    The game is really cute, there are some interesting things to do until you finish it, like trying to make humans and dinosaurs exist at the same time, but it gets old after a while.

    it doesn't last long either. If this was priced at 15, it would be an ok game, but priced at where it is...

    Get it when it's at discount if you want a chill simulation game sorta like simearth back in the days.    … Expand

    I’ll give Birthdays this: I like the concept. Building a world from the very start sounds like it could be a lot of fun. The big problem comes with how little interactivity and control you have over the world. The most you can do is raise and lower the terrain to change the temperature. Everything else is done for you, making it really hard to get invested in. I think if this was an iPadI’ll give Birthdays this: I like the concept.

I think if this was an iPad game you checked up on once every few hours instead of a PS4 game where you need to set aside time to play it would’ve been more successful.… Expand

    Yes, it's simplistic. But it's also intensely complicated. To even play it, you have to really, actually play attention to the training. When is the last time that happened? Oh- and there is so much they DON'T spell out. So that air of mystery survives. Did I mention educational? Inspirational? (takes a moment to cry about the environment and the current state of affairs.)

    Ironically, the only thing holding this game back is a lack of evolution.

    Fails to create something original and entertaining. Birthdays the beginning gets boring really fast and there are really few mechanics that can bring some fun. Dinosaurs otherwise are cute and well designed, but unfortunately this is just one the the few good things in the game.​
