you can find a place to hide if you don't have the firepower to take it down.
as it follows you and closes the distance. it's great to hear the difference between 2 and 4 legged dinos from far away and realize you are being followed by the sound of a 2 legged dino stomping loudly. i know shot placement counts but there are often other factors too. and you may find that you shoot one triceratops more than 10 times with shotgun slugs and it doesn't die and it kills you, but other triceratops you shot just 2 or 3 times and it died.
it's a walking simulator where you will probably die a lot, but it's not impossible to find guns. i'm not going to mention the various problems or downsides to the game.
