Every Carnivores Game Ranked (1998 - 2015) 

Hello everyone! Sorry about the lack of activity across all platforms lately, I've just moved into a new apartment with a new job so things are quite busy, but I hope you guys enjoy the first episode in a new series! Which Carnivores game is your favorite?

It’s insane that the community of Carnivores has stuck around for so long. So many communities died with their games, but for 22 years, the Carnivores community has been alive and well.

“What’s good is really good” -Saurian Target, 2019

3 years too late but dude thank you for showing me the absolute masterpiece that the mobiles carnivores evolved into from what they were way back in like 2013. I was legitimately blown away by the absolute improvement, will 100% buy it. There are actual steam games with far less quality to offer than this

everytime saurian uploads, its like the second coming of christ

School? Failed Drugs? Nope Hotel? Trivago But... Ranked? 2

I’d definitely agree with most of this list, except I’d switch Ice Age and Cityscape. Mostly because I was able to beat Ice Age without getting a headache halfway through and never touching it again.

You covered just about all of the bases, both with regard to the games and the community, Garrett, but there's one thing you left out: You. I'm not trying to give you a big head or call you the Markiplier of Carnivores (especially since I'M the RU-vid canon's Discount Markiplier, lol) or anything, but you are one of the best things about Carnivores. You have brought Carnivores to the attention of so many people who'd otherwise never even know the franchise exists. You have put absurd amounts of work into videos that both you and the community enjoy. You have acted as a middleman between Andrey and the community when no one else could. You uploaded a video today that brightened up the day of someone going through a really rough time in life: me. You did all of these things and more ALL while it isn't your job. You may get some ad revenue off of doing this, but it isn't your career. Quitting your job and just doing this at the moment would probably be financial suicide. Yet, in spite of all of the practical reasons not to, you continue to do all of these things and more for the community. That's why YOU are ranked number one on the list of the greatest things about the Carnivores franchise.

Everybody gangsta till the aliens that look like dinosaurs escape and rampage through a city

You should do a carnivores tier lists for the creatures lol. For the memes

Carnivores 1998 is the reason I’m addicted to open world games

Words cannot describe the absolute joy I feel every time I get an e-mail titled "Saurian Target just uploaded a video". I dig the new series format; it's definitely got a lot of potential with all the official and mod content we have (and still keep getting!), and I'm sure you'll tap into that potential in due time. As for this list, I can definitely feel the struggle between the first two places- it is a very close call. Carnivores 1 has the better assets, while its sequel opened the Pandora's box that got us all here, 20 years later, aiming our rifles at big-breasted, anime-eyed turkeysauruses. If we judge these game as games alone, I'd definitely pick C1 as the top pick; It is a bit sad, however, to think the first one was really the best and from there it only went downhill. Good thing we're here to pick up the slack. Also, congratulations on the new job and apartment! I hope you'll be able to adjust quickly and eke out a life of joy and comfort; and of course, many more Carnivores videos to come.

18:50 Those two Pacys are like,"We like Moshops..."

I've always been a sucker for Reborn, as I'm not very good at the original games and mods and Reborn is much more casual and immersive (for the most part), but I still agree with your rankings and why you put them in the order you did. Great video as always!

Hi saurian I've been watching your channel since 1.5 years and to me you're a great RU-vidr who deserved to have millions of subscribers 👋👋👋🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

You know you're early when the title of the video is Ranked2...

Says he's not the final authority.... Thats only something the final authority would say~

4:11 *dose front flip into T. rex mouth and falls out of throat* Guy: IM GONNA DO IT AGAIN!!

Controversial opinion, but if the mobile ports had PC controls and modding, they would be the best Carnivores games we've ever gotten. Which is kinda why a Steam port would be revolutionary. Too bad it ain't gonna happen for a while

Already liked. Always good content from saurian! Can't wait to hear your opinions! Thank you for the continued creation of content for this community. #1 will always be Carnivores 1 in my book. An eternal classic! The rest are just a bonus!

I haven't played any of the mods, so for me, Carnivores 2 is the best, one big change I actually liked was removing the single kill spots, it makes killing stronger dinosaurs seem more daunting, trying yo kill a Ceratosaurus with a pistol was a trip and a half. But challenging myself to run a gauntlet and hunt all the dinosaurs in a single hunt was a unique and welcome improvement in capability over the original (to me)

I love your effort that you put in your videos

4:49 My childhood in one word

New series? Woot!

