The Isle: A World Designed to Kill You


The Isle is intended to be a gritty, open-world survival horror game. Explore vast landscapes of dense forest and open plains, traverse treacherous mountains and wade through dark swamps where horrors lurk. Hidden within are ruins that hold insight as to what came before. Through it all, keep in mind there is only one goal: survive.
There is little in the way of hand holding or ulterior precepts to alter play styles or purpose. It's kill or be killed. In the end, the only one you can trust is yourself. Over the course of development the islands and their inhabitants will radically change, ever-evolving as players themselves learn how to flourish and thrive. Your mistakes will be punished. Expect no survivors.
Massive Prehistoric Multiplayer


Become the beast within. When joining The Isle, you can play as one of dozens of unique creatures, from tiny darting herbivores like Dryosaurus to blood-thirsty giants such as T. Rex or Allosaurus (with many more still to come!) As a dinosaur, you'll be the epitome of majestic, cunning and ferocious. Use your natural abilities and senses to stay off the menu and grow into a stronger, more capable creature.
Engage with a living prehistoric ecosystem as you become either predator or prey on servers featuring up to 100+ players, all of them as hungry and dangerous as you. Form packs/herds, create nests, defend your offspring, hunt, and claim territory. A single mistake can spell your demise.
Survival or Sandbox?


The Isle's core game mode is Survival, a tense and difficult experience where you need to grow fast or die young. Dinosaurs in Survival mode progress through several life stages, starting out small and vulnerable. Use your scent ability, night vision and wits to survive long enough to grow, becoming more powerful and unlock new abilities such as nesting. Because of the time needed to develop a full character life cycle, not every creature is or will be playable in Survival, though more will be added in future updates.

However, sometimes you don't want to struggle to survive, or you don't have the time to go through a dinosaur's whole life story. And that's okay. For players who want a less intense experience, Sandbox mode lets you play an expanded roster of dinosaurs (and soon humans!). You can jump right in as an adult super predator or a peaceful giant, with no major penalties or consequences from dying. We won't judge.
A Global Community Story


The Isle features a narrative told strictly through the environment, achievable only through immense cooperation among players. Are you stranded? Can you just leave? What is AE? How did the dinosaurs get here? What is the distant call that pierces the night?
It will take the entire community to answer these mysteries and unravel the purpose to their being on The Isle, and each discovery will directly affect the future of the game's storyline.
Future Development Goals


We realize that there is a long road ahead, and a lot of work to be done to turn this into the game we want it to be. Throughout development, we will be adding a lot more to The Isle and incorporating user feedback in how we evolve the experience. Some of our planned features include:
- Playable aquatic and aerial creatures
- Even more playable dinosaurs with complete life cycles
- Two new playable factions: modern humans & the indigenous
- Evolve into advanced "strain" versions of certain dinosaurs
- Realistic dinosaur AI that uses complex behaviours
- Additional world biome types such as thick jungles
- Dynamic aerial drop-in spawn system
- Global in-game world quest
- Localization of all in-game menus & text
- Better accessibility & customization options
- Steam Achievements, Trading Cards, Emotes
- Mod support using Steam Workshop
All that and more are on our radar going forward. We started with a plan of just a mere handful of playable carnivores, but based on player demand we expanded our scope, increased that number greatly and introduced herbivorous dinosaurs as well. Listening to our community has been instrumental in guiding our process and helped to correct our mistakes, and we hope that together we can transform The Isle into the ultimate dinosaur game.

Unfortunately at this point, the game is full of hackers and I tell myself this all the time. If only they put in the effort like they do in monitoring their discord, they'd have no issues at all.
Step 1: Log onto official server
Step 2: Spend Hours growing dinosaur and surviving (fun)
Step 3: Entire official server gets launched into the air by a hacker and everyone instantly dies (not fun)
Do not recommend unless you like role playing as the meteor from the extinction event
The Isle is a truly unique experience—both meditative and thrilling at the same time. There’s something oddly satisfying about just being a dinosaur, roaming the world, surviving, and interacting with others. The mechanics of different dinosaur species add a lot of depth, making each playthrough feel distinct. One of the most impressive aspects of the game is how the world shifts in perspective depending on the size of the dinosaur you play. A dense forest might feel like a safe haven as a small herbivore but a mere snack stop for a towering apex predator.
