So this game is my first non reccomended review after years of having good opinions on most games i've played. With very few dinosaur games out there and most of them being garbage or abandoned, this games horrible story is another reason not many people come into the community. It’s a shame because the dinosaur game community already has a horrible reputation for some reason half of them die off for no reason or end up being ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. My friend gifted me this game and I still want a refund. Normally i’d say I feel bad for the people who bought this game but instead I just wanna know how high they were and what the ♥♥♥♥ they were on when buying this game for a full 30 dollars or whatever it was on release. The game simply drove itself on the idea that it’s “The True JPOG Successor” and showed no actual content or promise to it to show that it had anything good to offer. While Prehistoric Kingdom pressed on and showed actual progress Mesozoica seemed to dig it’s grave deeper and deeper. The game really did not show any promise to me from the very start. Prehistoric Kingdom had a small following but was always the more promising of the two to me, everyone jumped on the Mesozoica bandwagon when BestInSlot made a video on the game showcasing it’s “Tech UI Demo” or whatever you wanna call this hot garbage. Those two were Prehistoric Kingdom and Mesozoica. Back around in 2014-15 times there were two main projects that divided from a failed game called “Jurassic Genetics”. But sadly with this game I knew it was a fluke from the start. Normally i’d say to myself “Wow! Another dinosaur game, and a JPOG type successor at that.” With the Tycoon games being my favorite genre of dinosaur game, with games like JPOG, Zoo Tycoon, and JWE being some of my favorite games out there, I absolutely love the genre and have spent hundreds of hours in the first two mentioned. To be fair, I am aware a complete overhaul had to take place at some point and until last month ai barely existed but the point stands this game was promised as something to revitalize a dead genre and maybe it could do that in the future but with the way it is more likely to go with this plant coaster clone crap then as a diehard JPOG lover and ethologist, I cannot recommend this game as it is. This game is obviously very early in development even after 3 years. In JPOG I would go to site B, get any behaviour mods and watch my dinos as their lives unfolded (In which this game should excel because it actually has the dinos grow in size over time which could lead to protective behaviour by senior members of herd animals but anyway), I would watch as my edmonty herd was stalked by a pack of raptors that had made their way from the other side of the island then start their attack and take one down, then a fight would break out as one of the raptors wanted to be in charge and so both sides displayed to eachother and fought and it was amazing. Thought: Honestly in JPOG, I never did the park part but I understand how people feel as if it doesn't exist in this anyway. Also a pachy chase a baryonyx to the edge of the map and kill it.) None of this is in the game, Herbivoures will chase a carnivour to the edge of the map, there is little interactions at all between dinosaurs of the same species let alone between other species and some things that just dont make sense (I had an parasaur chase a edmonty across the map and kill it for no apparent reason. Sound: Glitchy, the dinosaurs never vocalise and the music glitches in and out so most of the time the game is completely silent except for slight bird noises despite their being no birds or trees on the map.ĪI: This is important, the whole selling point of this game should be the ai of the dinosaurs, the complex social structures that form in herds of herbivoures and the pack mentaility or holding a territory/ rogue of a carnivoure. Gameplay: Not much to say, you could build a park but whats the point there is no progression or any structure and you are given planet coaster style blocks which you have to make yourself, if like me you have very little time or creative ability, then you are screwed. Graphics: Beautiful, nicely modelled dinosaurs and skins. I still stand by my original thoughts at this point that, people with limited money this is NOT worth buying as you are not receiving what is advertised, if however you have money to spare then investing in this game could really unveil a gem in the future.įirst off, this is NOT the next JPOG as was promised 3 years ago, this is a barebones planet coaster mod with dinosaurs. The developers have listened to complaints and are steadily working to improve the game, this is a very good sign. With updates coming into the game at a decent pace. So it's been a few months now aaaaaaaand nothing.no changes very little communication with the community, oh well Jurassic world evolution looks good!
