The Isle Reviews

Downloaded the game, and it's unplayable. No servers load and can't host my own server. Constant black screen with sound effects, but no game play ever loads. Don't waste your money because you don't get anything for it.

There's nothing to do in the game. There's never any AI to find anywhere. It's hard to find players. It's an empty world where you can run around as a dinosaur until you starve to death.

The game looks cool. Unfortunately it's one of those game with really terrible server support. Also the dino's I was interested in playing are: "The playables you listed are all Sandbox dinosaurs, they used to be playable in the progression gamemode, before that gamemode was scrapped for Survival. The sandbox dinos are all the playables that were never added to the survival gamemode before legacy was abandoned for Evrima. So they're normally not available in survival" (<--From a Reddit post a yr ago) So the game had content, but it's no longer completely playable because the developers acting ADHD with their product can keep repackaging it? ..with LESS content?... Yeah, I'm usually patient with games and their developers but ..I'll take my money back for now on this one.

I started playing this game a couple of months ago, and haven't stopped since. It tickles every part of my brain, and also scares the everloving shit out of me. 10/10

Game devs never cared, still don't. Progress is incredibly slow. It literally takes years for significant changes to come. By this rate the game will still be in early access in 2030, no exaggeration. On top of this, minor changes, like bug fixes and balance change almost never come, when they do they are poorly implemented, it seems like the devs never actually played the game. No update has managed to solve this buggy mess, which is ironic because we were all told that switching from legacy to envirma would incur fewer bugs and allow for faster and more advanced changes. Essentially none of what was promised was ever delivered upon, shame as is one of only a few games in its genre. Overall 3.5/10, buy if you want to play in the far and distant future of the game that was promised YEARS ago.

this game was so good perfect but they removed chosing your spawn which i kinda get but its a pain to play with friends and there is no new content but its still good game

SECOND EDIT: This has to be the most ridiculous review ever, there is so much to love about the game but it feels very early access for how long they have been working on it. Finally found a dino I love to play and have been sticking with that until they fix everything. It really is a fun game just so much needs worked on it really is a gamble buying it now. I've played enough hours, clearly enjoying it but it really does need some like objectives or something other than eat, drink, don't fall off a cliff. If you like those things buy the game, otherwise I'd wait. EDIT: What in the world is the fall damage in this game? There doesn't seem to be any consistency at all. Like I just spent 3 hours getting a dino to 95% growth and barely set foot off of a MILD slop, not a cliff, not a drop off, just a minor incline that was not even the height of my dino and went from being 100% health, perfect diet, water full, 0 injuries vibing having fun to completely deceased after not even a millisecond of being slightly airborne going down the worlds most manageable incline that you can casually walk up. I've updated to not recommended because this game has so much work to be done before it is playable. FIX YOUR SERVERS This gets a thumbs up because it's cash money getting to be a dino. BUT there was a 30 minute wait just to get into a server, and then I got kicked from the server due to me being glitched into a rock. So now I'm sitting for another 30 minutes waiting to rejoin my friends almost back in number 5 in line ONLY TO BE RANDOMLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE QUEUE AND RIGHT BACK TO THE BACK OF THE LINE. I've been waiting an hour just to rejoin my friends and now it's been so long everyone is going to bed and I've just spent my night chilling in a queue. Fix it. More servers. I just want to be a dino with my pals :(

I think it is a very unforgiving and complex game. Developers are constantly making it harder, and making it more buggy with each update. That being said though, it is such a well made game. The amount of love each dinosaur has gotten and the great improvement to evrima from legacy is insane. Even with all the bugs and the issue with hackers and mixpackers roaming the plains, i will always recommend this game to other people. I love it.

download game play legacy join chinese server instantly grow notice good fps realise evrima is a version for game go on evrima find a nice server play as herrera spawn at swamp die of food spawn south plains find other herreras they kill you spawn again find food find other herreras you have a group go for water croc eat you and you die 10/10 game 100% reccommend

I've played 100+ hours of this game, it was fun at first but I've determined a few things that turned me away and made me lose interest; - Development is INCREDIBLY SLOW, practically a crawl and this game has been in development for 9 YEARS. Legacy was scrapped in favor of Evrima which had things start all over again, it feels like the Devs don't really know what they want to do. - The map is too large with too little players to support it. There are mountains separating you from others and it is just so expansive, the most you can do is wander around finding nothing, not even AI before you starve to death before you've even encountered anyone or anything. This was my biggest gripe. Finding NOTHING. NO ONE. And starving because there is no AI. Migration patterns do not help as they're supposed to with solving the lack of interaction, at least for me, personally. - That being said, there's a lack of new player support. Most people fresh to the game just get dumped into it with little instruction of the mechanics of the game or what anything means - they're left to find out on their own and do it the hard way. For me, I just resorted to looking at keybinds and even then it still didn't tell me everything there was to the game. As it stands right now, I can't play this game with any confidence in its current development. I have no fun in playing it, but I'm sure others will and /are/ having fun because they make the most of what they have. Dino lovers, we deserve better.
