Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a must-have game for all those who grew up with Jurassic Park or who are newly hooked on Jurassic World. A game of construction and management much deeper and more complete than its first installment.

This is a real treat for Jurassic World fans. Evolution may have laid the ground work, but Evolution 2 manages to improve upon the issues of its predecessor and offer some really tasty, enjoyable, and quality content that will satisfy those familiar with the franchise while creating a really great jumping on point for those who’ve never visited before. Easily one of the best Jurassic World games of all time.

If you like dinosaurs and enjoyed the possibilities of appearance and characteristics modification for each species, you certainly appreciated the previous game in the franchise. However, I believe the enhancements to the interface and the player experience along with the big additions to animals and nature elements are already enough to give this new adventure a try.

Successful return to dino world with big role of scientists. Well, but with some old failings and weak campaign. But there is much better Chaos theory an Challenge modes.

The constant threat of chaos adds tension and fun to an otherwise basic management sim.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is by no means perfect. It pales in comparison to some of the other sim type games with its lack of options in certain aspects, however, if you are looking to have a more casual - yet still challenging - sim experience, and you want that Jurassic Park theme, then you shouldn't think twice about picking this up.

There's still some way to go to make the JWE franchise a viable management sim, but this sequel goes a long way to right a lot of its predecessor's wrongs.

Jurrasic World: Evolution 2 will not impress genre players. Although it seems that the game has all the necessary components for this, this is not the case. It is a good fun for novices and lovers of prehistory.

On a next-gen console and an 8K TV, the dinosaurs look absolutely amazing and there is a surprisingly relaxing time to be had watching them going about their dinosaur lives, eating and drinking and wandering around. At least, that’s how it always starts. Then later there’s running and screaming – especially if you don’t keep your dinosaurs content or the power grid fails and the bigger, nastier, more carnivorous ones get out of their enclosures and decide to snack on some guests instead of the goats you’ve so generously been providing them.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 builds on its predecessor's framework to create a super-satisfying park management sim with the occasional raptor attack.

While it doesn't go crazy, Jurassic World Evolution 2 has almost perfected dinosaur-theme-park managers. Just ignore the weird voices and occasional bugs.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is endless fun for a fan of the blockbuster franchise. A large library of species to unlock and study, bioengineering, and the ability to revisit iconic moments from the movies makes it an easy recommendation for anyone looking for their fix of Jurassic content. Even as a park manager, the game is quite satisfying, aside from some light frustrations here or there.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 expands its prehistoric playground with more dinosaurs, modes, and unique franchise flavor, but it's all built on a flawed and often frustrating foundation of unbalanced and unpolished mechanics. Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a better game than its predecessor, but it feels like a glorified expansion. Those looking for a more substantial sequel may want to spare the expense this time.

This then is the challenge with Jurassic World Evolution 2. If you're a Jurassic Film fan who also likes micromanagement, there's certainly enough meat on its dinosaur bones to keep you happy for a good long while. However, if you're more just a management sim fan, you'll probably find its quirky management style – sometimes hands-on, sometimes hands-off – a tad irritating, as well as the limitations of its console controls.

This sequel is a great step forward in the saga, showing a much broader and more complex gameplay. Without a doubt, something that fans will appreciate since now they will be able to control many more aspects of both the park itself and the animals themselves. Taking Planet Zoo as a reference, Frontier offers us a much more complete experience, both for its own gameplay and for its game modes and simply for its breadth

‎Jurassic World Evolution 2 turns our classic dinosaur park into a huge dinosaur shelter. But a wilder, more detailed, demanding and, ultimately, more spectacular. Those who are fond of the license, will find a game that pampers every aspect related to dinosaurs and their enjoyment. Those who are fans of the genre, will find a more complete game and a more demanding point than its first installment, which if anything sinned was to be too soft for the most experts.‎

There’s genuine fun to be had with Jurassic World Evolution 2. Chaos mode and the sandbox give you a lot of options to really build the park of your dreams. When even the game’s best modes are fairly flawed, though, it becomes hard to recommend all, but the biggest Jurassic Park fans dig into this one. Players who can play on PC will almost certainly find a game that controls better, but while that’s an issue, it isn’t the only problem here. Sadly, a different control scheme isn’t going to solve Jurassic World Evolution 2’s most significant issues.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is an improved version of the first installment, eliminating the worst parts of micromanagement, and adding new scenarios and dinosaurs. If you liked the aspect related to the care of the animals of the first one, you are going to like this one much more. Now, if you were disappointed with the little management that exists in that game, you are going to continue the same with this one.

Despite having many of the same issues as its predecessor, Jurassic World Evolution 2 is still an enjoyable dino simulator that's easy to jump into.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a true nostalgia operation, a perfectly successful tribute to the films of the saga created by Crichton and a joy for those who as a child spent hours and hours admiring dinosaurs in books. Unfortunately, the merits of the Frontier management system stop here, because if you analyze the individual elements of the gameplay you soon realize the limits imposed by a game loop that runs out quickly and in which you have to intervene too frequently due to an intrusive micromanagement that breaks the flow.
