The gameplay features realistic models and interesting terrain, offering various mechanics and a basic RPG-style upgrade system. However, it suffers from slow movement, lack of gamepad support, repetitive tasks focused on eating, drinking, and killing, and predictable AI behavior. While the visuals and sound design are praised, the overall experience is described as simple and boring, leading to mixed reviews with a score of 8/10.
“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.”
“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.”
“It is pretty, and the sounds are good, but the gameplay is very simple and repetitive.”
“There is a nice start to an RPG-style upgrade system, but in the long run, it doesn't affect gameplay very much. Water is difficult to identify, and once you find it, there is no reason to leave it, and the AI behavior is extremely predictable.”

The graphics in the game are generally well-received, with an appealing art style and a rating of 9/10, though some players note occasional lag at high settings. However, criticisms arise regarding the attack animations and the limited variety of dinosaurs, with some players finding the graphics in these areas lacking. Overall, while there are notable strengths, there are also significant areas for improvement.
“The graphics are a 9/10.”
“Graphics-wise, it's quite good and I do like the art style.”
“The graphics have gotten slightly better, so I'm still going to hold out and say recommend if on sale.”
“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 implemented graphics.”
“They haven't really done much with the dinos. You 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 game features no music, which some players find detracts from the dramatic tension during hunting sequences, relying instead on dinosaur sounds and ambient noise. 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.”

“Character development is minimal, leaving the players with little emotional investment in their journeys.”
