  How to say this... What works? The achievements. A big pile of them. Started the game? Here is an achievement. Walked left, right? Here are two more of them... Jumped? Omg, here is ANOTHER achievement. Is it day? Bang, one more... Crouch? Holster? Fire without a gun in your hands? All of this will give you a dumb torrent of achievements. Like, 23 in 10 minutes. This reason alone is enough for me to hate the game. What doesn't work? A lot of things actually, but the most annoying is the attack system, where clearly programming of features is missing. If you watch the video with this review you will see how you can stand near a dinosaur attacking you but giving no damage at all. I stood for like 4 minutes in the same place before this ferocious raptor could kill me. This is a Early Access game. It doesn't mean the price tag currently on is fair - because it is not. Perhaps one or two more weeks of programming before uploading to the Store would make a difference, perhaps not, but here is Dinosaur Forest being a strong disapointment on me. Please don't get me wrong: It took me 5 seconds to see the game, purchase it and proceed to install it, as the dino-lover I am. I really wanted the game to be good, but as of now it is too much broken to be actually enjoyed. And should we say something about optimization? A mountain, a player controller and one single dinosaur make of the first map a lag hell already. Sadly, much bug, few dinos. My review is 100% negative AS OF NOW, but, as this is an Early Access I am watching closely for upgrades and bug fixes to see if the developers can make of it a reasonably good game. The idea is there and I like it, the game itself is just too much broken. [code] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc0wvu-XTFM [/code]

  So, what do we got here? Another crappy Dinosaur-themed early-access game. This game is developed by the same guys who released "Dinosaur Hunt" - You should be warned. In the current state there are the following "features": - Two maps, one for the tutorial, and another one for the "campaign". - The so called "campaign": Survive 10 rounds, called "days", and kill dinosaurs to succeed. - Five weapons: Axe, Sword, Flashlight, Bow and Heavy Bow. - Four different enemies: Raptor, Triceratops, Stegosaurus and T-Rex. - Dozens of ultra-simple achievements (Press "W" to move forward -> Achievement unlocked!) How is the gameplay? Forget about the Axe, the Sword, and the Flashlight. The only useful weapon is the bow. You start playing on the only map (Achievement unlocked!), running in circles to avoid contact with the dinosaurs and shoot them in the head (Achievement unlocked!). If you're low on ammo, collect some (Achievement unlocked!). When its getting dark, pause the game and activate "Nightvision" in the menu (Achievement unlocked!). Try that with the other effects like "Colors", "Rain", or "Thermal Vision" - guess whats coming next? Right! Achievement unlocked. Conclusion: Running around on the only map and killing four kinds of dinosaurs with the bow. Beware, Triceratops and T-Rex need MANY arrows to the head until they're dead (There are headshot Achievements, of course). Prediction for the future: The game will stay in the early-access phase for the next six months. After these six months and a few changes regarding the gameplay the game will leave the early-access phase. To increase the profit, some DLCs will be released, like "Replacing-the-dinos-with-Aliens-stuff", "Adding-WW2-weapons-stuff" or "Replacing-the-enemies-with-Zombies-stuff", and the game will be another add to the "heartless ramshackled, never finished" game section. Avoid!

  I've played a lot of dinosaur games in my time. That is all.

  So to sum this game up: Someone bought some badly copied Jurassic Park models (even with the same sounds) from Turbosquid and threw them on a small map, where the player has to hunt them (or gets hunted). To be honest, the only satisfying thing about this game is, how easily you get achievements. You literally get half of them for just using w, a, s, d, jump, crouch, etc. If the "dev" of this game just made this for practice purposes and would have added it for free it would be *okay*. I'm sure there are some people, who enjoy such cheaply made games, but since said person actually charges money for it, there is no way around a negative rating. Also I am not sure, if using said JP models and sounds is even allowed. Highly doubt it is, so I wouldn't be surprised, if this gets taken off of Steam at some point.

