Why is there a lack of dinosaur video games?

There’s so much gameplay potential from the pre-historic creatures.

There are a fair number of dinosaur games

  • Ark
  • Jurassic World Evolution
  • Paleo Pines
  • Turok

Didn't tomb raider also have dinosaurs in a few games?

When Horizon Zero Dawn was first revealed, it played really hard on that Turok appeal of hunting giant "dinosaurs" with a bow, even if they were metal.

If I search “dinosaur” on Steam it brings back the first 1000 games about dinosaurs.

Maybe try looking for them?

Agreed (and always my first thought with such questions) though I'll add this is actually a new question to me.

Dino Run 2 is nearing the end of development right now, if that helps.

I played Parkasaurus with my daughter a few years ago.

That's was pretty fun :)
