First one is pretty fun, but it gets repetitive around 3-4 hours in. The puzzles are also annoying, rather than creative, or interesting...or fun...

Dino Crisis 2 is more action-oriented. Shorter. Pretty fun. They're both solid 7/10's.

1 and 2, yes. But 1 has a focus on puzzles and getting keys, meanwhile 2 is pure action. Both are great in my opinion, and my only advice is that if you play 1 blind, redraw your own map on paper and write the names of the rooms, it will help you a lot.

I only finished 1 once and it was pretty good at the start, but midway through it gets really boring. I might be remembering wrong here but I don't think the game even has proper weapons, I was using tranquilizers until the end game?

I loved 2 and beat it multiple times, I think I even unlocked all the dinos in the fighting minigame. It's more action focused, and buying things at those little computers might feel weird at first, but I prefer 2 much more anyways.

The original Dino Crisis is nearly worthless, they removed everything that worked with RE and replaced it with nonsense for some reason. Then for the sequel they trashed ALL the nonsense and went into the complete opposite direction, needless to say the sequel is a must play.

1 is incredibly unfun. Reminder that the original ISNT a Shinji Mikami game, it's Shu Takumi's first game and he openly admitted he had no idea what the fuck he was doing and Mikami had to fill in to wrap the project up. Then Shu Takumi made the sequel after taking a look at what was wrong with the original, which is pretty much everything.

It would be neat if there was a 3d game where you carry a gun in Isla Sorna. And you select all the main characters with different paths. You could win as Nedry and get him to the boat.
I never played Dino Crisis very far. To be honest a lot of dino games were way cheesy with bad dinosaur designs. A lot of these games suffered tank controls, when we were playing 007 instead.

Here are some defining things about those games which sound negative but they are true:
1 basically requires you to have notepad open for password combinations and shit and the game doesn't have one in-game
2 requires you to be a perfectionist at least on hard difficulty because you will have a hard time in the first 1/4 otherwise

If you don't mind backtracking and you enjoy a more puzzle focused approach to survival horror then you'll enjoy Dino Crisis 1.

My tip if you decide to dive in: neither waste many darts nor kill the raptors and therizinosauruses (pic) and try to trap them in lasers instead.

Save your ammo, save your darts to mix lethal cocktails for the annoying pteros and the t-rex.

Dino Crisis 1 has a huge focus on puzzle solving and getting keys to do more puzzle solving and getting more keys. If you like puzzle solving or are in the mood for a game that requires you to carry a notepad without going pants on head retarded like the King's Quest series, Dino Crisis 1 is great.
Then Dino Crisis 2 completely change everything, is pure action game with a score system that allows you to buy bigger and more powerful weapons even if you don't need them 99% of the game.
Here is where the fanbase got splitted, Dino Crisis 1 fans hated 2, and for the most part 2 fans don't really care about 1. And on a rare occasion, there's the guy who actually likes video games who enjoys both for what they are. That used to be the status quo of the series, but in recent years, with Youtube players and 2025 fucked up attention spans, people started to hate 1 because it obviously is a slow game that lacks QoL that today we take for granted, like yellow paint or like the rooms names in the in-game map, frequently the game will tell you to go to a specific room but because the map is kinda big and is composed mostly of offices and labs is hard to remember by yourself which room is which. Also has a ton of documents with clues and puzzles, and while not a single one goes into moon logic, they are way harder than the ones you find in classic RE games.

Anyhow, people wanting a DC1 remake makes sense, the game will be more enjoyable with better graphics (obviously hoping for Regina's glorious ass), QoL, putting a classic SH puzzle difficulty selection and giving us more dinosaurs (with a toggle for faggy feathers for the fags that want science accurate dinos). For 2 they don't need to do that much, maybe make the game longer and rebalance the weapons.

In any case, if you're willing to give 1 a chance, try it, just remember your notepad.

Dino Crisis 1 idea of puzzle solving is just unfun and tedious crap that absolutely clashes with the whole premise of playing a survival horror or an action game or a dinosaur centric adventure, it's a full blown WTF were they thinking direction.

The setting is dull and boring, the music is forgettable if not grating, fighting the dinosaurs is shit and unsatisfying, dodging the dinosaurs is equally shit and unsatisyfing, 90% of the dinos are raptors, shitty ass QTE, awful awful labeling of key items, bizarre and annoying way of handling/storing/merging items, stupid save system, very few weapons with zero personality.

DC1 is literally what would happen if someone actively wanted to sabotage a RE clone in every possible way.

The most hilarious part is that Kirk walks scott free. That's how much of a blunder this game is, not even managing to give the mustache twirling villain the comeuppance he deserved.

This game is completely tone deaf, the dinosaurs themselves could be replaced with any generic monster/alien/whatnot and there'd be no difference.

>>12136568
>you enjoy a more puzzle focused approach to survival horror
Dino Crisis approach to "puzzle" is the equivalent of expecting people to do sudoku in a game meant to be a survival horror with dinosaurs. It's like going to a fast food to be served salad.

There are only 3 weapons in DC1. Pistol, Shotgun and Grenade Launcher.
The Shotgun is a multi-purpose weapon. You can either fire slugs, buckshot or various darts (sleep, tranquilize, poison, instakill).

(There are actually 2 pistols and 2 shotguns, but since they're upgrades of the initial versions, it's a moot point).
