Sim games have tried to mimic the coziness ofHarvest Moonto varying degrees of success since the 1990s. Among the calming sim games on modern hardware areCoral Island,My Time at Portia, andStory of Seasons. While the latter is a modern take on theHarvest Moonformula, most other sims provide their own unique twist on the genre. WhileStardew Valleyfeatures dinosaurs,Paleo Pinesappears to offer even more dinosaurs to stand out from other sims. ThoughArk: Survival Evolvedmay scratch the dinosaur itch for some players,Paleo Pinesappears more child-friendly.

Modus Games recently released a trailer forPaleo Pinesshowing off tons of different things that players will be able to do in the sim. The customizablePaleo Pinesprotagonist may tame dinosaurs, interact with several NPCs, grow crops, and expand their farm. The rundown farmhouse is shown with several different looks to highlight the customization potential ofPaleo Pines' version of player housing. ThePaleo Pinestrailer revealed three different biomes that players can explore, including grassy and rocky areas, and an oasis. During thePaleo Pinestrailer, the protagonist comes across a Moon Sculpture which may suggest that there are secrets to uncover like inStardew Valley.
Similar to theStardew ValleyandStory of Seasonsfarms,Paleo Pinesplayers will slowly upgrade a rundown property when they start their adventure. The trailer shows six different species of dinosaur, with three of them ridable. Humans and dinosaurs cooperate with each other inPaleo Pines, with the trailer revealing different ways that the prehistoric creatures can help with everyday activities. Although thePaleo Pinestrailer only hinted at it, these mountable dinosaurs offer their own unique abilities. At one point a triceratops breaks a boulder by charging into it, a theropod leaps into a log to destroy it, and a diplodocus swipes at bushes to remove them from a farm. These dinosaurs may provide more than one ability, as some are shown performing different tasks.
Though Modus Games hassimulation game experience withMaximum Football,Paleo Pineswill be its first farming sim. WhileArk: Survival Evolvedmay offer some of the things inPaleo Pines, the new farming sim looks to offer a cozier playing experience for dinosaur enthusiasts.
Paleo Pinesreleases for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on September 26.
