Birthdays the Beginning
Birthdays the Beginning is probably my most reluctant recommendation of a game I can give.
It has so many gaping, terrible problems with it. Just check out all the other reviews, most of them sum it up.
The game is uninteractive, the animals barely do anything, might as well just be numbers with a static sprite.
It’s all a game of population control. That’s it.
It can be incredibly, incredibly frustrating trying to get certain species to spawn because they need exact precise requirements for long periods of time and balancing other populations to be in harmony. It’s a mess.

I would tentatively give this game a thumbs up. In the couple of days since it was released, I have played way too many hours.
First, the many negatives:
- This game has clearly not been fully implemented for PC and keyboard & mouse. The tutorial talks about using the ‘left stick’ and ‘right stick’, which makes it even more difficult to understand the controls. The key bindings are at best tricky and at worst terrible: the game uses WASD for moving, arrow keys for moving the camera (the mouse does this too, but very slowly), and XFGHJKLI for menu selections. For some reason, I (i) is used for both favouriting items and switching between macro and micro, which means you end up with a load of favourites, and have to be extra careful not to press J and use them accidentally.

Dinosaur Shakespeare: To Date or Not To Date?
I guess I am one of the first reviews and I can see why. This game is not worth the asking price.
The game is pure nonsense. The self-awareness jokes are out of place and completely random.
There is no pacing, at all. The game is unnecessarily obtuse and convoluted in almost every facet of its writing and aesthetic. All of the clashing elements, which feel intentional, do not function well together and make the game incredibly difficult to follow or mentally gel together. The designs of the characters do not factor into their personality or habits at all. They don’t even seem to have a point or theme behind them. Beyond their interpersonal conflicts with each other, they are just “wacky and random” much like the game itself.

Go Home Dinosaurs!
Good casual tower defense game. Not too difficult and perfect for kids or casual adult gamers. The graphics are fun, the sound and music are fun, and the progression is good as you move through the 60 levels. Progression allows you to add more objects on the field. Some of these objects are different devices that shoot in different ways. Some freeze them, some use lasers to hit multiple targets, and more. Other objects are one time use objects such as a bomb, or an invite to 3 other friends to give you 4 shooters. Your main character is also a shooter at all times. While you can build different towers, you also get to use your character to attack the dinosaurs. Your character adds as a hero in a sense where entire battles can be won just using your character and not build a single tower. The dinosaurs vary and are quite different. Some dinosaurs fly, some run, some go really slow. Some are easy to kill while others take a lot of hits to go down.

I like tower defense games so I picked this up. It’s a little different from other TD games because the traps use blocks in different shapes so you can’t place one anywhere. There is only one end point. It means you can just focus on one point. Rest assured this is NOT easy at all especially if you have not unlocked the more powerful traps and power ups. And also, you get a cute little guy running around assisting in attacks and picking up coconuts for traps.
The small size of each map also adds to the challenge because you can’t spam traps and you have to be careful about placement. You CANNOT delete traps you’ve placed. Before each mission starts the game makes you pick a few traps or power ups using up to 9 slots. You can only use each trap or power up once so you can only have up to 9 traps in the game. If you want power ups, the traps will be even lesser.

If you like Point ‘n’ Click games and/or dinosaurs, this game is awesome!
Good:
-I love dinos and this game is awesome for dino fans for multiple reasons. Firstly, they don’t use the classics but instead most dinosaurs are species you won’t find in most popular media(some even I didn’t know yet!). Secondly, every dino species (plus other animals, plants and more) are detailed in an encyclopedia that you can choose to read. Fun for kids to read!
-The style is made to remind you of games like Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam, which I consider a plus as I played them a lot as a kid.

Baby Dino Adventures
This is a great platformer reminiscent of the old school ones but with a lot of original twists. And let’s face it, everything is so cute! 🤗
– Real player with 2.8 hrs in game
Baby Dino Adventures is a cute 2D platformer in which you control a young baby dinosaur as he collects eggs, destroys crates and makes friends by stomping on their heads. There’s even a vegan option that replaces the collectable steaks by broccoli (HOW CUTE IS THAT!?)
It’s a perfect game for kids (my 5yo daughters loves it!) as well as retro-loving parents who just want to have a great time.

Dinogotchi
Dinogotchi reminds me of all the tamagotchis I had as a child, they’re all dead… But Dinogotchi is different, the game has a nice and cute art, the music and sound effects are nice but I feel like the game in general could have a extra polish.
I recommend the game, especially for those who already had tamagotchis in their childhood or for those interested in the genre.

I am editing my review to update my opinions on the game, I will keep the original at the bottom of this for context, my biggest issues with parts of the game being unplayable is fixed so I think it’s fair and time to change this. :)
The developer of this game has done a good job at making a cute game and being open to criticism and fixing the problems. All the issues I reported were fixed really fast and it gives me a lot of hope for future updates.
The pixel art in the game is really well done, all the dinosaurs look cute and recognisable and overall really pleasant to look at. The UI is really nice and was updated recently to make the happiness, hunger and energy icons more clean which wasn’t necessary but a really nice change. The music is also very nice and cute, I enjoy it a lot, more songs would be nice but this is still good.

Dino Hazard: Chronos Blackout
Gorgeous prehistoric animal designs ! It’s good to see proper paleoart in a game that isn’t a walking simulator for once.
The dog was kind of annoying, but thankfully not for long ;^)

This review was made after completing the Beta.
Even at this stage Dino Hazard shows a lot of potential. The games setting and story are so far very interesting and while not 100% original, the more derivative elements are used in the best possible way rather then as a crutch. Do not be turned off by the games retro aesthetic, it’s very fun and runs smoothly. In fact it I rate it far more highly then maybe 99% of the Dinosaur games on steam.
This is a retro style rpg, you have the ability to explore an open world plus interior areas (which in themselves are pretty big) collecting items and solving puzzles. The enemies in this game are vary varied, including not just dinosaurs but a whole host of prehistoric life from multiple eras as well as several types of robot. The combat is turn based, in the same vain as EarthBound. Your characters are not visible on screen and the enemy sprites are static. When you attack sometimes an animation such as hand swinging a knife will appear, as a nice touch the weapon in the characters hand will change depending on what has been equipped. Despite combat’s simple animation, things can still get very tense and you will have to learn your enemies weaknesses in order to make things easier. Some aspects of combat are rather simple, others are a bit more complex but it’s not that hard to figure out. My one and only complain is that enemy attack turns can go by very quickly, making it a bit confusing as to what happened, but to balance that out not once did I feel things were being unfair.
