A few weeks ago, my friend and I decided to buy The Isle on a whim. Neither of us had ever played a dinosaur survival game before, so we were diving into uncharted territory. We began our journey as baby stegosauruses, cautiously stepping out of the sanctuary's protective bounds into the unknown world. Not long after, we encountered a small herd of fellow stegos. They took us under their wing, teaching us the ways of survivalโ€”how to grow, how to defend ourselves, and how to navigate the dangers of this wild world. Together, we traveled toward the South Plains, the horizon stretching ahead of us with every step. But as night fell, the senior members of our herd logged off, leaving us to continue our journey alone. By the river, we came across a young Diabloceratops being harassed by a group of raptors. With a combination of surprise and instinct, we fought backโ€”though, as sub-adult stegos, our mere presence was often enough to make the predators back off. It was in that moment, without realizing it, that we adopted the young Diabloceratops. He stuck close by us as we roamed across hills, through forests, and along rivers. As the miles passed, we encountered a large group of adult Diabloceratops. They called to the young one, beckoning him back to his family. We called back, reassuring him that it was okay to go. But despite their callโ€”and oursโ€”he refused to leave our side. We continued our journey, growing thirsty from the miles we had covered. We reached a river and lowered our heads to drink, unaware that this seemingly peaceful moment would mark the end of our journey. From the water, a massive Deinosuchus erupted in a sudden flash of power, dragging my friend under. In a desperate attempt to save them, I fought with everything I had, but it wasnโ€™t enough. The creature's grip was too strong, and soon, I too was pulled beneath the surface. As we were dragged away, the last sound we heard was our adopted child calling out, a mournful cry echoing across the water. Though we were lost, he had filled his thirst and, somehow, survived to live another day.

While alot of the time there are players who have WAY too much fun causing havoc and going on killing sprees... There are also just as many who are there to make friends and have fun with. It is because of those types of people that i Love this game. Helped me go through a really tough breakup, and now im married with my firstborn son on the way. Love this game!

Terrible game. You work for hours to grow a dinosaur. You learn to love this creature, help it live a full life, have children of it's own, only to watch it starve to death in a poorly placed hole you can't jump out of. 10/10 will do again.
