I'm having the time of my life, but I do have criticisms. - I don't love the human models and clothing options. (personal preference) - I wish that you could place markers on your minimap. - Certain things are not explicitly explained/detailed which could frustrate some players. - If you get off your mount at your ranch, it runs off on you unless you give your flute a toot. It's annoying lol. - It would be cool for them to add some kind of indicator of a rare spawn at the start of the day. Not saying where/what, just to state that there is one afoot. That's all I can think of at the present. I'm enjoying the game regardless, but I keep coming across annoyances and what-ifs. They could definitely add some more polish and features with a few patches. ✨

Nah. -models look.. plasticy and ugly -not much clothing -the dinos just outshine everything else. The onl6 thing it has going is the dinosaurs and your limited to it -there’s no good money progression in the game. I got to autumn and I was still earning barely enough to feed the small amount I had - there’s nothing else to do beyond befriending dinos. After that there’s nothing else to do to for the game. - shallow story, there’s just.. really not any interesting progression at all. - the npcs are very bland and uninteresting - there’s not really any mining, dinos don’t drop anything (etc feathers, eggs etc), no fishing or bug catching or anything - there’s no home or decoration beyond very limited items that’s just not available for most the game - the ranch is so big for no reason. There’s no way to decorate it nicely so all you really have is a few pens and a small plot for farming. - there’s cooking sure, but you never learn how to. You have to figure it out and even then it’s not amazing. I didn’t even know there was cooking and I’m almost done with the game. - it’s very bad at explaining how to progress - the only way to get decent money are from the town board, which there’s only like 4 different types. It gets super boring super quickly. - the festivals are few and far between as well as very bare bones. Honestly for the hype, not worth it.

I just bought this game last night and I'm loving it so far! I bought it on steam and am using keyboard/mouse so don't have your same controller frustrations, but I definitely agree that it's a little annoying to have to dismount your dino to pick up certain items. All in all I think it's super cute and love all the dino designs and the journal! Can't wait to play more!

I really like Paleo Pines, and I do also have some quibbles. Building/designing is one of the things I like best in these cozy game, and I was really disappointed that not only do you not build anything (besides pens), you can't even go into your house! I also dislike some of the dinosaur mechanics. I like that each dino does specific tasks, as it makes you work at getting different dinosaurs. But any dinosaur that uses its tail for its task (breaking logs, slashing bushes) take 2 to 3 times longer than any other dinosaur, and for some reason they tend to get stuck or forget what they are doing quite often. It is the only thing in the game that I frankly find quite tedious. I also think that the game does an extremely poor job of directing you and explaining things. I have had to pause the game and go online dozens of times to find info that I should have been able to find in the game. This could easily be fixed by having a Help page in the diary where you can search for into. As an early access game it is exceptional; as a full release game it needs some updates.

I'd love a multiplayer option to this game, or maybe more customization for our characters and dinosaur saddles/tack.

That definitely is the worry with life sims. Some people love the repetitive grind but I can understand why it's not great for some. And I also wonder how long the game is. Since it lacks deep relationships and decorating, I don't imagine it's like an AC or Stardew that can be played for years, yknow?

Looks adorable but Idk if I'd try it out. I miss that special something that makes me want to play this game and not one of the many others with a similar concept. The most unique aspect are the dinosaurs instead of typical farm animals... but apart from that it just looks very basic. No interior design feature? GASP, that's a giant red flag for me because it is one of the most fun things to do in these kind of games. And the lack of inventory space is one of the most annoying things in any game, pretty frustrating and can kill the fun of playing a game sometimes. Just started playing Fae Farm (only a few hours in so far), so I think I'll stick with that one for now and skip Paleo Pines. Very informative video again though! 🙂
