Best Dinosaur Games
Immerse into the world of dinosaurs and learn about their habitat as you explore the world of deadly creatures. Here is the list of 11 games from the age of ancient dinosaurs to futuristic one too.
Primal Rage
Choose from seven different dinosaurs versus arcade battles. Primal Rage is a fighting game of an old generation. Although the game is outdated compared to the modern games, its unique fighting mechanics still provides hours of fun for those who are into fighting games. Every character has its fighting abilities with violent moves similar to mortal kombat. It might be confusing at first as you fight with dinosaurs with their different anatomical figures and execute combos. Still, once you get the hang of fighting mechanics, you will easily experience smooth gameplay and defeat harder enemies.
The Isle
It’s a multiplayer simulator game with prehistoric animals. Venture into the dense jungle and swamp terrain as you hunt down tiny beasts for your growth as the size of your creature defines progression. You also meet other players in the form of dinosaurs who will either help you with your survival or hunt you down for their purpose. Scavenge through the lands finding food and water, and if you find a suitable place to settle into, you can always respawn to the selected location. Although there are many things to do online with friends, the game is more focused on peaceful survival and exploration.
Beast of Bermuda
Become a dinosaur and live on the island of Bermuda. Beast of Bermuda is a massive online multiplayer game where players can roam around, becoming the beast of the prehistoric era. There are a lot of things you can do here. It’s like a survival game, but you are a dinosaur. You can choose from three selected races of these beasts. You can go all airborne, become gentle grass-eating monsters, or go all rage with predators. Like any other survival game, there is a hunger meter, thirst meter, and comfort level. The environment becomes uncomfortable for you to survive, gradually decreasing your health. If you want to play with friends but don’t seem to find cooperative players, you can choose to become an egg. You become an egg and wait for the egg to hatch. Although it’s not fun being an egg, once you hatch, you will find yourself in a home with families, which is more than enough to survive on the unforgiving island of Bermuda. You will also have abilities and talents as you progress in your gameplay. There are a huge number of survival elements balanced with beast abilities. Choose a dinosaur, watch them grow, and become the ultimate king of the island dominating every other dinosaur species.
Primal Carnage Extinction
Do you wish to battle against players who are also dinosaurs? Well, your wish has been granted. Primal Carnage Extinction is an online first-person shooting multiplayer game where you can also play like a third-person dinosaur action or, shall I say, third dinosaur action. Either way, you can choose to become a dinosaur and compete against human players. It’s a unique take on a competitive game. The game has a beautiful environment, from lush jungle to snowy hills. There are four game modes with 13 maps. Game modes include traditional deathmatch, get to the chopper, survival, and feeble modes. Each mode has its unique setting. The survival mode has four players against an increasing number of dinosaurs, which gets intense. Feeble mode allows you to roam around maps as a dinosaur and get to the chopper is a checkpoint-based game. As the game is more focused on dinosaurs, each has its ability to take advantage during combat. Raptors are small but fast, and Pterodactyl can pick enemies and drop them from height, while Trex is a tank that can take hits and swallow enemies whole. Gather your friends and test your dinosaur bond in the competitive game of Primal Carnage Extinction
Horizon Zero Dawn
You might argue Horizon zero dawn is not a dinosaur game but have you seen futuristic dinosaurs with mechanical bodies like that of Horizon zero dawn? This game gives a complete revamp to dinosaur aesthetics, although they are not historically accurate. It’s a different world set on a different dimension. Horizon zero dawn has crafted a perfect replication of dinosaurs into mechanical beasts with wild attributes. Encountering them will almost feel like a real wild creature except without flesh and bones. Also, the hardest machine to defeat is the robotic version of T-Rex called Thunderjaw.
