I actually had fun with the later half of the game, playing checkpoints over and over to try out different playstyles and weapons on the human enemies.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

Although the game makes a terrible first impression with the first dino encounter being a stealth segment, it gets a lot more manageable once you make your way past that point: with the amount of different resources thrown at you, you'll have to do a bit of inventory space work and exploration is greatly encouraged, which is always a good thing.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

If you want the best experience for the least amount of money I just recommend buying the 2nd Fossilfuel game and playing that one through to see if you enjoy it, because it is basically a better version of the first one with better graphics, performance, and flow, as well as different dinos and a different story, after that then play this one. 9/10 recommend this game!
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.

The good: Fun campaign with a variety of different weapons you can use.
Audio

The game is gorgeous and the sound design is stellar, the dinosaurs look great, the weapons feel good to us...
