Sanctuary Island

My honest critique- The game is a poorly done clone of the Isle, has stolen assets and is boring in general. Lacks music on the map, as the only music in the game is only during the Main Menu and that's it. And is empty, as the Developer didn't bother marketing it. This is another Dinosaur Survival Indie game that will go nowhere. Stay away from this game like a plague and play better Indie Dinosaur Games that are out there.

What an adorable dinosaur game! It's almost like your typical dinosaur survival game - pick a dino you want then you survive. However, not only do you have herbivores and carnivores, but omnivores as well (you can play as an Oviraptor - HECK YEAH). Also this game is centered around a more relaxing experience. While you CAN kill other players, you don't have to because the AI is PLENTIFUL. You will never go hungry or thirsty. It's smelling mechanic took a while to get used to (I recommend putting skill points in Magnetic Sense and Nose), but once you get the hang of it it's really easy. The game is still early access so there will be more content and updates in the future. My only qualm about the game is that it has almost no players playing the game. It needs more people, and I think it's from a lack of advertising. It's a game that's flown under the radar. If you want to see some gameplay, check out this video here: https://youtu.be/QIVMLVThsCQ

(Fair Warning, this is very long, you've been warned) Well, I haven't played for hundreds of hours like with some games like BoB (Beasts of Bermuda), I've enjoyed it so far. One of the things this game has that most animal survival games doesn't have (example: DoD (Day of Dragons), Draconia, BoB, Animalia Survival, The Isle, etc) is an update notice on what changed since the recent update that you can view in-game when you're at the Main Menu, so it's a nice addition in my opinion. I'm not sure about the other dinosaur vocals (since I've been playing T-Rex so far) but the T-Rex vocals could use some polishing, for example, the 1 key (broadcast?) sounds weak, if it was younger it would be fine but when it's older, it sounds off-putting and weird, 2 key, I can't even tell if it's a friendly or threaten, 3 key is fine if its supposed to be threaten, and 4 key is okay. Should also work on adding alternate attacks since the left and right click looks like its the same attack for the Rex. I would like it if the character tab would display what stage of growth you're at instead of a percentage. The talent tree is nice somewhat but I would like it if the hints would display some informatio…

There is so much more to this game than meets the eye. The scenery is beautiful, there are little secret things to find, cool caves and AIs that are fun to interact with. The graphics were very nice and I experienced no bugs or problems with performance. I really enjoyed playing this game and can't wait to see what comes next!

Sanctuary Island is another cute and beautiful Dino-Survival Game in my List. Sure i have other Dino-Survival Games and sure they might be better because of more Programmer (not my words). BUT Sanctuary Island holds the most of Anatomic correctness about the Dinosaurs then other Games. You will say "OOOH sure Rainbow colored Dinosaurs how stupid are you?" My answer "Do YOU know what colors the Dinosaurs got their Time? NO? So why dont have a Rainbow colored Dino? Theres nothing against it !" Sure the Sounds and Animations arent like tripple A Titles. But this little Game got what many tripple A titels are missing .... and thats the Heart and Love of an Developer & the Team. The Ai spawn is awesome you can waddle around and even when youre alone in an Area (no player Dinos) the Area is still alive trought the Ai. Your own Species (only Carni) whilest Herbies build Herds will build a Group with you and waddle around with you , chilling , eating and drinking with you and i must say its hard every time to logg out when u have an lovely Ai Family. Sure it is still an EA Title but im looking forward to the Future of this cute little Dino-Survival Game. Also i think its worth buying i…

Not ready yet. It's really sad that this game costs money in that stage. Yes it's early access, but it should be eather free or not accessable at all till having it a bit polished. Really hope the game dev will keep working on it tho.
