Beasts of Bermuda

Despite this game having been my lifeblood and was actively shaping up to be one of the most played games on my profile and beat the 2.5k hours on another game I have... This game is no longer a survival game. It's lost its identity in its own gameplay loop. The majority of its population plays on no PVP chill servers and just chats with everyone and grows on fed food and fresh water at their feet 24/7, and the rest plays on an Autorevive server. There is no effort to fix Gauntlet/Titania to be appealing to players (its intended core gameplay after transitioning away from previous growth loops). No more servers other than the Offical server have Gauntlet gamemodes and Titania support for server owners and saves took almost a year or more for a semi-reliable transfer option. The devs fix to the main criticism of starvation rates was to pause growth at 50%. But if you were on pause, you were virtually a walking steak for anything else that wanted to hunt you, which they could *smell* you and see you are on pause. This also made it so if you were a dino that was having issues nearing starving to begin with, you now simply could not keep yourself out of pause growth for long enough to keep yourself alive in a fight long before starvation might had otherwise been a factor. If this kicked in at closer to 20% this would have been more reasonable, but food must now always be topped up with little leeway on this game mode now. The toxicity is likely permanent to this game, and enough people have covered that in droves, so I'll leave that out of this review. I'm not interested in playing a game where its a chatroom, or there is such a massive timegated bias towards the schooling and unemployed with this half-acknowledged identity the game currently has permitted. I'll keep up with the skin unlocks in case I can come back, but otherwise the engagement and time investment of other survival games is far more respectful to me elsewhere.

Great concept, unfortunately the reality is that you will lose your progress from a cheater. in the 40 hours i put in this game - there wasnt a single session without a cheater. ESP, unlimited stam, and even a cheater that just killed the entire lobby. The only silver lining was that if you do die from a cheater, the mods will restore your progress - IF - you have proof.

This game needs bots so this doesn't feel like a sleeping/walking simulator.

Game optimization is low and official serves are of poor quality. Crashes and lag issue are common and frequently commented on by the community. Game play is decent, but is very teammate centric. More people on you team usually means you have a significant advantage. Mechanics are interesting but not well integrated in global game play as many players easily find exploits within the frame work of the game that break emersion and "cheat". Historically the game has had significant issues with "hacker" altering game files to gain advantages and grief official servers. There has been some progress made in detecting when these issues arise, but with source code leaks it seem that these issues are here to stay. Staff that moderate the game do not applied the "rules" for their servers fairly or evenly. There a constant shifting definitions of what the rules are and how they will be applied. Mostly it appears that staff has been instructed to create a little work as possible while keeping the threat of applying the rules to ban players around.

Way better than The Isle, the devs respect your time, there aren't bugs that delete your dinosaur for no reason, the environment changes, weather effects, floods, ponds can dry up, wild fires can spread, even tornados that effect the environment.. insanely good game, best weather system of any dinosaur survival game, and as a game in general.

Tons of bugs and hackers

everyone who plays this game should be put on a watch list cause they def pedos if they have more then 400 hours

no nonoon ono onon no this gamme is bad

False banning good players to support trash players and appease the alphabet community. Sad

This is my review with 10,774 Hours of Playtime on Beasts Of Bermuda. This is in my opinion the best Dinosaur survival game we got on Steam, and its only other competitor is The Isle. I had bought the game all the way back in summer 2019, and didn't play it till late 2020 during the pandemic and I got to say it was one of the best experiences I had on a game so far. I had made a lot of friends on this game and I will never forget the new things I'd learned from them, some had come and go, and some are returning ones as well. The different playstyles on this game is endless, wanna play PvP focused servers? Bam got it here. Wanna play Death Match servers? Bam got those too. Or are you a chill person that wants to play chill servers? We got those as well, again the playstyles on here is endless, and the fact this is the only game that has unlimited growth until your death is another reason this game is still popular to this day. If you got friends that has started liking Dinosaurs and is looking for a dinosaur survival game, I would highly recommend them to pick this game up. And I can't wait for future developments to come soon!
