Summary

Dinos vs Robots is a survival adventure game that offers a visually appealing experience with its nice graphics. The game, which has a download size of 1.97GB, supports controllers and provides various graphics settings including view distance, anti-aliasing, post-processing, shadows, textures, effects, foliage, and shading.

The gameplay involves a third-person view where players scavenge for food, weapons, and materials in the game world. Crafting is a key element of the game, and a hot bar system is used to swap between items quickly. The enemies encountered are a mix of creatures, dinosaurs, and robot-looking dinosaurs.

The game features a fully open world and a quest log that rewards players with experience points (EXP). EXP earned is divided up by its grouping, so attacking and killing will give power EXP while using meds will contribute to survivor EXP. As players earn EXP and level up, they gain skill points which can be allocated to three skill trees – survivor, agility, and power. This allows players to unlock new abilities.

The game uses stamina, weapon durability, and food bar mechanics, adding a layer of strategy to gameplay. Vehicles can be driven and used to run over and kill enemies. The game encourages players to play how they want, offering good movement and combat mechanics.

However, there are some limitations. The game does not offer Steam achievements and only shows three friends even though more can join a match. There are no settings for the game, and controls cannot be rebound for either the controller or the keyboard. Enemies disappear when they die, and the car is invincible, capable of killing enemies in one hit. Some players have reported items dropping straight back out of their inventory when picking them up. The game uses a small crosshair which is needed to line up with items to pick them up. Despite these issues, Dinos vs Robots has something to it but it just needs way more content and reason to keep playing, It feels like an Early Access game and an early one of those.
