Frontier follows up Planet Coaster with a licensed park simulator, with varied results.
IGN
Besides the fact that there's absolutely no evolution involved in it, Jurassic World: Evolution is a bad game because it's just a bore of a park sim. Sure, the dinosaurs look nice enough, but the process of unlocking new species is beyond tedious and actually running the business is shallow and quickly gets stale. It beats getting mauled by raptors, but after careful consideration, I've decided not to endorse this park.
PC Gamer
Initially stunning but lacking the depth and variety to support mammoth playtimes.
Metro GameCentral
Probably the best ever use of the Jurassic Park licence in a video game, marred by repetition and exploitable systems.
