    Unfortunately, Prehistoric Dude’s problems aren’t minor. Lots of annoyances add up to make this a small game that I disliked. It has a real need for additional polish. With the Switch eShop packed with better similar-budget games, I can’t find any reason to recommend this forgettable one.

    Prehistoric Dude could have been somewhat enjoyable for a budget-sized indie if it wasn’t for its handful of very annoying issues. I can ignore its repetitive visuals, handful of typos and bad soundtrack; it’s a hindrance that comes with the fact you’re basically developing an entire game on your own. What I can’t ignore, on the other hand, is its incredibly poor gameplay.

    Prehistoric Dude feels like it’s going through the motions. It’s too short, yet somehow manages to be repetitive, and the annoying combat and bugs will probably only encourage players to rush through the experience.

    There isn’t much else to cover though. Prehistoric Dude on Xbox One takes a little over an hour to beat. While there are more chests to open, I managed to easily nab the 1000 Gamerscore in that time and there isn’t much of a reason to revisit the rest of the game after that. It must be said that I didn’t really hate my time playing Prehistoric Dude, but I just didn’t really enjoy it either.
