  I have invested a lot of time into this game before writing a review. And I've come to the conclusion that I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship that I can't escape, and I just keep coming back to it for lack of anything else available... Here's what I mean. I feel like the game itself sets it up to breed toxicity and favoritism. How you may ask? I think it all stems from having an unlimited growth cap. Everyone is always trying to become the "bigger guy" and people will suck up to the "big guys" so that they have protection, sometimes the big bad's are just normal players who have a network around them for protection. Sometimes its admins abusing there power. This also means that when a big bad does finally get killed they try to find ways to get there dinos back by claiming rule breaks, glitches, or sucking up to admins and brown nosing till they get there big dino back. Or they rage quit and verbally abuse someone or target the ever loving hell out of them until the person is forced to stop playing on the server. Oh and then you have the servers with frickin rules longer then the US Constitution in them, and they only end up protecting carnies or the already big dinos on the server. And its laughable when you see pack limit rule because no-one follows them at all. They just set up outside discords to coordinate everyone on the map so they can claim the're not over packing. Its great getting steam rolled by these massive packs, you maybe 1.2 but your sure as hell going to feel like a juvie getting curb stomped. 9 times out of 10 you run into community's like these, you may get in and think "Hey this seems like a good community maybe it will be different this time". Boy are you fooling yourself. After you read the pages upon pages of rules, you'll finally start playing only to realize, your the only one trying to follow said rules. And you'll realize that everyone is finding and abusing every single loophole they can find. And then you'll realize again that like the other servers there is blatant admin favoritism and brown nosing going on. Where does that leave you? Yeah, the poor sod feeling like a juvie as there getting munched of by a rex who's wasted way to much of there life growing a fat, jowl flopping, waste of space. Now I am not saying every single admin or player of BOB is toxic or acts this way, and maybe there's a server out there (probably a tiny player base) that is decent. But this is a very real problem. If any of you haven't notices the very specific examples I have given, well I'll just tell you to make sure you get it. Every example I used I have either witness happen or have been the victim of it. Just recently I have stopped playing on a server where I was repeatedly verbally abused, and rule broken on. I left before I could be targeted. And to be honest I didn't go back because I feel like the moment i'm seen back in the server I feel like I'm going to be hunted down by brown noses and constantly rule broken on. And the whole server knows I can't record myself at all and therefore would have no evidence to defend myself, because witnesses even if there admins do not count. (great system guys) Please tell me how am I supposed to enjoy this game when I am constantly exposed to the pathetic side of humanity, who hide behind there keyboards and abuse others? There's a difference between some good ole' fashioned banter between rivals and then verbally abusing someone. People can just be down right cruel to one another as if we're completely forgetting that there's a very real human on the other side of that screen. Someone who could be 13 years old and still trying to figure out what it means to be kind, moral and compassionate? Have we all just given up on the notion of leading by example? It doesn't matter that this is a Dino game, the game is fake the players are very real people. Its shameful what we are willing to do to one another when we think we can hide behind our screens. I know I have digressed a lot from where I started but I just want people to know a bit of what there heading for before they spend there money on it. And if you didn't feel like reading the encyclopedia I posted i'l break it down into pros and cons Cons: -Unlimited growth. -Breeding ground for toxicity and admin abuse. -Very small number of good, fun people to play with. -Gaslighting. -Brown nosing in order to actually play. -Verbal abuse/extreme bullying. (and also never listen to admins if they claim they wouldn't be able to find the chat logs of the abuse. Its all logged they just don't care enough to make the effort to find them) -Pages of useless rules that just make admin life living hell. -Game play that encourages a crap load of afk growing. -extremely unbalance field of play. - cartoonish dinos - I could go on but my hands are freezing and I want Hot Chocolate. Pros: -Fantastic breeding mechanic. -Inherits -decent variety of Dinos to play -Good Weather variety and interaction -The single fact they have dinos for the land, sea, and sky's! Now I hate the thumbs up or down, I'll put thumbs down simply for the amount of cons, but I'm also going to give a rating on the things I find important. Rating: 1-10 (1 horrible - 10 fantastic) Community: 3 Game Mechanics: 8 Game growth: Negative 12 Growth time (1.2): 7 Dino Variety: 7 Graphics: 5 Overall Game Review: 5 Level of announce due to afk growing? off the chart. Conclusion: growth needs to be capped, yes I know there would be an uproar but seriously they'll eventually see that it was needed to actually play BoB as a functioning game. I would just like to leave everyone not feeling attacked or let down in anyway, please just remember that this is my opinion you don't have to attack me for it. You can have yours and I can have mine, we don't have to rip throats out about this, at the end of the day it is just a game. I just wish more people could be a little more empathetic to one-another.

