Fossil Hunters

Full Video Review: https://youtu.be/JZy97WiXZQQ Fossil Hunters is one of those games that is a lot more enjoyable to play than it sounds on paper. Instead of locking you into some sort of set pattern, the game takes a whimsical attitude toward the fossils. You can put the bones together in whatever way you want! As you proceed lower into the mine the bones available change. Each floor has a fossil blueprint you need to complete in order to unlock the next floor. It’s great the game lets you explore and have your own fun without trying to force a strict set of rules on you. The cave in mechanic is the most important since you need to be careful excavating or else you could lose your precious fossil. But it also spawns more fossils so you need it to keep happening. Which can get a little repetitive. I would love to try a version of the game where the cave ins are more random and the support beams are required on every floor. Overall Fossil Hunters has been a lot of fun and made even better with a friend. Building weird dinosaurs is just silly and the mechanics work well. It’s fairly casual but something about it makes me want to keep playing and explore what other bones are available. I would suggest picking this up if you want to enjoy a silly game that is different.

The Kickstarter baby from Reptoid Games. The best way to describe this? Overcooked but instead of cooking, you dig up dinos corpses. Now, you tell me: what´s cooler? Solo might lose the charm that involves playing it with your bro, though. That is NOT a negative. Whoever is reviewing the game based on it´s solo experience (which is still a solid game, mind you) should stop reviewing games all together. **=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+** If you enjoy my short and sweet reviews, please follow our curator page [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/29273632-El-Rincón-de-Cooper]here![/url] We are the Indies of Curators!

I’ve both seen and played games where you murder dinosaurs, use them to kill other people, ride them, befriend them, and even be them. However I have never seen a game that lets you make dinosaurs of your own. Sadly you can’t make your own living dinosaurs in Fossil Hunters, however you can make your own dead ones. The main mechanic of fossil hunters is putting together various dinosaur fossils in a set way to create a full dinosaur skeleton, however you also are given various side dinosaurs to build, guided only by a vague hint or two. For instance you may be told t o create a dinosaur with two heads, or one with an extra foot placed squarely on his nose, or maybe even a dino with three nuts and night vision goggles. What dinosaur you’re to build on the side is determined by a quirky little voice coming out of a radio, a radio that quickly informs you that the man on the other side wants dinosaur skeletons and has the money to pay. Ultimately though, whether or not you actually try and build these side dinosaurs doesn’t matter, because from what I can tell the benefits are purely arbitrary, like your score in Space Invaders. Not that this is a bad thing, if you’re into raising your score and other things like that then you’ll love it, it’s an extremely interesting and fun side objective that’ll suit you perfectly. I simply don’t like that kind of thing and instead would rather focus on the main game and the mechanics therewithin. Fossil Hunters is an extremely simple game, and the only thing you need to know how to do is dust off discovered fossils, dig for new ones, and arrange those you’ve already found. It’s one of a growing genre of games which rely on simple and strong core mechanics rather than an abundance of content, because the fun which you have with those mechanics creates an infinite amount of said content. [h1]Too Many Cooks In The Cave[/h1] http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1317480293&fileuploadsuccess=1 However, those games still need to have enough varied and different content to allow those mechanics to actually be fully realized and to truly shine. Fossil Hunters seems to have some of that, just not nearly enough. The objectives seem to be all the the same, put together a certain kind of dinosaur with the parts you find throughout the level and then head back to the elevator and leave. This isn’t a significant issues but it shows a disturbing trend in the gaming industry, especially when it comes to indie games. All too often games are barely providing enough content, and instead inserting a multiplayer or co-op component as a replacement. The game then just becomes a method by which you and your friends have fun, and instead of enjoying the game, you end up enjoying your friends’ company. I’m not trying to make it sound as if there’s no way you can have fun in the company of your friends and also enjoy a game, but there’s a serious problem when your game is barebones and relies on people to have good times with their friends instead of you doing your job and providing good experiences for them. If you couldn’t tell, Fossil Hunters does have a multiplayer component, though I honestly don’t see any real benefit to it. Although I haven’t played it, it seems like a classic case of too many cooks in the kitchen. The levels are already filled with dozens of chunks of fossil-containing rock, so it isn’t like you’ve got that much space to begin with. Adding up to four players on top of that might sound like a fair bit of fun, but I can’t imagine anything would actually get done, besides making everyone ragequit 20 minutes in. Tagging onto what I said about group play, you can pick one of four characters when you start the game, each having their own distinct look and feel, but seemingly being entirely devoid of any kind of impactful difference. I get that they can’t be giving characters abilities that could hurt the singleplayer experience, but I genuinely feel as though they could have at least given them something to make each character feel different from the next. With its flaws kept in mind, I definitely do enjoy playing Fossil Hunters. Its multiplayer component is unignorable and quite honestly unnecessary, but the premise behind the game, and the dinosaur building itself, is actually a lot of fun. I can appreciate that yes, it’s a very obviously indie game and has its fair share of flaws, but does what it’s trying to do well and with a degree of professionalism almost resembling a Nintendo title in some places. [h1]TL;DR[/h1] While I don't particularly like seeing many indie games go in the same direction trying to force multiplayer where it doesn't fit, I can't argue that Fossil Hunters is a fun little time-waster that makes me feel like a kid again.

