Animal Trainer Simulator

Very buggy. DO NOT buy if you want to complete achievements. Fix is not coming to this game so don't wait. Do not buy if you think 'oh they might fix it eventually', THEY WONT. Only buy if you see multiple good reviews where no bugs are mentioned.

bu oyunda o kadar çok bug var ki "ah, çite çarptım!" demek yerine "ah, hitbox'a çarptım!" diyorsun

Animal Trainer Simulator, Honestly I really enjoyed it at first, it's premise is fairly simple, however it's well executed, sadly it doesn't really offer much more in terms of content from what I had already played in the prologue, once you've completed one job, everything just seems rather repetitive!

However, clearly some work was done in resolving my only really issue I had with the games prologue, it was clearly better optimised, as I didn't have any of the issues I had previously with the game stuttering and struggling to render, which was honestly the only really improvement I found compared to the prior version.

Overall, I don't think I'd recommend checking this out, as the free version was essentially the same product, despite that versions seemingly poor performance issues, I was at least still able to enjoy the game for what it was, so I'd still recommend checking that version out over this one!
Solid 5/10

first off my opinion, which is honestly that it sucked, kind of wished i could also personally train my own dog first or horse first, training was weird and more like a mini game then actual training which made it feel very repetitive, horse training felt off too not focusing on anything even remotely like training! the animals almost instantly knew what to do for example give paw the dog already holds their paw up!, and for horses one of the first things you do is a rearing thing where the horse already knows it somehow! and you just keep them up which is weird and honestly seems abusive to me, why are we making the horse stay in a reared position for a prolonged time, i could get teaching them to rear up on command but......just standing there....what???? and again mini games! the horse one is pressing arrows....which do nothing to adjust the horse or anything its just a rhythm mini game, for the dog attacking is spamming space then pressing another key with 0 prior training, give paw you move your floating hand left or right and then press a key again, nothing about it is immersive either

on to how the game actually is,
1, whats the target audience? it seems like young kids who just want to play the "fun pet game" it has no real gameplay
2, whats gameplay like? repetitive and made to try and keep you playing
3, what about tutorials? long, painful and almost made me give up and get rid of the game
4,is it fun to play? somewhat, seeing the animals and training the dog was fun but repetitive the horse not so much
5, if i got this for a child would they enjoy it? probably not if they are anywhere near 8 or under, even i a 22 year old adult struggled to keep focused on it as it became super boring, a child let alone young child may struggle even more or become frustrated heck even i got frustrated!

pros
- cute animals
- horses and dogs
- you get to start with horses right away not just dogs
- training doesn't take 1 million years or feel eternal and never ending
- promotes making sure animals are comfortable with you before working with them
- promotes to reward an animal as soon as it does what you want
- easy to use movement and keys
- easy tutorial
- fun initially
- cute art throughout hopeful that its not ai but i don't know and i didn't bother to check

cons...get ready
- long tutorial that treats you as if you don't know how to do anything like if you had a tutorial on how to drink water
- training bar goes up slowly and isn't super rewarding on players part
- animals look weird and lifeless, dog doesn't even look at you or really act like a dog, off leash it just wonders off without a second thought
- ai sucks and animals don't know basics
- training promotes that an animal should already know what your training it to do before training it which may cause young kids to then hurt or become mad when their real life pets don't instantly know what to do
- incredibly slow gameplay
- questionable training such as having a golden retriever do....attack training but only to "level 1" which is unrealistic to real life and may cause many to think they can just train their dog to bite without a clear off and that they will magically stop like the game dog
- breed does not match training task, who trains a golden to do bite work and not retrieval????
- promotes questionable ethics get animal from client then go get food for it? while leaving the horse or dog, in the freaking car!!!!!
- promotes abusive training for horses by promoting keeping a horse in a reared position for long periods of time as "training"
- fails to allow proper rewarding no treats, pets, "good boy/girl" or anything just Boom sparkles win bar up, and you going "where's the reward?"
- no assessing animal behavior, the animals have no personality at all
- very boring after a few minutes
- repetitive and not rewarding
- uses grinding as gameplay
- no explanation or heart in the game just....here's everything for you and you must finish tutorial before saving
- no real progression
- no thought to "will people try to replicate this?"
- no thoughts on in game welfare of animals
- promotes bad animal welfare
- looks cheap and models kind of suck
- no immersion, running over crops and it just goes through you, humans walk dogs off leash and the dog magically stays next to them but they have a hitbox so wide you cant drive past them, most things phase through you or have huge hitbox's
- riding horse looks weird
- promotes "breaking" a horse by riding it as it rears and bucks you off which is an abusive training method
- promotes abusive handling

This is a very good game for people who like games about working with and training horses or dogs!
