Overall, Jurassic World Evolution 2 moves a bit quicker than its predecessor, but it still doesn’t deliver the thrills you expect from the franchise. Managing scientists is simpler than the old factions system, but it’s more satisfying. From field expeditions to research, to hatching and healing dinos, scientists are required for a long list of tasks, so you’ll be dealing with them often. Instead, the game puts a greater focus on your stable of scientists, who you recruit, train, and have to keep an eye on should they start to burn out from overwork. The game’s management elements are also largely familiar, with the biggest tweak being the removal of the various factions (Science, Entertainment, and Security) you needed to cater to in the first game. The dinos have received a nice visual makeover, although I’d say they’re still a step below the fuzzy stars of Planet Zoo in terms of animation and attention to detail, which is surprising, as these Jurassic World games have to be way more popular. The flying and water reptiles (which aren’t actually dinosaurs, as any preschooler will tell you) are a welcome addition, although building their specialized enclosures can be finicky. Of course, Jurassic World Evolution 2 offers a variety of new dino species to collect. It’s still not too terribly complex, and the game now makes it a little more clear which species will get along, so dino fights are less frequent (unless you want them to happen). Borrowing from Frontier’s own Planet Zoo, you have to be a bit more thoughtful about said enclosures, placing the right combination of forest, grass, rock, and specific plants for them to eat.
Pretty standard stuff if you’re familiar with park management sims.Ĭall of Duty: Vanguard, Battlefield 2042, and More Exciting Games Coming Out in Novemberĭinosaur behavior has received a bit of an upgrade, as different species will now stake out their own territories within enclosures. Build various gift shops, restaurants, and other amenities (there are now a greater variety of these) to bilk visitors out of some extra cash and make sure to stay on your guard should a cranky dino break out of its cage. Discover fossils, clone dinosaurs, collect cash from visitors coming to see said dinos, then use that money to repeat the process. Looking beyond modes, the way Jurassic World Evolution 2 actually plays hasn’t changed that much.
Thankfully, the Challenge and Sandbox modes offer more content and locations than in the past, which makes up for the lightness of the Campaign and Chaos Theory to some degree. As with the Campaign, there’s not a lot of challenges on offer here, and the game boxes you into playing a pretty specific way. The pitch is that you get to play through various mini campaigns inspired by the Jurassic Park franchise, and while there are a few nice little touches, the scenarios don’t actually match the events of the movies all that closely. This Campaign is more of a tutorial really, which can be finished in under five hours.Ĭhaos Theory Mode suffers a similar fate. That said, don’t expect anything particularly demanding in terms of gameplay.
It’s an interesting scenario for longtime JP fans, and the returning Jeff Goldblum and Bryce Dallas Howard lend the proceedings some authenticity (the Chris Pratt impersonator is as bad as ever though).

That movie ended with (spoiler) dinosaurs escaping the confines of the park and populating the world and Evolution 2’s Campaign serves up a series of chapters set in various dino-infested locations around North America, from the Sonoran Desert to Yosemite National Park. The Campaign has received a significant shakeup, with the somewhat longwinded and dry approach from the first game getting the boot in favor of a story that continues on from the conclusion of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. You’re faced with a lot more options when you first boot up Jurassic World Evolution 2, as Campaign, Challenge, Sandbox, and the new Chaos Theory modes are all available right from the get-go.

This time around, we’re getting more dinos (including flying and aquatic beasties), modes, and Jurassic flavor, but is this the prehistoric park builder fans have been dreaming of? Or another scaly snoozefest? Hang onto your butts, it’s time to return to Jurassic World… Well, despite their initial mixed results, Frontier Developments has tempted the forces of chaos again with Jurassic World Evolution 2. Jurassic World Evolution was a great idea on paper – who doesn’t want to play John Hammond and lord over their very own dinosaur amusement park? Unfortunately, while its reptilian stars were impressive, the game felt a bit shallow and didn’t really capture the excitement or wonder of the Jurassic Park franchise at its best.
