The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, including random crashes to the main menu, characters walking through walls, and falling out of the map. The repetitive gameplay and poor mechanics contribute to a frustrating experience, leading many to deem it unplayable and not worth the investment. Overall, the game suffers from significant stability issues that detract from its enjoyment.
“It's a weird game, very buggy, very easy, and takes you back to the main menu randomly.”
“Literally one of the worst games I've ever played. It's super buggy, super easy, and super boring. Dinosaurs just walk through walls, you fall out of the map. It's the same level over and over again, just different commentary. The campaign is weak; it basically just gives you god mode, super speed, and super jump. This game is a worthless piece of crap. Even for the price, it's not worth it. The campaign is so long with the same level repeated, and it doesn't even tell you when you're done. I just stopped playing after the commentary stopped. Don't waste your money.”
“Same buggy aiming as Dino Hunt: have to click the scope many times for it to work.”
