April 2025
I do and don't recommend this game. It is a good game overall, the mechanics are good, graphics are good, animal roster is limited, for some reason, I kept starting out as an adult even though i wanted to be a fresh juvenile animal like in The Isle/Path Of Titans/Beasts of Bermuda/etc.. Flying as birds is clunky and does feel awkward at times. Some things aren't fully explained, I also hoped that this game would be like said games above but it is only single player but also nice that it is a single player. After reading the reviews and doing a bit of reading, it seems the devs have left this game to rot but it has SO much potential, I wish they'd keep going but unfortunately they won't. Should you buy it? it's a good game to play for a few hours but no. Are the graphics good? I didn't have an issue with them and they were very beautiful. Is it worth putting a lot of time into? Most likely not if it only does adult animals (but again, i kept spawning in as adult) and became boring. Enough to put me to sleep and I have ADHD lmao Overall, it's an "up to you to buy and try" game but do not expect more than over the top gameplay. It's very "eh" at best but good time waster if you're into that kind of stuff lol

I love the concept. I very much hope the developers continue to work on this one. This could be the most beautiful animal survival game I have ever seen.

It's a fun game, however, it does play like a demo! I'm hoping quite a few updates come through, because this has a lot of potential. For what it is, and compared to some other games, the price is good!

The graphics are very high quality, but here are some things you should add to the game in the future. 1. Accuracy. For animals like wolves, cougars, etc., do some research. Research about animal gestation times for a future pregnancy update, start with the animal of the player's choice as, IRL, sexually mature (e.g, wolves reach maturity at two) You should also add buffs related to the animal you're playing as. like a pack buff for social animals, a hibernation debuff for bears, etc. 2. Actually make the season you choose at the start that season. Like when I choose fall, it sends me to summer. Are you, in fact, aware of this? If so, are you able to fix it? 3. Make the fauna in the current biome more accurate, like since that map looks like it could be in the Northern Hemisphere, South American cougars definitely do not belong there, as an example. 4. Add a flee system. If you harass or injure an enemy long enough, they'll run away. And, deer are a lot more dangerous than they look. When protecting their calves or fawns from predators, doe or cow elk can break bones with their hooves. 5. Yes, I am an absolute smart@ss Overall, a 3.5/5. Room for improvement.

THE best multi animal game AND the most cheapest its absolutely perfect although some more features would make it the GOAT of all animal games like how about cut scenes? or story mode!! glorious graphics and awesome attack features i can kill anything!! I love pretending I'm in a natural geographic but radio collars an accessories that animals could have in irl!! I play this game every day im home!! although something i really want is more members in the family! the average members in a wolf pack is 8-9 please add that and more than 10 members in a deer family but everything in this beautiful game is perfect beside the limited numbers of family members!! And a 1 man team!?!?! You're doing great.
