Prehistoric Kingdom

tutorials dont work, game dont work, mid at best rip

I really enjoyed how much easier building is in this game compared to most simulators. I usually struggle with guest paths in other games, but in this one, the paths are way less finicky, and guests seem to walk fine on stairs so far. The only issue I’ve had is one of my staff members glitching onto a roof, but it didn’t really affect my gameplay much.

This game is beyond great. It lacks the diversity of species that JWE/JWE2 has but it makes up for it with habitat and dinosaur design, sound design, and better freedom when it comes to building your park. I wish there was live feeders and more dinosaurs to play around with but i cannot complain due to the fact that this game not only has one parasaurolophus species but 2 (the greatest dinosaur of all time). Overall this game gets a solid 9.5 nutcrackers out of 10 ford pickup trucks.

i like the custom builds and everything. the dinosaurs are realistic i love it but it makes your game lag sooo bad

love this game!!! Would really love to see the glyptodonts genus tho...

Like a mix of JWE and Planet Zoo. I love how free you can be in this game—you can design your own buildings, enclosures, the environment and so much more. I also love the animal designs as well! imo this game has a lot of potential in the future, especially with the upcoming update of baby animals! Hope to also see updates that introduces prehistoric marine life—not just from the time of the dinosaurs but from the Cenozoic as well. Same for Pterosaurs and other extinct avians.

A more in depth and complicated building style that focuses alot more on realism then the other prehistoric park builder, Evo. While it may take some time to get used too it is a wonderful park sim.

This is by far the best REALISTIC, let me be clear REALISTIC dinosaur zoo game on the market at the moment, it is outshone by Jurassic World's zoo games simply because of mechanic variety and species number, but that is soon to change. If you aren't looking for Jurassic games' p2w mentality with all the dlcs and such and unrealistic dinos, this is the game for you. Otherwise, if you're looking for more variety and options, hold off or go buy from Jurassic's wide selection. (I hear they're making a new game, so look into that.)

Amazing game really good artwork and much better than evolution after i played both

ENG - ITA

ENG - Prehistoric Kingdom is a fantastic project, born from the passion, expertise, hard work, and dedication of a small group of indie developers who have been doing an extraordinary job over the years.

The game is currently in Early Access, meaning it's still in development, but the team regularly releases substantial updates that introduce new animals, new features, and numerous bug fixes. Despite being in Early Access, the game already offers a complete and well-rounded experience, covering everything from fossil extraction (to obtain genetic material), to animal management (dinosaurs and prehistoric mammals, with an impressive level of scientific accuracy—just look at the Spinosaurus model!), as well as basic staff and visitor management.

One of the game’s strongest aspects is the building mode, which, thanks to a simple yet brilliant idea—the ability to resize all building elements—allows for total creative freedom, enabling players to design unique structures or breathtaking natural landscapes.

I’m truly thrilled about this project, and I encourage all fans of management and simulation games, especially those focused on zoos and wildlife parks, to check out and support this title. Prehistoric Kingdom deserves to grow and achieve the success it truly deserves! 🚀

Prehistoric Kingdom è un bellissimo progetto, frutto della passione, della competenza, del duro lavoro e dell'abnegazione di un piccolo gruppo di sviluppatori indie che negli anni stanno facendo davvero un lavoro straordinario.

ITA - Il gioco si trova in Early Access, quindi è ancora in fase di sviluppo, ma il team pubblica con regolarità consistenti aggiornamenti che introducono sempre nuovi animali, nuove funzionalità e numerosi bug fixing.
Nonostante sia in Early Access consente già un'esperienza di gioco completa e rotonda, che va dall'estrazione di fossili (da cui ricavare il materiale genetico), alla gestione degli animali (dinosauri e mammiferi preistorici il cui punto di forza è la massima accuratezza scientifica [a riguardo si veda il modello dello Spinosaurus!!!]) nei loro habitat, passando per una gestione base dello staff e dei visitatori.
Molto potente è la modalità di costruzione che grazie ad una trovata geniale e semplice al contempo (quella di poter ridimensionare tutti gli elementi di costruzione) permette di scatenare tutta la propria creatività e costruire bellissimi edifici o scenari naturali.

Io sono davvero entusiasta di questo progetto e invito tutti gli appassionati di giochi gestionali di simulazione, in particolare quelli a tematica "zoo" ad avvicinarsi e sostenere questo titolo, perché merita davvero di crescere e di raggiungere il successo che si merita!

Awesome game for dino lovers but make sure you have a good PC

its seemless all the dinosaurs are paolo accurate and nigel marvin voices nigel marvin but i would like babys but that is coming so yeah

Love it, 10/10. I know its not a finished game yet, but my only complaints are there could be more animals in the game, and sometimes guests/animals will glitch onto buildings, or under the map. The animals already provided in the game are amazing though!!

The fact Nigel Marvin Narrates facts about the animals alone makes this game amazing. its just breathtaking. This games wholesome passion is fantastic.

