Ancestors: Humankind Odyssey looks great, but it's not out until 2020 so doesn't fit on this list. Maneater is probably out this year but we still haven't seen much since their move to Epic store exclusive.
Gonna say it, There are not enough modern games where you play as a legit, well made, diverse animal, and it makes me mildly upset I can't make games to do it myself
I totally agree. Sometimes I am up at night, saying to myself, "Humanity can create VR sets, Fidget Spinners, Slime, and other forms of entertainment. So why can't someone create an amazing animal game for us?!"
Wolf Quest 3 NEEDS to be on here. They are redoing the old game and the new one looks absolutely stunning! They have a channel that documents their progress.
ZoeBlast 2103 sorry. The game was built for PCs, and recently phones. But I’m not sure how the newest version will do on a phone. Maybe in the future, when the whole game is finished, the developers will make it on PS4! That would be awesome.
@@East9211 Lets say it can easily be one of top realistic ANIMAL games, and I have only ever seen good animal models and AI (especially elk and deer) from the Hunter COTW...maybe some of the Farcry games..but overall very impressed.
Yup, and bait balls are the perfect opportunity for dolphins, sharks, birds, and seals to feed on small fish such as herring and sardines...until a big whale suddenly barges in and greedily eats a lot of fish.
@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 Exactly! Although almost every predator will exploit one another. It all depends on who gets there first, and it's all about survival of the fittest.
Bestinslot I have been a supporter of the channel for 5 years since I was 6 and I love every single video you upload I just wanted to say keep up the good work I don’t know what I’d do without you
You forgot to mention that the animals in beyond blue are going to be 100% realistic and the way they are in real life or anything about how they worked with the BBC and you can unlock unused footage for blue planet 2 and beyond blue looks the best
I JUST finished playing Lost Ember. one of the most BEAUTIFUL games ever. It has such an enchanting story and the ending is the most heart squeezing one, made me shed a few tears. REALLY recommend Lost Ember for players!! Probably one of the first games that i'd ever rate 10/10
I adored Zoo Tycoon 2 as a kid so when I heard about Planet Zoo I was SO excited and literally started bouncing in my seat in anticipation. But dang, I didn't realize there were more awesome animals games coming out! So much to look forward to! Thanks for letting us all know! (I already put several of them on my wishlist. XD)
DUUUUDE I've seen at least two of these, but the rest are so pleasantly new and everything looks beautiful ! As an animal lover, i cant wait for these!!
There's a game called "Vulpine" coming out this year that's an RPG about being a fox or other animal. There's another one called "Home Free" about being a stray dog in a city but the release date is unconfirmed.
Thank you so much for this video. You picked games that really stood out to me and made feel excited again about animal games. I love, love, love animals and we’ve really been lacking fantastic animal games. I feel good about the ones you’ve talked about. Thank you!
Meadow, that Shelter styled MMO thing... Was absolutely enjoyable. There was nothing quite like running with a herd of deer. It was a weird feeling of "oneness" with the others.
"Realistic behaviors" In the clip he says this it shows sleeper sharks at the surface interacting with a bait ball....they live at the bottom of the ocean
The would more likely hunt like the one in 4:54 or scavenge carrion, but yes, the ones attacking the bait ball should probably have been animated gliding slowly to the shoal, taking a fish with a quick lunge, swimming away, then repeating
You forgot "Ancestors", or whatever it is called. It's a game where you play as a monkey and you have to lead or stay with your clan to survive. You descover new places and can pick up other monkeys in need. That way you will be able to expand your clan and eventually evolve into another species. All the way till you evolve to a human i guess.
All of these look so good! I think I'm most excited about Away, it seems like it's going to be a roller coaster. Beyond Blue looks really good, but just seeing the trailer was scaring me.
I wish there were more modern and realistic games like these, they just show you the wonders of nature and teach you to help it, something we should all do.
Hey BIS, I want to say how awesome it is that you are branching into other games. When you are thinking of what to do next in JWE, could you maybe do a complete play through of the game again? Like a new game, where you are going to have to unlock everything. I think watching you play through while knowing what to do could be really cool. ❤️
Planet Zoo is defiantly what I’m most excited for because I love zoo tycoon and zoo games are so neglected I’m so excited for this game to come I can’t wait. I also am excited for shelter 3 because oh my feels elephants are such interesting creatures to choose as a main character I love it. I will be on the lookout for both games when they do both realest officially. Love you BestinSlot keep up the great work.
I’m actually surprised WolfQuest 3: Anniversary Edition is not on this list. It will go into early access this year (no date) and is such a MASSIVE improvement on the older game (and the current 2.7 version) it’s staggering. I highly recommend going to the WolfQuest TH-cam channel and checking out some of their dev vlogs. I’m pretty sure WQ3 will be one of the best animal sim games out there.
I know it's a bit late in this, but if you haven't checked it out, Spirit of the North looks like an incredible game with a fox as the main character exploring an open world. The trailer's out now and I'm pretty sure it's coming out in a month or two for the PS4.
Not complaining, and i do like the looks of these, but i think one game that deserves a place on this list is Wolf Quest 3. Quite possibly the most realistic wolf simulation game ever developed in this day and age. I think you should have put that one on here, but hey, its okay if you didnt find it. They do have a yt channel where they give weekly updates, so there's plenty to see. I recommend checking it out if you get the chance. Just search wolfquest, and you'll find their channel. They have a trailer as well as their dev blogs. The game has been under development for around two years now, and will be released on Steam.
