Fun but wears out it's welcome. Digging is a meditative experience, driving is a buggy off-roading bonaza, and building the skeletons and making exibits is a creative fun pass time. But a lot of it takes so long. Building the skeletons are fun for the first few skeletons but after a while all the tiny pieces becoming annoying to place. I do love alot of what this game has, but I think it needs just a few more updates to streamline certain aspects of the game. Like finding the missing excavation places or an auto placement upgrade. Check it out if it's on sale!

This game has made my inner child so happy. If you ever thought of becoming a paleontologist this game is for you. I didnt think I would like it as much as I would. It is very relaxing . The few issues I have is when cleaning bones trying to turn the bigger fossils is annoying. Also you do have to figure most things out on your own. Over all I love this cozy game.

Definitely a cozy game that scratches a particular itch. Controller layout is a little odd compared to most games but it is easy to adapt to.

This is the game I would have dreamed about as a kid. 10/10! there is so much content and every piece is so interactive and the customization, this game gives you so much for such a good price given the $60 - $70 you would have to spend for a similar sized game

Very peaceful game to play when you just want to relax. So far, i have only played it for 11hrs, but its fun and zoning out while excavating the rock and dirt. However it is a bit annoying having to grab empty crates form the hub every time you need them.