However, one major issue stands out—there should be an option to self-kill at least in Early Access. If you spawn in the southern swamp, you're practically doomed. The area feels like a barren wasteland with no food or resources, making survival nearly impossible. The only way out is to painstakingly starve or drown yourself, just to hopefully respawn in a better location. In its current state, the swamp shouldn’t exist in the game.
Despite this frustration, The Isle remains an immersive and engaging survival experience, and I look forward to seeing how it evolves.
Cheaters never get dealt with no anti cheat nothing
Very good game. I played it for +500h and I liked it a lot.
Big problem though: Cheaters are really annoying in this game.
Sometimes randomly dying by "magic"?
This time, I just got killed as deino by a baby cerato landing me only two bites!
Sad to be patient and grow during 2h to finish like this...
I would play more this game but I don't have that much time to lose dying by cheaters like that.
Let's hope devs will do something...
I play Evrima and I love the game, unfortunately I have friends. I can barely play with them because it's such a beach to find them. Add a good grouping system like in the old version of the game and I'll give a thumbs up immediately. I don't want to track down the one person I'm trying to play with for hours at a time only to die and have to hunt eachother down again and again.
Game is sound, I have not experienced any hackers, one bug with the food stuck in the mouth. It is fun even when you get eaten by another player. I have had so many laughs and good times. I would recommend this to others. Play with a friend on discord is a great way to have many laughs.
I've put a lot of hours into this game, it probably consumed most my life during the pandemic. 99% of my hours went into its Legacy mode. It was fun, a little dull at times, but I met a lot of nice people. The presence of community servers definitely makes the game better, as I would not touch officials with a thousand foot pole.
The Evrima recode looked promising at first, but between the yearly updates and horrible optimization and frame rate, I eventually grew tired of waiting and couldn't be bothered to reinstall. It was worse before, times between updates may be a bit better now, but it's not enough of a difference to keep me interested.
The playerbase of this game (especially officials and FFA-based servers) suffers from the classic "animal simulator" stereotype, ie. most players are toxic, rude and extremely petty. We're talking CoD lobby levels of rage. It may boil down to the fact the only thing in the game is PvP which leaves people itching to kill anything, but the attitudes of the players is something else entirely. This alone has made me shelve this game for good.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this game to people looking to have a good time. I wouldn't take back the time I spent playing The Isle (although I wish I didn't play as much as I did), but I enjoyed it at the time and it got me through some tough bits of my life and reopened my love of dinosaurs, and for that I'm thankful for it. But I will not come back.
More hackers than players, more bugs than hackers, more time in queue than ingame...
Don't trust anyone, not even yourself.
Playing with pals? I wish you luck. More than a Thanksgiving Monopoly game, The Isle will put your friendships to the test. Starting with a small pack, you will all swear allegiance to one another. An hour later, you're stuck in a bush sobbing while a ceratosaurus sniffs around for you, someone has left the group because they became impatient, and a ceratosaurus is pursuing another friend.
Additionally, avoid making an effort to be friendly with strangers. They will betray you more quickly than a soap opera villain once you think you've found a cool player to hang out with. "Friendly" in this world means "I'll wait five more minutes before eating you." Recommend you should try the isle Evrima
game is neat on paper, in play though its total ass. first of all you have to download the whole ass other beta because THATS the actual game, the game it downloads and boots up when you buy the game is an abandoned project idk why its even there anymore tbh. lets see, the amount of players who mix dino races into clans like this is fucking prehistoric rust is fucking dumb as hell. the hit box attacking for the game is HORRENDOUS like holy fuck i cant believe its just "normal" to these smooth brains who play the game regularly for a hit that clearly is like 5 feet away from its target to be hitting constantly. oh and dont even get me STARTED on the hackers in the game jesus christ i was encountering hackers in the official servers FROM DAY ONE, deciding now to draw the line on this game cause my croc id been p[laying for the last like 3 hours just got killled by a full grown croc that just i shit you not phased into existence in front of me and then killed me. absolute bs this game is fucking run by retard devs.