I have a pet sugar glider, so I'd like to see what her life would of been in the wild. Sounds awesome! *(even though some things in the are a bit unrealistic)*
WolfQuest 3 is revolutionary. Its one of the largest most detailed updates I've ever seen. Its going to be completely different than the current game in a very good way. They have been working on it for.. 3 years i think? Its a very naturalistic game playing as a wolf in the great Yellowstone National Park.
The game WolfQuest is based in northern Yellowstone. The devs are working on a new version of the game, Anniversary Edition, and Early Access is coming out for PC/Mac on July 25. ^-^ I suggest checking out their TH-cam channel and see the progress they're making on development. They upload every week on Thursdays!
Also, would like to see an option for the player character to interact with their animals in Planet Zoo with these actions: Feeding (requires feeding stations) Bathing (with water or mud) Training (requires toys and treats as rewards) Socialization Comfort for sad or angry animals Healing for sick animals
Sugar gliders are so freaking cute! Pretty sure they're natives to Madagascar, but I could be wrong. Either way, that's definitely one game I'm looking forward to. I'm also looking forward to The Lost Ember, that looks like an exciting RPG game as well.
I want to see an open ocean game where you can play as many Whales and Sharks, Not fighting humans. But just being animals. Orca, (Humpback, Blue, Fin, Grey, and many more) Whales, (Bottlenose, Maui, Hector, Common, Toothed, and many more) Dolphins, and all the famous Sharks. Where you can hunt, travel, play and survive.
If people can make a game about dinosaurs and pull it off even though it's still in development (the isle) then why can't we have a similar game but with animals, magnificent creatures that we still can see, interact, and study today
I just need a realistic animal game where the protagonist is a fox or a game like the isle except it's like forest animals (wolf, bear, deers, rabbits, foxex, etc). That would be awesome.
Ancestors: Humankind Odyssey looks great, but it's not out until 2020 so doesn't fit on this list. Maneater is probably out this year but we still haven't seen much since their move to Epic store exclusive.
:o
BestInSlot apparently it is out on August 27 for PC and in December for Console. Not sure bout the big gap but hey ho. Anyway ur fab. Keep it up!!
Indominus Rex which one? Humankind odyssey or maneater?
It says December 2019 what do you mean
Gordy G humankind odyssey
Gonna say it, There are not enough modern games where you play as a legit, well made, diverse animal, and it makes me mildly upset I can't make games to do it myself
Same
same dude.
wolf quest is the only one i can really think of, and Wolf Quest 3 is gonna be amazong
Yeah I get tired of playing as a person sometimes
Turtle Loving Guy take a course and become a video game designer?
We need more good quality animal games in my opinion
Agreed
If u just look at Red dead R 2 u will wish that we could control the animals in different title .
Lost ember looks good though! And away
I totally agree. Sometimes I am up at night, saying to myself, "Humanity can create VR sets, Fidget Spinners, Slime, and other forms of entertainment. So why can't someone create an amazing animal game for us?!"
Wolf Quest 3.
Wolf Quest 3 NEEDS to be on here. They are redoing the old game and the new one looks absolutely stunning! They have a channel that documents their progress.
Stephani Brown Do u know if it will be able for PS4? Ive only seen WQ games on PC
ZoeBlast 2103 sorry. The game was built for PCs, and recently phones. But I’m not sure how the newest version will do on a phone. Maybe in the future, when the whole game is finished, the developers will make it on PS4! That would be awesome.
Stephani Brown Yeah, i hope so, since my parents wont let me download any game on my PC, idk why
wolf quest or wolf quest anniversary edition?
Forgot Wolf Quest 3. Its a major update to the previous game with very realistic features like rogue male elk coming to fight for the herd.
Blue Hunter agreed, it should be on the list for being, or will be, the most realistic wolf game of our time
@@East9211 Lets say it can easily be one of top realistic ANIMAL games, and I have only ever seen good animal models and AI (especially elk and deer) from the Hunter COTW...maybe some of the Farcry games..but overall very impressed.
I’m so glad someone has mentioned my childhood game, I was a little disappointed it wasn’t on the list. Get the crowd going! Woo!
I was about to make a comment about wq 3 myself
Yeah I watched this to wait for thay
I really like the way you are branching out to other games, your expansive content is something i enjoy watching
The official term for "fish tornado" is bait ball, if that helps.
I cringed when he mentioned 'Fish Tornado'. But I'm guessing he's not the only one who calls them that.
Yup, and bait balls are the perfect opportunity for dolphins, sharks, birds, and seals to feed on small fish such as herring and sardines...until a big whale suddenly barges in and greedily eats a lot of fish.
@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 Exactly! Although almost every predator will exploit one another. It all depends on who gets there first, and it's all about survival of the fittest.
You're a bait ball. ✗
✘ Just kidding!
Thanks to Planet Earth and other BBC documentaries for teaching me that.
I can't handle another Shelter game after Paws. That game broke me.
The Red Raptor what game is that on
@@courtneyperez6174 I think it's PC only on steam. Not 100% sure
@@theredraptor6537 Nope, Switch too
That game was heartbreaking
Bestinslot I have been a supporter of the channel for 5 years since I was 6 and I love every single video you upload I just wanted to say keep up the good work I don’t know what I’d do without you
You forgot wolf quest 3!,its coming soon and it looks awesome!
more like an update to a game
@@jakeosiris3971 no the creaters built it from the ground up so its a diffrent game not an update
You're a Wolf Quest 3.
Just kidding.
@@jakeosiris3971 not just any update. They literally rebuilt the entire game from the ground up.
YES