Even though I've only played the port and the original demo, I kinda think Carnivores Ice Age is slighty more interesting than the originals. Thats only because dinosaur hunting has now been done to death, where as ice animals are still relatively unique. I know most ice age animals are just furrier versions of modern animals, and I do agree that the game has its issues and the maps are more boring, but I like the diversity it brings to the table.

My favorite video, Ranked2

I really have to agree with Ice Age, because even when I played the mobile port of it on my kindle, it was definitely not as interesting as Dinosaur Hunter was. As for Cityscape, it’s honestly one of those games where it’s good, but if you’re a fan of the series it’s a part of, it’s just might not bear the torch right.

This don’t look like the C2+ showcase Lmao Great video

You honestly deserve at least a million subscribers

I can't give my definitive list since I have yet to play Cityscape, BUT my list is otherwise the same as yours for the reasons you gave. I still have a soft spot for Ice Age, though admitedly that comes off more as it coming off as being unrelated to the other Carnivores games with its much more realistic (comparatively) animal designs and feeling more like you were brought back in time to the Ice Age to hunt, rather than travel to an alien world. A fantastic video and not a single point to argue on, keep up the amazing work.

I'm not the final authority on all things carnivores is just engraved in my mind forever 😂😂

here is a saurian target Carnivores profile Sight: Good Scent: Average Hearing: Average Health: 13 Dangerous if you like Carnivores Reborn Mortal Zone: Tatem Well, how is it Saurian, am i forgeting one aspect

I thought the best Carnivores game was Carnivores Modern Days

My first entry into carnivores was Carnivores City Scape. A friend at the internship in the natural history museum gave me City Scape, Ice Age and one and two. I started with City Scape, because it was faster installed, while I waited for One to be finished. I loved the idea of playing a Coelophysis. But Two was my absolute favorite. Many dinosaurs and a damn good atmossphere. I tryied all games in the following years. Sadly, my new laptop has no CD entry, so I have to play the mobile ports. Sad too, that no digital client like steam or microsoft store, not even the damn fortnite shop offers Carnivores 1 and 2 in digital download form. I want to try the mods, triassic is awesome. I mean, the animals are the same, that stands in our museum. But no, nobody wants to sell that games...

I am very saury for not finding out about this channel earlier! Great content!

Bro the amount of work you do you deserve millions of subs

I just found your channel since I recently re-downloaded Carnivores DH and Ice Age, on my phone. I remember Carnivores beeing one of my first video games ever, my dad bought it and Ice Age when I was a little kid to hunt on my very very old computer. I have lots of memories and I am really glad to find your channel, subscribbed and soon whatching all of your related videos!

One was my favourite, but I remember pluging in headphones and playing for hour's and still getting jump scares when I least expect it, nostalgia though and my mate's hated the game because they expected it to be action full stop one shot kills stuff, I guess I had more patients with the game and grown to love the feeling of not feeling safe but still taking the risks for a new species to admire in the gallery.

Why don't you like the Carnivores 2 maps? You say the originals are too small so the sequel makes them bigger, then you complain they're more empty. You can't expect alien ruins around every single corner.

First time I’ve heard of these games,gonna have to buy carnivore 2 now

Saurian Target I really like your Hard Work with Mods and I would like to see them in the Mobile Version! Wish the Developer would add these Dinosaurs and other stuff!!!

Also my favorite is carnivores 2 and I love the allosaurus model.

18:47 I didn't know the planet's peachy population worshiped the moshops

I was waiting days for you to upload :)

I played this when I was little and throughout the years I always remembered this game and I finally found it! Thank you

I grew up with Carnivores HD (Mobile). I was addicted to it due to how scared I was to even hunt a carnivore

0:35 WE GOT ONE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!

i honestly want to give 1 and 2 a try but of the mobile ports and reborn i personally like reborn the most it's such a shame that it was abandoned after release it honestly would've been cool to at least get carnivores 2 maps (since those are more on the same size scale) and a few more dinosaurs and also because i have played reborn for a total of 70 hours and i still haven't gotten bored of it although that'll eventually happen imagine if reborn had mod support

Dang, it's been awhile, I'm liking the look of the logo now. It looks good.

