Dinosaur Fossil Hunter

I wanted to like this game so badly, as a kid that grew up obsessed with dinosaurs and the concept of becoming a paleontologist, but sadly the controls, lack of direction and bugged achievements quickly ruined it for me. I appreciate the immense attention to detail (that you would expect from a paleo sim game) but unfortunately it becomes too complex too quickly. The game barely tells you what to do and when to do it and I became stuck multiple times within just a handful of hours that it just grew frustrating and it started feeling more like a chore than a game. I earned multiple achievements that never actually triggered, which instantly put me off. These are issues which could easily be fixed which would immensely improve the quality of the game but sadly doesn't look like they ever will be.

This game gets the rating of "recommended" from me, but only with a rather large asterisk. It has its fair share of glitches, baffling design choices, unintuitive menus and annoying achievements, which can be more than enough to scare away some players. But underneath them I did also found the game to be a lot of fun in a relaxing, slow-paced way. I could spend hours doing the fieldwork, just shoveling away tons of dirt to uncover new fossils from the ground! I guess it scratches the same itch as Powerwash Simulator does for some people. So if you are looking for games like that, I would give this one a try - but only if you can stomach games that aren't perfect from technical point of view.

Por fin pude cumplir mi sueño de ser paleontóloga sin morir de hambre

Eu joguei Dinosaur Fossil Hunter pela primeira vez em 2022. O jogo em si é bom, na primeira vez que você joga é uma experiência ótima. Anos depois eu abro ele com o intuito de completar as conquistas que faltavam e me deparo que eu não tenho mais o meu save antigo, fiquei extremamente decepcionada. Mas ainda sim eu recomecei tudo de novo e não sei o que fizeram mas o jogo ta muito bugado, uma queda de fps horrivel. Eu terminei o jogo pela segunda vez e NÃO vou conseguir completar todas as conquistas porque simplesmente acharam de bom tom criarem conquistas que você dependa de outras pessoas pra conseguir.

The game is a good concept and the actual game its self is fun for the correct audience however the development team have pretty much abandoned it and have not added any significant new content for over a year no new maps or bones to collect.

Классный, расслабляющий симулятор, можно очень надолго залипнуть собирая все окаменелости и обставляя свой музей. Для больших скелетов хотелось бы наверное каких нибудь более мощных инструментов очистки, но возможно в реальности это происходит именно так.

The game starts with a "tutorial", where you draw a dino with numbered dots and build "models", which are just wooden blocks. This is all the game thinks you need to know on how to play the game. Then the game tells you to DRIVE to the site, except the game then tells you to stop and USE A DAMN CHAINSAW TO GET A TREE OFF THE ROAD! This is the main issue with the game it adds too much non fossil related busywork with the game doesn't really explain how to do. Why does this game have driving sections? Why do I have a chainsaw? Imagine repair sim where you must drive to the post office each time you need to order new parts I spent more time in the car than fossil hunting and that ruined the fun.

как приплести политику и игру про выкапывание динозавров? спросите этого разработчика.

Very peaceful game to play when you just want to relax. So far, i have only played it for 11hrs, but its fun and zoning out while excavating the rock and dirt. However it is a bit annoying having to grab empty crates form the hub every time you need them.

I wanted to like this game but it was so tedious that it became boring. There are a lot of aspects that were really great and fun, but it was just too tedious.
