This game seem to tick all the boxes for me personally.
Time travel ,Dinos, Survival game... different bioms etc...

But.. one dev? and the price is so low...
The idea behind the game seem too ambitious for these facts.

Ya it seems to good to be true. I'm waiting for some reviews first.

The dev just released a similar looking game a couple of months ago.

How can he deliver a new game of this scope in so little time? (yes, I understand that they are using a lot of store-bought assets)

Is this just a reskin of the last game for a quick cash grab?

Their last 2 games have a 'Mixed' review rating.

Same here!

Only I'm looking at how things are moving in the gameplay trailer and things just aren't moving right.

Lack of polish maybe?

The reviews are coming in now.

If something sounds too good to be true it usually is.

Have you even read the reviews?
All the negative reviews just played for like 30 minutes and review bombed for some dumb reason. It's almost as if everyone bought in with the intention to try for 30 minutes and refund...

My suggestion is try the game and refund if you don't like it.

Or they found they didnt like it within that time. It doesnt take me long to figure out a game is not for me. Im not going to spend hours on it and torture myself through a game thats not too great. Play time has nothing to do with impressions. Most of the reviews state bad performance and mechanics.

Test the game for yourself. Play the demo if the developer has a demo up that stays up permanently and lasts for an hour or two, depending on how the developer wants to do it, so you don't get the full game experience, but you get the experience to test it and see if you like it.

Or buy the game, try it, and time yourself for 1 hour and 30 minutes. If you don't like it by then, refund it and leave your feedback on what you liked or hated.

However, the demo should match the full game, as I've seen some game developers who don't give a proper demo. It's just, "Oh, look, a weapon," grab it, shoot it, and demo over.

Hopefully you don't let negative reviews get to you as a developer and just focus on the game, fix bugs, listen to the community, and remember to always be respectful and polite when responding to people, or ignore all comments and just moderate the fourms and respond to questions, bugs, and feedback, and eventually you should grow and prosper.

You should remove this post you made because it seems rude and unprofessional.

Don't bother trying to give this dev advice, it gets thrown back into your face.

The more likely scenario is that this is one of those games where it only takes 30 minutes to recognize that it is a bad game.

It's not going to sell. But look on the bright-side, at least you didn't invest much time into making this game.

To be fair the Game is amazing for the 40 or so minutes i have played it. I haven't made it very far into it, Game runs well.

There are some issues don't get me wrong, but a single person is building it.

Uploaded a video of the first 40ish minutes. If there are questions please let me know, and I will do what i can to answer them.

I also go by previous works by a dev which I own one. Some minecraft clone but all of them have a trending complaint. Being a solo developer is really no excuse today. He or she tends to have great ideas but then just abandons a game to push another out that suffers from the same issues as the previous. Just lack of commitment

Have you noticed how I don't review games that are NOT a positive review score already? Those reviews are to voice my opinion, not to bring anyone down. I never negative review mixed indie titles. Not to mention that I'm sure if people would've given more time to play THIS GAME, their opinion would change.
But no developer came to any of my reviews and said this, so I'm guessing my opinion wouldn't be different on those games if I'd have played more.
