The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of forced ads that interrupt gameplay.

The story of "Dino Quest 2" builds on the foundation of its predecessor, offering players an engaging experience centered around dinosaur exploration and museum customization. While many players appreciate the sequel's enhancements, such as 3D digging and a wider variety of dinosaurs, some express frustration with certain quests and unlockable features that feel overly challenging or incomplete.

- “I played the original Dino Quest and I'm so happy to see it get a sequel!”
- “This is a great game! I actually played the first Dino Quest game, which was great as well. This is better than the original; it has more dinosaurs, you can customize your museum, and they allowed you to dig in 3D, which I assumed was going to make digging more annoying, but somehow they made digging more fun than in the original.”
