    Review:
    First of al I wanted to say that I was a big fan of Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, although it was not developed by Frontier, I would say it is fair to compair those two games with each other, because the premise is basically the same: Build a park, put dinosaurs in the Park, satisfy your customers and DO NOT let your customers get eaten by the attractions.
    Let's start with    Review:
    First of al I wanted to say that I was a big fan of Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, although it was not developed by Frontier, I would say it is fair to compair those two games with each other, because the premise is basically the same: Build a park, put dinosaurs in the Park, satisfy your customers and DO NOT let your customers get eaten by the attractions.

    Let's start with with the things I liked about Jurassic World Evolution. Pretty much every aspect of the game that has to do with the big ol' thunder lizards feels great. They look magnificent when they roam through their habitats. You can practically feel the heavy weight of each different dinosaur with every step they make and that was one of my main expectations, because I love to watch the dinosaurs in their habitats drinking, eating and socialize with one another. Although the dinosaurs interact with each other (If they are of the same species) I would have loved it if this was more elaborate, e.g. I missed the territorial battle of herbivores like the Triceratops or Pachycephalosaurus which was a thing in JPOP, but also new stuff like Interactions of dinosaurs who aren't of the same species, like shouting at each other, right now you can get the feeling that they don't perceive the other dinosaurs even if they are in the same habitat. The exception is of course with carnivores, they fight (at least), if they are put together. Summarized the dinosaur look and feel great but there could be more fine tuning.

    Let's move to the parts which I didn't I like in Jurassic World Evolution.
    The complexity of the park management is pretty much not existent. Basically you can choose out of three options what your different shopping or food places should sell and the price. That's it. The park pretty much manages itself, which is a little odd for a park management game.
    The next point which bugged me is, that you have to place the service buildings (restaurants, shopping buildings etc) near your observing plattforms at the dino habitats so your, obviously shortsighted, visitors can fulfill their needs. This leads to repititive layouts at every habitat and lack of space in the anyway small building space that you have. I would have found it more apealing if the builidngs have more range so you can have build "service islands" like in JPOG, and have more space to build more habitats, which is the exciting part anyway.

    Conclusion:
    I am aware of that many people wanted a more strategically deeper gameplay like other Tycoon Games and honestly I would not complain about that either. But my main expections were, like I said, the Dinosaurs and that expection was fulfilled.
    So I can say, for every little John Hammond of you, who wants to spare no expenses to build their own Jurassic Park just to look at the magnificent creatures who roamed the earth 85 billion years ago, I can say go for it. I had 40 hours of fun gaming time befor the first fatigue came and I paused the game for a bigger time.
    But for players who wanted a stragically challenging game with a nice prehistoric flare to it, I must advise against this game and refer to other representatives of this genre.    … Expand

    Great visually, great choice of dinosaur. But come on, it's dinosaurs, was always going to be popular based on that alone.

    As a park creation and simulation, it's terrible - Not much choice of building, no decorative options to make parks unique, too much micro managing of menial jobs (Seriously, if it was a real park and I had rangers sitting on their ass until I physically told them to go and feed the animals, every. single. time, I would fire their ass)

    Speaking of food, the dinosaurs eat a lot and don't poop at all. Theres no interaction with customers at all, don't hear their views, opinions, what they like, what they don't blah blah blah

    And the different divisions are nonsense, they contradict themselves and just seem thoughtlessly thrown in to give the game "Missions".

    Sending expeditions and harvesting fossils is dull and too easy - also, where are the baby dinosaurs?

    Dinosaurs have no personalities whatsoever.

    I don't feel like i'm running a Dinosaur zoo at all as the managerial side of things is so thin.

    In my opinion, it feels lazy as the developers know it will sell for the fact it has dinosaurs

    If you were to swap out the dinosaurs for normal animals and call this a zoo simulator, it would be laughable. The fact it's dinosaurs is covering for this games flatness - Absolutely gutted that Frontier were given this chance and absolutely crapped on it.    … Expand

    I didn't even buy the game yet (just by watching videos and livestreams) and here's my review off a company, a good company trying to be sc*umbags and rip people off. So I"m here to save you money and wait for a sale like me.

So I"m here to save you money and wait for a sale like me.

    First off, how much money are Frontier in debt for those voice-overs and licenses? Because really, a $55 retail game with 0 campaign, no modding support and no island creator?

