My favorite part from the looks of it is the ability to collect all of the dinosaurs and different rarities! I appreciate the sense of accomplishment that comes with getting the rarest varieties and love collecting. Personally, I would prefer the art style to look more like breath of the wild / have a touch more realism and dimension since I equally love exploration, and really want to find beautiful areas and rare items while appreciating my scenery. 🤍
@@Fern-0217 fun fact I named that dinosaur “Gatorade” in the game and he was the one that left my ranch! I’ve been trying to get him back I LOVED him!!
I get that romance is a big draw for many people, myself included, but having non-romance options is so great to see. Way to often romance and marriage is one of the largest mechanics of farming sims/cozy games and it sucks for those who really arnt interested in that sort of thing at all. So I know a few people I'm going to be suggesting this game to because of this.
It looks like there's no combat or anything threatening, which is good because I've found that too many farming games tend to include some kind of combat or monsters to harass you. Sometimes I want a game that's gonna kick my ass, and I have plenty of those, but sometimes I want a game where literally nothing wants to attack me.
That was a very informative and now I’m really tempted to get it. I’m disappointed that we can’t romance anyone but the dinosaur interactions sound like a lot of fun. Thanks for such a detailed review. ❤
I'm glad that this game is focused on the dinosaurs, thats the reason I would buy this. The farm isn't that important to me to be honest, I would love if I could progress through the whole game without needing to do the farming part.
Thank you, I've actually been on the fence, mostly because money is a little tight right now and I'm looking forward to Dave the diver already BUT I'm getting this now. My love for dinos is too strong and your thoughts answered all my questions. Thank you
Those are definitely two of my bigger cons! I still don’t love the journal but after a bit I feel like the map got a lot easier to figure out! I would still LOVE a mini map though
I’ve been following the game’s development for YEARS and I’ll be buying it when I get home in a few hours. My friend has been desperate to play it too, we’ve both been so desperate for a game we can just absolutely chill out on while we talk on Xbox party chat and this is it. Cant wait!!
I am super excited about this game, it is SO cute!! I've been a dinosaur lover since i was little, so this game just makes me smile!! thank you for your review and streams of it!!! Love your content!! 💖
Im bouncing between Peyton and Bubbles rn because this has been a heck of a year for cozy farming sims and Im still on the fence about this one while being surprised by how good Harvest Moon: Winds of Anthos turned out, waiting for the switch port of My Time At Sandrock, and hyped over the announcement of Tales of the Shire
For me personally I'm only missing a couple things from paleo pines. I think that some of the large carnivores are missing purposes like t-rex and baryonyx Like being able to catch fish or track, and missing some superstar prehistoric animals like sauropods and pterosaurs
I’ve been following this game for a long time. Thank you for your review, I definitely plan on purchasing it now. I wish I had bought the lucky plushie when it was still available, maybe it’ll return someday.
I love love LOOOVE Paleo Pines so far! One con for me though is that I haven't found a way to save my progress without going all the way home. I don't think there is a way, but someone please let me know if I'm wrong! This hasn't been much of a problem for me yet, but it might become stressful when I expand to other maps and perhaps find myself lost and far away when I realize I have to close the game to be somewhere in a couple minutes!
Improve the Broken control and make the world more alive and less empty... I eventually quit playing because of this let alone the repetitiveness of the game.
It looks interesting but I don’t think I am going to play. I love how many Black characters I see! It makes it more appealing when I see people that look like me!!!!!
I'm black and at this point it's getting kinda annoying because they're trying to force diversity just to try to lure us in, I'm for diversity that's ORGANIC, not having every other race except white people. Do what you want, but if a game being appealing to you only bc there's other people in the game with the same skin tone as you then you might be getting the game for the wrong reasons. IMO
This is one of those games I like watching but will pass on. I played the demo ane it was super fun but I found replicating the dino's calls difficult. I think it would be easier if they had the button promps overlaid the colors (if that makes any sense).
Honestly I'm glad it gives you enough time to get it right. I've spent like 5 minutes trying to get a call down which is more then I'd like to say Lol. But yeah button promts is a good idea. I hope that gets added
I love dinosaurs and I've been looking for a nice farming sim... and I actually hate romancing lol I don't mind befriending characters but my god I wish Stardew Valley didn't make me feel like such an outcast during big events just because I didn't want to marry any of the NPCs.
