At the PC Gaming Show, there was no shortage of titles that appeared here and now, without a long wait. One of them is Ferocious – a game that, from the very first seconds, reminds us why dinosaurs still captivate the imagination better than half of today's shooters.
Dinosaurs, Mechs and the Stifling Tropical Climate
Ferocious doesn't mess around with a gentle introduction. On the screen, overgrown predators immediately appear, capable of turning a reconnaissance mission into a fight for survival in an instant. But that's just the beginning, as the creators add in mechs, heavily armed mercenaries, and a world that resembles a darker version of Far Cry rather than any vibrant shooter featuring giant reptiles.
The jungle in Ferocious is not just a backdrop – it is an adversary. Dense foliage, torrential downpours, limited visibility, and constant tension mean players must act cautiously. On top of that, there are dynamic encounters with animals and humans who have no hesitation in sending us to the respawn camp.
Power fantasy: from T-Rex to advanced weaponry
The greatest strength of the game is the combination of survival, elements of Tarkov, and pure power fantasy. Not only can you modify every weapon in detail, but you can even tame dinosaurs. And for those who have dreamed of commanding a T-Rex to trample a squad of mercenaries – Ferocious finally fulfills that dream. For those who prefer technology, the game offers the ability to enter mecha suits and construct equipment for future missions.
Survival for Real
Although the game looks like an intense shooter, its foundations are much more raw. You don't get complete equipment – you must gather resources, create your own tools, and develop skills to transition from "just survive" mode to the role of a hunter who consciously chooses what to hunt. Ferocious is already available on the first platform, and the developers promise further growth and additional updates. If you miss a shooter that blends old-school brutality with modern presentation and isn't afraid to take risks – this could be one of the more interesting releases of the year.
