Many complain about Enigma DRM causing launch issues and performance problems. [1][2][3] Some recommend buying the GOG version instead due to DRM and Steam Deck issues. [4][5][6]

75% of the 254 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Dino Crisis. The complaint that keeps coming up: enigma DRM prevents some from launching the game. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Dino Crisis was met with mostly positive reviews. Critics compared Dino Crisis to the Resident Evil series while also drawing comparisons to Jurassic Park and describing the game as "Resident Evil with dinosaurs". Despite these similarities, reviewers found the game "enhances and alters" the Resident Evil formula with "strength of its own merits". The game was a commercial success, being a bestseller in Japan. During its debut week in Japan, Dino Crisis achieved sales above 300,000 units, making it the country's best-selling game from July 14 through July 21. The PlayStation version of the game ultimately sold 2.4 million copies worldwide, and is listed as Capcom "Platinum Title". Critics…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't buy it! After many years, Capcom finally decides to release the first two entries in the Dino Crisis series on Steam—and they come with DRM. Yes, a PS1 game with DRM. Not just any DRM, but the infamous Enigma, which can tank game performance by as much as 40% (just look at what it did to Resident Evil 4 Remake). It's way worse than Denuvo. On top of that, the DRM is causing many users to be unable to even launch the game , worse in Steam Deck, and there are also reports of…

neutral · AI labelView post →Great classic game however brute-forcing an aggressive DRM into the re-release of a game that came out in 1999 is absolutely fookin’ insane, even for Capcom’s level of incomprehensibly stupid, irrational and deranged decisions. Here’s a small fun fact about the download size - the Enigma DRM has a bigger install size than the game itself (which is around 500 MB only), so you're basically buying and paying for a DRM here, and you get the game as a small little bonus on the side with your…

Yes/No If they can not spell or state what happening clearly and it pops up a window asking if its ok to make a big change to the core windows files. Well screws Capcom no money for you.

neutral · AI labelView post →I love the Dino Crisis series. I don't like random unnecessary Russian made DRMs like "The Enigma Protector". Refunding and will gladly pay $200+ for a physical copy of the original PS1 game rather than having a red flag of a DRM try to install something in my registry. The first red flag? When I select "Start Game" I'm prompted with a message to Chack not Check, "Chack Register. Do you want to register the registry?" Suspicious.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game itself seems good, but this release on Steam really sucks. It's so weird that they even include DRM for something this old. Hard to get working on Steam Deck because of some registry requirement and even once it works making good keybinds is a bit of a hassle. Very dissapointing that there is no Steam features like cloud saves or achievements.

I really love the new RE games, and it's so easy to imagine Dino Crisis working with the new formula There's also a few things I think could be improved, like the map and inventory screens The laser beam walls would be SO COOL in a new game!!!

neutral · AI labelView post →I appreciate that this PS1 classic is available on pc, but I feel that Capcom should've put some effort into the release: modernized controls, upscaling, a bundle for 1&2, achievements, trading cards; basic stuff that would at least somewhat justify charging 10 bucks... EDIT after some controversy: I'm not saying this game needs any of the aforementioned features. I'm just saying it's overpriced for a PS1 port.