Beyond Blue looks enchanting and terrifying at the same time.
There is also Wolfquest 3.
Omgg ur right! Bestinslot HAS to give it a shot when it comes out!
I’m VERY excited for a game called “Wolf Quest 3”
Shelter 3 is an upcoming thing? Omg, that's so exciting 8D I love those games
Amanda Egeskov Hald I CANT WAIT FOR SHELTER 3
Tigers live in Africa 😂
Omg same! I adore shelter 1 and 2
It honestly looks like Asian elephants to me, which would make sense with the tiger
@@catnipplesacks7102 Oh so it takes place in Asia. Pretty cool!
I’ve been waiting for Lost Ember!
It looks so amazing
Flare The Wolf ikr
It’s still not out, there’s no news of it coming out and I can’t find it anywhere
Came out today, such a good game so far 😊
@@hfcxgx7431 t's on steam now if you're still looking for it :)
You forgot WolfQuest 3 Anniversary edition it looks incredible!
Wolf Quest 3 is coming out in 2019.
You're a Wolf Quest 3!
Just kidding.
@@PandemoniumZ-367 haaa ha?
Rampaging Dakotaraptor was that supposed to be funny..?
really?
Already?! Didn’t Wolf Quest 2 just come out?
Y’all remember the hype for JWE before it was released? Ahh good times.
Endless Ocean is genuinely one of my favorite games of all time, so many childhood memories! If we can get a true spiritual successor.... !!!
I'm excited for all of them! So, SO excited! Thanks for bringing them to our attention, BIS~
Play-through of all of them?!?
I adored Zoo Tycoon 2 as a kid so when I heard about Planet Zoo I was SO excited and literally started bouncing in my seat in anticipation. But dang, I didn't realize there were more awesome animals games coming out! So much to look forward to! Thanks for letting us all know! (I already put several of them on my wishlist. XD)
"Control every animal you see, different ones allow you to do different things" so it's Silicone Valley!
And I thought WolfQuest was the only good one. (It is more realistic tho)
Haven’t finished watching but I think wolf quest should be a part
Lost ember is probably the best one in the list of 2019
I wanna play a game where you play as those badass monsters and fight those warriors like monster hunter but reversed
I hope you plan on playing some of these! They look amazing.
I am so excited to see all of these great animal games when they come out.
You should look into Spirit of the North as well! It's a game taking place behind a fox, and a beautiful landscape.
All seem very unique... apart from the obvious planet zoo I’m most excited for lost ember
DUUUUDE I've seen at least two of these, but the rest are so pleasantly new and everything looks beautiful !
As an animal lover, i cant wait for these!!
These should all be Top 1. Like damn these games look amazing!
Na ancestors humankind odyssey

