Saurian

Awesome. Maybe more updates, though.

The potential man of dinosaur survival simulators.

Saurian is one of those games I really want to recommend, because the concept itself is genuinely great. Playing as an actual dinosaur and trying to survive in a relatively grounded prehistoric ecosystem is exactly the kind of thing I want more games to attempt. Unfortunately, as a complete game, Saurian still feels very far from finished. The gameplay is already quite slow by nature, which I personally don't mind too much, but it becomes much harder to overlook when combined with the amount of bugs, unfinished mechanics and the fact that the game explains almost nothing to you. A lot of the time you're not really learning through gameplay, you're just trying to figure out whether something is intentional, unfinished or simply broken. The biggest problem for me is the development pace. Updates have been extremely slow for years, to the point where it increasingly feels like development has quietly died. The developers have explained the circumstances behind this in the past, and I can sympathize with that, but unfortunately an explanation doesn't make the actual state of the game any better. There is still something special here. The setting, attention to paleontology and the basic idea behind Saurian are enough that I can enjoy spending time with it despite all of its problems. But that also makes it frustrating, because there is so much potential here that has never really been realized. I can't really recommend Saurian as a game in its current state. If you're specifically a big fan of dinosaurs, paleontology and this particular setting, and you're willing to put up with a very slow game, plenty of bugs, very little guidance and potentially waiting forever for meaningful updates, there is definitely something here to enjoy. For everyone else, I would wait and see if Saurian ever actually reaches the game it was supposed to become.

I've had this game for 5 years and at this point, I'm getting tired of it. The gameplay has barely changed since I bought it and some aspects just don't work. My main issue with Saurian is the ease of play. the easiest difficulty is too hard. I get what they were going for, but if you want to make a realistic Dinosaur simulator that is engaging to players, the lowest difficulty needs to be more like Minecraft Survival mode on Peaceful. If you enjoy the mundane life of a Triceratops, then it's okay, but being a solo carnivore in pre-Alpha is really, really hard. I have spent most of my recent game surviving off carion, turtles and the occasional crocdile. If you're going to play this game as a carnivore, wait until they add Tyrannosaurus, but given the development rate, that may never happen.

game fell off, havent gotten a dev up date sense 2023

I recomend this a lot! Yes, I know it was abandoned and the A.I sucks, but besides that, the graphics are AMAZING! The only thing I don't like is that we only have 2 playables, other than that, I love this game! Worth 20$

Não recomendo por causa de tanto de ANOS que já está em "acesso antecipado", nada de novo e só foi um scam mesmo...
