Prehistoric Kingdom is a rich meal of great variations of prehistoric animals and dinosaurs with natural behaviour, an incredible amount of nature elements to build with, endless creativity, beautiful visuals and promising management and logistics.
Let's go more into detail:
Building and creativity, two of the basics in Prehistoric Kingdom, are a lot of fun. You build piece by piece with various elements of buildings, structures and nature whatever you want or can imagine for your prehistoric park.
One of the features which fascinates me most here is scaling. Scaling in Prehistoric Kingdom is amazing! You can stretch or "squeeze" almost everything very easily to make, for example, rocks "broader or thinner", waterfalls longer, or beams longer, smaller, thinner, bigger... whatever you need. It feels fluid and goes easily. Autoscaling works satisfying as well.
Prehistoric Kingdom gives you a lot of building pieces, especially nature pieces. There is an incredible amount of plants, variations and nature elements. The Paleobotany (prehistoric plants) gives additional a unique, creative dimension in building nature scenery and giving the dinosaurs a natural habitat. And it also conveys a genuine prehistoric feeling and atmosphere.
The plants in general look fantastic, provided with incredible variations for every biome. Or you just mix it however you love it, as wild as nature is. And the rocks are also unique and great-looking, with variations like cliffs, normal rocks, stalactites, basalt rocks or stones. All perfect for creating wild-looking landscapes for your dinosaurs and visitors.
Another cool feature in Prehistoric Kingdom is that dinosaurs and animals grow seamlessly from cubs to adults. And not only that. Dinosaurs and animals look beautiful and are very lively, accurately and believably animated. There is even authentic fighting and hunting between the dinosaurs if you put the "right" species together.
Great variations of dinosaurs and prehistoric animals, like sabre tooth and mammoth, are included as well. Dinosaurs are more designed to be closer to paleontological research than the "monsters" known from movies or stories. I like that!
In general the game comes with wonderful graphics and detailed, realistic-looking animals. The day and night cycle and beautiful lighting look good already. And the water looks just stunning!
Great soundscapes make the game appear vivid and primeval. From menu clicks to dinosaur communication and animal sounds, everything fits. The background music got the typical "jurassic" vibes but is authentic, unique and very calming as well. Some kind of orchestral, smooth piano (seriously... don't make me cry with this soft piano) and "everything will be fine" vibes with a potion of magic. Great work!
While it is in early access, the creative part is already purely enjoyable and well-running and the dinosaurs and animals are an eye candy. Great watching them bring your habitat to life and fun creating vivid habitats for them.
The variation of nature elements, flora and rocks is my personal highlight on top of all. It is just amazing and priceless.
I'm really curious how management, logistics and guest behaviour will continue and grow, and I'm curious about the scenarios/campaigns on the horizon.
To my feeling the game generally runs stable and very smooth.
Prehistoric Kingdom is ambitious with a lot of love put into this game. It is definitely worth a try!
