Jurassic World Evolution Reviews
Somehow, even dinosaurs aren’t enough to save a disappointing and middling park sim that undermines its own fun with poor design choices
In all, Jurassic World Evolution doesn't offer a simulation quite deep enough to appeal to the more hardcore management fans.
It's a mostly enjoyable experience, with a few dull moments here and there, that should keep the majority of players happy. Having a deep management simulation is a matter of perspective after all. To some, this may seem lacking, to others it might seem like there is a lot going on. Either way you see it, it's a good effort at trying to bring the management sim to a bigger audience.
The best bits of this dino-business-management game roar into action when disaster strikes, but too much of it is repetitive
Probably the best ever use of the Jurassic Park licence in a video game, marred by repetition and exploitable systems.
Jurassic World: Evolution can be really boring, yet really rewarding and I didn't feel it hit the perfect balance.
In its current state Jurassic World Evolution is entertaining, but barebones as a business sim. Where Frontier really got things right was the dinosaurs themselves, they are simply the best versions of these prehistoric creatures in video games to date
When you hatch and release a dinosaur, see it roam out into the paddock, drive the Rangers jeep and even see a live goat destroyed by a T-Rex all add together to make a memorable experience; one that just seems to pitter out too soon, especially when you look at the standard of the developers of park based title Planet Coaster.
Despite the variety of tasks to manage throughout, there are remarkably few ways in which to handle them.
An enjoyable management sim 65 million years in the making.
As a simulation game veteran, I can say this lives up to all what I expected and more. The game is easy to get into, has its share of challenges and as well as the fun stuff, along with the odd sad dino death. Circle of life and all that.
Jurassic World Evolution is a lot of fun. An incredibly polished park management sim, wrapped in a gorgeously nostalgic package. Frontier continue to showcase their talent for creating these kind of games, but unfortunately a lack of depth lets the game down.
In the world of computer games, licensed products are rarely very successful. Hence we should be all the more grateful for Jurassic World Evolution and the level of quality in delivers. The creators of Planet Coaster have created an interesting, atmospheric and challenging game taht looks and sounds gorgeous. Behold, ladies and gentlemen! Here comes one of the best strategy games of 2018.

The concept is great, but the execution falls short of expectations.
Jurassic World: Evolution might not be the deepest RTS out there in terms of options and mechanics, but as far as Jurassic Park experiences go, this is probably the best one that exists out there.
Jurassic World Evolution is one of the most beautiful park builder games out there, and we love the way dinosaurs are recreated from the movie. It is also easy enough to let newcomers enjoy this genre. Sometimes we felt progress is too slow even for a strategy game.

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

A solid framework for a game without any legs. Try it, or wait for an expansion to flesh things out.
An experience that lives up to the wonderful visuals.
Jurassic World Evolution is an easy to pick up title featuring great looking dinosaurs and solid park building elements. There is undoubtedly a lack of “fluff,” to beautify your park outside of the required buildings and pathways, but it's something that can be easily solved via patches. Frontier has already committed to supporting the title with new dinosaurs. Things can become quite chaotic when enclosures start to fail during a massive storm, and you lose power at the same time. Not to mention you are facing diseases and balancing the safety of the guests while providing sheer entertainment.
