What players say

in all honesty this is a pretty decent game, the fact this is a recreation of the classic mobile game i played when i was a kid makes it so nostalgic, sure it could have some tweaks but overall its amazing, i love dinosaurs and this game makes me love them even more. If you played the Carnivores: Dinosaur hunter/ige age on mobile as a kid, this might be for you

I played Carnivores 2 back in the day and I just loved it, I saw this and just had to try it. playing it on my steam deck and I absolutely love it. now it feels like an older game and if you are playing this for the graphics like you are in the wrong spot(don't get me wrong I think it looks good but like in the retro feels old school kinda way). the charm and nostaligia Im getting from this is great. Now if you want...
CortezRecommendedafter 2.8hMar 2026Read on Steam
Very poor attempt and recreating the original. Honestly lazy development. If you want to play the original game this doesn't feel the same at all and has a bunch of crap glitches/bugs/pure laziness on the devs part.