  Dinosaur Forest is the game that made me say out loud "Holy shit, this game is weirder than Soda Drinker Pro!". I didn't think that would ever happen. This game makes absolutley no sense. You'll find youself thrown into bizarre landscapes where the night sky and stars/moon are shining, yet the landscape is clearly lit by sunlight. There'll be times when it is raining harder than a monsoon, yet the sky will be perfectly clear blue sunshine. The only constant is that you'll be given cryptic instructions in broken "Russian" English regarding "pack of raptors" being annoyed by your general existance, and slaughering said "blood suckers" with whatever random weapons you end up pulling out of a box. ([url=http://steamcommunity.com/id/sennecasyprian/screenshots/?appid=506730&sort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=imagewall]Screenshots here.[/url]) When you do manage to get a weapon (this can be anything from a sword and sheild, to an M4-Carbine), you'll be tasked with slaughtering waves of dinosaurs hell bent on eating your face. The AI is incredibly stupid and even if you run out of ammo for your ranged waepons, you can still easilly bludgeon the bastards to death, and the dinosaurs will explode into a bloody mess of slow motion flying limbs, while you get an achievement. Speaking of achievements, you'll get one for literally everything you'll do. Figure out how to jump? Achievement. Look left? Achievement. Shit your pants? Achievement. It almost feels like the whole game is a participation trophy. Overall, I would say go into this game with the absolute minimum of expectations. If you want a campy, blow 'em up, dino shooter, sure, I'd say at the $0.25 this game is going for is worth it. If you're looking for a serious or super polished game that you can take seriously, I'd say save your quarter. I for one, enjoyed the ride and will have fun pissing off pack of raptors for the motherland!

  Dinosaur Forest + Easy to get achievements + Unarmed combat is also very well - No special conditions on the pending menu item - After the campaign, the game has nothing to do - The game is an absolute disaster - Poor texture quality ----------

  Easy 100% achievements, but the game isn't worth playing.

  [h1] This game is incredibly bad. [/h1] Only 1 single map, yes!!! You play and play forever in the same MAP! Yes, I say again, only 1 single MAP! There are 60 "days" (levels) in that exactly the same map. Which makes the game incredibly repetitive and boring. The game is exactly the same as the Dinosaur Hunt, it is the same developer, but there is only one difference between the 2 games: in this game you play in only 1 map. Even the weapons are alike. The game has a lot achievements, 340 achievements in March 04 2017. The developer of this game is well known for always being adding achievements in all the games that he develops, he just keeps on adding. So, even if you buy the game just because of the achievements, I do not recommended that you make the purchase. So believe me, this game even being cheap is [b] NOT WORTH IT. [/b]

  Don't support asset pack garbage Fresh off the Unity asset store we have another pile of garbage. The game has no depth. The developer is making tonnes of cash from people buying all their horrendous asset pack games. But he has 1 genius idea, the people who buy the game can be thats it ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE GAME. YOU CAN BE AN ACHIEVEMENT IN THIS SHITTY GAME. If you think that's worth it go ahead, if not don't waste your gemmies on this shit.

  This is the most blatant cash grab I've ever seen on Steam. I've never felt so dirty playing a game because I gave the developer money. The game is just running around a tiny map killing dinosaurs and it's next to impossible to die. It is just not enjoyable and I feel the only people buying it are just looking for fast achievements. Please don't support a developer that makes a terrible game stuffed with achievements just to make a quick buck. Looking at past reviews, they stated the game was $1 full price. The game has since been increased to $1.99 for unknown reasons.

  Probably one of the stupidest games I ever played in 20 years. You basically have one-minute missions in which you're always invincible and have to kill two enemies. That's all, there's nothing else in the whole game. Two maps, poor and bugged graphics and nothing else. Waste your time on this only if you want some easy achievements (they're totally random), otherwise if you are a gamer and want something good in your hands, this is pure avoidable crap.

  Well...what can I say. 1300+ achievements in under half an hour - all rubbish, nothing that related to anything. This IS the worst game of all time - after saying Dinosaur hunt was one of the worst games of all time, it seems that this one is actually the worst. I feel robbed having bought it and have lost respect for myself both for buying and for playing it, especially after how I felt from the Dinosaur Hunt game... Lord forgive me, for I have truly sinned.

  It's just another cheap asset-flip cash-grab loaded with a ton of easily obtained achievements to bait achievement hoarders and card traders, the type of garbage content you expect from the "developers" Racing Bros.
