alright so honestly, i want to hate this game for a variety of reasons (cough... cough... no autosave... cough... cough...). i've played this game for about an hour, got thru the first episode, and enjoyed it a lot. the keycards thing kind of reminds me of dusk. where you have to explore the different areas to get the keys and progress to the next area. this game seems to take a lot of inspiration from dino crisis as well as games like doom and quake, which i very much appreciate. the puzzles aren't hard, (edit: some of them are kind of confusing lol, currently stuck on the meltdown level), but they're pretty satisfying to solve once you finally figure out a puzzle you've been stuck on for a few minutes. one of the main things i hate, especially when combined with the lack of autosave, is the rapid death times. literally one wrong move at the wrong time and you're dead with all your progress from the last 20 minutes going down the drain UNLESS YOU SPECIFICALLY REMEMBER TO CLICK THAT SAVE BUTTON! i can appreciate the game for what it is, it's a dinosaur game trying to emulate the older classic ps2 games, and i honestly get a lot of that from this game. i also want to mention that as someone who's used to games like cruelty squad, where quick death times due to mistakes are a commonality, i can appreciate a game like dino trauma which is trying to emulate an old classic, while also being both punishing and rewarding. the game does a great job at actually giving you that dopamine spike when finally figuring something out, or getting that keycard you needed. this game very much reminds me of one of those arcade Jurassic Park games where there's two guns attached to the machine and you have to fight the waves of dinosaurs, it's like that except not nearly as fast paced, and involves using your brain more (i.e. puzzles, having knowledge of the map to not get insta-one-tapped by some random boobytrap. all-in-all, give this game a try if you like boomer shooters or dinosaurs, or even if you like puzzles mixed with the fps genre, you'd probably enjoy this game.

Experienced on the Meta Quest 3. VR REVIEW ONLY! You can view my VR Gameplay here: https://youtu.be/olPiaLYS6yc Yes, you can play Dino Trauma in VR using the VR mod by Astien. You can find his VR mods listed on his Github. The mods are totally free, but you do have to join his friend's discord channel. This mod features full motion controller support! Yes, you can play in VR with 6DOF! There is no better way to play this game! The mod is as easy as downloading, then extracting, and then copying the contents to the game's folder. Also remember to turn off strafe turning in the game-settings! You may also want to increase X-axis and Y-axis for easier movement and turning. This game plays like those 90s boomer shooters you either love or you are ambivalent about! I liked it. My only complaint would be that I was getting 45 fps on my RTX 3080. The game needs to be better optimized! No reason why I shouldn't be getting a steady 90 FPS!! VR Rating 7.5/10. I bought this game!

I really like this game but it needed quicksaves. The only possible explanation for their absence I can think of is that this is clearly trying to hearken back to the PS1 era survival horror games like Dino Crisis which obviously wouldn't have had quicksaves, just a manual save option at select points. You can save anywhere which is nice, but with how quickly you die in this game and how often enemies ambush you out of nowhere (not to mention how confusing the puzzles can be and how quickly environmental hazards you didn't even realize were hazards can just instakill you) I think the game REALLY needed a quicksave option. Opening the menu and manually overwriting my save every two seconds is really irritating. And like yeah you can argue it's probably a skill issue, I admittedly am really bad at these throwback style FPS games, but I really don't see how quicksaves would HURT the experience.

It's an enjoyable FPS Dino shooter that pulls from Dino crisis in terms of puzzles and colored access cards. Currently the game has 8 levels with a endless mode and recently added expedition mode. I've enjoyed the repeatability with the combo scores that allow you to purchase new abilities and equipment, they've also added crisis mode which increases difficulty and adds challenges to complete. This is old school gaming which means if you die, you restart at the beginning of the level which works for me since i grew up with it but they aren't terribly long either. I've spent 15 hours plus more at this point on a two person development project and that's saying something considering i'm not even willing to demo most AAA games at this point. I'm excited to see how the new episodes will challenge me.
