Jurassic World Evolution 2 Reviews

Jurassic World Evolution 3 is without a doubt the absolute best dino park management game that has ever been made. Any of the issues or complaints I had from the first two games have either been improved on or completely eradicated. The campaign and challenge modes are worth checking out, but you'll find yourself absolutely absorbed by building and maintaining your park in the sandbox mode. It's a magnificent blend of nostalgia and contemporary game design, and is well worth dumping hours of your life into.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is an accessible, well-polished simulation/building hybrid from the developers over at Frontier. The campaign isn’t a real campaign, just a tutorial. The additional Jurassic Park: Chaos Theory missions are where the fun can be found. The weak points are the lack of depth and freedom in terms of building a unique park. Maybe it’ll happen in the third installment? A new film is coming after all, perhaps it’ll be a case of third time’s a charm?

Frontier Developments recently released Jurassic World Evolution 2 which is a buggier version of the first game but with more modes.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 builds on the foundation of its predecessor to create a memorable and addictive park management sim.

In this review, we’ll be taking a look at Jurassic World Evolution 2– which follows up the weirdly enjoyable Jurassic World Evolution- park sims based on the popular pro-ethics propaganda book Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton.

When a title gets a grand number, it’s a video-game worth spending your whole life in.

As a celebration of all things Jurassic, Jurassic World Evolution 2 serves as a worthy successor to the original. As a park management game, it struggles to find a meaningful focal point. Given Frontier’s expertise in this exact department elsewhere, that’s more than a little disappointing. A light, messy sim that acts as a tribute to the prehistoric pandemonium of the Jurassic Park/World series.

A management sim that shines when things go wrong.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a park building simulation that brings all of the right elements from a well-established intellectual property. It’s the follow-up to the 2018 original, and hopes to act as an overall celebration of the franchise from its inception to now. It does this by offering two separate story modes in which you can either follow on from where Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom left off in a new story, or look back and take part in ‘What If?’ scenarios within the previous...

While it doesn't go crazy, Jurassic World Evolution 2 has almost perfected dinosaur-theme-park managers. Just ignore the weird voices and occasional bugs.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 builds on its predecessor’s framework to create a super-satisfying park management sim with the occasional raptor attack.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is endless fun for a fan of the blockbuster franchise. A large library of species to unlock and study, bioengineering, and the ability to revisit iconic moments from the movies makes it an easy recommendation for anyone looking for their fix of Jurassic content. Even as a park manager, the game is quite satisfying, aside from some light frustrations here or there.

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. Well, despite their initial mixed results, Frontier Developments has tempted the forces of chaos again with Jurassic World Evolution 2.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is the perfect sequel- it's bigger, better, and toothier than its predecessor in almost every way that matters.

Overall though, Jurassic World Evolution 2 is well worth the money. It’s an expansive game that has a little bit of everything for everyone without skipping a beat. There is nostalgia, challenge, and just pure fun. You get science and you get entertainment park, and a lot more. I can say, having put nearly 100 hours into Jurassic World Evolution, picking up the sequel feels like a new experience.

My favorite building sim of all time was, and remains, Frontier’s Planet Coaster. It’s a colorful, easy to get into theme park sim that is both immediately rewarding and infinitely deep. When the folks at Frontier announced Planet Zoo I was beyond thrilled, but ultimately disappointed in the final product because it was — and still is — a somewhat overly dry and complex sim, despite its incredibly well rendered animals and biomes. The original Jurassic Park Evolution was also, unfortunately, a bit of a letdown, a shallow, slow moving and kind of buggy game that had too little of the expected wonder and potential chaos we’d expect from a title that was all about managing — and inevitably unleashing — dinosaurs. Frontier must have paid attention, because “chaos” is hard wired into one of Jurassic Park Evolution 2’s main modes.

Jurassic World Evolution 2 makes significant changes to the DNA of its predecessor, but ends up right back where it started: a magnificent feat of adaptation stretched over the bones of an inconsistent management game.

The only downside of having a game packed with tons of features and gameplay mechanics is that it is easy to get overwhelmed. Not to mention, Jurassic World Evolution 2's in-depth user interface and menu system can also get confusing, especially for beginners. However, all these minor issues wash away with practice, and the customization options allow players to tone down the difficulty to their liking. In the end, Jurassic World Evolution 2 is an excellent sequel to the first game. Not only did Frontier manage to implement fan feedback, but it also introduced new features that make managing a dinosaur park a rewarding experience.

A bigger and better sequel which works as both a compelling management sim and a celebration of the Jurassic Park franchise.

If you enjoyed the original game, Jurassic World Evolution 2 is sure to bring you hours of entertainment (not including the "campaign"). However, for players hoping for more than a full priced DLC, disappointment is unavoidable.

While Jurassic World Evolution marked a rock-solid dry run for Frontier's prehistoric theme park management sim, Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a meaningful, erm, evolution, with the new Chaos Theory mode providing engaging scenarios in which you can attempt to set things right. A diverse suite of modes and slick interfaces ensures Jurassic World Evolution 2's status as an excellent sequel.

Improves on its predecessor in clever ways and still boasts the most gorgeous dinosaurs ever made in a game. But dealing with disastrous events beyond your control still isn't any fun, even if it's thematic for the Jurassic Park IP.

Dr. Wu is Jurassic World's Dr. Frankenstein – a mad scientist who creates new life by sewing together the DNA of different dinosaurs. His hybrids are more capable hunters, better suited to handle harsh climates, and are far more terrifying than the Tyrannosaurs rex. In Jurassic World Evolution 2, we see Frontier Developments taking a cue from Dr. Wu. The dinosaurs players interact with are more aware of their surroundings, can find their own food, and even learn to hunt in packs. The skeletal framework that brings this simulation to life is the same as its precursor, but everything around it is evolved or changed. These changes make for more dynamic and challenging play, but not always for the better.

It seems that even though Jurassic World Evolution has evolved into this glorious sequel, you still have to deal with Velociraptors.

Whether you’re a seasoned Jurassic World Evolution player or brand new to the franchise, I can guarantee you that you will have a blast with Jurassic World Evolution 2. While I think a couple of things could be tweaked to make certain things more obvious, it doesn’t stop you from having an absolutely wonderful time playing the game. The addition of the flying and aquatic dinosaurs has been excellent, and I really hope for more content and DLC to go along with it!

Jurassic World Evolution 2 is bigger, better, and bolder, and smooths off some of the original’s rough edges. Frontier has tinkered with the management sim aspects, and brought in a canonical campaign into the mix that follows directly on from the events in Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, but the dinosaurs remain the star of the show. If you’re a fan of the franchise – and really, who doesn’t love uncontrollable carnivores? – then Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a perfect sequel.
