Seems like the game is getting pretty positive reviews overall from players and critics (other than RPS). Perhaps it is worth a closer look?

Not for $60 from me:)  I'll wait a few days to see how people's reviews go, need to be sure those people aren't just being overly optimistic to make them feel better about pre-ordering:)

Generally the (few) Steam negative reviews echo the positive ones: love the game, but it feels and plays like a shallow mobile game. Gameplay is far inferior to Operation Genesis (even without that game's fan patch/update from a few years ago).

I was about to say that we need a Turok survival game, but we kind of have one already with ARK.  O0

Thought I might be the only one who remembered Turok from the 1960's comics.
My son bought this game and really likes it. Says you design and breed your dinos as part of the game, kinda like The Sims3.

There were several Turok video games made in the 90's and 2000's. You can get some on GOG.

Ah, yes Turok son of stone, his faithful sidekick Andar, and of course the ubiquitous "honkers".

Those are based on the gritty rebootquel.

Meant to mention this when we published it, but I forgot to add it...

I did a sidecast (a supplementary show to the main "Clod of War" podcast) with my Son, talking about Jurassic Park Evolution. I played a fair bit of it on the PS4, but my nipper rinsed it on the PC.. so I throw a load of questions at him, to see if anything that comes back is interesting or useful to potential players.

If you fancy it, have a listen. You can listen to it through Anchor.fm, or it should be hosted on a lot more podcasting platforms, choose from the icons at the top to listen...

It's nearly 40 minutes of banter though.. almost as long as an episode of the main show.. :)

Anyone playing this? It has been patched a few times. How is it now?

Reviews are still lukewarm. I don't think the problems had to do with things that could really be addressed in a patch. Had more to do with fundamental game design decisions.

Anyway, this will be a $20 or less buy for me.

Not enough content.  It also seems that whatever you do the animals will brake out (our your own crew will sabotage the gates).
Removed it from my wishlist some time ago.

+1...although my threshold may be in $10-$15 range, but I don't suspect it will get there soon....

This is all disappointing. I mean...DINOSAURS!! Who does not want a game with cool dinosaurs? My son still likes it and recommends it to me. He likes it but he thinks I might find it a little "light". Apparently so, from the above comments. Too bad I was reeeaally bored last night and bought it. At least I got 35% off. I will probably let it sit until some significant changes or DLC improve the game.

Looks like $21.99 in current sale....still not low enough for me to jump in, but getting closer....
