The Isle (Dinosaur Game) and Day of Dragons (Dragon Game) opinions, likes, dislikes, etc. Both look great. Which to get first suggestions.

This is my first time trying a general Steam Discussions tab that isn't the game specific so if this is the wrong thread for this, I apologize and request where would be the appropriate place to post game opinions in the future. I wanted to ask questions but I can't access discussions for game unless I bought it or just don't know how so I thought I'd try here.


I'm planning on buying both but I'd like opinions on what other people like/dislike about either to see if one is recommended. This could include cool features, whether one can be finished a lot faster to do first, so on.


Things I like about a game:
I like free roam games where you can do whatever you want. I enjoy ones where you can build up and keep your progress with bases/stats/items/etc more than games where you lose it all once you die or finish the game.
Games that don't have stats to level up or items to collect in which death is really no penalty since your new respawn doesn't need to recollect or regain stats are fine.
I don't like permadeath that deletes the whole world and all the progress in it. But is it retains the world progress (assuming you have a base or whatever) while requiring a new character is fine since I wouldn't have to start all over.
Minions/Followers are a feature I usually enjoy a great deal.

All games have (at least) one subforum that is open to all (owners and non-owners).
For "The Isle" it is the Questions and Game Information subforum here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/376210/discussions/16/
For "Day Of Dragons" it is the General Discussions subforum here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1088090/discussions/

Thank you kindly. I didn't know how to check the discussions page to games I didn't buy. After clicking your link I looked around and saw that the link to discussions is right there on the right and I just never noticed. Thank you very much. :)

I have heard the devs of the isle can be pretty toxic, just a heads up

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Professor Genki’s likeness. Good times.

I haven’t heard anything about the devs so that’s good to keep in mind, thank you.

I ended up buying both games. I played a bit of the isle but I think I played it wrong or I was just wondering in the wrong directions.

Day of Dragons I didn’t even start since I could only join high ping servers and that seemed like too much of a headache while learning the game.

Well, seems I am late for this.

I played The Isle with people on discord and the experience was fairly boring for me, we did what the game offered and it had its moments but there was very little in the sense of accomplishment.

Can't say about Day of Dragons since I haven't played it, but seems to be similar.

Definitely niche games, but The Isle is well made.

Some advice, in addition to reading reviews and the dedicated forums I also suggest using a website such as Steamcharts to view current population and trends, because why buy MP games if they are either dead or simply surviving due to the old guard and their crotchety ways and rules?

No problem. On the store page, click the "Community Hub" button up top on the right. That takes you to the game's forums, but again- some games only have one subforum open to everyone (non-owners and owners alike), so you may have to click through them to see which one gives you an open text box in a discussion. That subforum will allow you to post comments or create a new thread. Other games have all subforums open to all- it's up to the devs how it's set up.
