unlabelledView post →I really want to love this game. The character designs, the 3D models, the story, the concept are all so cute and sweet. It feels like the perfect game for me on the surface, but ultimately the issues come from what feels like a rookie development team. Maybe this is their first attempt at this sort of game, but there are so many small issues here which just make the game so hard to enjoy fully. This is going to be sort of long, and it's going to be a lot of negative feedback, but I need you,…

unlabelledView post →The camera angles make this unplayable. I really, really, REALLY love the concept of being a shopkeeper dino, but the camera angles make it so difficult. There's also the lack of options to create specific playable dinos, there not so great clothing options - they all look super weird and clunky, it feels like the tutorial goes on for ages and ages, which is not very cozy-like imo, the weird arrow keys to equip your tools, and then back to the awful camera angles - or, well, angle, since…

unlabelledView post →I've been playing this game for little over an hour. Already I've experienced 2 glitches so severe I had to restart the game. This is beyond infuriating. I want to love this game, I really do. But why is the npc pathing so bad that they got stuck TWICE? The first happened when I interacted with the sales desk too fast during the shop open phase. No options showed up for the sale, however my character was put into the haggle screen. The npc wasn't even on screen. I had to hard stop the game…

So here's what I've been playing and are fun Indie games: Potionomics, Dicefolk, Dimensionals, Amber Isle, Tavern Talk, Megaloot.

unlabelledView post →The game has so much good going for it but the bugs and performance issues gets worst the longer you play a save which has led to my save losing crafting recipes that I unlocked but couldn't craft so I got locked out of being able to complete certain dinos quest and locking me out of achievements so my 48 hour save is ♥♥♥♥♥♥

I would really like to 100% it but its SO frustrating. I don't have anyone on level 5 because its so ridiculous. Currently stepping away from this and waiting for updates. Please don't let everyone down.

unlabelledView post →Amber Isle is a charming little game about running your shop, crafting your items you sell, managing/restoring a town, and meeting cute humanoid dinosaur like creatures. (Called Paleofolk) First up, I want to speak about other recent feedback. At the time of me buying this game, the reviews were mixed, I think. (Which almost led to me not buying this gem) They reviews are better now, but I still want to point out a few points I found unjust, as they presented certain issues as vastly out of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It really pains me to leave this game a negative review, but I can't in good faith recommend that people play this. The core game is actually pretty great; it has great music, the art style is vibrant and I like the characters well enough. However, this game suffers from extreme stuttering and performance issues that unfortunately make it very difficult to recommend to someone else. I'm more than willing to come back and change my review if Ambertail ever irons out most of the performance…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You know. I kind of want to figure out if I can mod Amber Isle. It's a game I love and I haven't played in awhile, because I basically "beat" it. I'd like a reason to replay it. I want weight gain mechanics for these lovely hot dinos. Because, you have to remember that they LOOK LIKE THIS!!! <3
unlabelledView post →I wish Steam had a Medium/Meh category since the game isn´t bad but also isn´t a game I would recommend to my friends. I would only recommend this to people who love dinosaurs since the art style is super cute and the game is at very first really fun but the gaming loop over time just gets boring and annoying to a point. I had the goal of 100% the game later decided to just finish the game, which I haven´t yet and don´t think I ever will since I dont wanna grind to get to the credits. So if…

unlabelledView post →Extremely buggy. While the concept of the game is great and cute and the artwork is lovely, the bugs make it IMPOSSIBLE to enjoy. When you move your character its lagged and janky, don't expect any smooth animation, even during cutscenes. It's ridiculous that your OWN CHARACTER is so bugged it makes it incredibly hard to move around the map and play the game. On top of the visual bugs, its hard to decorate anything, its hard to interact with objects, characters, even stuff you have to fix you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was really excited for this game and I waited for a nice big sale, I saved up for this one. I love dinosaurs and everything this game said it had to uncover. I wish I read more reviews, I read some bad ones complaining about bugs and thought "oh sometimes people get unlucky and surely it doesn't happen to everyone maybe I'll be lucky and bug-less! After all there are so many good reviews!" Don't be like me. There were so many screen-freezy bugs just while I played the tutorial, the…

