The gameplay features realistic models and interesting terrain, offering various mechanics and options, but suffers from slow and clunky movement, lack of gamepad support, and a repetitive loop focused on eating, drinking, and killing. While there are some appealing elements like an RPG-style upgrade system and food mechanics, the overall experience is hindered by predictable AI and a need for significant rework to enhance engagement. Despite its visual appeal, many players find the gameplay simplistic and monotonous.
“Realistic models and interesting terrain, lots of play options and cool mechanics.”
“Gameplay is an 8/10.”
“After 20.1 hours of gameplay, I have found that this game is well built for the most part and is well thought out.”
“As of right now, this game needs a whole rework of the world and fighting/living mechanics.”
“It needs more effort put in; the movement is slow and clunky, there's no gamepad support, enemies like the protoceratops launch at you at rocket speed, and the gameplay is eat/drink/kill.”
“The gameplay loop is so boring; the only way to progress is to murder everything in sight, every single thing.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their art style and realism, with some users rating them as high as 9/10. However, there are criticisms regarding specific elements like attack animations and the overall graphical fidelity during gameplay, with some noting lag at higher settings and a need for further improvements. While the visuals are appealing, the execution in certain areas, such as the tutorial and death animations, leaves room for enhancement.
“The graphics are a 9/10.”
“This game is amazing, the mission system is very good, the ecosystem and graphics are gorgeous and extremely realistic.”
“The graphics are nice; they could use some TLC in the future when the game fleshes itself out, but it is fun.”
“Where to begin, fun game, you die a lot, not many dinos to start off on the map so you have to find some, the attack graphics are terrible, basically you just munch on stuff, half of the dinos are not available so you can't pick and choose, the tutorial is very basic with poorly instituted graphics.”
“They haven't really done much with the dinos, still die right off the bat even with a T-Rex... the graphics have gotten slightly better so I'm still gonna hold out and say recommend if on sale.”
“The graphics are nice, they could use some TLC in the future when the game fleshes itself out, but it is fun.”

The game lacks a compelling narrative, with players noting that the missions primarily revolve around repetitive tasks such as traveling to locations and hunting specific dinosaurs. While the mission system is functional, it does not offer a rich story experience, leading to a perception of the gameplay as somewhat monotonous.
“This game is amazing, the mission system is very good, the ecosystem and graphics are gorgeous and extremely realistic. However, the death animations and hunting tactics are basic. There should be herding and mating features in my opinion because that would improve the game massively. For example, the Tyrannosaurus could have a mate and nesting features, and the Triceratops could also have nesting and herding features. All else is perfection in my opinion.”
“There is no story.”
“The missions are repetitive and lack any engaging narrative.”
“The game feels more like a series of tasks rather than a cohesive story.”

The game features no music, which some players find detracts from the dramatic tension during hunting sequences, relying instead on the sounds of dinosaurs and ambient noises. While this absence of music may feel repetitive to some, others appreciate the naturalistic atmosphere it creates.
“The hunting in the game is not dramatic, and since there is no music, the only things that cause tension when you are hunting or being hunted are the sounds of the dinosaurs and your thoughts.”
“Some people may not like the lack of music in the game, and it can sound a bit repetitive, but the sounds make it feel like nature.”
