schleich® DINOSAURS: Mission Dino Camp

I would have never thought I would have given a negative review to a game like this, but here I am. The problem is that this game has kicked me in the balls so much and with such violence that I can't absolutely stay quiet, also considering the not negligible amount of money I have spent on it. So, simply put, this is undoubtedly the most boring, tedious and repetitive game I have ever played in my whole life, and I swear I'm not exaggerating, not even a little bit. Graphically, this game is gorgeous, nothing bad to say about it. But speaking of gameplay, it's one of the worst disasters I have ever played. All you do, I repeat, ALL YOU DO, is driving around the oversized map to gather herbs. ALL THE TIME. You spend like... 1% of your play time interacting with dinosaurs, and 99% driving an off-road across an unbelievably empty map. There's NO VARIATION, all missions are EXACTLY the same, i.e., drive around like a moron and gather herbs. Maybe sometimes see a dinosaur from afar. If you're lucky. Otherwise, just drive and shut up. And that's it. Now, my humble question is, who on Earth would ever think this is the right idea to make a fun game? Who on Earth would ever enjoy such an i…

Definitely bought this strictly because it gave me the opportunity to show off my Schleigh collection. I have a ton of other animals as well but the dinosaurs are by FAR the coolest. As for the game, it is simple, but everything works and they did a great job on the dinosaurs in the game, even if the humans are exceptionally wooden and written hilariously poorly. Traversal is the main gameplay feature, and it is exactly fine. No stamina bar is great, jumping feels okay, and the set pieces are actually pretty cool. This might be a little expensive for what we are getting BUT, as I mention in the video, the game is cheaper than a single dinosaur from the toy shop...so... https://youtu.be/nXwLPQyIdU4

Nice game. The developers did a good job with the optimization. It's a shame you can't continue to explore the map after you've finished the game, and also near the end, the game gets repetitive and kind of boring very quickly (80% of the time driving the jeep/quad). I wish there were more content and activities because the game is pretty nice, and it also has achievements to complete.

Pretty fun game if you are into dinos and chill gameplay. Steam Deck runs it great and I usually play while watching tv lol

It's no Jurassic Park but it's still pretty cool! Graphics could be better and the dialogue/voice acting is sub par, but great detail to the dinosaurs and fun facts of information. I know it's a kids game so you get what you get lol. Wish you could actually feed/pet the dinos though. Maybe a future update you could hatch and care for your own dinos? 6/10

Budget bargain bin game, The controls handle as expected for a budget game, The vehicle control is pretty horrible and the game loop mostly involves driving from one corner of the map to the other (and there are some infuriating areas to reach). You essentially go to a location of a hurt dino and take a photo, take the photo back to your base to show an NPC, Get an errand to collect tranquilizer herbs, go back to your base, get the tranquilizer gun from an NPC, drive back to the hurt dino to tranq it and it's pretty rinse and repeat. The areas to get to the dinos or the herbs get increasingly more annoying to reach and the loop involves you travelling large distance back and forward. You respawn if you fall too far, get eaten by a raptor or upright your vehicle and you respawn close to where you died. But, end game, I had to travel to the worst spot on the map, died just before reaching it and then it respawned me back 1160 meters away from where I was (no idea why) and that pretty much ended my playthrough of this game.
