PC Gamer previews Age of Meteor, a dinosaur-themed soulslike launching on Steam this week, in which players control a spinosaurus wielding a greatsword in its mouth and facing enemies including, apparently, an incoming meteor. The premise marks an unusual entry in the crowded soulslike genre, swapping the usual human or humanoid protagonists for a prehistoric predator and leaning into an absurdist take on the extinction-event narrative for comic and creative appeal.

Details on mechanics, release date within the week and pricing were not fully outlined in the available text, though the game is confirmed as a Steam launch imminent at time of writing. The concept draws attention chiefly for its novelty: combining Dark Souls-style combat with dinosaur-on-dinosaur (and dinosaur-on-meteor) action, offering a lighthearted spin on a genre typically known for grim, humanoid settings.
