is they are looking for. Catch that illogically fast cow. You're just thrown into the story and are expected to know the characters and what happened before. It might be nice if you know the pre-story and are familiar with the windstorm franchise and therefore care for the characters. I don't so it just felt tedious to finish this game.

Calling this a "game" is an understatement. The moment I loaded up and saw him standing there, Windstorm, the elegant beast which I get to lay my hands on, I instantly fell to my knees and sobbed. Tears of joy? Mostly, but also tears of sorrow for the millions who will never experience his beauty. My ancestors look down upon me, yearning to experience a fraction of what I have felt while bareback riding my beautiful Windstorm. He is mine, and I am his. Forever.

I know that this game is inspired in a German TV show/movie. But I have the impression that story is very fast and the Mika is just a Barbie's German version or something, because she speaks with you in a certain way (little childish?) Well, the game is pretty, I like the colors. But I don't know why the colors change, it turned grey in certain parts of the map, kinda sad and awkward. Suddenly, I feel in a horror game. Plus, the soundtrack! it's kinda cute with classical music, however there's a song that it's very similar to "chase song" in Garten of Banban. Of course, the horse's movements! When we see from the normal camera looks normal. But if you turn the camera, looks like the horse has scoliosis. It's not natural at all! I feel that this game is more about "cross-country" courses than "show jumping". There's no "dressage" or some similar course that we always see in horse games. Honestly, I liked the game and I'm curious about the another one from Windstorm series. I'm a huge fan of horses games and I need to play to know if worth it based on reviews that I read.

World graphic, music and noises like hooves against diffrent things? Good. Horse model, quests (they are boring even after a few minutes) unfortunetly dragged it down - I can't say it's bad game but I can't call it a good one. I recommending it only if somebody wants moving around nice world and listen good music, because others things imo are not very good made - for me it's not worth it's full price or even half of it, sorry...

Selten eine derartig repetitive, unkreative, uninspirierte Shice gesehen, wie diesen Rotz. Klar, habe es für meine Kleine geholt, Hauptsache sie hat damit Spaß... Aber jeder, der älter als 8 ist sollte die Finger davon lassen. Die Aufgaben im Spiel sind: Pferd putzen, Pferd reiten. Das war`s . Keine Ahnung, wie die Filme sind. Aber, wenn sie so sind wie das Spiel, dann gute Nacht.

[h2]PROS and CONS I made up while playing, BUGS I did encounter and if its worth the PRICE.[/h2] [h3]PROSIDE:[/h3] My main go are the graphics. I think for a 2017 game those are really awesome. The scenery is quiet enjoyable and the models are cute. Beside I like the free roam option and that you actually have to use it to continue with the story. You kinda can access a good amount of the map. The care system was made well. I like the idea that you need to take care of windstorm to achieve a better performance and that he will actually get tired from doing missions. Care is done easily and fast + you got different option so it's not annoying to me. [h3]CONS:[/h3] Oh deer, what makes that game really suck is that all quests are repetitive. You will eighter have to chase-, deliver-, collect- or photograph something. It's the same quest just with a different item, location or/and background story. After the first chases I got quite mad because it's so funky. Only in some sections you actually able to catch the cow/horse and despite those sections, they will have the same speed as you do. Even if you sprint. At some point I hang into it but still, it was the most unfun quest every time (and sometimes you had to do this 3 times in a row). Beside I sometimes got stuck or turned around because of the weird collision some objects have. The story was okay but since you don't replay the movie I think the game could have got more new story elements like the "open house". [h3]BUGS:[/h3] While playing I only got into 4 bugs. 1. While in free roam and accepting a blue mission, my game sometimes got frozen because I skipped the dialog- and started the mission to fast. (was the only annyoing one). 2. Somehow the orange search circles got stuck on the mindmap and wouldn't leave when the quest got finished. They would move with me and not stay in place rest of the game. Only did impact the game when you had to search a new orange area because it would overlap (fixed with a quick relog). 3. I managed to get into areas or over objects you shouldn't be able but thats probably because I tried to find breaks/shorts. Did not do any impact on the game and never got me real stuck (you are also able to reset windstorm). 4. My mouse would bug out a lot, I couldn't click continue or start a new quest. Pressing ESC or tap out and click into the game fixed it though. Was just annoying - not game breaking. [h3]PRICE:[/h3] The price is okay. I had like 8.5 hours playtime for the full story and doing all achievements. Still I recommend to buy it on discount (or check out the remastered/new version of this game. I will play and also review it soon too). Although if you are a fan of the windstorm franchise I would give it a go.

if u love windstorm the movie as i do, this game is for u. pretty music, horse, girl, nice quests. And its fun

game is super glithy had to put it on the lowest setting for everything. but in doing that, the game works. its super fun a lot of quests and cute little things like taking photos of wild life and horse care.

These exploration/adventure horse games put a huge smile on my face. I really love the ones that focus more on exploration and story, rather than micromanaging a farm and racing. Don't get me wrong. I do enjoy the horse breeding, and grinding out all the cool colors for hours. There is just something about riding an open world map full of trails, forests, bridges, streams, fields, and collectibles that I find much more relaxing and satisfying. I don't feel like I've wasted time in these games, like I do in the grindfest of breeding, or pure racing games. I do have to play those too though, because...horses of course. I'll play anything with a horse in it. Having a nice looking horse model is pretty awesome too. The animations are great. Anyone who plays horse games knows how important the horse look, sound, movement, etc is. Since you're on it the entire game, looking at it, panning the camera around trying to see how it looks when it's walking, trotting, galloping. We all want it to look like a real horse, or at least close. Hair moving in the wind, character not stiff on the back, hands grabbing the reins, feet in position, all the details are important. Play it. The second one is good too.
