I've never reviewed a game on Steam before but I loved this game! The art is charming and rich and the movement and exploration are both very satisfying. It also revealed to me a contradiction with platform fighting that I never realised was there: that just by touching enemies they deal you damage, whereas to cause damage to an enemy you must attack them. This game resolves that by making it so enemies still have to complete an attack to deal you damage, not simply touch you. Along with enemies attacking each other and there being friendly enemies that only defend themselves once attacked, I really enjoyed the "fairness" of the combat. Unlike many others I also didn't mind the vagueness of the map system. It made finding stuff feel like more of a reward, and it was still useful for finding secrets. If I had one criticism it's that the game kind of loses steam towards the end. It would have been nice to have a bigger boss fight and some enemies that presented new challenges that couldn't be defeated so easily with the skills I'd already accumulated. And now that you introduced dolphin rides, please make it so I can ride pterodactyl too!

After 25 hours of this game, and reaching an ending, not 100% yet, I can say that I sincerely enjoy this game. It's a metroidvania/action rpg where you basically kill creatures to level up your skills, unlock abilities, and explore the map to find your family. The premise is simple but the little details and the sense of exploration really kept me going, it's really cool finding new areas between the twist and turns of the primordial jungle, with a lot of the map being blocked organically by obstacles that usually require a bit of thinking or exploration to overcome. If i had to say something negative it's that unlocking a certain thing is a bit tedious, but it only took me an hour to collect what was needed, and the swimming areas of the game really do drag once you've been through them a couple times, very immersive in theory, but in practice a bit of a slog. Overall this was a nice little metroidvania that i'd recommend to fans looking for something similar in gameplay, but unique in style and premise.

I'd like to begin by saying i really enjoyed this game, it took me 9 hours to reach the ending and collect 47 of the 50 achievements, so completing the full game shouldn't feel like a chore I hope I won't double my playtime getting the last 3 my final thoughts: [*]Cool story, cool art, cool game [*]Maybe a bit too much water [*]Wish the map had more info [*]Man I love dinosaurs