BESTINSLOT! I've been trying to branch out in the kind of games that I play, so thank you for taking the time to make this video. Much love.
Wolf Quest 3 should be here XD
“Fish tornadoes” do you mean... bait balls?
YOURE A BAIT BALL!
Just kidding! 😂
Good Lord.
Planet Zoo looks like its gonna be such a great game already, cannot wait till it's release!
shelter 3 yes!!!!!!!!!!!!! finally i have waited so long its great thats why thats the one im most excited
Meadow, that Shelter styled MMO thing... Was absolutely enjoyable. There was nothing quite like running with a herd of deer. It was a weird feeling of "oneness" with the others.
You forgot about *ANCESTORS: THE HUMANKIND ODISSEY* , it's amazing!
"Realistic behaviors"
In the clip he says this it shows sleeper sharks at the surface interacting with a bait ball....they live at the bottom of the ocean
Attichan The Skyentist Those aren’t sleeper sharks. They aren’t real animals. The game is about a diver discovering a new ocean.
@@lincolnb2244 plot twist! The morphology of those sharks are still for slow moving, deep dwelling, low energy life style. They aren't made for it.
The would more likely hunt like the one in 4:54 or scavenge carrion, but yes, the ones attacking the bait ball should probably have been animated gliding slowly to the shoal, taking a fish with a quick lunge, swimming away, then repeating
Endless ocean brought back some good memories. We need a fresh game like that
I still play those from time to time. I've never found one that quite fills its shoes. It's so unique.
You forgot "Ancestors", or whatever it is called. It's a game where you play as a monkey and you have to lead or stay with your clan to survive. You descover new places and can pick up other monkeys in need. That way you will be able to expand your clan and eventually evolve into another species.