Not go in your house! Oh dear so no house cozy crafting furnishings 😳 That says no fank yew! Crafting done by not me! No fank yew🤔 Thank you for your in-depth review and saving me time and money😁👍🏻
Im one of the many who played the demo on repeat while waiting for the full game to release I feel like if you enjoy games like Minecraft or Raft youll enjoy Paleo Pines. Its mostly because of the grindy nature of the game. Sometimes it doesnt feel as grindy when you balance it with doing story quests, befriending dinos, and farming; but if you have a day where you just do the quest board tasks it really wears you down. The only thing i can say is "dont" if you can. The game isnt difficult but it isnt easy. I think its a very fun and accessable for people of diffent ages and abilties, especially since its available on several different platforms. I hope we see a DLC that either expands the lands or ads a new biome in the future along with a few new dinosaurs and NPCs
I played the demo but I'm still conflicted on if or not to buy the full game because I already have Stardew Valley and idk if I need more farming games than that. That being said, psittacosaurus is literally my favorite dinosaur
What stops me from getting Paleo Pines is how ugly the human characters look. I wish you could play the game without ever interacting with them. They remind me of children's shows where the kids are supposed to scream answers at the screen. A little more realistic dinosaurs would also help - they look like inflatable pool toys.
I played 30 minutes, got lost on what I was supposed to do, where I was supposed to go, no idea. But it's ridiculous that running uses stamina and the mechanics feel super clunky and I hate it
I am so happy to hear there's no romance in the game. I enjoy farming sims games but really dislike romance in farming sims game. I actually like placeholder npc in the game because you can use your imagination and create your own backstory for them. I decided to hold off on Fae Farm and wait for Paleo Dinosaur review. And to see how well it runs on the Switch. I love dinosaurs so much. Too bad their no demo on the Switch.
Good thing I think like you, cuz I bought it a week ago, with birthday money before I could forget I needed to buy it and buy something else 😂. After your review, I CANT WAIT to play! The fact that it’s pre downloaded on my switch is killing me! It’s right there 😂
I've said this on reddit but I'd say wait to purchase the game. Let the devs and team roll out a dew updates because the glitches I'm having on the switch version are insane. Its a very mindless game but it's fairly grind heavy like animal crossing is for money except money..is harder to make. You loose it faster than you aquire it. If youre wondering what the glitch is currently any placed item on my farm is being duplicated over and over no matter what happens and my gates vanish into thin air :0 shocking! Yeah I've restarted the game twice and two separate save files had issues like this. I have watch her video yet but will, its a beautiful game but.. eek its issues are bad.
I was also playing the game on switch and it's so slow and broken any my god the control is awful. It's a shame since it's my type of game and it's really appealing, plus dinosaurs! 🤷
I’ve been playing this game and I find it super frustrating. There wasn’t enough how-to or tutorial type information within the game. I just keep getting frustrated cause I don’t know how to do anything and the mechanics feel clunky.
I was wondering the same thing. My almost 6 year old plays Animal Crossing and the various Lego games by himself, but I'm always looking for new things he might like. This one looks pretty solid!
I would have guessed fishing would be an option. It is very cutesy, so I wasn't expecting the player to have a cow farm to feed the meat eating dinosaurs. How are the meat eaters fed then?
I’ve been wanting to get my kid a farm sim, but was put off by the romance aspect of most farm sims. So I’m glad that this doesn’t have that. Maybe I’ll get it for the kiddo.
Got a really good computer but sadly this game is a bit laggy. I never get motion sickness but this game was insane, just 5 minutes in and I had to quit.. The characters are a bit uncanny valley and something with the colors or lighting is off. Was so hype for this game, so now I'm a bit sad..
No romance? .. . .. kinda like that, allways stresses me out when a game tries to force a relationship onto me. But, I agree there should atleast be an optional thing.
I,ll be really honest! Its a 3/10 kinda game, yes it looks cute, but it lacks depth and real creativity. You can't enter your home and customise it, can't build much at all really, very basic. Dino's are cool but could be better .. I mean at least let them breed or something. It can get boring and repetitive quite quickly because of very few things to do.. Apart from farm. Big hype, small reality.
I like it but you know what I'm a little disappointed you can't go inside your house You can only choose from three options diary go to sleep and storage
What do YOU think about Paleo Pines? 🦖
i think it is so adorable! 🦖

