This strange new PlayStation VR game lets you build your very own Wild West town in VR… and then fill it with dinosaurs.
We think everyone can agree that the most serious issue facing video games today is that almost none of them have any dinosaurs in them. The fact that Horizon Zero Dawn features robot dinosaurs does count for double points, but it just isn’t enough. Having cowboys and dinosaurs in the same game also gets a combo bonus, but it’s all for nothing if the game isn’t any good. And sadly Dino Frontier has a lot of problems.
No matter what way you look at it Dino Frontier is a weird idea. It’s essentially a city builder, somewhere between Theme Park and The Settlers, but with two major gimmicks. The first is that it’s set in a world where dinosaurs inhabit the earth side-by-side with humans, and the second is that it only works in VR. It also requires two PlayStation Move controllers and costs £30, so that’s a pretty hefty entry barrier for anyone that ignores this review telling you it’s not worth it.
As you can imagine, Dino Frontier is not exactly a serious simulation. In fact, one of its best features is its sense of humour and the amusing dialogue your hapless settlers come out with. You play as the ‘Big Mayor’, which is to say your presence in the game world is indicated by a giant pair of hands that can pick up and move buildings, people, and dinosaurs. As well as water trees with a giant watering can or cut them down with a giant knife.