After watching a number of videos on YouTube of glorious looking dinosaur based survival game-play, i was enticed into purchasing this game. Unfortunately, i have manged very little actual playtime in the 9 hours Steam suggests i have "played". The majority of my time has been spent waiting in queues attempting to play on servers within my region, or trying to play on servers outside of my region and suffering from some of the worst latency i have ever experienced in an online game.
I cannot comment on the actual game-play as i did not experience enough of it to form an opinion.
Perhaps the game is currently suffering from success and there are just not enough servers to meet the demands of the player base but as it stands, i cannot recommend this game to you.
1.Spawn in
2.Get eaten
3.Spawn in
4.Starve
5.Spawn in
6.Find a group
7.Have parents and roleplay.
8.Everyone dies because we don't understand combat.
9.Replay the game for as many hours as possible.
Fun game. Spent a couple hours growing a carno with a friend. little tiny dino kills him in a bite, then focuses me and kills me in a bite. That little dino is a troodon apparently and shouldn't be able to kill large dino's our size that way. my friend who is much more experienced tells me we got killed by a cheater....
Yeah i'll stop playing now. If cheaters running around that can dmg hack you to death after growing for a couple of hours... Not fun...
Ah, The Isle—a game so committed to Early Access that it might as well be a fossil itself. After 10+ years in development, you’d think we’d have a polished dinosaur survival experience. Instead, what we get is a glorified walking simulator where your greatest enemies aren’t apex predators, but bugs, server crashes, and mind-numbing boredom.
Let’s talk optimization—or rather, the complete lack of it. Unless you have a NASA-grade PC, expect frame drops so bad they’ll send you back to the Stone Age. And don't worry about all those “immersive” features they promised—they’re probably coming in another decade or two.
Oh, and the community? If you love spending hours raising a dinosaur just to be slaughtered instantly by some bored troll, this is the game for you!
The only real survival challenge in The Isle is surviving the regret of spending money on it. If you want an unfinished game where progress moves slower than evolution itself, go ahead—buy it. Otherwise, run for your life.
★☆☆☆☆ (1/10, would rather be fossilized)
game is still early there is not much you can do but the worst part is if you want to play with your friend it might never happen they always spawn you super far appart and you cant just run to them without dying you can play for 10h and never reach them.....pathetic.....if they let us join together i will change my review for better because the game is simple its relax but i dont care about solo playing I WANT TO JOIN MY FRIEND FFS
sitting in a fully forested area. hears running coming straight for me out out no where. for the millionth time someone with unlimited stamina knows your location. go figure. not to mention finding out the dev is a shill and the guy that made path of titans is the original dev of this game. this dude got rid of him and now can barely get anything going. how does the original leave and make a game with so many selections of dinos and this guy can only get a handful of broken dinos out.....? you cant even update the page. its showing a version of over a decade ago. why doesnt it show evrima why do you have do go to beta to play? lol this guy sucks
Its good but needs more frequent updates. And an optimalization update. Not many cheaters, fun to play with friends.
It's not what I expected. Maybe for couple people it might be the perfect game, but I was shocked, AI is pretty bad and doesn't respond when you attack, the map looks pretty crappy. Just a handfull of dinosaurs you can pick and there is a point where your footsteps get on your nerves because it's one single crappy sound.
Why is it still early access? This game is almost almost 10 years old.
After the negative stuff I have some good points. Ambient sounds are awesome, the thunder is pretty good and the nature sounds awesome. Soundtrack isn't bad too. Despite the crappy look, the map is massive and there is a lot to discover.
I will probably buy this game when it's ready. It has a lot of potential no doubt! But for a 10 year old Game, a bit shocking.
Devs! you can do it better! I believe in you!
spent hours raising for all controls to get randomly disabled leaving me defenceless at the worst time. i had to just sit there and let everything eat me.
checked google and this bug was being moaned about 2 years ago.... i think that sums the 'early access' up in a nut shell
Horrible game with a horrible community, filled with horrible decisions and horrible game design. You want to wander around for 40 minutes and slowly stave to death? Buy this shite.
You want a visceral, realistic survival experience playing as a dinosaur? Then stay far away from this game...