I know im late but, here is my list: 5. Original carnivores 1 and 2... I never really played them on my computer, only fan made variants, and i only even put them on this list because the concept is very clear. 4. Carnivores ice age, original, same story, i just like ice 3. Carnivores Ice Age Mobile.... This game, i love it, i love the maps, and the creatures, my only issue with it is there is to small of a variety of creatures, and the same weapons, just a repainted rifle, i do love the concept, and it has alot of potential. 2. Carnivores Dinosaur Hunter Mobile I LOVE this game, so much variety of maps, dinosaurs, and easter eggs, it just doesn’t get as much attention to updates as it needs, on top of that, it gets dull quick, but it was the carnivores game i grew up with, and therefore, a favorite of mine. 1. Reboots... My favorite is the reboots, mainly because the graphics, and how its so beautiful, and now that they are on modern day consoles, the game is getting fixed and the love it needs, I LOVE it! Thats my list 👍 dont sue me.

Been trying to catch up on your videos today so sorry for such a late response. I often felt Carnivores 2 was the best because it offered more, such as more dinosaurs and larger areas with more weapons and such and had I guess better gameplay. And I think the graphics engine was better but I don't know. Of course I do like the original because like you said it started it all, and I like its overall theme and design and ideas of the lore. Ice Age I liked because it was about an Ice Age scenario, and Cityscape was nice because it was a change of graphics and gameplay and it reminded me of the graphics for Primal Prey and was from the early 2000s which I think have a unique feel. I also like the mobile ports because they are like updated versions from the original sequels and allow those original related games to live on in modern game devices. The HD and Reborn versions I respect with the newer graphics and such but I wish they added more to it. Great video!

4:48 Well said, Kopaka

Imagine a carnivores reboot given the love and attention of monster hunter world.

Saurain target: we unlocked pack hunting! Carnivores mobile: are we a joke to you

It makes me mad that saurian isn't working for tatem at this point. He is the savior we need

This game needs more love

I played the 1st game on my grandmas old box computed back in like 2004 or 5. Until just now, i thought it was just a one off game.

Funny that after the original, Ice Age is my favorite, I think it was the one I played the most! Used to play 'em with my dad back then... wish I could get Ice Age on steam...

Awesome video. I played the original carnivores to death when I came out. The love of the game caused me to run RPG games set in 1936 on an island that contained dinosaurs. I even found the disclaimer and used it for the game. I didn't even realise it was still a thing, so I have just paused the video long enough to go and buy tye new one fir my console. Time for some updated nostalgia!

I used to love carnivores, im looking to start playing again.

Love this game, I wish there were more weapons and more creatures for you to hunt, like Mayen the Spinosaurus, carnotaurus, or the Ankylosaurus.

When you don't need the bell to be early... *Feels* *good*

Hey I discover were Carnivores Cityspcape Coelophysis Model came from is National Geographic Supercroc Book

Since you seem a big fan of Carnavories you should definetly cover other Action forms games they are really intresting . Personal favorite from all of their games would go to "Cryostasis sleep of reason" while vivisector had more polish this one really did something intresting with setting, enviroment and technology. Its buggy but good game with here and there frustating game design in flashbacks.

They really need to port Carnivores-Cityscape on Steam and GOG.

My favorite video from Saurian, Ranked2

very late comment, but the first one (1998) ive played at a friends house and i was hooked, dinosours seemed so "cool" to me at that age. later he gave me the game as a birthday present (i think he secretly was afraid to play it or something). great memories man, thank you for this list!

I kinda have to disagree with Ice age being the bottom of the barrel, it has some good things in it that make it better than the reboots. Well at least to me.

Great video, I listened to it while painting my nails, might download one of the games later and play it.

I use to play this game when I was a little kid on the computer holy shit watching this makes me want to play again

For me the original Carnivores will always be #1.

Dude I haven’t seen anything about these games in years. What a trip.

Yes

Great video dude !

Can't believe that I actually agree with all your picks, Saurian. Ice age is my least favorite of them all (simply because it has no dinosaurs) and Cityscape has the most terrifying atmosphere of the bunch (in my opinion)

Help, this introduced me into the series, and I just finished carnivores+, and it was a blast, so I went to get 2+, and it worked and everything, but whenever I walk or swim, there's a horrible overplayed noise, and if it press the windows button, it's literally ear rape, anyone know how to fix this?

