Joe Morgan's Reviews
The best thing I can say about a game of this nature is that it accomplishes what it sets out to do. It creates puzzles to be solved, gives players the tools to succeed, and then makes you feel like a dextrous genius when you execute successfully. Couple that fantastic visual design and a solid soundtrack and you have something special fans will come back to time and again. Don’t sleep on this wild ride.

The digital adaptation of the board game is faithful and atmospheric with some smart quality of live changes, but a nearly catatonic online community makes me want to sit down at a table with friends that much more.
Taking out dinosaurs as futuristic warfighters is both fun and ridiculous. Come for the gameplay but don't worry yourself with the narrative.
The story of five young heroes saving their world is well-done if predictable, but the gameplay is addictive and the visuals are a treat you can enjoy without breaking the bank.