  Beasts of Bermuda has been a hell of a ride. Over my various accounts, I have roughly 6,000 hours total in this game. I purchased this game on December 24th, 2018, and started truly focusing on the game in May of 2019. I loved the game. It was fun, colorful, and had a lot of unique creatures that no other dinosaur game could compare with, and best of all, growth took so little time that it wasn't truly difficult to actually jump into the game. Now, scroll ahead to late 2019, where growth was significantly slowed down. Personally, this is what began the downward spiral of this game. It would take up to 16 hours to get any medium sized dinosaur to 1.2 (the typical adult stage in this game), with the shortest period of time being 2 hours for the Velociraptor. While it was annoying, the smaller players could still feasibly compete with the big bois, as long as they had dedication and played smartly. Skip ahead, even further, to the dreadful 2020 Rex Update. Talent Trees were completely reworked and damage scaling received a SEVERE nerf, making it to where grinding for inherits and spending your entire life on the game is the only way to compete on servers. These changes made Inherits the key to glory. If you have good Inherits, you can beat anything, regardless of the size difference. But, at least if you killed the overpowered players, they're gone until they grind up again. Following this comes the Shrine and Resurrection system, which made the prior changes even more imbalanced. Truly, the only way to fully succeed is if you have +2s in various talent (which takes serious dedication and hours of trying and luck to acquire), as once you die, you can simply resurrect yourself to regain your lost inherits and launch straight back into the game to destroy anybody who dares rival you. Ever since this update, I haven't seen a SINGLE consistent server. Balance is off the charts, only inherits and group size defines how well you'll fare, and once a server achieves large, 2.0+ players with OP inherits; it's done for. The game is ridiculously unbalanced and addicting, and honestly, it is not worth the purchase. No server thrives for more than a month, and if it does, it'll be overrun by players with ridiculously overpowered inherits with 0 way to trump them. The game is not good for new players looking for a fun dinosaur survival experience. Back with old growth, old balancing (while crazy, it worked), and the old system where you starved the bigger you were, Beasts of Bermuda was an amazing game. Now though, it's not a game worth your time. It's a game full of chaos and unbalance, and truly, this is not the Beasts of Bermuda I grew to love. I have tons of amazing memories from this game, but continuing to play is truly just out of nostalgia from what the game used to be. It's not the fun experience it once was, and it's time for me to finally say goodbye.