Hey surian! My name is kai and I just want to say “thank you” because back in 2017 I had a big surgery (if your wondering what was the surgery was they took a nerve out of my leg into my face) and your videos kept my mind off the surgery and before my surgery I watched one of your videos now I’m thinking of makeing a mod called “carnivores Canada” and I need help makeing it if you could help me or heart this comment it would make my day thank you for helping me with my surgery -kai Age 10

I called it! I called everything in this list. I have at least some common sense. Also, i completely agree with everything on this list, great ranking Saurian. Also also does anyone have carnivore wallpaper? For mobiles

1. Carnivores 2. Cityscape 3. Ice Age 4. Carnivores 2 5. HD Never played reborn. I was six when the first one came out and I remember playing it 21 years ago and nothing can beat that nostalgia. Carnivores 2 didn’t have the aesthetic as the first and that’s why I don’t like it as much. Nothing word builded like that first one with pyramid and haunted temples, we got a satellite outpost and a village in 2. At least Ice Age gave us a new spin on things. I played HD once or twice on the PS3 for like 10 minutes and never got back in to it. Didn’t know Reborn was a thing till it was already gone.

I didn't know people hated cityscape 😂 I love that game so much

Having played Ice Age Mobile, the Bear still runs away when you shoot it or it senses you

weirdly enough though, cityscape having the dinosaurs be first person inadvertently gave them the best controls out of any playable dinosaur games out there.

There is more than one Carnivores game? This is a series. I think I only ever played the original.

I would personally place the reboots before ice age, the rest of the list i agree on. My only problem with carnivores 2 was that the animals health instead of spots where you had to shoot at

I'd rank WORST TO BEST: Cityscape HD Original Ice age Carnivores Carnivores 2 Reborn Moble ports I love the mobile ports bc I grew up with it

Yeah a ranking list on every Carnivore Games that was made until 2015.

At this point you are the final authority

"I am not the final authority on all things Carnivores." Saurian Target - Millionth time he says it.

I actually did not know cityscape was a carnivores game at first

I love you saurian, like a friend.

6. Carnivores Dinosaur Hunter Reborn 5. Carnivores Ice Age 4. Carnivores Cityscape 3. Carnivores Mobile 2. Carnivores 1. Carnivores 2

My list: 5: Carnivores Cityscape - I hate it cus it taked by Sunstorm actually the cityscape hits too much also it's terryfying, creepy 4: Carnivores Mobile DH/Ice Age - it has no mods, this port haven't been part 2 of the Carnivores DH Mobile it has no part 2, but the original has the 1 which 1998 and 2 which 1999 3: Carnivores Ice Age (2001) - The PC version of Carnivores Ice Age takes 3 because it's really goated at time, most best experience to hunt arctic ancient animals and you can download mod carnivores triassic on it or not i don't remember 2: Carnivores Reborn/Carnivores HD (2013-2015) - its realistic, it gameplay is too cool but i hate one dinosaur in those games, it's the ceratosaurus because it too fast, it's run ot you out of 300 meters so it's actually overrated 1: Carnivores 1/ Carnivores 2 (1998-1999) - it's best because it's original game all tho. If you remember what in game it's was been a Triceratops in carnivores 1, i love triceratops and what about game the carnivores 2 has mods but carnivores 1 has no mods like mobile

Hey saurian I found this cool mod on moddb.com and the mod is called Jurassic Park Hunter: Polar expansion I think its a cool mod but the mod has different creatures and the trophy room inst re skinned but I think its cool and I think you should make a video about it if you want! If you do respond I can send you the link :P

That one dislike is the President of Tatem Games.

At least there is gonna be a fantastic reboot to Ice Age, which I can't wait for it to be released.

0:12 okey he sleep

You should make a tier list of the carnivores dinosaurus or games

I’m makeing a carnivores short film soon!! (You don’t have to watch it)

Here is mine 7. cityscape 6. ice age 5. ice age mobile 4. Reboots 3. Mobile dinosaur hunter 2. Carnivores 1998 1. Carnivores 2

The first carnivores game was my first PC game I played with my uncles Stephen and Zack. we would all bet who would get killed by what dinosaur and seeing who could get the most dinosaurs in a hunt. Game is awesome. I played the mobile version which is great I don't like how they put in microtransactions in it. I played that alot in middle school. just to come back to listen you have to pay for the stuff with money and they got rid of the old version of the mobile. Any OG will remember there was carnivores mobile then carnivores HD mobile.
