    Sure it has some flaws but nothing game breaking and nothing that can't be fixed with future updates...the pros far outweigh the cons ... for what it is this game is amazing...and just like the first jurassic park movie being revolutionary at the time this game marks a new era in dinosaur video games...the future of jurassic park games is looking amazing...can't wait to see what will come next.

    Resource Management game,
    Build a Park, maintain it, keep customers happy, build atractions and such...
    All in all? a good time.

    ...

    Then Dinossaur happen.
    THEN IT BECOMES AWESOME,
    BUILD A PARK, MAINTAIN IT, KEEP CUSTOMERS HAPPY, BUILD ATRACTIONS AND BREED DINOS!
    Then when you unlock the Sandbox mode, re-create the movies with some Violently-Awesome results!

    ALL IN ALL? A GREAT TIME!

    - Huge species variety and beautiful textures and behaviors.
    - Carnivore and even herbivore aggression is heightened so assets out of containment can actually be a big threat to guest safety and satisfaction.
    - Great implementation of attractions from the most recent JW movie - For JP skins, the classic JP Jeep is unlock able
    - Excellent terraforming.
    - Awesome soundtrack and transitioning.

    Cons:
    - Ranger vehicle health level.
    - Guest retail interactions and souvenir purchases are not visible.
    - Entry monorail connectivity.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For this game I would rate 10/10 because it has great graphics, a wide variety of dinosaurs and plenty of real world scenarios. This game is a park management sim. It is not an action packed game. But it does keep you on your toes. You have to keep the dinosaurs happy, otherwise they will want to get out. You have to keep the guests happy, that is where you get your money. And most important, you have to keep the divisions of the park happy or they will start sabotaging your park. This game has enough content that after playing for almost a month with multiple hours a day, I still have not built a park on every island or unlocked every dinosaur. There can be many set backs like hurricanes and tornadoes that damage buildings or shut down the power. You have to stay on top of everything. My favorite mechanic is the expeditions. I like the surprise of fossils i have uncovered. I love to multitask so this game is perfect for me and others who like a game that they have to do multiple things at once. But this is not an action packed shooter, other than when you have to tranquilize an animal, so if you like action packed games, this may not be for you.… Expand

Something, which will become even better in Frontier Development's hands after launch with additional content. The studio is known for listening to the fan requests and expanding on the game will definitely happen.
    While the game falls a little bit short in a few aspects as of now, mainly due to the release of the Jurassic World film that rushed the developers with making this project, nothing in this title is game breaking by any means.
    It has no bugs, at all. My playthrough on all islands was a very calm and pleasant experience and I enjoyed every bit of it making my own dinosaur paradise.
    Now I'm onto creating it in sandbox mode and having a great time.
    Fallen Kingdom DLC with new dinosaurs is already being released today, for free. If the fanbase will want it, and it wants it, aquatic and flying creatures will be a thing added in the future among other features.    … Expand

    In production - the fifth in the film on the franchise Jurassic Park. Excuse me, for some time already Jurassic World. Everything began with the revolutionary picture of Steven Spielberg, shot back in 1993, - the special effects and the idea were also good. The whole world believed that a dinosaur can be cloned by getting its DNA from a mosquito stuck in an amber with a drop of bloodIn production - the fifth in the film on the franchise Jurassic Park. Excuse me, for some time already Jurassic World. Everything began with the revolutionary picture of Steven Spielberg, shot back in 1993, - the special effects and the idea were also good. The whole world believed that a dinosaur can be cloned by getting its DNA from a mosquito stuck in an amber with a drop of blood inside. There was a wave of dinosauromania, which sort of seemed to disappear over time, but the release of the film "The World of the Jurassic Period" by Colin Trevorow showed that not until the end. The picture collected huge money, Universal Studios believed in the power of the ancient lizards - and therefore the next movie will be attached and the game. Not a traditional artisan craft, just to buy, but a high-budget economic strategy from the studio Frontier - the one that is responsible for the series Elite Dangerous and Rollercoaster Tycoon.
    And this, you know, means something. Most of all, Jurassic World Evolution recalls (even externally) the previous creation of the studio: the game Planet Coaster. The very place where we are offered to build an amusement park, filling it with roller coaster of our own production and design. On the one hand, a sandbox with almost unlimited space for creativity. On the other hand, there is a good economic model behind all of this, and to make your park profitable, you need to think hard.
    Here the basics are about the same. In stock - a very flexible editor of everything in the world, which allows you to dig at least the entire island you have allocated, filling it with vegetation, water, hills and hollows - or just smooth everything and create on a surface smooth as a table. It's obviously not the attractions with trolleys that need to be created, but the pens for dinosaurs. Creativity in this is much less - in fact, you only need to protect the territory, stick a gate somewhere, a feeder, a drinking bowl, perhaps something else special - say, thick bushes, without which this particular dinosaur will quickly fade, and that's all. Dino is grazing himself, the visitors are looking at him and are happy, sending money to your bottomless pocket. And at the same time they buy hot dogs in carefully placed stalls, live in hotels, ride in trolleys, visit museums and exhibitions ... But then the nuances begin. To begin with, dinosaurs must be taken from somewhere. And for this - to build a research center, in it to equip expeditions for the remains in search of the surviving elements of DNA. And it's unlikely that you'll immediately find enough material to clone a full-fledged dinosaur. At first, you will have to grow sickly and sickly, based on 50% of their genetic code. But the more data, the more healthy individuals will be born, and in time they can be modified: to plant the gene of some frog or snake for better survival. Such a copy will attract more visitors. A completely new kind of creation will not work out, but some number of hybrids, consistent with the movie, in the game still will be.
    The more research - the more different dinosaurs, the better they are of quality. And the more, respectively, requires the territory for their resettlement and maintenance. And, what is most amusing, a lot of actions in the game developers offer to perform manually. It hatched into the light, say, tritseratops. He himself does not teleport to the cage. First you need to put the louse to sleep. You can make an order for a special group - it will fly out on a helicopter and for a while will chase the individual until it injects enough tranquilizers into it. Now the turn of another unit is transport. They need to give the order to pick up the triceratops on another helicopter and drag it to where it says. And all this can be done in general. To intercept the control of the first helicopter, fly to wherever you need, switch to a rifle, shoot yourself (and by the way, it's not so easy to hit - darts do not fly straight, but on a ballistic trajectory), move the carcass ... Very atmospheric in fact, but everything depends on that , in what you want to play - in the simulator of the transport service or still in the park's director. I hope, in the final version still there will be an opportunity to make elementary actions in two cliques.
    Similarly, the service of feeding dinosaurs, and doctors. Do you want - give the order to bring a new goat to the slaughter of the ty-reks, you want - carry it yourself. But so that it happens at all without your participation ... Well, at least not in the version in which I played.    … Expand

