It doesn’t look terrible running on my PS5 through my mid-grade 4K TV it’s on par with what I would expect from a $15 game. I will admit, I never played the original game, but having perused the trailer and some screenshots across the internet, I really don’t see much of a difference visually.

I was shocked to learn that this is actually a remaster of a PC game that was remastered and released almost a decade ago, as Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter, which was originally released on PS3 and mobile devices. The same can be said for the weaponry available it’s a grind to get what amounts to essentially the same gun with a slightly different aesthetic. Not only did I have to shoot the same species of gigantic reptile that was just minding its own business 14 or more times to save up that cool grand of cash just to buy my next tag at $68 per head, but I also had to look at the same trees, rocks, and canyons while I did it.

It begins to make what would already be a slower-paced game by nature drag on more than it should. There is a decent variety of dinosaurs to hunt, but only a handful of original levels, and then even those are recycled with some minor changes, such as time of day or weather patterns. There are a lot of games on the market that like to fluff the absence of content with a grind that pushes to the player to invest more time into the game than what they reasonably should, and this is a prime example of it. I am by no means an expert on dinosaurs and their behavior, but this literally felt like shooting fish in a barrel, just on a much larger scale. This outcome only differs depending on which type of dinosaur you’re hunting, since the herbivores can’t hurt you whatsoever, and flee akin to being an elephant terrified of a mouse, while the carnivores will make a beeline at any sight or sound out of the norm. I only stopped once I ran out of ammo and was forced to extract. After the first few attempts, I was essentially dropping into the level, running around until I stumbled upon my prey, and either picked them off from a distance or ran up on them like a madman, just to see what would happen. They either fail to live up to any reasonable sort of expectation, or they are not needed, since more than a few instances placed my spawn within view of one of my targets. The game comes with a version of every token real-life hunting tool of the trade, but after the first few safaris, I found myself ignoring the bulk of them.

You begin as a rookie hunter with a bare-bones set of equipment and earn funds to purchase bigger and better tools for bagging specific targets within the world, or in my case, squirreling all my funds away to save up for the next tag so I could move beyond what I was stuck doing for the first few hours – shooting the stegosaurus, one of history’s largest cows, repeatedly for massive piles of sh*ts and the occasional giggle. That is, after you shoot an insane amount of herbivores first.

Much like any other hunting game on the market, this title skips the whole narrative thing and focuses solely on you being dropped into a random place in one of the many regions that make up the fictional planet that houses what I can only assume would be an uber expensive big game resort in the vein of Jurassic Park that allows you to hunt the largest predators in history. With this being said, I generally avoid playing hunting games, especially those that focus on trophy hunting however, since Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunt asks you to hunt extinct creatures that for the most part could rip me apart or squash me, I was willing to make an exception. I am more than willing to take down a deer if push came to shove and I needed to feed my family, but as a general rule, I am very much against hunting something that lacks the ability to defend itself. As someone who regularly eats meat but loves animals, I find myself in a really weird place when it comes to hunting.
