The game's story is often described as thin and vague, with players feeling dropped into a survival scenario without clear context or objectives. While some find the premise intriguing and engaging, many criticize the execution, noting a lack of depth, abrupt endings, and missed opportunities for a more developed narrative. Overall, the story hints at potential but ultimately leaves players feeling unsatisfied and wanting more.
“The story in the end gave me a feeling of wanting to know more, but sadly, ended abruptly.”
“The dialogue, the story, and gameplay are the best; this world has never seen such a masterpiece.”
“The story is actually quite good, and I was engaged every minute of gameplay.”
“Your objective isn't always clear, and there's a complete lack of a plot until about three hours in.”
“But no, just a 'the end' screen and pretty much a very unsatisfactory and terrible ending to an actually good concept for a story. I felt cheated, like everything I had done was a waste of time, I made no impact to the universe and felt like I left before I really even began.”
“I'm sorry developer, but you need to do better. This story and the ending that robs you of finding it out in any form just really ruins the game. The terrible presentation of the story and the way it is really stolen from you before you get a chance to really get into any of it is really disappointing.”

The game is plagued by numerous stability issues, including frequent bugs, glitches, and clunky gameplay that significantly detract from the overall experience. Players report problems such as invisible walls, broken achievements, and graphical errors, leading many to feel it resembles an early access title rather than a polished product. Despite its charm and potential, the overwhelming instability makes it difficult for users to recommend the game without significant improvements.
“Broken achievements and extremely buggy/clunky gameplay...”
“For the love of dinosaurs, I gave this a shot but the game is so ugly and buggy I couldn't even get through it.”
“Before even considering a purchase, be prepared to deal with a decent amount of glitches and an interface that's not very user friendly.”

The graphics in the game are generally considered subpar, with numerous glitches, low-resolution models, and issues like floating objects and awkward animations that detract from immersion. While some players find the visuals acceptable given the game's low price, others express a desire for better optimization and polish in future updates. Overall, the graphics reflect the game's budgetary constraints, leading to a mixed reception among users.
“Looking past its budgetary limitations, for its low price, large, varied jungle environment, and immersive (if not at times graphically comical due to glitches or low-res/simple models...) depiction of a jungle with dinosaurs, 'Dinosis Survival' pretty much delivered to me exactly what I expected of it and I'm glad I bought it.”
“The graphics are pretty decent and the game ran smoothly for me without any framerate or crash issues.”
“With my settings on graphics to low, it still looked very nice.”
“Yes, sometimes the dinosaurs are walking like they are drunk, sometimes glitches, sometimes invisible walls, and yes it is not high-end graphics.”
“For starters, the graphics are bad on the humans. The animation is so limited, and when you move the POV in front of your character, the mouth doesn't move when they are talking, making it look completely lifeless. The dinosaurs aren't too bad; they look a lot better than the humans in terms of animation and design.”
“This game has its share of graphical glitches, including clipping and the player character model's arm goofily tucked under his leg while crouched. Occasionally, the dinosaurs will get stuck mid-walk in a hillside and stand there unmoving while doing their walk animation.”

The gameplay of "Dinosis Survival" features a mix of engaging story elements and detailed world-building, but is marred by significant bugs, clunky mechanics, and overly challenging survival requirements that can lead to boredom. While the core mechanics are easy to grasp, they often feel predictable and repetitive, with players frequently needing to hunt excessive amounts of dinosaurs to manage hunger. Overall, the game shows potential but requires substantial polish and refinement to enhance the player experience.
“What really makes Dinosaurs Survival worth playing is its detailed world and gameplay.”
“The dialogue, the story, and gameplay are the best; this world has never seen such a masterpiece.”
“Despite the looks and rather ugly models, the story was interesting, the gameplay fun, and the concept surprisingly original.”
“Broken achievements and extremely buggy/clunky gameplay...”
“The survival mechanics are too hard for a potato game like this: and nobody in the world needs to eat an entire stegosaurus every five minutes or starve to death: understand how boring?”
“Now the gameplay is simple but very predictable and it gets boring very, very quickly. It's not even engaging; you are just going around shooting dinosaurs for food while you try to stay alive long enough to reach your objective. It isn't engaging nor very well thought out, and there are serious flaws with the graphics, such as trees that don't even go all the way into the ground and are just floating in mid-air.”

“Responsive controls, excellent dinosaur variety, well-made prehistoric atmosphere.”

Players express a sense of emotional investment in the game's story, which hints at a potentially rich narrative involving survival and mystery. However, the abrupt and frustrating gameplay mechanics, such as instant death from crocodiles, detract from the overall experience and leave players feeling disappointed that the story doesn't fully deliver on its promise.
“The story is why I cannot recommend this game; it hints at being such a perfect and constructed narrative. Not many dino games have a backstory that's visible (only Jurassic Park clone games, but they are just that). However, this game made me feel it could have a deep and interesting story. It was hinting at something profound and intriguing: why is this guy here, and why did their plane crash?”
