Early Access Review
After putting in just over 100 hours. I can confidently say, this game absolutely sucks.

I tried to give it a chance, I really did, I wanted something outside of Path of Titans & The Isle. BoB seemed like that, like it could be fun. It's not, so save your money for a better game. I wish I could refund this trash, but unfortunately I bought it years ago. Only really got into it when I heard about the Palaeophis (the snake).

What's the problem with it? Let me go into more detail for ya:

Firstly, the growth system. It's infinite, pretty much, you don't stop growing. Which sounds cool on paper, until you realize there are a ton of no-life griefers on this game. People who are 2.0, 3.0, 4.0+ grown dinos, will chase you down and gank you in about 0.2s. Literally. I'm not exaggerating. The combat in this game is beyond fast pace. I've seen massive rexes get demolished in literal seconds. You'll spend irl hours - HOURS - trying to get to a measly 1.5 - 2.0 in growth. And get killed, sometimes before you can react.

Some playables can attack almost as fast as you can click your M1. You can combo attacks in split seconds too.
Also every playable inflicts a thing called "Injury" which is just BoB's bone-break mechanic. Nearly every, if not all, playables can inflict this to a degree. Pretty much, whoever gets the first hit, wins. I'd say 99% of the fights I've been in and seen, first hit wins.

There are definitely a few things I'm missing for combat, but it would go on too long if I did. It's not relative though, it's mostly your basic turn-based combat game with no collision.

Player base:

I've got 2k+ hours in The Isle, around 1k+ in Path of Titans. I have to say, Beasts of Bermuda is the worst by far. I play only officials on all games, so I like to play the games the way The Devs intended them to be played. So my view comes from Official servers.

The players are relatively friendly, to a degree you don't realize until you're playing more and more of the game. What I mean is, some will help you out in game, teach you basics. I even had players answer my questions as a noobie, sounds great right?

Well, the game is riddled with Clans (as all of these games are), ESP/Hackers and just general ♥♥♥♥♥♥ players. The reason I quit was due to the same player, who kept killing me over & over again (no matter where I was on the map or what I was, he would find me and kill me, no matter how many blows I landed on him - he'd kill me), all because I dared attack him while he was grinding for something. And this was days in a row, I played 3-4 days in a row, he was the one who killed me every single time. Once he saw my profile/name in the player list. He'd find me and kill me again & again.

This is what happens when you just play the game normally, you get a target on your back, that never leaves. Many players are harassed by individuals or groups, who know how to abuse/use the game mechanics (due to playing 100's if not 1000's of hours of BoB). And you can't often fight back or even escape, especially as a newer player.

I've been targeted in TI & PoT, but never to this degree. And in those games, I have been able to fight back and win. But Bob players are on a whole other level of petty. Infinite growth, no life, griefers who are upset you DARED to attack someone you found slacking. That makes this game unbearable to play.

Genuinely, in the other games, by 100 hours I'd had fond memories, tons of fun. I can't say that for BoB. This game leaves a terrible mark on me.
