Wilderdark, a survival horror game set on a dinosaur-infested island, is coming to Steam on Tuesday, Nov.
The short version
- For some reason, there haven't been that many truly great dinosaur video games throughout history.
- Ark: Survival Evolved had plenty of success despite the fact it was quite janky, and The Isle has spawned myriad viral videos thanks to its proximity chat.
- Jurassic World Evolution 3 is by far the best licensed dinosaur game, but it focuses on managing the theme park, as opposed to fighting and surviving.

Why it matters
This manifests as glowing, grotesque growths on each creature's skin, and it's spread to plenty of the flora inhabiting the island too.
