This is, essentially, the perfect game. Enough story to contextualize the journey, immaculately precise and fair gameplay mechanics, great art, a banger soundtrack, and silly cosmetics to unlock through progression. It doesn't pretend to be more than it is, and the smallness of scope ("dino save world by going through levels and not dying") is probably my favorite thing about it. Games don't need to be straightforward and laser-focused to be good, but this one is. And it is so good.
