Jurassic World Evolution Reviews
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.
For fans of the series and simulation games, Jurassic World Evolution is a must-buy.
Jurassic World Evolution takes the true theme of the film franchise and recreates it in a splendid park sim that gives players the power to create their own theme parks full of dangerous dinosaurs. What could go wrong?
Addictive, rewarding, immersive- Jurassic World Evolution is the dinosaur management game we've been dreaming of for years, but never quite believed we'd ever get the chance to play. Frontier have created something truly special.
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.
Design, control and manage your own "Jurassic Park" in this new management game that comes from the hand of Frontier based on the new films of the franchise, but be careful not to mess up the dinosaurs!

Frontier Developments has done an amazing job with Jurassic World Evolution. Fans of the film series or those who enjoy sim management games will find plenty to keep them occupied. Jurassic World Evolution is highly recommended.
Jurassic World Evolution is one of the best games ever made based on Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park. Managing inGen would get you in front of your computer for hours.

Jurassic World Evolution strikes a chord with me, and that's evident in the amount of time I've sunk into it. The presentation is gorgeous, the mechanics are engrossing, and balancing your veggiesauraces and meatysauraces has never been fun. There's a handful of bugs to shake loose, but based on Frontier's track record I'm fairly certain that these can be shaken out post launch.
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.
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 doubt I’ll play a game in its genre which is as fun during this console generation.
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.

Despite some opaque game mechanics and missing tutorials, turns out running a dinosaur park is brilliant fun and the best time sink you can play.
Jurassic World Evolution doesn't allow for the same levels of detail as Planet Coaster, where players could build elaborate constructions limited only by their imagination.
Business management games don't come much cooler than Jurassic World Evolution, and as subject matter goes it has done the the franchise proud. The dinosaurs look fantastic, the park building is easy and coherent, and the ensuing chaos when it goes a little bit off the rails can be frantic and enthralling. It's pacing where the game struggles a little, with a few too many sedentary moments stretching your patience, but you're not likely to get any closer to building your own park packed with once extinct animals than this.
It's quite slow to start and has a pretty harsh difficulty curve, but when everything clicks, it proves to be the best use of the Jurassic licence yet. Running a park isn't easy, but incubating your first velociraptor makes it all worthwhile.
Jurassic World: Evolution is more of a pure sim game than Planet Coaster, but it does a good job of taking advantage of its license. It keeps things complicated enough to feel interesting without letting it feel out of your control.
Jurassic World Evolution sits happily in the difficulty sweet spot: it's easy enough to pick up and play that park builder novices will likely have a good time, but it's involved enough that genre veterans should enjoy it as an amusing diversion between more hardcore titles. While there's a couple of tedious processes involved, building a park is generally entertaining, and dinosaur fans – who isn't a dinosaur fan? – will likely be enamoured with the array of creatures available, and the mischief they can get up to.
