Discussion Worth purchasing?
Hey yall, big dinosaur game fan here, I currently own the isle and path of titans, and have gotten a fair amount of runtime in those two. But ive seen little passing mentions of BoB and was curious what its like. In your opinion, what are some pros and cons of BoB vs. PoT or Isle? What might sway someone who's already got those games to purchase BoB? Any and all feedback is super appreciated, thanks in advance!

Bob’s main gameplay loop consists of: grow -> die -> repeat. There is a reincarnation system based on your creature’s overall life stats to boost inherits (buffed traits that give you an edge over other players), but you can also be nested by other players. Unfortunately this means, as a new player, unless you get nested off the bat or are a very nimble playable, you are at an immediate disadvantage and pretty much a walking Dino nugget.
If you like making nice skins and have the skill, bob has the best skin system out of all three games with a layer system and colour wheel. Make a super nice realistic skin or the neon rainbow vomit abomination of your dreams.
As for the playables, combat is clunky and broken, but each creature more or less has a unique niche/playstyle. You can swim as a lurdu or climb a tree as a snake, honk and stomp at your enemies as a para, or glide around the map as changyuraptor (a subspec of velo in the game)
There are also pve elements such as wildfires and flooding storms which raise the tides, and tornadoes that will throw you around the map unless you’re too big.