    Jurassic World Evolution 'campaign' isn't in-depth at all and it lacks story telling, it's very repetitive which in general will force people to get bored of the game. And of course, just like in the movies you have idiotic people in-game saying, 'We should make these Dinosaurs fight each other for research.' Really? What is that going to accomplish?

    Is it worth $55 or $60 dollars, no. Jurassic World Evolution looks like a Steam Early Access title that was released early to take advantage of sales of the newest Jurassic World movie.

    Pros:
    - Great engine
    - Art/detail
    - Music and sound effects
    - Weather
    - Drivable vehicles
    - Sandbox island (sadly it's small with boundaries)

    Cons:
    - In-game shops/stores can't sell all the items the store as to offer and than individual control each items price. Instead you have to choose 1 item, what?
    - Sandbox isn't even a gamemode, you have to create a new campaign save in order to get access to Sandbox.
    - Chris Pratt in-game character is not voice-over by Chris Pratt... Why include his icon, character and backstory in the first place?
    - Rangers don't have the ability to tranquilize a Dinosaurs.
    - Having to call in a helicopter to transport a small Dinosaur, really? Why not call in a transport truck?
    - Frontier made and published this game, but yet they didn't include nothing from Planet Coaster to this game. For one, first person viewing in rides and viewing the map as a visitor and not as a creator.

    Campaign
    - Campaign? You can't go passive and just have a park with random events. You have to go full psycho and make Dino's fight each other, etc. If I could, I would fire my whole team in-game.
    -- Speaking of the "campaign." It's repetitive. Go hear to fix a power outage, go here to take a picture, make new Dinosaurs, make Dinosaurs fight each other and make Dinosaurs get outside of their comfort zone, etc.

    AI
    - You can't tell the AI helicopter to hover in place, come back in a minute and the helicopter is landing back at base.
    - Activate the Shelter, AI don't go inside the Shelter. Instead they running around in circles or walk.
    - AI randomly go through fences and Dinosaurs AI randomly go through fences as well.

    Dinosaurs
    - Dinosaurs? For one Velociraptors are too strong? They can literally break down a electrically fence?
    -- Tranquilize a Dinosaur, they don't wake up until you get a helicopter to move them.
    -- No water Dinosaurs?
    -- The aggressive Dinosaurs don't attack the vehicles inside the enclosure.

    Islands
    - Islands? Pretty limited, a lot of islands in the "campaign" have boundaries.
    -- Sandbox island is small with boundaries.
    -- Islands don't connect to each other to share profits, etc but somehow you can share the same research.
    -- I shouldn't have to have a loading screen per island or a crap island animation video in general. Frontier you implemented Monorails in the game, why not put the person in the Monorail for the loading screen? 2 loading screens aren't needed.

    Monorail
    - Monorail? If you research for the monorail you can't make it connect to the main monorail that brings in visitors.
    -- You can't put monorail tracks outside of the island boundaries... Even though you own the island.    … Expand

    Pros
    - Lovely looking dinosaurs.
    - Scenery is pretty.
    - Music is good.
    - Simple and intuitive landscaping.

    Cons
    - Guests feel like soulless robots.
    - You can't build toilets, or bins, or benches, or anything of the sort.
    - This game appears to have less features than Operation Genesis, which came out over a decade ago.

    Cons
    -The whole process of increasing dino genomes is tedious and slow.
    -The timers remind me of a F2P mobile game.
    -Camera sometimes has a mind of its own effecting ACU helicopter controls on the odd occasion. Edge scrolling doesn't always work when you exit building stats
    -Lack of dinosaur animations, they sound and look different but do not act different.
    -Dinosaur "needs/comfort" aspect is frustrating sometimes i.e needing the exact amount of trees/same type of dinosaur feels like a chore
    and if this was not met to the exact degree dinos would go rampage.
    -Basic terrain managment
    -The whole experience felt like a waiting game, waiting for research, waiting for dig teams to return... like a F2P mobile game
    -Maps are too small
    -Lack of any form of deep managment or customisation.

    The foundations are there and im confident that FD will deliver in time. Many of the negatives can be patched and i belive JWE will be a better game in the months

    Anyone expecting a Zoo Tycoon will be disappointed. Dinosaur research and management is very well thought out. But that's where the fun ends. There is almost no theme park management whatsoever. Became pretty bored very quickly. Not to recommend for people who seek to regain the joy of video games from the olden days.

