I’ve been meaning to review it basically ever since – promising articles and then taking a year or two to write them is a bit of theme on this site. But after being severely disappointed by its predecessor, seeing that the game only had “mixed” reviews on Steam and noticing a lack of interest in the community whenever I held votes for what to cover next, this review got pushed back multiple times on the priorities list. In a way, this may have worked in the game’s favor: since its initial release, there have been two patches that made drastic improvements. And at the same time I have to admit that we’ve all been sleeping on this one, because it really gets a whole bunch of things right, and deserves vastly more attention from horse-loving players than it has been getting. If you have not read it yet, I strongly recommend a look at my interview with Aesir’s CEO Wolfgang Emmer, where he shares a lot of valuable insight into this game’s development, and why the version that was launched in early 2019 differs so significantly to the version I’m reviewing today.  One note before we start: Although I make some comparisons between the two games in this article.

I strongly recommend not playing the first one and jumping right into this one instead, if you have an interest in this franchise. The first one does nothing at all to introduce relevant characters in any case, making Ari’s Arrival a vastly better entry point. Like the movie it’s based on, Ari’s Arrival replaces previous main character Mika with troubled child Ari, who comes to Kaltenbach Ranch after her latest violent outburst cost her a foster family. She soon meets the stallion Windstorm, who is having issues because Mika – magical horse girl extraordinaire and the only person who could ride him – is in a coma. Since I didn’t watch the movie nor the two other films that lay between beyond trailers and rough plot summaries, I’m obviously lacking some context here. The game does a decent job of introducing all the characters you need to know though, and you soon realize that Ari and Windstorm are just about perfect for each other and can help each other get better. After the first few linear missions, you thus land out in the wild with the horse by your side and a wide open world at your feet and hooves.

Unlike the first game where missions had very low narrative stakes, your main mission tasks in Ari’s Arrival eventually revolve around saving the Kaltenbach Ranch from the influence of its new manager Isabell, whose ambitions prioritize fame and money over the wellbeing of animals and people. The story still follows a few well established horse girl tropes, but mostly manages to skirt around being too cliché. It is told through 2D character art, text boxes and voice acting, with very few animated cutscenes. In some parts of the story, the budget constraints are obvious when action is told through text rather than showing it, but it does feel like the team did well within said constraints. The narrative tackles aspects of finding home and family, with some missions and dialogue delving into the mythical to hint at why exactly the energies of Mika, Ari and Windstorm are linked. Impulsive tomboy Ari is likeable enough as a main character, with her deadpan skepticism and destructive tendencies making for a nice change of pace. Dialogue and voice acting are solid, with the English translation being of noticeably higher quality than that of its predecessor. The Quarry

In the first Windstorm game, the animation quality was somewhere between weird and awful. The horse animations in Ari’s Arrival are a vast improvement. They are far from perfect, and some motions still have oddities about them, but the step up from “horrifying to look at” to “fine” is significant. As before, Windstorm has four gaits called Walk, Trot, Gallop and Sprint instead of using the word ‘Canter’ anywhere because this is a German game and equestrian language differences are a bit tricky. The footfalls and movements are correct, and the overall shape and motion of the horse are decent. Judging the quality of animations is difficult due to camera behavior that does simply not let you properly look at your horse, making it impossible to get a proper look at each of the movements from the side. I consider this a flaw not only because I want to do a close inspection for review purposes but also because… I actually kind of like looking at horses. Huge surprise, I know. Many of us who play horse games want to look at horses and their movements, so when a game does not me get a proper view of said horse’s motion, I feel cheated.

It also always feels a bit like the game knows that its horse animations are not great so it tries to hide that fact from the player, which I find frustrating. As a horse lover looking desperately for a game to enjoy, I found this game incredibly underwhelming and wish I hadn’t been lured in by my passion for horses. A severe lack of polish, lazy quest design, gamebreaking bugs, and poor graphics find me wishing I hadn’t purchased this title. Continue reading for a more in depth review. I will say that the game world, at a distance, is quite beautiful. It really represents the essence of the countryside. The drawn character portraits during conversations are also of high quality and very expressive. However, that is where my praise will end. When the world is looked at with higher scrutiny, you will find the animals to be lifeless and copypasted throughout the game world. Some have animations, but virtually all are unblinking and unsettling in their appearance. There was one cat in the starting area that I can’t believe made it into the final version of the game because of its unrealistic shape.

As a game focused around horses and animals in general, I would expect a much higher quality model for all of the creatures. As for character models, they share virtually no resemblance to most of the character’s portraits that you see in quest dialogue. On closer inspection, the game looks like it was produced on a budget and plays like something from over a decade ago with its clunky controls. On to the story. You play as an immature orphan girl who throws a tantrum every time something doesn’t go her way. I understand if this is a character trait that she is meant to overcome and grow out of as part of character development. But after half the story she has yet to be forced to grow out of that annoying behaviour, and it has become a grating quality about her. Many quests are follow or go-fetch x items quests, a frankly boring and lazy affectation of quest design and I’m always disappointed to see it so heavily relied upon. In addition the arc of the story is predictable and doesn’t delve into mature themes, but perhaps that is an indicator that I’m simply not the targeted audience. The story certainly seems more suited for children.

Although as an aside, I find it baffling that a game targeted for children doesn’t hammer home or at least mention safety. There are open campfires unnattended everywhere, and the main character goes everywhere on her horse with neither helmet nor saddle. Perhaps that’s nitpicking, but it sets a bad example. The annoying aspects of the story are compounded by gamebreaking bugs that I experienced twice that required me to completely restart my game. One involved getting stuck on a fence and being permanently stuck in a walking animation. The second involves cows that were involved in a main quest that you had to herd which were simply missing. Neither one could be fixed by reverting to a previous save. In addition, these bugs have been in existence for a very long time, and it does not appear that they will ever be patched, as the last update was way back in 2019. So all in all, I cannot recommend this game at its price. Perhaps not even heavily on sale because the devs left it with known bugs. Based on what I’ve read I am roughly halfway through the story, but I am unlikely to finish it as I am finding the story both uncompelling as well as monotonous.  Priest Simulator
