Jurassic World Evolution is by no means a bad game, it can be enjoyed, it just can't be enjoyed for very long. Despite its efforts to try and have a progression system that doesn't unlock certain features until you go to a new island, there's not enough to keep the player filled with an urge to want to progress. It's clear there was a lot of passion and effort put into this game, just not all of it pans out into something totally worthwhile.

Jurassic World Evolution may not be the best theme park management game, but it's the most exciting dinosaur management game. And that's enough for us.

Jurassic World Evolution is a simply gorgeous and robust game. This multilayered gameplay experience takes place in a beautifully crafted world with lush terrain, changing weather patterns, and an incredible amount of control. Even the musical score awakens that sense of wonder and the gravity of what you are doing - you get to run Jurassic World! It is an outlier in the long line of movie-based video games, standing as a beacon of hope that it is possible for them to actually be good while staying true to their source material.

Jurassic World Evolution may not be the deepest management sim ever, but it embraces its subject matter with gusto.

Just because you can make a tycoon game about Jurassic Park doesn't mean you should.

If you like the idea of building your own dinosaur theme park and are a big fan of the franchise, then Jurassic World Evolution is still a decent buy during a sale. Just be prepared to battle with some wonky mechanics and disappointingly simple management options.

In the end, Jurassic World Evolution can never quite transcend a certain knocked-off feeling tied to its licensed roots.

In all, Jurassic World Evolution doesn't offer a simulation quite deep enough to appeal to the more hardcore management fans.

As you can tell from my review, I loved crafting my own Jurassic World parks and hatching the many dinosaurs in the game. My kids were also amazed by the dinosaurs I was creating from the genome my expeditions found. The presentation of this game is top-notch, and includes many different easy to understand mini-games that will help you make your park better. I definitively recommend you to try this game on PlayStation 4!

I must say I really enjoyed building and running my own Jurassic World park. It's not perfect, and certainly given the heritage of the developer in theme park games we possibly could have expected a bit more from it, but you just never know what DLC and the ongoing development promised of the game might bring.

Jurassic World Evolution tries to please movie fans with familiar music, returning characters and awesome visuals. But if you dig deeper, it quickly becomes clear that Frontier's game is like a dino with a half of genome – it looks good, growls and runs, but is not capable to live for long.

Overall, Jurassic World Evolution really excels in some places but gets wrapped up in trying to replicate movie-type arcs.

Jurassic World Evolution is a very pretty looking game, but one that doesn't have a lot going on under the hood. It can be infuriating, engaging and baffling in equal measure, but is only really made for the most diehard of Jurassic Park fans.

Your enjoyment of Jurassic World Evolution is going to depend on what you're looking for from a park management sim. If you want a full campaign without worrying about minutiae, then you'll find this to be a well-done take on the genre that looks stunning and sounds very nice. If you want freeform play from the beginning, you'll come away disappointed at what this package offers. Evolution is still a good use of the license, but you can't shake the feeling that it could have been better.

It is not perfect, but it is still amusing world of hypnotic dinosaurs. And not only for Jurassic movies fans.

Jurassic World: Evolution is Not Evolved Yet for sure and It has a long way to evolution. it is a park simulation game that has a good graphic with beautiful various Dinosaur design but the Worst problem of it, is tiredness after some days of managing in your Park and lack of more challenge for you to handle. only if you are a fan of Jurassic movies or Dinosaurs, Jurassic World Evolution can be good for you.

However, Jurassic Park Evolution could have been an amazing game if the developers had just used some of the staple elements of park simulation games from the past. You know, like that Theme Park game that launched in 1994?.

Frontier showed that they can do a lot more than just roller coaster theme park games. It’s amazing to know how studios push themselves to give out the best experience to players. Setting aside the game’s performance since a future patch can fix it and it’s not entirely game breaking, Jurassic World Evolution never fails to amaze me when it comes to its variety of dinosaurs, deep gameplay mechanics, and incredible visuals. It’s a Jurassic Park builder you never want to miss.

Jurassic World Evolution is fantastically linked to Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. It was great to see 3 movie franchise actors lend their voices to their in-game counterparts. In terms of gameplay, it offers a fun to play dinosaur park management experience, although future updates will control it’s success as new dinosaurs are the only fresh element currently from last week’s update so far.
