Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Reborn
- Environments are beautiful. The game doesn’t feature more advanced technologies like volumetric lighting, but still it offers some beautiful sights. The graphics options don’t offer many options for tweaking the performance - most importantly you can adjust the detail drawing distance and turn on/off Advanced Grass. The Advanced Grass is basically a richer ground foliage. While it didn’t seem to significantly affect the performace, I used to have it turned it off for practical reasons - so I could see the animals farther while I was stalking them crouched. The environment still looks very nice even with basic grass. Drawing distance setting has a bigger impact on performance, but most contemporary computers shouldn’t have a problem running it fluently even on maximum setting. Alas the quality of the textures is variable. While some are sufficienlty detailed, some others as if came from the past era of 16-32MB VRAM graphics cards.

Carnivores 2 and Carnivores: Ice Age was the first games I got on my PC back in the day, and I played them to death. I even got my original copies somewhere…
I even got mobile versions of both games on my android phone and play them from time to time. Those versions are actually superior to PC, since they both run extremely well and got some new creatures thrown in for free (18 in mobile version as of time of writing this review compared to PCs 9).
So how does this hold up?
P.S. For short version, see TL;DR/ Conclusion at the end

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

The Dinosaurs Are Here
The Dinosaurs Are Here is a physics-based sandbox game set in a nowadays park where you can control a dinosaur.
Hunt for humans and try to survive against the park security guards!
The game features procedural animations, an advanced dinosaur IK system, and ragdoll humans that you can grab, eat and throw as a dinosaur.
You will need to manage your hunger, thirst, health, and stamina during your play.

You will be able to control your head and tail in a simple yet advanced way.

RAGDOLL HUMANS
Grab humans and have fun with them!
Depending on the angle of your attacks you will have the possibility to take a human from his hands, legs, neck, or spine.
THROW OBJECTS
Each object will be pickable depending on your mass and the object’s mass.
That means that a big dinosaur will have a better chance to pick a big object, while a small dinosaur will only be able to pick smaller objects.
Also, bigger objects will mean slower head movement when holding them, which translates into smaller throw distances.
ADVANCED AI
The AI will have an advanced perception system that will rely on sight and hearing.
If you make too many noises they will be able to hear you from a great distance and escape if they are normal civilians or chase you if they are security guards.

They broke the Evrima version pretty bad a few months ago and left it that way, for all but a few new test servers they operate ( extremely poorly, I might add). So all the community servers have bugs saving your dinosaurs and most have fallen to 0 and even shut down operations. A few reverted back to the original version of the game. That version is a dead-end development wise, but I guess a solution for some is you want to play yesterdays years game. Things for a new player are just too messed up right now so hold off until after Evrima update 4 or even possibly update 5 is out. The mechanics are really changing now so it could be the best game then or very possibly a waste of money. Before, all of this I would of said buy it for sure, as my 1000+ hours played in Evrima shows.

I actually enjoyed the gameplay somewhat, but this game is very grindy to get the achievements instead of being skill/progression based. I’ve played some of the levels 20+ times and I still need to do it more times to get enough diplodocus skins. There are also only 2 maps and a few weapons. This game might be fine at bundle price, but there is not very much actual gameplay. The majority of the time spent playing will be grinding.

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.

Deer Hunt Legends
Well, I was going to say this was a decent if cheesy game…then I died and discovered the hidden, completely broken P2W cash shop you need to buy more lives in that others have mentioned. Hello to starting a new save and just replaying past missions on higher difficulty to rack up a few hours of play time instead.
If you’re still curious about DHL it’s an arcade on-rails timed animal shooter that badly shows its age in the visual and audio departments, nothing more. Usually every 15 to 20 levels you’ll face a boss animal, beating that will unlock a new area for you to rinse and repeat in, just with one or two new “legendary” animals. Provided you get killed in the T-Rex boss fight (yes, really) in the second area like I did, you can expect about an hour twenty of gameplay for your cash.

Considering I purchased this game for a little over a dollar, It’s not bad really. My main issue with this game is that it doesn’t come with sound. You have to manually download the “wrap_oal” zip file, move it to the games folder, extract here, etc.

Xenociders
After I’ve read a review comparing the game with Turok on nintendo 64, yes I played it too in the 90th, I thought it could be good fun. Indeed my son and I are not disappointed, 10 hours and ongoing says everything. Hunting dinos in VR is definitely topping the 2D gaming from the past, tried the old game again and decided that’s not working for us anymore. However, the scenery is beautiful, love the jungle, the little alien like monsters jumping out of their eggs reminding me much on mini “Aliens”, of course, and add great fun. Somehow one can’t stop playing unless you die. Re-spawning is sometimes tricky, stand still don’t move the headset or you easily hang in the glitch with no way out. Graphics are great but my 1060 GTX has a hard job to do. Not the games fault, just need to upgrade to a better card. That said, if you like great jungle landscape, dinos and aliens, sniper rifles and all kind of weapons which are getting better the more you play, then that’s the game for you. Devs, you have created a fantastic scenery and game, only wished the day and night cycles would be a little longer, both look stunning though.

This is a quite nice survival adventure VR game. It is early access at the moment but was apparently forced out early by the publisher. It has quite nice atmosphere and gives the feeling of a mid Xbox-360 era game which I feel adds to it, this also makes the load times almost 0. Its a nice 5 hour long game overall.

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.
