What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Mesozoic Dawn shows promise as a dinosaur survival game with interesting combat mechanics, but it is currently hindered by critical issues that frustrate players. The most glaring problem is extremely low server populations combined with insufficient AI dinosaurs to hunt, leaving players starving and unable to progress or find meaningful gameplay; additionally, players cite poor UI for teaming and dinosaur selection, weak cover mechanics, and lacking differentiation between dinosaur abilities.

this looked like a fun game to play , so i installed it, then i found my self in the lobby looking to join some servers, ALL of them, (yes ALL of them) had a ping of 260-390....which is unfortunate as i really wanted to get into this game....but i did create my own server and ran around for awhile as a dino :) that was fun...maybe im too new but i couldnt find a quit or exit button to leave either....i reccommend it because its free and has potential , but i do wish there were servers with lower ping, which imho is keeping many players away.

There are many ROBLOX games that deliver a similar experience.

This game is poorly made, it does not deserve so many good reviews. Interface is not intuitive. Game mechanics are really bad.
