Petz® Horsez® 2

This game held up surprisingly well. Especially on the Ranch and in town the environments are actually really original and nice to look at. The horses look their age lol, but caring for them in the actual stable instead of a minigame screen and taking them for lunging (in again, pretty environments!) is something that is rarely seen in horse games. If you get used to the controls, the riding is interesting enough because it gives you a bit of a challenge. What makes me really recommend this though that it has a story that is pretty involved and lets you solve a mystery. It even has different endings! The characters are also voiced and more original than most other games in this genre. Would be happy to see more of these old games on Steam!

I'm so impressed with this game. The fact that a game from 2007 is now my all time favourite horse game says a lot. The graphics are.. of its time, but still strangely beautiful. Especially the surroundings. The mini games are all fun, the riding mechanics are actually a little challenging. A big part of the game is bonding with and caring for your horse, and that's also kinda hard and grindy, which makes it more rewarding to do. The story surprised me with how in depth it is, I assumed this would be a game that's only about horses, but the story is more than that. There's choices that matter, characters you care about, mysteries that were genuinely a little creepy. It's not a long story mode, and it's not groundbreaking, but it was a pleasant surprise when what I really came for was the horses, to end up caring about the story too. I recommend you scale the game to your screen so it doesn't stretch everything, that made it look weird for me when I first launched it. Also, time is a valuable resource in game so it's not a particularly cozy or casual game.

[spoiler] My character was almost murdered twice. [/spoiler] They just don't make horse games like they used to anymore (Ignore the hours, I've played this game too many times to count as a kid, and had to play this round in admin. You'll see why down below because it will also happen to you.) [h2] Game Errors + Glitches: [/h2] [h3] AlertForDebug [/h3] You will most likely encounter the "AlertforDebug" error on first launch that will then immediately crash your game. If your game is not launching (or, it launches once, but not again) you'll have to change the game path in the boot.txt file to something like this: E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Petz Horsez 2 This is what my path looked like, but obviously the location the game/main file is going to be different for you. You can find the location by going to the game in your library, selecting gear icon on the game page, then "browse local files." You would copy that entire file location into that line of gamepath in boot.txt. [h3] Saves [/h3] When you save for the first time, it MAY add a duplicate Petz Horsez 2 folder within the MAIN Petz Horsez 2. You'll know if this happens if you get the AlertforDebug error again whe…

I like the story, the characters, the competitions, the mini games... I wish it had more stories for you to do. I would like to see this turned into a Manga book series or a TV show. My only problem is there is a problem typing, so anytime you try to name a horse it ends up being a long combo of the same letter or numbers. Other than that it is great, especially if you are both a horse lover and a You Choose fan, because the levels are seperated into chapters and you get to decide what you're character says and does, and that effects the story, incluiding the ending.

Not the RPG version from the Nitendo DS

Great game, I was lost before I found it and it saved my life from depresssion... Most frustrating 2 hours of my life, yet somehow surprisingly good if you take it with a pinch of salt. HOWEVER... The opening story line??? If you read the dialogue.. getting tricked into believing that you're stranded just so that you'll accept a stranger's hospitality, only to be coerced into repaying a debt that you never intended to accept in the first place..... naaaahhh this is highkey how you become a victim of trafficking.... same manipulation tactics romanticized in a CHILDREN'S game. SUS. Istg if this guy is a love interest later in the game I'll throw a fit....