Fossil Hunters is a fun game, assembling fossils and descending the depths to find new discoveries makes you feel like a real paleontologist. I got 15 hours of enjoyment out of it, so I would say money well spent. [h1][b]Gameplay[/b][/h1] Fairly simple, dig up fossils, move them over to other fossils to make a while dinosaur. You set up supports to prevent an area from collapsing, bridges to traverse gaps, lights to brighten up dark levels, and set off dynamite barrels to blow up large areas of rock and dirt. Levels stay how you leave them, so you can make as many trips back and forth as you want without fear of losing your progress. [h1][b]Enemies[/b][/h1] [b][u]Crawlers[/u][/b] can be annoying, search for the lamp shop early on in the dig site layers, lamps will stop crawlers from moving into wherever you place your light. They're only found in the dig site layers, so don't buy too many lamps, as they're only used one more time after that. [b][u]Magma Lizards[/u][/b] can be maddening if not watched out for, they break everything they walk through except for supports, so keep your fossils out of their path and put up plenty of supports to guide your way. around the constantly changing level that the lizards are actively renovating with each step. [h1][b]Tips[/b][/h1] Level 19 for me was an RNG nightmare, Magma Lizards constantly move through the schematic area where you need to keep your fossils to progress past the level, destroying them instantly. I highly suggest getting everything you need together near the lift and using the movement and dragging buffs to quickly move them all into place, I got through it with this method and some extreme luck.

A cool game where you dig up fossils, clean them up and then reconnect them so you have full dino skeletons, you can have multiple players and the characters are pretty cool designs, a fun game! https://youtu.be/7g9BM3WH7Vk

Quite fun in co-op. The gameplay is simple enough, you explore caves, you destroy some rock, you find some fossils and you put the skeletons back together. The aesthetic really adds to the whole atmosphere. And being able to grab and drag most object is a lot of fun to fiddle around with. A downside is that you kinda need a controller to play the game. Definitely worth a try.

Just doesn't seem like much is going on.

For all people who as kids wanted to be archaeologist and paleontologist - this game is great. ~~[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44342408-Sanctuary-for-Strange-People/]Check my curator's page![/url]~~

очень простая и увлекательная игра, для хомяков самое то

A cute, fun, family-friendly game that I honestly enjoyed more than I thought I would. You dig up fossils and piece them together to create your own dinosaur skeletons, all the while uncovering more pieces of the story in the form of journal entries. Overall a great casual puzzle game. Pros: - Cute and enjoyable art and music - Controls on the controller are very smooth and easy to use - Really is good for all ages and kid-friendly Cons: - Can feel repetitive after a while - Can't change the camera angle at all
