What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
The Archotek Project suffers from significant technical issues, including a non-functional demo that fails to load properly, combined with developer abandonment that left the game in a dead state with no active player base. Players acknowledge it had potential as a dinosaur simulation game but ultimately view it as an abandoned project, with some suggesting alternatives like Mesozoic Dawn or Saurian instead.
Well......I cant play the demo so I have no review. It just sits on 'loading' of the dino character you pick but nothing ever comes up. So until I can actually try it I can not recommend2 found this helpful
Developer abandoned the game after less than a few years and never returned. Basically just a scam to get money while they went to other projects.1 found this helpful
Dead but cute, try this one below :) Mesozoic dawn: It seems like a promising project. This can be a multiplayer Saurian where it truly simulates dinos instead of the arcade HUD/UI of POT and a competitor to The isle when it comes to amount of players on servers. and really a true dinosim like Saurian or Primeval. I´m looking forward to particpate in the developement of this lovely game/sim https://steamcommunity.com/app/4334840/discussions/0/589560695544270563/1 found this helpful
