By Blake WilcoxDinotica splits your time between two distinct environments: your home base and the outer world of Dinotica. Your home base acts as a hub for crafting, resource management, and preparing for adventures, while Dinotica is where the actual exploration happens. A land filled with dinosaurs, enemies, mysteries and loot. There’s a good balance between building and maintaining your base and venturing into the unknown. ...the downside is that the system is a little too basic. Crafting often comes down to just gathering the right number of raw materials – need fibre? Collect x amount and you’re set. While functional, it feels like the game could have benefited from an extra layer of resource management or complexity. Like requiring players to spin fibre into rope or string before using it for some recipes. It’s enjoyable for what it is, but players who love deep crafting systems may find it a bit barebones.
