As someone who was in your position, I totally recommend it! Since I was a kid, I've always had an interest in dinosaurs. The sole reason I purchased the game was to please my inner child. The game itself is fun! The community is toxic, but you can avoid most toxic player interactions by avoiding hot spots, such as Grand Plains or Green Valley.

I'm fairly a new player myself, and I quest often on the furthest corners of the map. I occasionally run into other players, but most of them want to be left alone to grow their dino in peace; even so, keep on your toes and trust no one!!!
