From the smallest hatchling to the apex predator, every life is a unique journey of survival and evolution. Primeval delivers a dual-mode sandbox designed for every type of survival player. Whether you want to conquer a persistent online ecosystem alongside other players, or test your skills in a distraction-free solo world, your journey is entirely your own.
A World Without Limits
Roam across land, sea, and sky. Whether you are soaring as a Pteranodon, prowling the brush as a Tyrannosaurus, or haunting the deep as a Megalodon, the entire prehistoric world is your playground.
UNIFIED CROSS-MODE PROGRESSION
Your time is valuable, and your legacy is persistent. In Primeval, your growth, unlocked talents, and creature stats seamlessly transfer between single-player and multiplayer modes. Grow your hatchling safely in a solo world, then bring your fully evolved adult onto 150-player servers to dominate online—or retreat back to single-player to recover after a brutal battle.
TWO DISTINCT WAYS TO SURVIVE
Massive 150-Player Servers: Immerse yourself in a living, player-driven world. Form defensive herds of titanic herbivores, organize deadly hunting packs to execute coordinated ambushes, and claim highly contested territories online.

Reviews
Some of the most beautifully drawn and animated prehistoric creatures, diverse plants and many maps to choose from. Even though the graphics are a bit old style and the game is really buggy, I play a lot of dinosaur games and right now this one is my favorite, it is really immersive and feels like going into the past to meet these creatures. I recommend this game to anyone who truly loves paleontology and can enjoy the beauty of this game in spite of the low graphics and buggy glitches. Just respawn into the game or restart the game if it gets weird. This game captures the allure and that feeling of dinosaurs that first captivated me as a child.
AMAZING MODELS AND GRAPHICS

Zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt kann ich es nicht empfehlen. Warum? Wie soll man ein Spiel empfehlen wenn man nicht mehr sieht außer das Startmenü. Man kommt nur mit Enter aus dem EA Hinweis und dann erscheint ein Chat. Geil, wenn man auf Singleplayer geht hängt sich das Spiel auf. EDIT 30.Juni.2023: Ich gab dem Spiel wieder eine Chance nach der Zeit und updates. Nunja, klickst du auf Singleplayer (oder irgendeine andere option) friert das Spiel wieder ein und man kann es nur noch mit ALT F4 beenden. Immer noch KEINE EMPFEHLUNG. Kauft euch The Isle, nach dem update 6.5 macht es immer mehr lust.
未来可期,但现阶段优化堪忧,指引也不怎么全面,建议改善
I've played this for 5.5 hours so far. I've played as 3 species; stegosaurus, allosaurus, and triceratops. I am amused. I am playing this in a casual mood. You got to be patient and figure out how to grow your dinosaur. You have to do some reading in the guide. I saw an older youtube video of the game, and it has improved quite a bit since then. I really like the way the environment and creatures look and sound. The music fits. I like the weather effects. The night time is pitch black, but you have a night vision toggle. I had to turn all the settings down to "normal" for my computer to run it well. I think casual dinosaur enthusiasts will enjoy themselves. It's got a blend of realistic and old school "movie monster" aesthetics. For example, the velociraptor is bald, and has typing position hands, but there is a feathered deinonychus. I like both inaccurate and accurate dinosaurs, so this is fine with me. There are a fine amount of Jurassic and Cretaceous dinosaurs, as well as some from other eras like the Permian. I find this game to be some decent dinosaurian escapism.
I PLAY FOR ABOUT 5-10 MINUTES AND THE GAME CLOSES
Man i really want to like this game, but as it stands now I kept crashing. for me it was unplayable. Hopefully it will get better.
I first got this game when it was still 99 cents and had a different name (Apologies that I cannot remember it off the top of my head). I just want to say that the amount of work that has gone into this game shows, it has greatly changed and has massive potential. Most of the people who have posted negative reviews are impatient, this an early access game that grown a lot in a short span, showing that not only it has potential, but it also has the dedicated developers to make it happen. If your into games like this, then I recommend getting it.
Graphics are so good that they make me lag even on the lowest settings. Couldn't figure out how to play or do anything, probably because I didn't read the tutorials. It was a pretty game but uh...kind of lacks any real sense of purpose. I swam around as the God Born from the Helix Fossil for a while and then alt+f4'd and uninstalled, wasting a lot of bandwidth.