Positives
There are some positives to the game, such as graphics (although somewhat poorly optimized), unique animals, unique sounds and some interesting ideas for mechanics, such as climbing trees. The Isle is probably the best out there when it comes to dinosaur survival games due to it being pretty realistic, yet all I can say is: if you respect your time, you will STAY FAR AWAY!
Negatives
Some of the negatives are less annoying than others, but all of them contribute to ruining the experience.
Herbivores attack you on sight, or just for "fun", even if you're another herbivore, without any indication of wanting you to leave. They don't get any meaningful penalty for being an a-hole, in a way it's like this game rewards toxicity.
Balance in this game simply doesn't exist. In real life animals fit into their niches in the ecosystem and not every animal will fight every other animal, not every predator wants to fight every herbivore. In this game however nothing really encourages players to leave others alone, even if they are 100 times smaller than them. This is because the devs can't come up with an interesting and egaging survival mechanic for every animal, which results in silly things like acid-spitting herbivores, because you will get eaten or killed by literally every player in this game, unless they just want to chill or seriously role-play.
You can have a "cutsom" experience on a non-official server, which helps in some cases, but sadly doesn't change the unrealistic game mechanics. These mechanics and half-assed solutions ultimately boil down to one thing: a dev team that keeps the game in perpetual development for no reason, constantly adding features nobody asked for and not making up their minds about how things should work, which results in constant changes to core mechanics. They have NO IDEA of what they are doing and NO VISION for what they should be doing. On top of that (and as a consequence of that) the development is insanely slow, so don't expect them to add your favourite dino any time soon. To illustrate how little the devs care: the actual game that is being developed is the "evrima" branch, but the devs don't bother to tell you that, instead they are advertising a version on the Store page that has not been touched for like 5 years or something, and they seemingly expect you to play the classic version full of Chinese cheaters and no rules, no bans, no care.
The devs insist on putting humans into the game eventually, but nobody in their right mind is asking for that (in fact, I never heard anyone specifically asking for that, or saying they can't wait for humans to be implemented, even the biggest bootlickers have their reservations). The original idea for the game involved humans and even mutant creatures, which they still seem to be pushing. However, in the meanwhile the game turned out to be a simple survival game, where you play a dinosaur. All they had to do was polish the mechanics and balance and constantly add creatures and maps, but instead the maps get deleted constantly, they add only a few dinos per year, and instead of sticking with one mechanic, they switch them for new ones for some stupid excuse. All of this results in an unnecessarily long development time.
The lead dev is also probably a huge factor as to why this game is in perpetual development-hell. The more you read or hear about him, the more you understand why this game with a great potential turned out to be a mess. Since he's an egomaniac from what I gather, I don't think this game will ever be finished, mechanics will not be settled on, and development will keep taking one step forward and two steps back. It is also very telling that one of the old lead developers left his side, and instead he went on to create another dinosaur game, that stuck to its mechanics and vision, and is now finished and successful. Meanwhile The Isle adds and removes the same change in a single update (yes, this means 0 progress) and doesn't know where to go or how to go there after a decade of back-and-forth.
I put almost all my hours in when I thought The Isle had a future, but now I see that I was just coping. If you can find a community without sweatlords and idiots, the game can be fun. Sometimes you meet another member of your own species in the game and mess around a little and it will be fun. But all of this games is just a time-waster at best. And since it's not a well-made survival game as it is advertised, I can only say: stay far away!
Love-Hate Relationship.. That is the experience you will feel.. Guaranteed. At first, you'll love it! Can't stop playing! But rather quickly does that feeling turn.. You'll notice that 90% of your time is spent in the game is as a juvenile searching for food. Why? Cause it takes a long time to grow and food is scarce.. When I say it takes a long time to grow, I mean a long time.. up to several hours as the biggest dinos(from the small list that we currently have) but only takes a minute to die. Rinse and repeat. As an adult, nothing to do.. Lay under a bush. The game lacks content and unfortunately, even after nearly 10 years, it's still in a quite early dev stage.. At this rate, our grand-kids may be able to experience the game fully released. There is so much potential in this game, the art looks great and the concepts are quite appealing! But it's all spoon fed.. It's eye candy until it's in the game.
TLDR; In the long-term this game is great investment(10/10). But right now, it's just a handful of dinos and afk sim(4/10).