unlabelledView post →Game was not finished. Multiple bugs prevented me from even getting out of the tutorial and being warped back outside of the shop and locked out of it. Interactions with other buildings would lock up, and sometimes NPCs would just vanish when going to talk to them. It's sad, because I saw a lot of potential here, but this game just is NOT finished.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- Visuals 9/10 Honestly the art is great and the character design is very good. Which is the shame considering everything else. - UI 7/10 Pretty good apart from a few weird quirks. I'm still not sure why characters' hatchdays are shown as day and month when the game measures time in days and seasons. Also, the game would benefit a LOT from tooltips. Tell me what the "Generous" trait means. Oh and the game losing focus freezes the already lengthy loading screens. Why? - Gameplay 5/10…

unlabelledView post →Amber Isle is essentially an unpolished Animal Crossing with (mostly) dinosaurs. I’ve put 42 hours in so far and I’m pushing through for 100% completion, mostly by putting aside the countless annoyances I’m running into. The game itself is cute, colorful, and has a childlike charm to it. It’s a great turn your brain off chill game, and the lack of stamina limit or changing seasons eliminates a lot of the usual cozy sim restrictions of game progression. That said, as a grumpy older lady,…

unlabelledView post →I love the amount of characters there are to meet and the character customization, but that camera is downright awful. If you're going to have us move around outside, your camera needs to be WAY further back from the character and/or able to move 360 degrees. As it stands, I can hardly move south without bumping into something when I'm out gathering resources. There are multiple moments where the game takes the camera and points it away in directions you don't see when playing normally. Clearly…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed Amber Isle! The gameplay is pretty nice and the story is extremely endearing. While it is rough around the edges in some aspects, it’s definitely a worthwhile playthrough. THE GOOD - The character design is absolutely adorable. There’s a lot of nice representation of interesting prehistoric animals that you don’t typically see in media. - Almost every paleofolk has a lovable personality. - The story is fun! - The character creator has a lot of variety. (I hope they will…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →got softlocked last year and still after the update i was still softlocked so i had to restart my entire game, lol
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Finished" the game in the sense that I finished all major stories and areas. A pros and cons list incoming. Pros: - Good bones to the game. It's a decently fun gameplay loop of crafting and selling items along with making friends with townsfolk and customizing areas that you unlock. - Adorable aesthetic. It's just cute. I got to be a cute deer-like creature with huge horns, lil fangs, and a sweater. Need I say more? You can customize your dinosaur/creature to your heart's content. -…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Man, this game has so much promise. The game loop is fun, the goals are exciting, but I can't recommend it for one simple reason- the controls and map are JANK. Refilling your shop is a pain, you end up pushing the wrong options half the time, the UI pops up randomly faster or slower... I put up with it until I got to my first resident moving in. I cant tell WHERE I'm putting this dang house. The map is confusing and all the blue tiles mean you can't tell whats what or where... it's so bad. I…

unlabelledView post →More reviews like this one [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45764125/]here! I was pleasantly surprised by this game. I’ve become pretty cynical of farm/life sims (as I’ll get to if I ever finish the farm sim post…) as a lot of them rely on the ‘cozy’ buzzword and don’t bother with actual gameplay. But this was a really fun shop sim with a huge stock of items to craft and a surprisingly large map with dozens of townies. Also dinos are cool. The premise here is that for their…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I still need to figure out what my new stream game is gonna be. I still need to finish Factorio Space Age and Amber Isle, also it turns out that I have No Man's Sky.
unlabelledView post →This Amber Isle game is so cute! 😍💙 And i've spend a long time in character creation screen, lmao! That's the closest i could get to my sona i guess xP
unlabelledView post →After over 60h I can't play anymore, the game became too laggy. Also tried another computer, still fps issues.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's evidence of a really good game in here, however the game is SO zoomed in and stuck with a fixed camera that it immediately becomes nauseating. Don't be ashamed to show the game you put so much heart and effort into. Devs please fix that or add settings that change the fov, it's unplayable as is. For now I'm asking for a refund and walking away.
