To further clarify, the animals are limited to just movement, eating, drinking, sleeping, vocalizing and defecating. While I already mentioned that the animal AI is somewhat basic, that also extends to the visitors, meaning that everything you build is pretty much just for show and anyone hoping to recreate scenes from Jurassic Park are gonna be disappointed.
There's supposed to be food management in the coming update, but again, that's still just about it. For now, all you can do is try to set up an enclosure to match up to your animals' needs, clean up after them and that's it. For starters, there's a serious lack of management. Finally, Nigel Marven is a treasure and having him as a character ingame was a good move.Īs for the cons, well, there's a number of things to take into account. If you know what you're doing, you could end up creating beautiful buildings, enclosures and parks in general. There *is* a building system akin to Planet Zoo in place, but it's more refined in that A, these modular pieces are actually scaleable, which makes all the difference, and B, instead of having variants or a single piece as a separate entity, you can simply configure what material it composes of in the UI, making it much easier to access. They also don't limitations in the form or erratic borders running along a mountainside or coast, which is a plus. You have three maps you're working with, one per biome, and they are genuinely massive.
Each animal comes with an average of 3 distinct skins that can, depending on taxa, represent a distinct species with the genus, offering their own set of needs unlike their cousins.
While their AI is basic, they're very well-designed and posses surprisingly lifelike animations fitting for behemoths of their size. You have a roster of 23 animals consisting of dinosaurs and Ice Age mammals (Mammoth, Sabertooth, Woolly Rhino), offering a basic, but promising amount of variety. Starting with the pros, the visuals are great if you have a strong enough computer, to the point where you can almost see each individual scale on a hadrosaur's flank if you zoom in close enough. Long story proper, PK has a lot of potential going for it, but it has too few mechanics to justify its price as is. Long story short, even in Early Access, I think Prehistoric Kingdom released too early for its own good.