  I've played this game for years and watched it grow. I've been here since everything looked like paper mache and the Utah was in the character select list in red letters but wasn't choosable. It really has come a long way but yet fallen so far. There used to be passion and hope but now it seems that the only concern here is money. Beasts of Bermuda used to be a game that strove to be better than other dino games with more content, player originality, and over all more things to do than just grow and kill. That doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Game glitches, exploits, and bugs that have existed for year still don't seem to concern the developers at all. They've claimed to fix some but only have made them worse and created new ones. Some exploits aren't even considered exploits anymore but rather normal gameplay. They favor certain dinosaurs. These dinosaurs continue to get buffed meanwhile Saichania and apato get nerfs. For those who haven't played the game Saichania and Apatosaurus are meant to be herbivore boss battles, much like rex and acro are boss battles for carnivores. Yet the developers only consider these players to be food and nothing more. Yes it has been stated in official, herbivore players are only there to be food for carnivores. Their reincarnation system was honestly a stroke of genius in theory but sadly not worth your time. I have repeatedly seen dinosaurs who are very small that don't do trials at all reincarnate and get litterally GOD, meanwhile large dinosaurs with all champion trials (meaning they actually did more than sit on their rumps and grow) reincarnate to get Dog Water. The breeding system is ruined. Taking 2.0 critters, both with synced builds and five GP from each will no longer get you a decent dinosaur. You may breed all day and all of your babies get 4+s in inherits if they are lucky to not get a negative. For players who don't understand I'll make it a bit simpler and plain to understand. If your babies don't come out well nobody will want your eggs. So no baby buff for you. Congratualations, you found the perfect mate and you are both big with Good Parent, but your babies still come out the same as if you both were small with random builds and no GP. My take on this? It is the player that does nothing that gets everything meanwhile the player that actually plays the game without cheating and as intended gets nothing. Don't even think about breeding because your babies will all be garbage. Don't play Saichania because a rex doing exploits on you is considered normal gameplay now and expect to be nerfed again. Don't play apato because it can nolonger protect it'self. (remember these are BOSS BATTLE DINOSAURS) In fact, herbivores are only to be food so don't play them at all. (wonder what carnivores are supposed to eat when the herbivore population finally realizes that developers want them to just roll over and die. Oh yes each other ^^) When a system is designed to gift the lazy and punish the players who play the game as intended the game is no longer fair (there for not fun) When a specific player base is favored the other leaves (meaning the favored then suffer soon after and guess what? LEAVE) When all players leave they take their money with them (when the money goes so does the game) This is your future Beasts of Bermuda, you can roll over and let it happen with tears and a finger pointing in the opposite direction looking for someone else to blame or you can get up and do something about it. Forgot to mention that the developers don't take well to their games being given honest and constructive criticism so I may get banned for this. If so I will be sure to save this review and put it up in other places. As well as taking it to Steam. But it doesn't have to. You could instead learn from this and take the time to improve yourselves and your game. Or don't and let things burn. Have a wonderful day everyone.

  Unless you are on a chill server, its a waste of time playing this game alone. In every single server there is a group of this sweaty, touch grass kids who don't sleep since the launch of a server just to get big in a week and literally kill every single person in game. You grow a sai for lets say 16 hours, some sweaty ass kids on huge megs or acros (they love those dinos, since they are the most broken in game) in a big pack come and kill you. That is 16 hours of wasted time, you wont get that back. Now lets say you grow for 200+ hours, and again some sweaty ass kids come and try but fail to kill you (or you kill them first), they will do everything possible to get you killed (rule break type of ways, exploits, hacks like a radar), call their friends on a different dinos to go get you. You will constantly be the targeted. Now they grow and get big and their pack gets huge. There is literally nothing you can do to them, or against them if they finally catch you, unless you got a big/huge herd, BUT THEN those sweaty ass carny players start crying that its unfair, and some servers change rules to favor those type of players. So think it through, while it may be fun in the first hour or so, its a huge time sink, and those hours you wont get back. Im done with Bermuda, it became.. actually it was always a trash game, with the most toxic and nasty players. I also want to add the carnivore side of the story in-case you think its just shitty to play on herbivore. Some servers have huge herds with crazy limits (i don't like to be part of those groups because they usually know each other very well, and for a long time too, So even if you make an attempt at trying to be friends with them they kinda shrug you off or ignore you), like 15 member limit or more and it can be like 4 apas 6 sais 6 coahs etc. (THESE RIGHT HERE are apex herbivores and in a pack they are basically untouchable). So if you would love to play some kind of carnivorous dino like Rex or Acro (alone) forget about it. The only thing you'll be doing is running from big carni clans, constantly hiding and of course you will eventually get killed once they get you. THE only plus is the devs added reincarnation mechanic which lets you basically remake your self with better stats without needing a partner and its very good (luck based, and depends on trials but still will give you a lot better inherits than thru nesting with someone). Edit: Some servers are changing to survival auto revive mode (where you dont lose dino progress) which is great. They got a few rules here and there but nothing too harsh. Now that you dont lose progress its easier to play, and you dont have to worry about the sweaty clan kids waste your precious time.

