ORION: Prelude
Many people asked me about the game „Orion: Dino Horde“. So I have written a review now. ^^
First I have to say that the game has just 36/100 Metascore. But the Metascore was for the game “Dino Beatdown”, not for “Orion: Dino Horde” and the game hasn’t only changed the name, its totally different now.
For many people it’s still not a good game, because of a not perfect graphic (uff.. for me the graphic looks alright – I would give for it 7/10 points. – You can take a look at my Screenshots), some bugs (really the most Shooter Multiplayer Games have bugs/glitches…) and the not so realistic weapon sounds or I DON’T KNOW WHY!

UPDATE : ORION PRELUDE
There simply aren’t enough games with dinosaurs & even fewer of these that are actually worth playing! For me, Orion: Prelude (O:P) is that rare exception. Although not much in way of a story in the game (no single player after all), there is quite a tale on how Orion came to be the game it is today…
The short version is, that O:P is an evolution of previous Orion titles, Dino Horde & Dino Beatdown originally dating back to a successful 2011 Kickstarter campaign. Although recieving early criticism (that would normally kill a game ..dead.. disappearing into obscurity), the game continued to evolve with constant updates (big & small) over the years from the developers. Spiral stuck with it! This dedication & gradual refinement of the game has resulted in an excellent first-person co-op experience, with a well rounded collection of modes, weapons, enviromental effects, vehicles & more to enjoy.

Primal Carnage: Extinction
Beginning/P2W?
For a game that went quiet for about a year, its begun updating again with new events, a new dinosaur class, and new rarity. Im going to be entirely honest despite my love for the game. There is a significant skill gap in this game for those who are just starting it. While this game is cheap the store imo is a good bit overpriced with mutations being nearly 10$(does not exceed this) and regular skins ranging from 3$ to 6$.
While the store is expensive or not you can go about purchasing skins a different way and utilize the market to negate this if that is your only worry with purchasing this game.

I’m not even going to touch on balance issues and glitches and whatnot; there are plenty of reviews that cover these things in depth. While I’m sympathetic to the fact that the dev team has neither the manpower, time or money to actually do anything but they try to push on regardless, there are plenty of issues I cannot turn a blind eye to.
Like many others, my biggest grievances come from the community itself. However, despite what many reviewers say about “roleplayers ruining the game,” I have in my time rarely encountered roleplayers outside of RP servers (which I do not use at all). It’s almost as if you have to actively search for these things, imagine that!

Second Extinction™
After having not played this game for over a month, I had to click enter about 100 times until I could get to a mission selection screen…
It also keeps bothering me to upgrade the account…
Don’t buy this game if not being able to get into a game fast is important to you!

I honestly really love this game, but it crashes so often that it’s insulting to me and my time; and this has been an issue for many seasons. I always come back hoping they fixed the crashes just to spend an hour or more in an expedition and having the game crash before I can extract with 5 stars. It’s nice how you get some rewards as compensation, but this is just a workaround to the issue and does not reward you based on your time/effort spent and wasted. Please wait for the game to be fixed before buying.

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
When i think back to my childhood, My mind instantly goes back to what i consider to be my nostalgia days.
Games like DOOM, Timesplitters Duke Nukem, basically raised me as a young lad.
But if theres a game that i have a raging hard on for other than Doom, its Turok 2 Seeds Of Evil a game that for the longest time was nearly impossible for me to get my hands on.
After legally obtaining it and totally not torrenting it, the original pc port was finally mine and it was time to experience one of the games i grew up with as an adult.

When I played Turok: Dinosaur Hunter a few years ago I was impressed with Night Dive Studios’ ability to remaster classics from the past. The remastered game inspired me to buy Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. I didn’t play either game when they were released in the 1990s, so I wanted to experience both games. When I saw screenshots and videos of Turok 2 from 1998 I thought that the graphics were too blocky, and the lighting was murky. I can say that the remastered Turok 2 significantly improves on the graphics and the gameplay is quite intense.

