Dec. 2024

I wish steam had a mixed option. Pretty much the same as any other review will say. EXTREMELY repetitive. I think you could even say it falsely advertises itself a bit too. The prologue very much sets it up as this narrative focused game, so you'd assume that you are going to be following this narrative the whole game. You aren't. There's no more of it after the prologue, at least that I've found. Most of the games strengths come in how it is one of those repetitive task games where you don't have to think too hard, just like any cleaning game. This one takes the repetition to the extreme though, and really starts to get old fast. Good enough as a game, but there's definitely better games out there unless you REALLY like dinosaur anatomy. Passable as a game on sale though. Definitely not at full price.

this game is everything I could ever want from a fossil hunting game and more. god I love fossils.

Sept. 2024

It's repetitive, but it's nice to zone out and listen to an audiobook as I dig out an entire hillside. Speaking of...yeah, the extra tools and such are kinda pointless if you just can dig all the dirt and stone away from the entire location. Still, I enjoy it, probably not for everyone. The decoration is okay, I would have liked to hang the pterandons from the ceiling but oh well. I feel the biggest missed opportunity was in education. It would have been fantastic to say...get a little description of each bone as I'm assembling it. Just a little blurb of text in the corner saying what it is called. Also would've loved more details on each species we assemble. Like...the target audience is clearly dino nerds, let us nerd out! It's also a little buggy with the workstations, controlling where you are in relation to the bones/rotating the bones so you can get everything assembled only works half the time. Oh...and I really hate the driving bits. Just let me spawn at the dig sites. But still...overall it's chill, and I enjoy it.

Bought this game to play with my son and absolutely love it. Just overall great content and well put together! Good job guys 5 Star

Aug. 2024

Pretty bare bones game but enough for the price and rather unique a few things that I feel its missing though are an in game currency or a way to get NPC visitors as the museum feels empty and nearly pointless, the game is still fun regardless and very chill making it a good choice for those times you just want to relax with a game.
