MASTERPIECE, 10/10
on a more serious note, the swordplay mechanics were weird. a "too early!' and "too late!" popup could've helped smooth the curve, as i was taking damage in the first round not knowing why, and whether i actually understood what the game wanted.
fire writing
It is such a videogame! I liked some of it, disliked others! The best part was!
It is a fun little game with a funny gimmik, but I felt like the last cutscene was a bit too long, I started to snap out of my funny state. But despite that it is a good little game

5/5 across all categories. Shii is peak
The narration was the best so far if any of the games I've played. Something about it just kept me engaged even though I had no idea how to properly attack and land hits. For some reason I just kept trying and coming back lol
If anyone rated this below 5 stars on seriousness, they were being disingenuous. Bravo!
Shakespearean dialogue paired with a most engaging combat system 5/5
Genuinely the most harrowing cinematic experience i’ve had in my life. My perspective forever changed and my heart eternally scarred. Thank you for creating the new bibel
Incredible cinematic experience. This was my first introduction to the horse franchise and I was instantly hooked. This game is reminiscent of the world-renowned Yakuza 0 in its way of delivering hard-hitting story and poignant moments. I am HOOKED on HONSE.
Honse 3 The Joust is the third installment in the critically acclaimed series "Honse!" by "DatSnappyBoi", it has been widely awaited and fans all went wild when the release of it was announced after the shocking plot twist ending in the previous installment.
Without getting into spoilers this masterpiece starts off by setting up the lore of the characters in a masterful way, backstory about the missing options button and the very nimble exit button and then it smoothly transitions into one of the most awe-inspiring camera shots I've seen in my years as a reviewer. I don't think I've ever witnessed a Honse in this much detail in my entire life and my standard for other boring media has been elevated.
The cast for this cinematic masterpiece is also off the charts. From here on spoilers incoming so read at your own discretion!
The game - no - The masterpiece starts with the shocking revelation that Honse has abandoned his original goal of becoming the fastest Honse which comes as a surprise but this is what really kicks off this epic tale of revenge for the ultimate emotional payoff. Becoming the mightiest Honse is no easy task but you can truly see and witness Honse put his blood sweat and tears into this insurmountable goal, viewers can easily tell that his hard work paid off after Honse picks up the legendary sword and cuts the scene making it unskippable, truly a masterpiece in direction.
After the long but fulfilling training arc Honse encounters a fan favorite character which viewers hypothesized would make an appearence in the finale and he did, Long Honse but he clearly was no match for the mighty Honse and was slain with ease, the amount of aura was overflowing and couldn't be contained in that final scene.
Then comes Honse with the strong bones, Honse with strong bones truly presents himself as a wise intelligent Honse and tries to settle for a discussion, but little does he know that Honse has ultimately abandoned such path att the beginning of this dangerous adventure, despite him being presented as an insurmountable foe his bones also couldn't stand a chance and was shown as a bloody gorey mess over the png in an incredible shot.
Now the moment the elevates this from just another Honse masterpiece to the greatest piece of cinema. In a hauntingly shocking twist one which all Honse fans could not imagine it coming we see the one who started it all... Brøther as his name is revealed masterfully and when he comes into view all the moments of foreshadowing from Honse 1 and 2 come paying off at once, the one who always stood in his way, shares the same blood as Honse. The director didn't waste time and got straight into the masterful fight sequence, those who were watching intently notice how Brøther fights in a way that shows his sympathy, pride and potentially love for Honse, one which his family couldn't provide, but Honse can't falter after coming so far and proceeds to use his Blade one last time. Now from here on I can't give an honest review as the screen became very blurry and I couldn't see what was happening but judging by the rest of this piece of art it is probably just as peak.
This truly was the legend of Honse.
10/10
Great game, decide to slain Brøther for he speaks too much, it was a much deserved death. Nice job!
I won, but at what cost....
Honse 3 is peak, continue the Honse series
Nothing says unskippable cutscenes like needing to pause the game 4 times in a row and my only option is to refresh the browser :')
Still, stuck through them, and thank you for the entire experience.
Nice little game! Realizing the timing of attacks was a bit difficult at first, but once I got used to it the game became really fun and enjoyable.
Keep up the good work!
Very funny game! The cutscenes are a great cinematic experience. Gameplay is super simple but fun. Voice acting is amazing. I had a good time :)
You can put a price on family.
What an incredible story, I was hooked from the very first voiceline. I have one word to describe this game. Honse!
トリプルホースデスバラージ (TRIPLE HONSE DEATH BARRAGE)
🐎🐎🐎
I am all alone at the very top
why, o brother, have you chosen not to strike?
you've truly outdone yourself, this was genuinely engaging even starting from the main menu interactions, and at first I was wondering why honse of all things was taking so long to load, but then the cutscenes started and it all made sense...I think I was happier when my family was disappointed, cause at least back then they were alive to do it. what a heartbreaking yet fitting send off to honse, the mightiest to ever walk on 4 legs
well technically it used 5 legs when it uses the extra leg to run faster!
thank god you clarified which 5th leg you were referring to
XD BOI!?
what an incredible story (ノ´Д`)ノ