P.S.. The graphics are amazing(10/10)
i love this game just wish it was more accessible for cheaper laptops/pcs and available on other platforms
Caveats to consider.
It has been in alpha or beta a long time. As it stands, it is still enjoyable for me.
There are going to be a lot of changes if the work on this game continues.
This game offers an extremely niche and unique gameplay experience I haven't seen replicated elsewhere.
If being in an immersive, semi-horror wildlife simulator with dinosaurs appeals to you, you will get your money's worth.
I would stress, it is worth it *only if you are really into the idea of this niche*. For me, it's one of my favourite games of all time, but I think my demand for a game in this genre carries a lot of that.
The main downsides for me are:
• A lot of AFK time with no real core gameplay loop.
• Fairly poor netcode and programming. The game feels very buggy, combat feels quite desynced, and servers are often laggy. I don't mind giving small teams a lot of leeway on this stuff, I know making games is really hard. But I do have to say it feels amateur even in comparison to other Indy games.
Game will never go anywhere, completely shit Devs, get stuck on terrain or in mechanics of the game the whole time. Another game that will stay in early access for another 10 years so they never have to fix anything.
Let me start by saying that this game is very fun. plenty of realistic combat/roleplay potential to be had here. When i say potential, I mean it. Evrima is not good whatsoever at the MOMENT. Legacy on the other hand, had a great vision, good mechanics and amazing rag-dolling physics. It is a shame they ended development on it, although it is still a great game! Definitely the best dino game that still keeps its realistic factor.
absolute dogshit of a game, way too realistic to be any fun. When you download the game for the first time it's a version scrapped 5 years ago and it's so infuriating you just die in the stupupidest ways instead of actually having a chance to fight most times and it teaches NOTHING about its compex mechanics NOT EVEN CONTROLS the only positive thing about this game is that you can play as a dinosaur and even that can't compensate.
Imagine spending over 2 hours trying to figure out how to play the game, only to resort to watching YouTube videos to realize you need to change the settings in Properties > Betas to the evrima branch in order to even PLAY THE CURRENT GAME! FIX YOUR GAME DEVS! 10 years and no tutorial or proper game launch?!
Now I can't get a refund on this garbage. Don't make my same mistake.
just to let you all know. This game was in earlier access for over 9 years now. And it feels like no progress was ever made and the only thing the game has going for it is that you play as a dinosaur and the diet mechanic. And the map is just way to big. i was in a 100 plus server and i didn't find nobody for like 40 minutes. and the many bugs and clashes i have encountered.
in my opinion i've wasted £15 this is a waste off time and i recommend you wait for the game to get out off "earlier access if it will ever come out."
Devs are lazy AF, if you want to play a game and wait 2 years for them to add two useless dinos, and ruin every map that comes out, then sure buy it. Not to mention bad performance, and somehow making graphic blurry no matter what you do, there are more settings in the .ini file than in the game! they are soo lazy they won't add those settings into the game, and you actually have to change the game in beta's because the one you get right after installing is a version that wasn't worked on for years....
PSA: For those new to the game, the best / latest version has to be selected in the game properties:
1. Right click on the game in your library
2. Click Properties
3. Click Betas
4. Select EVRIMA Public Branch
Enjoy!
(Evrima, as of early 2025)
Migration system is dumb, it would be great if it just incentivised movement by giving different buffs or perks, but no instead the game literally just only spawns food in one single small area that you have to go to. It completely blocks you from exploring around the map in an open world game, and instead you just have to mindlessly follow your compass because there's no food spawn anywhere else in the world. makes a big map feel even more empty when you can't actually go anywhere on your own volition and instead have to sit in whatever circle the game tells you to.
The roster of playables still isn't as good as legacy, graphics look blurry even with motion blur disabled, there's a bug that blocks you out of chat and instead makes the enter key change the game from windowed to fullscreen, and the combat is too convoluted and unintuitive because each animal has like 2-4 different stances that have different attacks for each direction you're facing and your relative movespeed.
There's nothing to do in the game. There's never any AI to find anywhere. It's hard to find players. It's an empty world where you can run around as a dinosaur until you starve to death.