I got it preordered and I am so so excited to play!!! Probably my top cozy game I was looking forward to this year.
Decided to buy the game now, thanks for the awesome review.

Yeah I definitely wish more games were really good at doing both
Can you romance the dinos
@@ataridc ... this is not Hatoful Boyfriend.

I'm a simple man. If it has dinosaurs, I'm in.
Payton saying, “no romance, only dinos” had me making a face like the kombucha girl meme 😂
Omg you win best comment
That was a very informative and now I’m really tempted to get it. I’m disappointed that we can’t romance anyone but the dinosaur interactions sound like a lot of fun. Thanks for such a detailed review. ❤
Great review!! I was on the fence on whether to get this game or not, but I think I will! The dinos are just so cute and unique and I'm a dino nerd
I'm glad that this game is focused on the dinosaurs, thats the reason I would buy this. The farm isn't that important to me to be honest, I would love if I could progress through the whole game without needing to do the farming part.
Came for a game review but now need that highlighter info ✨️
Saaaame 😂✨
I don’t generally care about dinos but this looks so cute! I hope my library gets a copy.
This game gives both vibes of land before time and how to train your dragon and I’m so excited
1 days left before Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos launch...
Thank you, I've actually been on the fence, mostly because money is a little tight right now and I'm looking forward to Dave the diver already BUT I'm getting this now. My love for dinos is too strong and your thoughts answered all my questions. Thank you
My daughter wants a cozy game but i cant decide between this and faefarm
I can’t either!!! I’ve been watching videos on both lol.
I've been playing the demo, and I want to love it, but the lack of mini map and the journal thing frustrate me too much to fully enjoy it.
Those are definitely two of my bigger cons! I still don’t love the journal but after a bit I feel like the map got a lot easier to figure out! I would still LOVE a mini map though
I’ve been following the game’s development for YEARS and I’ll be buying it when I get home in a few hours. My friend has been desperate to play it too, we’ve both been so desperate for a game we can just absolutely chill out on while we talk on Xbox party chat and this is it. Cant wait!!

Wonderful review Payton. Very complete and thorough!! ❤
In Australia we are getting Paleo Pines October 3rd. So excited about it. Loving your review.

But why do I love the sloth stables hoodie in that green 😍 your merch is to die for!
I plan on putting this game on Christmas list
I’ve been following this game for a long time. Thank you for your review, I definitely plan on purchasing it now. I wish I had bought the lucky plushie when it was still available, maybe it’ll return someday.
Im getting it for my son for his bday I've kept its existence a secret because I know he'll love it

Let’s go paleo pines!!!! I’m so excited!!!!! 🙌🏻🦖🦕
I am so hyped for this game. I played the demo and loved it. I need more!!
This game is almost perfect imo. I really hope they drop a couple of updates to improve it and add missing content. (Romance, fishing, house, etc.
Improve the Broken control and make the world more alive and less empty... I eventually quit playing because of this let alone the repetitiveness of the game.
💖🦖 Great review! (It was so nice to hear that I’m not the only one who gets lost.)
It looks interesting but I don’t think I am going to play. I love how many Black characters I see! It makes it more appealing when I see people that look like me!!!!!
Yessss and all the characters are super cute!!! 👏
I'm black and at this point it's getting kinda annoying because they're trying to force diversity just to try to lure us in, I'm for diversity that's ORGANIC, not having every other race except white people.
Do what you want, but if a game being appealing to you only bc there's other people in the game with the same skin tone as you then you might be getting the game for the wrong reasons. IMO
I never thought white characters looked like me, but I think the closest one is buzz in toy story 2 for n64, and no, not movie buzz, n64 buzz.
This is one of those games I like watching but will pass on. I played the demo ane it was super fun but I found replicating the dino's calls difficult. I think it would be easier if they had the button promps overlaid the colors (if that makes any sense).
Honestly I'm glad it gives you enough time to get it right. I've spent like 5 minutes trying to get a call down which is more then I'd like to say Lol. But yeah button promts is a good idea. I hope that gets added
18:00 as someone who knows a bit about dinos i did not even think about that problem lol, but yeah i guess it can happen.
I love dinosaurs and I've been looking for a nice farming sim... and I actually hate romancing lol
I don't mind befriending characters but my god I wish Stardew Valley didn't make me feel like such an outcast during big events just because I didn't want to marry any of the NPCs.
Same this is the sim for me
Not go in your house! Oh dear so no house cozy crafting furnishings 😳 That says no fank yew! Crafting done by not me! No fank yew🤔 Thank you for your in-depth review and saving me time and money😁👍🏻
Your earrings!!! 🦖💚
I cant stop looking at the puff pals cow….. i need it!
Me playing ark constantly on the verge of a panic attack:
Why not just play ark its so "relaxing"
I can't wait to play this game, it sounds perfect for me!
Any tips for finding dreamstones?
This is so adorable! Also like your earings. 🦖 Thx for showing us such lovely games. 💖
I’m a new subscriber. Paleo Pines is the first video of yours I’ve seen and now I really want the game 🥰
These games are fun and relaxing. I’m interested in giving them a try
Im one of the many who played the demo on repeat while waiting for the full game to release

