Dont let the funny tiktok videos full of proximity chat interactions and other clips fool you, getting into this game was, at least for me, a looot of work, if you want something as you see on those videos, get ready to install third party programs, join discord servers, set up programs for proxy chat since, yeah, there is no actual proxy chat in the base game, once you pass all that, get ready to get into the game and get really confused by the ui and menus, and everything else. it is 100% a skill issue on my part, but for someone that just wanted to load the game and have funny interactions with other dinos, yeah.. it was a lot, and i didnt even got to that point.

READ REVIEW This game can be a lot of fun, yes. But there are some things you should know, both good and bad, before purchase. THE BAD; -When you download this game, the version you have is NOT the version you should be playing. You need to go into the games properties, click on Game Versions & Beta, and download Evrima. That is the version everyone plays on, and you will NOT get the true Isle experience if you do not download it. -This game lags and has bugs and frequently crashes. There is no tutorial and there is no map (unless you go online to islemaps- which is a must), and there is no key for any of the symbols. You need to look up everything to understand what it is you are smelling as your dino, and where you are on the island. -As of writing this, there has been a "bug" for the last two months that deletes your dino even on a safe save. Once you log out, your dino is GONE. I say bug in quotations because it's been happening so long that I do not think it is accidental, but intentional. I don't know if this is a way to try and keep the full grown Rex population down, or if it's a temporary measure, but it is very frustrating. My suggestion (at this time), is that until this is fixed, and unless you are fine with losing hours of progress, not to play the Rex. He takes SO LONG to grow- which is understandable- but spending upwards of 5 hours to grow him just to lose him on a log out is incredibly annoying. -Do NOT go into this game thinking you will automatically get to a full grown anything. There are some very kind players, but the game is about survival. You ARE going to get eaten. As a baby, as a juvi, as an adult, it doesn't matter. Some runs are good, some runs are bad, and some runs are ruined by large packs. It happens, don't get too attached to your dino. -People cheat in every game, and The Isle is no exception. I've had a baby bepi almost murder my full grown Cera with one tiny little peck, and I've seen Rex's with speed boosts and infinite stamina. Just... be aware. THE GOOD; -The game, when it isn't lagging to all hell, is beautiful. Turn that ridiculous music they have all the way down and enjoy the quiet moments. -Having friends to play with in this game makes it 100 times more fun. Your survival rate will go up, too. -Private servers, if you can find one you like, are a much better experience. It will be no less brutal, but there will often be keys and rules that balance the game. -Being a Dinosaur is, believe it or not, a lot of fun. The way your dino moves, the calls and sounds they make, the way they hunt, it can all be very immersive and make for a really entertaining time. -Not all, maybe not even most, but SOME of the players will be very kind. I've had big Rex's hunt for me, I've had herbies adopt me when I'm a carnivore, I've had mix packs come to my rescue. I've had deinos (gators) that think I'm cute and protect me even though I'm a tiny little Troodon, and I've even had an Carno who tested the water before I swam across by hurling themselves in first. Kindness CAN get you killed in this game, but sometimes... it's awfully sweet. This game is a lot of fun, no matter how annoying and frustrating it can be at times. Hopefully, and I say this with doubt, they spend some time fixing the bugs and making it better. EDIT 7/3/26; Not a fan of this update, and no idea if the bug that deletes your dino is even fixed. The new skin selector is actually one of the worst changes I've seen to a game in a while, and (I know it's hard to believe) the game still lags and crashes- maybe even more so now since there was a graphics "boost". Gonna give it a few days but might call it and retire this game if the experience doesn't get better. EDIT 7/10/26; Ok it's been a few days and it's not as hot anymore so I was able to play without being automatically annoyed by the heat. The new skin selector makes me sad, I miss my colorful Cera's. I REALLY liked being able to customize my dino, and now we all just pick from the same few shades. Booooo. Swamp is a LOT different and a much less viable option to grow a baby Rex- just a heads up. Otherwise the map looks okay. There are some rendering issues (a lot of the rocks look smooth and untextured). Redwood is a great addition though. Game still has lag, still crashes, still has random bugs. I can't say if the save bug has been fully fixed. I was growing a deinosuchus and he was gone when I went back to him (which isn't great since they take an enormous amount of time to grow), but the last two Cera's I've grown on official maps HAVE saved. I'm going to try and save a Rex and see if I get him back, will update. Unfortunately for me I still love the game so I will continue to play, but I cannot overstate how much I miss my blue crested and gold crested Cera's. Edit 7/13/26; Safe save seems to be fixed. There is a bug on the save for deinosuchus where it sometimes won't load, and then shows as "deleted". HOWEVER, the deino I thought I lost randomly loaded even though he wasn't even listed as saved anymore. I think you just have to back out and go back in a few times to get to that particular dinosaur.

-download and change to evirma version -spawn in as a random Dino -die -repeat -decide to try out beipi -make my way to the delta area -lure in unsuspecting Dino’s to feed to the deino croc gods and gain water access -sit on a rock watching other Dino’s fight. -eat berries then go back to watch the fights and make friends -die to a murderous beipi traitor. -spawn and go back to delta and back to watching my regularly scheduled Dino fights and occasional deino croc god sacrifices just being more observant to possible beipi traitors. 10/10 game