One of my favorite dinosaur games on steam, this game is like Planet Zoo but with dinosaurs. The accurate scientific models is a good way to grab more dinosaur lovers around the world. I love this game.

i like dinosaurs and the models are cool

Alot of the core game-feel gives me strong Zoo Tycoon vibes, which is something no other zoo sim on the market has been able to accomplish for me. Still early access but incredibly promising. The modular building system is a bit excessive but the exhibit-building tools let you create some really breathtaking exhibits.

Best collection of prehistoric animal designs out there.

this game was made specifically with my brand of autism in mind. thank you.

I haven't been playing very long yet, however, this game is already so much fun, iv'e been playing it everyday since i got it in between life. The customizability of the game is truly amazing, and I can only see it getting better tbh. So excited to see what new dinos come to the game next and add them to my park!

its jsut impossible to play like oh u dont like that ok ill delete its trees and place good ones for u wait u dont like it still WELL WHATS WRONG THE GRASS WELL WOMP WOMP U WILL NOW ROT IN THE SAME SPOT FOREVER CUZ I AINT PLAYING THIS GAME AGAIN

lo amo es lo mejor definitivamente mejor que jwe 2 no tiene peleas aun pero es una joyita aun asi and for the english this is my comment I love it, it's the best, definitely better than jwe 2, it doesn't have fights yet, but it's a gem even so.

Fun Park builder with paleo accurate dinosaurs, few bugs but fun regardless

This game is basically the result of planet zoo and jurassic world evolution 2.The potential for this game is higher than the both of them combined.
ADD MARINE REPTILES PTEROSAURS AND OTHER PREHISTORIC ANIMALS.

Fun, Detailed, and closer to the real dinosaur looks...
There's still some small bug.. but the game overall was working fine...
I hope dev can add more animation for every animals, like their interaction...
Can't wait what will they deliver to this games, so far, everything is good, the UI is updated, The path is easier to do now... So far I'm enjoy this games...

i have uninstalled the game 3 times in past due to tutorial. today i gave it another chance, still similar bugs. there are lots of bugs. i am not going to refund but also going to leave a negative review until you make tutorial playable

Whilst this game is still under development and has its fair share of bugs and problems, it is awesome. With elements from both JWE/JWE2 and Planet Zoo being improved and combined. The dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals have been made to appeal to different theories there are about them (an example of this being horn vs stump on elasmotherium) and this creates an interesting mix and allows for scientific accuracy.

Moreover, building on a large scale is made easy with the scaling tool that allows you to shrink and grow objects. Whilst making things too big does mean a loss in detail, I find that a lot of the time the detail is still kept quite well.

The future of this game is also looking very positive providing that they can remain funded. With babies, social behaviour, more species and paleobotany all on the horizon along with many other updates, the future is bright and I can't wait to see what's next to grace our screens.
Overall, this is a great game for people that want to experience modular building with the wonders of dinosaurs and other prehistoric wonders.

9/10

Maybe it is a good game, but a bug that made it impossible to feed the animals made it so I couldn't ever find out

a beautiful game with accurate dinosaur models and other prehistoric animals

The game is awesome to play, I recommend buying the game now and then waiting for them to update the gate in the future and to stick around until they add something you might enjoy!

This is honestly such an amazing game, The models are nice and the game is pretty fun. Even tho im bad at building its still fun to build a enclosure. Apple approved.

Despite it's early access state, the game is well constructed with a strong core gameplay loop. It focuses on building out a dinosaur park, though unlike it's competitors it balances good management with a precise and detailed build engine. There are core systems missing and the animal roster is a bit thin, but the game is playable and enjoyable in it's current state. Updates from the development team are frequent and transparent. Expect bugs as it is early access, though so far most of the ones I've found can be fixed with a simple restart, and I have yet to loose progress. Bug reporting is easy. If you like Planet Zoo, you're going to love this game.

Pretty bare-boned and incomplete but they were heading in a good direction. But now, with their posting about developers working for free and needing more money via Patreon to "keep the game running", I wouldn't be surprised if this new franchise is abandoned sooner than later. Just beware of what you are getting into when purchasing a still in development game. It's worth it at the $10 level but it's definitely not worthy of a full priced game as it isn't a full game.

4 out of 10.

Although I haven't played for an exceptionally long time during the period of this review being posted, I must say that the developers are greatly innovative, and are always giving out new updates. I think this game deserves attention, and anyone reading should check it out! <3

absolutely stunning visuals i love this game, although gameplay is a bit confusing i'd say, as i didnt play the tutorial 😁😁

Fun game, basically Planet Zoo with dinosaurs.

It's still early access and incredibly buggy. My workers will randomly get stuck in a loop of falling off the map when they try to take stuff out of the receiving bay, and for some reason my velociraptors couldnt recognize their enclosure, as well as a handful of other bugs. And progression is pretty slow early on, which can be quite discouraging.