Dino D-Day
This game is absurd, and fun to play… usually. Pitting the Allies vs the Axis in an alternate history where Germany clones dinosaurs to fuel their war effort, the Axis forces have a near monopoly on the Dinos. This doesn’t mean that the Allies are any less fun to play though. Trigger, the Allies sole dino is one of the better ones, with a charge ability, and a solid machine gun to use.
Playing at the Allies is more a straightforward FPS, with relatively standard classes. There is an assault, a sniper, a medic, all the regulars, and they do quite well against the dinosaurs, to the point that with a competitive team, the Axis forces have a bit of a harder time of things. Shotguns end dinos, sniper rifles end dinos from a distance. The Allies have a clear advantage on range in general. With a female french resistance medic, and a female sniper, I am also happy to see that I can play as a woman for once in an FPS. One that isn’t merely relegated to a healer or noncombat class. This is pretty rare, and most people won’t care, but I think it is pretty cool. Also of note is that several classes have area of effect buffs, such as accuracy or healing, allowing small squads to become even more deadly.

This game is fun. No matter your skill, no matter your system, no matter the class you choose. This game embodies the ultimate dream of all young boys and I can assume many young girls. WW2 mixed with Dinos I mean it’s magic! I awaited this game from the moment I heard of it. It’s surprising a game like this took so long to come out. But the similarity to UT is what really makes this game fun for old school gamers. Let’s be honest ever since Halo and CS ruined gaming forever people have been waiting for a game that isn’t realistic. If I wanted to crouch and steady myself before every shot I’d go play paintball. I want to jump and flip like a jackass while some poor sap tries to shoot the ball of rubber I’ve become. It’s simple the matrix was cool that’s what I want from a game… any game. That said the graphics are ok at best but the gameplay more than makes up for it. The only real problem I have is getting hung up on walls and corners it’s sort of the one button mouse of gaming. A nearly unforgivable sin since it was fixed in most games long ago. All things considered it’s a great little number I’ll be playing for years to come. -SEF

Dinos Reborn
I am Payton, the (last?) survivor of the expedition I do not recall. I woke up in an escape pod in a place I do not know. The creepy sounds around me, mean one thing. I AM NOT ALONE!
Haunted by unanswered questions. The flashes of memories of the spaceship, the crew… and a mystical force keep reappearing in my dreams.
Trapped in a place where the past & future become the present and dinosaurs alive again.
I must evolve my survival skills, explore this unknown planet to solve its mystery, and discover its true nature and the reason for being here.
I must survive!… Payton Out!
Prepare to be surprised. For reasons unknown, some of the dinosaurs in this place are overly aggressive towards you. They are driven by something more than instinct and hunger. You’ll learn the reasons for this behavior if you will live long enough. Predators can hunt day and night. They can fight each other or work together.
Survival of the fittest. In this world, the number of ways you can die and things that can kill you is essentially limitless. Hunger, thirst, fatigue – fail to manage them, and you’re gone. An infected wound that you didn’t take care of in time? Bye-bye! Poison spreading throughout your body? You’d better look for healing herbs and change your diet, or no one will ever hear from you again. All this without even mentioning the huge predators roaming the land. Be vigilant, mask your scent, use camouflage, keep quiet, find a good spot to hide, and maybe, maybe you’ll make it ‘til morning.
You begin on this unknown planet with only your bare hands, sticks, and stones. You need food, water, shelter, fire, medicine, weapons, and many other things if you want to stay alive. The catch – you need to do all of this yourself. Tools will lead you to weapons, weapons to food, food to strength, strength to the ability to build traps, snares, fortifications, shelters, and eventually an entire base. The last will be crucial to your survival, which is your ultimate goal.
You don’t remember who you are or why you are here. The world around you is as dangerous as it is beautiful and mysterious. Exploring vast amounts of the terrain might reveal more wonders and unexpected encounters than you would expect. As you explore, you will come across unknown technology. Some of it will be recognizable to you. Others will be alien. You will find plenty of evidence that people were here, or maybe still are. Look for clues, notes, maps to find hidden places and discover the great secrets of this place, and to find who you are and what is the reason of being here.
You wake up on a beach with rainforests in your sight. It’s up to you to decide which direction to go. There is no invisible wall around here. It takes “just” 25 minutes to run from one end of this place to another. What keeps you from getting further? That is up to you to find out! While exploring vast amounts of terrain, one may encounter things beyond imagination. Before setting off on an adventurous trip, it is worth building a base. Once you have assembled all the tools you need, you can start building it.
The rules of this planet are quite simple. Kill or be killed. Hunt or become prey. Eat or be eaten. Here, even the smallest insect can become the cause of your doom. Simultaneously, you will often encounter creatures that will tolerate or even like you. Discovering who is friend versus foe will be one of the most important tasks ahead of you. Learn how to sneak up on creatures. Analyze their tracks, observe their habits, look for their weak points, and find the best moment to attack. Remember that each animal has a different sense of smell, hearing, and sight. As an experienced hunter, you will be able to hunt at night, but so will the creatures hunting you, so you should be all eyes and ears at all times.
Unlearn what you have learned. The unknown phenomenon can make dinosaurs behave unpredictably and look differently. Even the most hardcore dinosaurs geeks need to be on guard.

