Critic reviews
- 3rd-strike.com7.4Farming simulator diehards will probably find Paleo Pines’ gameplay to be too shallow, but anyone looking to dip their toes in the genre for the first time will find a good time here. This entry-level farming sim knows that its main selling point is its dinosaurs, so it puts them front and center, backed up by a lovable cast of NPCs and simple, yet accessible gameplay.
- Xbox Tavern7.1If you want to delve into a soothing farming simulator adventure that doesn’t put the strain on your back with rudimentary activities, Paleo Pines is a nice deviation from the chore-based habits of its forebears.
- Gaming Trend6.5Overall I felt disappointed in Paleo Pines. The world is bright, colorful, and fun to be in. The dinosaurs are truly adorable. Playing the flute to learn their song to befriend them is a very unique experience. But the rest of the execution is just mediocre at best. Forgettable quests, roadblocks on things that just aren’t fun, cost of supplies is too high, and the fact we can’t even go into our house is a real bummer. The quality of life things that we all basically expect in games these days just aren’t there. I’d love to see some changes made to the game. I honestly really did try to get into Paleo Pines because the visuals are adorable, but at the end of it all, I was left incredibly bored and lost interest.
- Gaming Nexus7.0I haven’t much negative to say about Paleo Pines. I don’t love it, but I do like it a lot. The retail price of $29.99 is more than fair considering what you get – you get a lot of bang for your buck. I was able to overlook the basic visuals to see the magic behind them. While the farming elements feel basic, the dinos make this game stand out from the crowd. Collecting and taking care of them is worthwhile and feels rewarding in the long run.
- Switchaboo8.0Paleo Pines is a very cosy farm sim in a sea of hundreds of other farming titles. The game stands apart from its competition thanks to its dinosaur taming and the unique abilities each creature brings to the table.