  Disclosure: I have more than one account and my hours played is higher than stated. I could talk forever about the state of play for BoB. I would consider it my favourite of the top three dino PvP survival games on the market, but that does not mean it is in any way good nor is this my recommendation to buy it. I used to really enjoy this game when permanent death existed and servers could not adjust growth rates. The gameplay loop was more defined at this point. Grow, die, repeat. Back then, combat was high-stakes and it wasn't as easy to create creatures that were incredibly over-bred (i.e. with a high amount of inherited talent points which makes one stronger than the average). I hated losing my characters permanently but part of that also brought a lot of thrill and adrenaline to the game. Aged servers would run into issues where there would be a large cohort of extremely large and powerful dinosaurs which would make gameplay impossible for new arrivals due to the aforementioned overbreeding problems. Still, if one of these large creatures either stopped playing or died, the server ecosystem would shift and keep things refreshing. The alpha t-rex dying would be big news. The break up of a keystone herd would make real gameplay changes for herbivore players. BoB attracts the type of player who grows attached to the identity of a certain dino, which I can respect, but PvPvE (survival) servers are dominated by players who are in love with their characters and do not want to see them die. They will do anything (including breaking rules, metagaming and abusing staff) to circumvent the death of a character. They will also verbally abuse you if you even so much as attack them. In a survival PvP game. I had one guy threaten to get me shot IRL for kicking him out of my herd (for being abusive in the first place). Don't bother blocking people because it doesn't work- the block falls off on logout and doesn't carry across servers. Infinite growth is an issue that the developers have been unable to fix and it is killing their game, driving away new players who get a taste of the competition and decide it is not worth the time investment. To combat this, the devs have adjusted the growth scaling; I fully support the devs' choice to tune down the strength of larger dinos in order to balance the game, and their decision worked. The playing field is much more even and newer players have a real chance to at least exist without instant domination by clans and cliques. So, what did the community do in response? Not only did they mass review bomb the store page (lol), send horrible abuse to the devs on the community discord (lol), but they have also created extreme servers to support the gameplay loop of growing big, fast and without penalty. Instant revivals after death, 2x+ growth speed, dinosaur simming but not in a chill server (where that kind of play belongs). Eventually the larger dino is still going to outplay the newcomer due to sheer size and talent point difference, and community servers have just made it as easy as possible to do so by implementing fast growth times- this is after the devs deliberately reduced growth times to try and stop these problems! Sure, the new player gets their dinosaurs revived, but what is the point when everyone else had a head start in the race? Nobody is going to want to come back to getting beaten over and over again by the same players. The community votes with their feet and the only servers with population are those with fast growth, no growth cap (i.e. infinite growth) or instant revival on death. This allows the hardcore player to devote hours of their day getting as large as possible in order to stomp on anything smaller and, let's be honest, it creates a very unwelcoming atmosphere for the newbie. I have been on multiple PvP (NOT chill) servers where players will literally leave their creatures online and GO TO BED in order to grow more. This is how bad the game has become: no gameplay loop, no risk, full reward, full AFK. Too many community servers are doing this and any that don't are either gatekept with extreme realism rules, password protected behind applications, or are just empty. I'm also going to give you a warning now that most community servers carry toxic players, bad staff, or have absolutely no understanding of the player-built ecosystem and how to manage that. Don't bother going to the official servers either, because it's WORSE there. Like, full-blown abusive chat and mismanagement. BoB is as much a survival game as it is a social game. To succeed, you HAVE to play with others. Solo play is NOT an option. You know what I think will help this game? Implement scheduled server wipes. Create a leaderboard and rewards/exclusive skins for the largest of each species; give prizes for the highest in every trial overall, or on a trial-by-trial basis by species. Give people a goal to work towards that isn't about sitting in a hole AFK growing while you go to bed. Give players customisation rewards, we already have the coahuilaceratops backer with their exclusive bionic skin. We know the code is there to do this. Remember when coah dropped? And all servers had everyone playing coah and the playing field was even and exciting? People were working hard to breed the best and playing strategically. Remember starting in a fresh new server that released, where everyone was at the same starting point and all gameplay niches were open? We can all agree that it is that point in the gameplay loop which is the most exciting and engaging. Yeah, bring that back with regular wipes (Rust, another PvP survival game, does this to great success). Forget posting suggestions like these to the official discord suggestions channel, you WILL get downvoted and laughed at. Please don't buy this game. Also, this post is in memoriam to the apatosaurus. Look how they massacred my boy.

