Equinox: Homecoming

I gotta say, this is a rather enjoyable game. I wasn't expecting much, but I got five hours in and I only completed chapter one and some of chapter two. The game gives ample amounts to do so I don't just finish the whole story in two hours and wanting more. I was able to potter along and feel content without feeling rushed to do different things. The map is wonderful and provides some unique places to explore. I enjoy the spooky vibe to it, and I'm loving the folklore horror aspect to it, as a personal fan to the genre. I haven't gotten far in, but I love the relaxed state of the horror qualities. It's not overwhelming and is largly aesthetic (not a bad thing), which means it won't leave you with nightmares, but is engaging nontheless. I heard in it's early access form, it was lacking a bit, so I held back at the time, but one year later it's doing pretty well. There are only three things I really have a pickle with: - I can personally do with limited graphics with really good voice acting, and the voice acting is a little weaker. It's not horrible, just weaker. This leads to scenes becoming too quickly paced at times because theres not heaps of time to linger on the content the characters are talking about. Pacing, as an extention of this, during cutscenes is a little weaker. I recomed leaning into phycological horror a little, as this seems that it will match the tone of the story. - The horse care animations and interactions could be extended on. Not much more to say, just something I noticed. - The horses aren't as involved as I thought they would be. I'm personally not missing out on heaps because I GET IN on a muder mystery/horror (this is the first time I've consumed it in game format). From what I see, there are a lot of improvements coming to horses, which I'm excited about. Having these various mechanics gives us players something to savour while we're exploring the world and solving these mysteries. I don't want to make it seem like I'm critical of this game in it's entirity, because It's an indie game thats got a lot of ambition. I really think this game could be something special, and my goodness the lack of intense amounts of micro-transactions is such a breath of fresh air. When I have that extra money, I will absolutely be buying the lifetime pass, and be happy to sneak in some more puchases every once in a while to support this game, because I believe it can be something special, and I am an adult with adult money. I think the only thing that I genuinely care about criticising is the voice acting/pacing in the cutscenes, because of how narrative-driven this game is. But besides all that I'm really enjoying the narrative. Overall, I'm so keen to see where this game goes. I would recomend this game to anyone who loves a muder mystery/horror story that isn't overwhelmingly intense, exploring foresty environments and the loves the aesthetics of horses.

I'm just getting started but so far I love it.

Tolles Spiel! Auf sowas haben meine Freundin und ich lange gewartet. Ein Multiplayer Pferde MMO. Wirklich schön gemacht mit hübscher Grafik, hammer Story und regelmäßigen Updates. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Super Kompromiss aus Mystery , Pferd Pflege und Spiele Spaß - perfekt nach einem langen Tag und die Geschichte ist nicht schlecht ;)

super fun. you create your person and horse. details are beautiful. can not wait for the new chapter update to hit!

Плюсы: - Графика - очень сочно, сказала бы я, если бы у меня позволила микроволновка, но у подружки вообще топ смотрится; - Музыка - радио классная тема; - Гринд - о да, ты не сможешь проехать мимо грибочка, цветочка, подковы и...много чего другого, я обещаю. Ах, да, будь готов к тому, что всего этого не станет, как только ты решишь чуть-чуть повысить свои статы ; - Огромное кол-во квестов - они не заканчиваются, даже если ты думаешь, что сделал все - не думай и ищи ближайшего NPC; - Функционал - спасибо, что обратили внимание не только на лошадь, но и на персонажа, классно посидеть на травке, потрогать свою лошадку и т.д; Золотые монетки - супер идея, зарабатывать донат не за "донат", а за прохождение гонок на золото (надо лишь потратить кучу ресурсов на повышение статов, а еще кучу серебра) Минусы: - Сюжет на любителя (что-то между грибами и котиками); - Анимация (отнесла бы в плюсы, но хотелось бы видеть более детализированную анимацию, начиная с персонажа, заканчивая лошадьми (грива, хвост, передвижение - прыжки, как отдельный вид морального уничтожения)); - Отсутствие активностей (совместных с друзьями), кроме как борьбы за корону и прохождение сюжета, бесконечного прохождения гонок заняться нечем; - Язык (тут все понятно); Заключение: проект еще сырой, новый, НО, потенциал большой. Думаю, что в дальнейшем минусы преобразуются в плюсы.

Actually pretty decent for a MMO Horse game! I'm very impressed. Nice Character Models, Scenery, Horse riding is good. Parkour riding and jumping, Collecting Stuff, Phones, Daily tasks and nicely spooky, creepy Story mode. Shading in Cut Scenes need to be a bit better, but depending on how new the game is, it's mostly okay. Game runs smoothly. Not much bug, very little ones so far.
