Theropods

Cubed350

A visually charming but ultimately underwhelming adventure, Theropods has a neat prehistoric setting mixed with a light sci-fi premise, as well some fine pixel art and fluid animation, but all that never delivers anything memorable. The story struggles to engross one into its world, while the simplistic or trial-and-error puzzle solving rarely provides satisfying moments of discovery. For the current asking price, there are far better point-and-clicks out there to spend three hours (max) on.

With top notch audio design and fantastic visuals the developers manage to tell a story with lots of depth and heart without using any dialog, subtitles or wall of text. Theropods is a game that demands your full attention and doesn’t disappoint you once it has it.

It’s hard not to be charmed by the solidarity of the two protagonists in Theropods and to see their efforts save a village to completion. Fans of point-and-click games that emphasize the puzzles over dialogue will appreciate the way that the game speedily moves you along, but those looking for a story beyond two strong, silent protagonists won’t have much to chew on long after the experience ends.
