Is this game worth the money?

[Shin]

Hello everyone.
I've always wanted to try this game but lately I see a LOT of comments that people are waiting to join some server like 2 hours or even more... So here's my question - Is this game worth the money and is it really fun? Do I really have to wait 2 hours to join some servers? Don't want to give my money for something that I would not even have a chance to try...
Thanks for any help and hope you have a nice day

The servers they are referring to are the beta “Stress Test” servers. There’s over 10 servers with 110-120 player limits showcasing the island updates as well as the Ptera and Deino to make use of the flight and swimming mechanics. These servers have been ironing out latency issues and are being used to both have players look for any potential bugs as well as push the servers to their limits.

The Stress Test began on Saturday and was slated to go on for 1-2 weeks. After the tests are done the official Update 3 will be released. I suggest waiting until the update as purchasing now will most likely have you wasting some of your allotted “2 hour refund” just trying to get into the test server, in case you aren’t interested.

Personal opinion though, yes, it’s very much worth the price and you’ll be getting your moneys worth. You can see various impressions of the beta on Google. Long-time players like Gaming Beaver are a good reference as you get the reaction from someone already familiar with The Isle.

Personally I would wait until it is discounted. The updates are incredibly slow, and at the moment it's not worth the money. There is so much less content in this game than other like it, such as Beasts of Bermuda, or Path of Titans.

Oh boy, you’re definitely gonna want to check out BoB and PoT reviews outside this forum for yourself if you want an honest opinion in this regard. I’m not gonna tell you they’re trash just because this isn’t their forum, but strap yourself in for the anime that is BoB and the “very much a mobile game” that is PoT.

If you want absurd stats and wacky abilities with all the colors of the neon rainbow, try BoB. If you want a half-functional product with stiff or unnatural movement, a rudimentary combat system, no sense of progression outside a singular quest shared by pretty much every dino to unlock skins you’ll probably never use and no risk or loss due to all dinos plopping in as adults, try PoT.

I hope “uncanny valley” woodlands with faded shades of brown and green don’t make you weirdly nauseated like it did me or I’d say not to even look at PoT. I have no idea why it actually makes me sick to look at that map.

You're not being fair to PoT. They have acorns!

I can’t tell if you’re serious, but if you are that’s hilarious. Does it give them a default color or just turn them all albino?

He's serious, and it makes them more plain colors. I hate that idea that you can just turn off something like that, everyone should see the same thing in my opinion.

There are several branches of the game. The one that is taking people a while to get into is a stress test branch. Not the main one.

For me personally I enjoy the game and am totally fine and patient enough to wait for updates.
What is there is very enjoyable and out of all the dinosaur games I've played it's the one I can spend the most time on/come back to.
Graphically it's the best I've played and the new mechanics are nice to use.

However, it is not finished. If you don't like testing out unfinished games, or ones with bugs present then I'd not get it. The updates aren't particularly regular, but they've been pretty consistent.

no imo they should have just left the game at the progression setup times when it used to be fun, add new dinos here and then and leave it alone. They get kinky with redoing stuff over and over and never completing it. My hours came from that era mostly I probably dont have 1 hour plus collectively from Evrima, it's just been downhill since

Progression was fun?
