Is Paleo Pines worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who enjoy farming games with dinosaur companions that can help with ranch work
- Exploration fans who want to search for creatures and uncover an island's history
- Players who like customizing a home base and building friendships with local characters
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat-focused gameplay may hit a wall in a loop centered on farming, befriending dinosaurs, and quests.
- Players who want a tightly directed, fast-paced story may find the day-by-day mix of ranch work and island exploration too leisurely.
- Players looking for survival crafting or shelter construction may find the ranch-and-farming focus does not match that scope.
Our take on Paleo Pines
Players who want combat may bounce off when the main loop turns to tending crops, befriending dinosaurs, and helping villagers. Those expecting a linear quest may also stall at the open-ended ranch setup, where decorating, farming, and exploring share the day.
What is Paleo Pines?
Paleo Pines combines ranch building, farming, exploration, and quests on an island where people and dinosaurs live together.
Travel with Lucky, a parasaurolophus, to search for others of her kind and uncover the island’s history. Find dinosaurs in the wild, mimic their calls with a flute, offer treats, and build pens suited to their needs. Trusted dinosaurs can assist with farm work, with each having a particular farming skill. Grow crops by hand and match soil and season, then trade produce with townsfolk. Explore different island areas for items and dinosaurs, meet local characters, complete quests, and open new areas. Ranches can be arranged and decorated in different styles, while character appearance and clothing can also be customized.