Had to search up multiple tutorials just to get into the correct version of the game and find out you need to manually install an anti-cheat. Once I could finally see servers, sat in a queue for 20 minutes and never connected after it told me it was connecting for 10 minutes. Couldn't load any other servers after that, couldn't even try the game
SECOND EDIT: This has to be the most ridiculous review ever, there is so much to love about the game but it feels very early access for how long they have been working on it. Finally found a dino I love to play and have been sticking with that until they fix everything. It really is a fun game just so much needs worked on it really is a gamble buying it now. I've played enough hours, clearly enjoying it but it really does need some like objectives or something other than eat, drink, don't fall off a cliff. If you like those things buy the game, otherwise I'd wait.
EDIT: What in the world is the fall damage in this game? There doesn't seem to be any consistency at all. Like I just spent 3 hours getting a dino to 95% growth and barely set foot off of a MILD slop, not a cliff, not a drop off, just a minor incline that was not even the height of my dino and went from being 100% health, perfect diet, water full, 0 injuries vibing having fun to completely deceased after not even a millisecond of being slightly airborne going down the worlds most manageable incline that you can casually walk up. I've updated to not recommended because this game has so much work to be done before it is playable.
FIX YOUR SERVERS This gets a thumbs up because it's cash money getting to be a dino. BUT there was a 30 minute wait just to get into a server, and then I got kicked from the server due to me being glitched into a rock. So now I'm sitting for another 30 minutes waiting to rejoin my friends almost back in number 5 in line ONLY TO BE RANDOMLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE QUEUE AND RIGHT BACK TO THE BACK OF THE LINE. I've been waiting an hour just to rejoin my friends and now it's been so long everyone is going to bed and I've just spent my night chilling in a queue. Fix it. More servers. I just want to be a dino with my pals :(
dont even try it, u want a good dino game go pay 10 bucks more for path of titans developers that actually care are making the game so. ill say it again dont waste ur money go buy PATH OF TITANSSSSSSSS
The game looks cool. Unfortunately it's one of those game with really terrible server support.
Also the dino's I was interested in playing are:
"The playables you listed are all Sandbox dinosaurs, they used to be playable in the progression gamemode, before that gamemode was scrapped for Survival. The sandbox dinos are all the playables that were never added to the survival gamemode before legacy was abandoned for Evrima. So they're normally not available in survival" (<--From a Reddit post a yr ago)
So the game had content, but it's no longer completely playable because the developers acting ADHD with their product can keep repackaging it? ..with LESS content?...
Yeah, I'm usually patient with games and their developers but ..I'll take my money back for now on this one.
game has been in BETA for years and cant seem to fix simple problems. always having trouble eating, drinking,and getting stuck in the dumbest spots.
If you want to be a dinosaur in a PvP free-for-all with 150 other players, then this is the game for you. The developers have plans for an additional 20 dinosaurs for future updates and the Evrima graphics are stunning. You can currently join large group warfare or play solo and stalk other people.
Want to troll other dinos instead for hours of entertainment? You can do that too. This game satisfies the itch of wanting something competitive that doesn't feel like a huge waste of time.
My only complaint is that there isn't any kind of leader board or profile data. It would be nice if players could see your overall account stats inside of the game. Your kills, your deaths, any strange achievements you've unlocked like the saltwater mutation. Maybe your most played dino???
I am getting my fun out of the game but I think I'll lose interest soon without a leader board system keeping things grounded.
This is the only thing I think it lacks in retaining players because after you've spent the day dying, killing, and trolling... It means nothing.
The game needs a lot of work. The servers are way too small and there aren't enough servers so if you intend to play this you have to do it on a day you have off. And if you're trying to play with friends good luck finding them. Having to use a website map that isn't visible onscreen is absolutely terrible. This game needs years of work at this point and I genuinely don't see it getting the updates and work put into it that it desperately needs. On top of all that, the audio has an issue where it won't turn off after the game is turned off. Yes, I checked task manager, nothing was running in the background. And no you cant turn off the music in the settings so you can actually hear yourself think.
this game was so good perfect but they removed chosing your spawn which i kinda get but its a pain to play with friends and there is no new content but its still good game
Game devs never cared, still don't. Progress is incredibly slow. It literally takes years for significant changes to come. By this rate the game will still be in early access in 2030, no exaggeration.
