Amazing game, but this game is NOT family friendly despite what the 10/10 idea of a cute unkillable dino buddy would suggest. This game is dark. Within 30 seconds the cute dino becomes an orphan . An hour in, cannibals burn your village ` 2 hours in, you watch your wife slaughtered . 15 minutes later, they get your daughter too. Then you're just.. there alone except your dino buddy in the wilderness emotionally drained, and adrift Brilliant game, but now I’ve got an inconsolable 6-year-old, onions in my eyes and this is not quite the family against the odds story the trailer sold. Don't make my mistake!
It's fun and simple BUT it's no Ori or Hollow Knight but it scratches the metroidvania itch for a little while. So after playing it for a little bit more I have beat the game in about 10 1/2 hours or so. Honestly the game was just too easy and being a Metroidvania there's just not enough going on your abilities are very much limited and you don't really have much to upgrade. So even though the initial part of the game is challenging for a little bit but once you kind of Max out your weapons and your gear and your village you just have way more resources than you ever need and so unlike Terraria where all that extra stuff can be useful for this game you really do cap out super quick and the end game is very lacking it's not very hard the enemy types have a lot of HP and do a lot of damage but other than that they don't have a lot of routines or a lot of intelligence and honestly there's not enough enemies where you're ever really challenged.
One of the most underrated games I've ever played. Metroidvania fans should be shouting about this one from the mountaintops. Everything is crafted with care here. The map, the mechanics, the progression and exploration. Everything feels super tight and polished. What's unique is that the world feels alive. Everything isn't sitting around waiting to react to you. Predators be predating and prey be preying. It's wonderful. Your progression is tied to leveling and it plays out perfect. Yes you can spend 8 skill points on a double jump right off the hop (pun intended) or you can put those points into something else and rely on your spears to reach higher areas. You have that choice. Movement is great. Roll into long jump is fun getting around the map and I haven't even unlocked any dashes yet. Speaking of unlocks, there's a whole settlement building system for further upgrades and farms. I will revisit this review once I've put more time in. But it's obvious the (solo) dev knows what he's doing. It's got a lot of unique ideas that work with the genre mixed with conventional gameplay. Just wanted to get the review up ASAP because this game deserves more attention.
Primal Planet is a Metroidvania in a fictionalized "prehistorik" setting... also: aliens are here^^ The Good: - pretty unique setting - very charming pixel-art with great animation - exploring, gathering and crafting is simple but satisfying The Bad: - combat is too hectic and chaotic to strategise, just level up and brute force - navigation could be a lot better, as you can't see the location names on the world map and there's no proper fast-travel The Summary: If you can appreciate a 2D indie game with pixel-art, crafting, cavemen, dinosaurs and aliens, you'll have a pretty good time with this one 7 out of 10
Great game, I really enjoy how the little dinosaur companion (Sino) is playable and young-player friendly. As I have been playing with my young son. Since, he isn't really punished for learning, it allows us to enjoy the game. We have had a great time together. Thank you! I look forward to other games such as this with local coop.