An amazing review! Definitely putting this on my Christmas list ❤️
I did 80% of Disney dream light valley so my daughter could stuff around guess I’ll do most of this game too so my son can stuff around
I am so happy to hear there's no romance in the game. I enjoy farming sims games but really dislike romance in farming sims game.

I decided to hold off on Fae Farm and wait for Paleo Dinosaur review. And to see how well it runs on the Switch. I love dinosaurs so much. Too bad their no demo on the Switch.

Good thing I think like you, cuz I bought it a week ago, with birthday money before I could forget I needed to buy it and buy something else 😂.

Who needs romance when you have a bunch of dinos
If you get a Dino can you get rid of it?
I'm still undecided what i feel and I've only played for 2 in game days
Any tips on getting motion sickness? I LOVED the demo, but couldn’t play longer than maybe 30 minutes.
Were you playing with mouse and keyboard or controller? I find it muchhhh more smooth on controller!
@@PaytonsCorner Mouse and Keyboard! I will definitely look into getting a controller!! Thank you ❤️
I just order it thanks for the cozy review
I LOVE dinosaurs so I would like to give this one a go
even tho these cozy farming games are getting so repetitive, i still enjoy moset of them
Can’t wait to play it tonight
I think I will like it. For one reason, there is no violence. I am an Animal Crossing fan from the 1st game on GameCube.
I’ve been playing this game and I find it super frustrating. There wasn’t enough how-to or tutorial type information within the game. I just keep getting frustrated cause I don’t know how to do anything and the mechanics feel clunky.
Do you think it would be a good game for a 5 year old to play by herself on the Switch?
I was wondering the same thing. My almost 6 year old plays Animal Crossing and the various Lego games by himself, but I'm always looking for new things he might like. This one looks pretty solid!
paleo pines runs **GREAT** on the rog ally
Very interesting outlook on the game. I actually like the con of no romance. It's a plus for me.
I would have guessed fishing would be an option. It is very cutesy, so I wasn't expecting the player to have a cow farm to feed the meat eating dinosaurs. How are the meat eaters fed then?
You can by carnivore food at the store! There’s no hunting of animals or anything like that
I’ve been wanting to get my kid a farm sim, but was put off by the romance aspect of most farm sims. So I’m glad that this doesn’t have that. Maybe I’ll get it for the kiddo.
Why do you weirdos say kiddo
@@sirmustardofhousemayonnais9907thank you it’s so weird. People with kids are mega annoying. I’m all for the depopulation agenda.
The game does sound interesting, but no romance is a deal-breaker for me!
If can't romance humans, allow us to romance dinosaurs.
💙💙💙
Got a really good computer but sadly this game is a bit laggy. I never get motion sickness but this game was insane, just 5 minutes in and I had to quit..
The characters are a bit uncanny valley and something with the colors or lighting is off.
Was so hype for this game, so now I'm a bit sad..
So it’s targeting a younger audience, don’t you think?
I think a younger audience could enjoy it for sure but it’s definitely complicated enough for an older audience!
I am incredibly upset that the game isn’t for Apple :(((
No romance? .. . .. kinda like that, allways stresses me out when a game tries to force a relationship onto me.
But, I agree there should atleast be an optional thing.

thanks so much for the game info. game has way too many cons than pros. probably will wait 2-3 years before the game is worth playing.
kinda weird that people want romance in this considering the characters all look like toddlers :/
You aree sooo cute.
Seems like your knowledge on dinosaurs is limited since you don't know other iconic dinos like stegosaurus and brachiosaurus lol.
I like it but you know what I'm a little disappointed you can't go inside your house You can only choose from three options diary go to sleep and storage
You're looking so fricken cute in this one 💕💕💕 LOVE the hat 🤌 I'm stoked for this game
