‘Dino Crisis’-Inspired ‘Fossilfuel 2’ Out Now on Steam, Xbox Series

Published

It’s no secret that we have more games inspired by Dino Crisis than we have actual Dino Crisis games, which is probably a good thing, given Capcom’s decision (so far) to not revisit the classic Panic Horror series. The latest is DangerousBob Studio’s Fossilfuel 2, which arrived last week on Steam and the Xbox Series, which puts more of a focus on blowing away dinosaurs than running from them. Still, when the description on the game’s page tells you to turn up the volume and turn off the lights, you know you’re in for a good time.

Fossilfuel 2 put you in the boots of Jack Allen, who is investigating a now-flooded Alaskan Sierra Research Facility with his crew. But as luck would have it, his boat gets attacked by a Megalodon, the crew becomes shipwrecked on the shores of Sierra and they must now find a way to escape. which has been overrun by dinosaurs. As is expected, you’ll also have to find out the truth behind the Dino outbreak.

The research facility utilizes a dynamic sandbox layout that allows you to revisit areas, acquire weapon upgrades, and clear sections to create safe zones by draining water in the flooded areas. That being said, you’ll also be donning scuba gear to navigate the flooded hallways and rooms, which are home to various monsters of the deep, including giant sharks.

Luckily, you’ve got an array of weapons, and thanks to Unreal Engine 5, there’s plenty of gore to be found as you unload on dinosaurs. Fossilfuel 2 also features multiple endings and player choices that change the course of the game. And for fans of Half-Life 2‘s Garry’s Mod, Fossilfuel 2 features a sandbox mode can be unlocked for players to flex their creativity.

If you’re still unconvinced, there’s also a demo available on Steam.

Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.

Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”

Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.

And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