It has a wide variety of dinosaurs and other extinct creatures available, some I haven't even heard of. Plus the animals they have seem to fairly consistently be the most accurate representation I've seen in most media. As someone with a massive hyperfixation on dinosaurs and paleontology, this game makes my heart sing.

I cannot recommend the game in its current state, but once it gets a few more patches and fixes its more glaring issues then I'll gladly swtich my review to be positive.

100,000 out of 100,000. Only complaint is updates (like Otogeny) take longer than expected. I get it though.

I played the crap out of Zoo tycoon as a child. This gave me the same feeling. However It definitely still feels like early access. It shows incredible promise and I can't wait for the final version! The steam workshop community is also freaking amazing and makes the game so much more fun.

Personally better then JWE1 and JWE2 for me, mostly because of the realistic dinosaurs and mammals.
I do have a request though, PLS add atleast one of these Creatures : Andrewsarchus, Doedicurus, Entelodon, Thylacoleo, Therizinosaurus, Amphicoelias or Pachycephalosaurus.

The game is clearly in beta, but that being said, it's everything I wanted in JWE2. Let me set up my park, let me make my dinos and enjoy myself (managing the power-grid layout was never part of my dino park dreams). The art is pretty, the dinos move well, and aside from a few minor bugs regarding the npcs this is going to be a game I'm going to enjoy even more in its full release form.

I love the idea, game, and mechanics but theres one thing. I cant play that much cuz i keep crashing every 17 to 30 minutes :( and i do know that it is in early access to i did expect crashes, lag spikes, ect, But is there a way you can fix it?

but it is fun, i know it is be cuz i played some time to know and i watch alot of gameplay and it looks fun and is!

NOTE: i would give this 10/10 but becouse of the crashing I think a 8/10 is good!


EDIT: its good now! i edited my settings.

It cannot be overstated how wonderful this game is! Prehistoric Kingdom keeps up to date with the most up-to-date prehistoric animals with beautiful animations and fantastic models.

In addition to having great dinosaurs, which is what attracted me to this game in the first place, as zoo sim game it's extremely fun too! The game grants you so much flexibility to create structures for zoo guests, with additional creativity offered through the use of customizable modules. Beautiful, well-researched plants really bring these time periods to life.

Fantastic game, only bought it a few days ago and have already sunk many hours into it. Highly recommended from me!

Great game, very promising and definitely underrated!

The focus of this game is on dinosaur realism, and it does that very well.

Graphics and park building are also really good.

Very recommended, just keep in mind that it's currently on Early Access, so some features are still missing.

this is a cool game that has a great building system that i would consider better then planet zoo but the water could use work to allow underwater viewing and dinosaurs like allosaurs and stegosaurus are missing but its still beta though more permian and traissic animals would be cool

Very nice sandbox game with an okay amount of creatures(at the moment) but only a few skins, however very nice with the addition of having variation to the skins, mutations of the skins and size changes between animals. Gives a lot of variation even though it might not seem like it at first.

However, highly recommended having any sort of reference images for what you want to do because going into it blind and trying to build something creative and epic without any idea in beforehand is just not happening

love this game havent played it for long and i still am very bad but i still love in none the less

This has potential to be the best dino-zoo simulator we (gamers at large) have ever had, anywhere, ever. It doesn't give you that much direction as you play yet though, so if you're someone who might need that wait for full release. If you know you're gonna buy it though, buy now - support devs.

Out of all the zoo management games i have played This game has by far the most potential. It is already a fun game taking some of the best elements from the zoo tycoon and planet zoo properties.

If they can successfully tackle the challenges that come with their ambition to include aquatic and large flying animals i am certain this game will outshine any other zoo game.

The only weak point about the game in its current state is in my opinion the very heavily (non avian) dinosaur focused roster. While (non avian) dinosaurs are awesome i would very much like to see some more animals belonging to other groups like reptiles and birds in adition to more mammals. The addition of paleozoic animals would also add a lot to the roster in my opinion.

TLDR great game with greater potential the only weaker point being a matter of taste.

Fully what you expect from a planet zoo type game, but this version is more forgiving, easier and in my opinion, more fun.
I cant say i expected alot from this game given that it's still early development, but I was surprised with the mechanics and even more surprised to see the animals/dinosaurs interacting with their enviorment. To be honest, i got this game on a whim because it just seemed fun and planet zoo wasnt on sale, and im pleasantly surprised and happy with my purchase. The only things that could be considered annoying is that the mammoths currently have a glitch where they stand in place until they starve, and also the low dinosaur / animal selection- but other than that, highly recommend For a hot minute I couldn't find a game to spend hours on, and now i have.

Great game with exciting plans for the future, combines really good mechanics from other tycoon games that work really well. Plus the graphics are amazing. It also is set out to accomplish what many other park/zoo builders failed to do, simulate real like animal behavior, like socializing, HERDING and much more. Great work from the devs overall and I hope it gets the merit it deserves.