"African plains" "Predators like tigers" something doesn't add up
Tigers in Africa..... Something is wrong..
There are tigers in Africa!
@@countryhumanscomicdubsanda1889 No.
CountryHumans Comic Dubs and Animations no there isn't. Tigers live in India, is there lions in India? Yes. Tigers in Africa? No.
Tigers only lives in asia and europa
I wish there were more modern and realistic games like these, they just show you the wonders of nature and teach you to help it, something we should all do.
Don't forget Feral!!

Lol I got an ad for Planet Zoo before this. So excited for it!
Beyond Blue looks really amazing, might pick this up if my pc can run it.
Edit: waiting for Wolf Quest 3.

WolfQuest 3 is looking sweet tho...
wolfquest 3.0 maybe?
Oh shoot, I remember finding out about Lost Ember from a post on Tumblr a good long while ago, excited to see it finally coming out soon!
David Attenborough not richard, thats his brother who was jurrasic park guy.

I have not heard of beyond blue but I’m so glad I have now!!
The thumbnail looks absolutely beautiful...
I play the game called everything where you can be literally every discovered thing in the universe
I played endless ocean 1 and 2 on my Wii when that was still a thing. What amazing experiences.
I got a Planet Zoo ad before the video started.
How ironic.
Same 😂
if Planet Zoo starts with 50....imagine the Expansion-Packs or Mods
Importing Jurassic world dinosaurs would be awesome
@@Mohammadkwt I hope they will be accurate, because....Planet Zoo is pretty animal-accurate game
Omg shelter 3! The 2 part was really emotional and awesome 8 cant wait

For those that have been wildlife watching in like Yellowstone, I want a game like that

I suggest checking out their TH-cam channel and see the progress they're making on development. They upload every week on Thursdays!
Branching out to animal games is a great idea, especially because many of them will probably have a dinosaur DLC
Bis you should go and check out the prehistoric predators event at Chester Zoo. I don't know if you still live near the zoo but you'd love it!
I used to live nearby (and visit) Chester Zoo quite a lot actually, but unfortunately I've moved pretty far away since then.
A fish tornado is usually called a shoal or a bait ball cause it’s mostly made up of bait fish that others feed on.
Fish tornadoes are also called Bait Balls
Lost Ember reminds me of Okami (which I think BiS should play in his SoliVagrant channel).
Also, would like to see an option for the player character to interact with their animals in Planet Zoo with these actions:
Feeding (requires feeding stations)
Bathing (with water or mud)
Training (requires toys and treats as rewards)
Socialization
Comfort for sad or angry animals
Healing for sick animals
Sugar gliders are so freaking cute! Pretty sure they're natives to Madagascar, but I could be wrong. Either way, that's definitely one game I'm looking forward to. I'm also looking forward to The Lost Ember, that looks like an exciting RPG game as well.
They're natives to Australia.
@@nicholaslienandjaja1815 Ah okay. I always get sugar gliders mixed up with the lemurs of Madagascar for whatever reason.
Cant wait for these als love your channel
I'm so excited for Away, glad you covered it Bestinslot
I am waiting a really long time... for lost Ember
Btw actually octopi is correct as well these days. Octopodes is the original but both are accepted
that "mole with a shell" is a pink fairy armadillo. They can escape from predators by burying themselves within seconds.
Omg I loved endless ocean 1 played it for years can't wait for the third one on this list to come out :)
Dont forget Bee Simulator! :D
Among trees looks interesting
I want to see an open ocean game where you can play as many Whales and Sharks, Not fighting humans. But just being animals. Orca, (Humpback, Blue, Fin, Grey, and many more) Whales, (Bottlenose, Maui, Hector, Common, Toothed, and many more) Dolphins, and all the famous Sharks. Where you can hunt, travel, play and survive.

Yesss I can't wait for shelter 3!
I love all the games on this list lmao
And silly bis that’s not a mole it’s oBviOusly a pink fairy armadillo
I just need a realistic animal game where the protagonist is a fox or a game like the isle except it's like forest animals (wolf, bear, deers, rabbits, foxex, etc). That would be awesome.
All of them look awesome to play when they come out