  As much as I've played this title, I cannot recommend it. Despite how much I enjoy it's customization and unique way of play, the one thing I cannot stand is it's growth system and uninhabitable, bio-hazard playerbase which you cannot avoid. Unless you have hours upon days upon weeks upon *months* to sit idly and grow a dinosaur, this game is not for you. Many aspects are critically unbalanced as well and seem to be getting worse with updates. Sound design is also laughably poor. You can barely hear calls, footsteps, or anything that isn't a storm. Your "broadcast" call is nothing short of a small squeak, even on the biggest dinosaurs. Regarding how it's servers are, people are nothing short of narcissistic, rude, and ill-tempered. While you can't expect the highest respect from a MMO, this community is a whole wave of different, with sexually predatory, racist, and terminally online fans who will do nothing - and I mean nothing - in their lives but sit all *day* on this game and making sure you don't get as big as they do and won't have the critically needed inherited abilities to survive. If you are a student, employed, have a family, a business, or have any type of life or hobby in general, please find another game to play. No matter how nice you are or how hard you try, the community will not see you as one of theirs and you and your dinosaur will get nowhere.

  All in all I've played 5.8k hours on this game so far. Previous updates have been incredible, more freedom, more content and the direction they were going seemed great. This recent update is a huge dig at Chill servers and it absolutely shows: auto revives takeb off, no growth storm buff, no use of biomes on canvas maps, the message popping up as you come into the server (which heavily implies these old maps will be deleted in the future), food and water drain speed,all round push for everyone to play the new Titania and Gauntlet style (and there is more i'm forgetting). You will lose a big chunk of your playerbase if you continue this direction. Please listen to your members and don't force this style on everyone - allow us the freedom to run private servers as our community want them.

  one thing i really hate about almost each server is that 99.99% of it is just adults with LITERAL FAMILIES AND JOBS or little children. also, i feel like if you really want to enjoy this game in any way youll have to get to know pretty much everyone or else youll be left behind or killed all the time. another thing is that this game is nearly unplayable due to the fact that it lags so much. i have a good computer, i can run games like cyberpunk and gta perfectly but in this game i get lag spikes every like, 2 seconds. but im sure it will eventually get optimized, it is still being worked on after all. besides this and the community though, the game is really cool! i love how the dinos have a comfort and dietary system, super unique idea. unlike in other games, theres a really big selection of dinos you can play as. all of them have alot of unique skins as well. i also like how there are multiple different maps you can play on. if youre looking for a straight up realistic survival game though, i would recommend something like The isle.

  They added an update just recently that basically made the game "playable" for the first time in years. It's a game filled with an elitist attitude of being the best and biggest of any given species or climate (air, land, sea). Expect loads of toxicity and people with such pride in their dinosaurs they consider it another part of them. After those negative statements you may think, why would they recommend this game to me? Well the reason why is mainly because I know the developers for this game want a good quality product and are leaning into the direction that I believe will save this game. However I wish for everyone to please understand before buying: This game is inherently and by design a MASSIVE time sink and your spent time may often be "wasted" in the blink of an eye, grouping is almost essential and finally the game is a f*** ton of fun when you consider all of those things and decide to play and try to enjoy it where you can anyways. Good luck and may the odds, ever be in your favor!
