Games that let you play as a Dinosaur
Playing as a dinosaur has to be a native option, no mods. Riding on one as a mount does not count, it must be the actively controlled participant. Bonus points if they aren't a boring, abandoned in early access, multiplayer survival game or Jurassic Park related.

5 campaigns and only 2 of them force you to be a boring human, Sara Harding from the titled movie and a generic human hunter. Imagine prefering those over Compy, Raptor, and T-Rex
Also the loading screens and FMVs GO SO HARD

I remember beta testing this game. Multiplayer vs. Dinos vs humans
Humans who can turn into 5 dinosaurs or 2 stupid primates, a Sabretooth, and some val haazak looking fucker. Vice versa is also an option but why would you want to go from dinosaur to human?
Multiplayer Survival? Single Player Survival

Super Mario Odyssey (Yoshi and the realistic dino)
@NOWITSREYNTIME17 I was getting too lost in the sauce when I've now forgotten 2 very easy entries. I even mentioned Odyssey to myself while this list was in CONCEPTION!
Tekken 3 if you count Gon as a dinosaur
@VioletGogles Gon is stated to be a dinosaur in the manga source, so he counts
