What do kids love more than anything? Dinosaurs. Throw PAW Patrol into the mix and you’ve basically hit the jackpot. That’s exactly what Outright Games and 3DClouds have put together here — a fun little adventure that’s clearly been made with young players front of mind.
Welcome to PAW Patrol Dino World!
The pups are heading somewhere brand new — Dino Island, a lovely prehistoric paradise that’s seen better days. Yep, Mayor Humdinger’s been up to his usual nonsense, scaring all the dinosaurs and scattering them across the place. Time for Ryder and the team to step in and help out.
The story is nice and simple — no confusing plot twists or paragraphs of text to read. It feels like jumping straight into a new episode of the show. I really liked how varied the island feels too — there are open grassy plains, beaches, jungles and even volcanic caves to explore, each with its own little secrets tucked away.
Explore, Rescue, Have Fun
This isn’t just a bunch of little mini-games stuck together — it’s a proper little world kids can actually wander around in. They can take their time finding things, helping baby dinosaurs get back to their families, or just drive around enjoying the view. Nothing forces them to rush.
The Paleo Centre is a really nice touch too — it’s a base where you can look after the dinosaurs you’ve rescued. It gives kids something extra to care about, and honestly? That’s probably their favourite part — being able to go back and check on their dino friends.
Each Pup Brings Something Different
You can play as all six main pups: Chase, Marshall, Rubble, Skye, Rocky and Zuma. Everyone has their own little job — Chase can flip switches, Marshall sprays water, Skye flies up to high spots, and Zuma’s the one you want whenever there’s water involved. Switching characters gets kids thinking just a little bit — nothing hard, just enough to keep things interesting. And yes — everyone gets their own vehicle, obviously.
Made So Kids Can Actually Enjoy It
This is easily the best thing about the game — it really gets what playing should feel like for younger kids. The controls are straightforward, there are helpful arrows pointing where to go, and you just don’t get punished for messing up. No game over screens, no losing progress. If something goes wrong, you just keep going. It’s brilliant for building confidence, especially for kids still getting used to holding a controller.
Great for Playing Together
Got a little one who wants someone alongside them? There’s local two-player co-op, so you, a sibling or a friend can jump in and explore together. It makes such a difference being able to share it. And because all the dialogue is spoken out loud, younger children don’t have to struggle reading everything on screen.
Looks and Sounds Like the Show
It’s bright, colourful and instantly recognisable — exactly like stepping into the cartoon. It’s not going to blow anyone away graphically, but it doesn’t need to. It looks friendly and inviting, and that’s exactly what matters. The music and voices are spot on too. You might notice the odd bit of animation that’s a little stiff or a line that gets repeated a bit too often — but honestly? Kids won’t care one bit when there’s a T-Rex waiting to say hello.
Plenty to Keep Them Coming Back
For the right age group, there’s loads to do. Four different zones, dinosaurs to find, eggs to hunt down, outfits to unlock and little side things to mess around with. An older child or adult might find it a bit easy — but that’s never who it was for. Younger players will happily lose themselves here, and that freedom to just enjoy the world is honestly its biggest strength.
Wrap Up
PAW Patrol Dino World knows exactly what it is and who it’s for — and it nails it. It’s warm, it’s friendly, and it never tries to be something it isn’t. It doesn’t need to be challenging to be good — it just needs to be fun for the kids playing it, and it absolutely is.
A few small rough edges aside, this is a wonderful little adventure for young fans. If your child loves PAW Patrol, dinosaurs — or best of all, both — they’re going to have a brilliant time with this one.