I'll have 4 shops right next to each other. 3 of them will be so busy that they stay at maximum customer capacity at all times, while the 4th one will never have any customers even if I have the store set to give away everything for free. Certain buildings cannot be constructed within a certain distance of certain other buildings because reasons. What are the reasons? who knows! Because of this and how small the islands are to begin with, the main difficulty in the campaign is just playing tetris with your stuff, trying to fit everything into the borders you are given. Well that and how long every thing takes because there is no fast forwarding in the game! Money is never a problem because while you aren't allowed to transfer money between islands, in a bizarre design choice, you ARE allowed to transfer fossils, which you can then sell for money.… Expand

Ive seen every film, bought the merch and played the better games. I love dinosaurs and even colloct fossils lol The 10 reviews are as useful as the 2 score user reviews. Ill try to find some honest middle ground.

    The game is good if you like mobile games where you wait long times with little to do. It's good if you like stats more than everything else. It's good if you love looking at dinos but not doing much with them. So for some it's good.

    For others who maybe love jurassic park or world and expected a mixture of strategy gameplay types, variety and little repitition ...maybe not so much.

    The game looks really good though it has some heavy popup and occasional glitches. It sounds great with epic music but a mix bad of film star voices and terrible impressions.

    You can drive 2 (3) vehicle types but you don't do much with them and the beautiful gets very samey quickly. Both jp world films have bikes...game has de-evolved so no bikes.
    There isnt much botany variety or options to study this important part of the film either. You can take photos but its gets boring quickly.

    It has virtually no guest management which is odd for a park sim. No children either which is just surreal for a dino park and franchise based on children in peril. The game expects you to wait long periods of time for the dinos and in that time it would have been nice to look after guests or even build a toilet or a ride...none of that basic park sim stuff.

    The maps can be quite restricting and very fiddly at times as can the dinos who aren't really like any actual real animal due to thier limited behaviour. Its a bit paper scissors rocks and when they fight the outcomes make no sense.

    A lot doesn't make sense. Especially the very crude way the staff are managed. Id have hoped for real espionage and takeover bids and the Jurassic park stuff we love but its been watered down to prompts. Many of the missions were identical and lazy with different factions asking the same requests but equally criticising you and really basic dumb sabotage not on the scale of the films.

    Microtranactions. I feel this game will be adding lits of paid dlc. Theres some free film tie in but that's actually marketing material so meh. The digital has preorder b.s. but physical copies when released in a month will have to pay for that day one removed content dlc. I found this a little shady.

    Overall i feel its one of those games which deserves an instant sequel which im sure will be infinitely more varied and interesting and fun.

    The current game seems very old fashioned and the ui is poorly presented at times. Maybe more time would have helped but they were clearly forced to releaae early due to the film tiein.

    Wait for a sale.

    Ps id have given a 7 but the microtranactions annoyed me as do these gushing 9-10 reviews for a game which just isnt as good as its predecessors and dev high pedigree. I won't give a red review as that be a joke after all the hard work the devs clearly put into this and all their titles.    … Expand

A lot of (funny) **** happens during your 'career' which you have to handle. I liked the provided information about dinosaurs.
    Annoying were the NPC-Dialogues and the try to fit the game in the film-universe.

And the main thing is that the research of new dinosaurs takes so much time to get to 100%, that you finish your island without researching all the dinosaurs and then it becomes really boring and you waste hours and hours just farming up.

    Jurassic World Evolution is a good game, but some of its elements are painfully unfinished. If you really want to build your dinosaur park, do not look any further, however, the game should definitely be a bit cheaper. [Issue#287]

    Jurassic World Evolution has its downs (e.g. when it gives you a task you are simply unable to carry out at that moment) but its ups are undeniable. The game manages to reconcile tycoon’s natural depth with accessibility and makes a great, complex use of the license. And it has Jeff Goldblum. Oh, and raptors. Damn those *#&%@ raptors! How do they manage to escape every time? Well, I guess “life, uh... finds a way”. [08/2018, p.56]

    You’d think that in a zoo, there would be a team that handles healing of animals on its own (at worst – after getting chewed out via intercom). But in Jurassic World Evolution, director has to personally oversee that process, as well as numerous other tasks. [Issue#232, p.62]