On top of this, minor changes, like bug fixes and balance change almost never come, when they do they are poorly implemented, it seems like the devs never actually played the game.
No update has managed to solve this buggy mess, which is ironic because we were all told that switching from legacy to envirma would incur fewer bugs and allow for faster and more advanced changes. Essentially none of what was promised was ever delivered upon, shame as is one of only a few games in its genre.
Overall 3.5/10, buy if you want to play in the far and distant future of the game that was promised YEARS ago.
I started playing this game a couple of months ago, and haven't stopped since. It tickles every part of my brain, and also scares the everloving shit out of me. 10/10
TLDR: Toxic community, toxic dev/s, lackluster game, hours of gameplay with nothing to do every session, don't give them more money (no content, no updates, devs silence criticism)

Sure, it looks pretty, but the game is extremely boring. Only thing to do is to eat, drink, die repeat. Takes hours to get to a point where you can safely interact with other players without instantly dying, but you do anyways because combat sucks and players are so starved of things to do in the game, they seek others out just to kill them or to toot at each other as different dinos for a while.
I played it a lot years ago because I found it fun (it was super different back then), but now its the most boring game in the world.
Gameplay loop is literally the following if you're on your own --> spawn as a baby, spend hours eating and drinking on repeat, become an adult, die and do it again. No joke. Very little interaction with the environment or others for most of every single game session.
There is little AI (the ones that are there aren't immersive, they stand still or run around aimlessly until killed), there's no map so you barely know where you're going when you start playing, there's no one around for hours of gameplay. There's so little to do, people turn to finding and killing each other because its the only thing that's fun, which leads to problems other people have already mentioned.
In theory, it'd be great to experience immersive dinosaur or creature simulator games. But the thing is, it has to be a game; the isle barely has enough content to be considered a game imo. It is not fun or immersive, and the current systems and mechanics do not encourage the gameplay that it needs to be fun.
Saddest of all, the devs are not interested in working on the problems that are currently ruining the game. They're out of touch with what's happening, and the lead dev doesn't mind sacrificing the game's entire community to get what they want. On that note, don't give them more money as they literally burn it for their own interests (no updates, no content, only promises, they silence their community, poorly designed game, decade in early access with nothing to show but pretty game models).
It has been a decade... and there is literally no gameplay mechanics. Again, just pretty models.
Don't buy, will only lead to disappointment.
This game has been in Early Access for nearly 10 years and we still only have 10 or so Creatures to play as, and a map that's too big and performance-heavy for its own good. Combine that with a toxic fanbase/devs, and you have a recipe for dissapointment. I would not recommend this game.
Trying to come back after several years because I saw some fun looking gameplay on YouTube, but the absolute state of getting the game to run is a complete joke, not to mention logistical nightmare for the player. Apparently you have to go through all these hoops and hurdles just to get the game to run, buy validating files, downloading 3rd party bug fixes from shady sources on the internet, then i' told to disable my firewall and or antivirus programs. Fuck all that. Fix the game and make it so players can simply download the game and fucking play it. Is it that difficult to do? Is it really so much for someone who paid for the game to ask that the god gamn "Play" button actually let me play the game. ow has it gotten so bad that the community, THE COMMUNITY, has to come out with a bug fix for the game just to even launch. Hot garbage, don't waste your time or money.
TL;DR
Game is in a state where 3rd party files and fixes are needed to simply run the game. Avoid at all costs.
for over 8 hours i have tried to get this game to work but nothing does. game load in with zoomed it menu. cant change resalution because accept button is off screen can load a game can do anything. this was a waste of money on a game i used to love to play when it first came out.
Possibly the worst game I have ever played. The vast majority of the gameplay is simply walking slowly forwards, heading towards water or looking for food. The mechanic to grow is to simply wait for a few hours, plodding about through the same repeating landscape....oh look...another tree...wow....a rock...or you can just do nothing. Once fully grown, the objective of the game is to what? You can have a 4 second fight which consists of clicking to bite kind of near the other dinosaur and see who falls over first...if you die its back to the beginning. Or instead of fighting you can just stand about (this is what most people seem to do). DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS TERRIBLE GAME.