Primal Carnage
Primal Carnage is a game I can entertain myself for hours on end. Whether you’re in it for the killing or just to mess around and role play (rp). I Recommend this game. It’s true this game hasn’t been updated in months or maybe even a year now but even so it makes a great game none the less. If you want to feel a realistic dinosaur game then this one should be on your list of games to try.
The gameplay is quite smooth if you have a decent connection to the internet, it only gets laggy if there is a player with a high ping or your internet is just slow. It’s a very smooth game and this is why I prefer it over Primal Carnage Extinction. The “improved” primal carnage (Extinction) is just too choppy for me and it just doesn’t have the same feel that Primal Carnage gives. When I fly as a ptera I feel free, I could spend hours just flying around a map doing tricks and going under/over hard to reach places. Bonus: Pteras can actually speed up in this game by diving, wheras in Extinction you’re basically just looking to get killed if you’re a ptera. The movement of the dinos feels realistic, for example the raptor pounces at what seems within logic (in game it looks to be around 15ft). The rex doesn’t vacuum you up into it’s mouth, you actually have to aim to eat the human. Dilos are a much harder class to play, so if you like challenges then you should play that class and try to get atleast 5 kills without dying. Another thing that I like about the gameplay is the accuracy in aiming, it seems very realistic although the bullets don’t slow down, they shoot the same speed as far as you want. Even still this game is quite fun.

Yes, this game is dead. None the less, I wanted to give this game a review, since it’s one of my most beloved games ever.
I’ve bought this game back in the day when it was still supported and not that long released on Steam yet. It was kinda an early early acces game, so before Steam’s EA-phase. It was released, but still very early in development, it still would get more dinos, maps, more modes etcetera. But man I loved it. I love dinosaurs, I love shooting the place up, what could go wrong? Well, long story short; an abandoned game does the trick.

Dinosaur Hunting Patrol 3D Jurassic VR
Does not work, don’t waste your money. Instructions are non-existent. Shows a circle to use to teleport but no way to actually teleport. No hint of objectives or game play, they expect you to just figure it out as you go. No guides. No discussion of any kind. Until now, no user reviews to let you know how bad it is.
If there is anyway to actually play this game there are no instructions to let you know how to do so.

Prehistoric Hunt
Game is progressing very well: interesting dino species to hunt and more to come :D Hard enough to hunt dinos with different weapons. Still, lots of running around to find the place to took contracts so it would be nice to have some vehicles to move around.

This game so far is reminds me of my childhood favorite dinosaur hunting game Carnivores and a mixture of The Hunter: Primal. even though it only has 7 dinos right now to hunt I still say its worth the nostalgia. I would recommend if they put in a system where the hunters could be transported to different parts of the map and maybe more maps like how they have in Carnivores, as well as maybe a gps you could pull out and find the dinos or way or better tracking. I also think some of thet contract prices should be bumped up or things in the shop to be lowered. All though this game is in alpha build it does show promise and I hope to see its full release to be what I hope they are going towards

Turok
I’ve been a VERY LONG and dedicated fan to the Turok franchise since I was a child. Turok and Turok 2 were my first FPS games I have ever played, and I played them repeatedly as a child and into adulthood.
I have every N64 game, PC port, Gameboy game, Turok Evolution, and even the incredibly average Turok 2008 on PS3 and PC. I even dabbled in the comics, toys, and collectables.
You’re, most likely, coming here from the N64 version of Turok, and that’s fine. To be honest, there were few differences, even visually, from the original PC port and the N64 port of Turok: The Dinosaur Hunter. On modern systems, there were a few glitches with the PC port, such as the music randomly cutting off entirely, and some visual hiccups.

Warning, this game holds a lot of Nostalgia for me, as this was my second most played game on my N64 back in the day. (Turok 2 being my most played.) *I still own my copies and they still work.
Turok Dinosaur Hunter was, in my mind, one of the BEST FPS games on the N64. Some would argue that 007 Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were better, but Turok was basically the QUAKE/DOOM of the N64. Fast paced and total devastation to your enemies, which is why I hale this better than 007 and Perfect Dark. The quickness and speed to it and the feel of the weapons made it more fun to me than the others.