    When I play a game I do so as an achievement hunter. I am always looking for that Platinum Trophy and because of that I rate games not only on the game but on the enjoyment I get out of getting 100% completion in terms of achievements.

    After reading several reviews on this game giving it a negative score I had my doubts. After playing this game I realize all those negative reviews are    When I play a game I do so as an achievement hunter. I am always looking for that Platinum Trophy and because of that I rate games not only on the game but on the enjoyment I get out of getting 100% completion in terms of achievements.

    After reading several reviews on this game giving it a negative score I had my doubts. After playing this game I realize all those negative reviews are coming from those who either played the game for 5 minutes, don't like dinosaurs, or don't like park sims. I have unlocked a few of the islands now, still a few more to go and I have to say this game is a time sink of enjoyment. I started playing and next time I looked at a clock 5 hours had passed without me even realizing it. Current score 10/10.

    The graphics in the game are great, animations of the dinosaurs are amazing. Some reviews are saying that the game animations are repetitive, well ya the developers cannot include 100 animations per one dinosaur, sorry all! I spent more time managing my park and creating dinosaurs then watching their animations. What I have had time to look at so far is eating, drinking, running walking, playing and talking with fellow herd members, hunting etc. There are plenty of animations to make it feel real to me. The landscape and buildings also look crisp and clean. Current score 10/10.

    Building the park and park management will take up most of your time and fulfilling quests given to you by your peers (different divisions in the park) from digging up fossils to doing research, restocking food, doing repairs, medicating dinos, selling dinos, discarding dead dinos and placing buildings for your park and entertaining guests. When building your park the customization is limited, you cannot put benches, or light posts or all the itty bitty things. For me however I find that level of customization difficult and was why I could not get into a game like planet coaster. Yes Frontier made both games. The customization comes in the form of gene splicing your dinos and adding new genomes. The management aspect of this game was perfect for me. Current score 10/10.

    Sound and speech was great, from cast members of the Jurassic Park films making a return to add their voice to the great T-Rex and that amazing roar. Dinos in herds also make noises to each other and people scream when being chased by escaped dinosaurs. Current score 10/10.

    Some reviews I read especially from well known critics shocked me, especially one that said the dinos were constantly breaking fences and escaping and it was just a rinse and repeat cycle. I have never had a dinosaur escape except by a quest given by peers to catch it. When you select any dinosaur in it enclosure it is basically like a sim, make sure all its needs are met and it will be happy as a clam. Some dinos like forests, others like none, some like meat, others like plants. Some like huge herds, others want to be solitary, all want a source of water which is just obvious. To the ones who wrote the review of escaped dinosaurs you have to play the game longer then 5 minutes and select a dino to see they have needs that have to be met. In a normal park sim you focus on your customer needs, where here you focus on the dino needs. If a dino is happy your guests are happy and the money will come rolling in. There is a small aspect of guest happiness, just make sure they have places to eat, sleep, shop, and view the dinos. Current score 10/10.

    I really have nothing bad to say about this game and in terms of an achievement hunter all can be achieved by simply playing the game and doing the tasks associated with it. Nothing difficult here or that will make you pull your hair out. No save scumming needed! I Highly endorse this park. Current score 10/10.

    Pros: Everything, if you want to sit back relax and make some dinosaurs then this game is for you.

    Cons: I have found no issues but remember this game is not a hardcore customization park sim, if that is what you want you will not find it here.    … Expand

    This game is really fantastic! The dinosaurus are so incredibly realistic, the effect on the dinosaurus when it rains is beautiful. When they walk, you can see the dust light up beneath their feet. And the most wonderful thing according to me, is the possibilty to drive between your own dinosaurus, it's like you are really there. The graphics are really beautiful as well. I recommend this game.

I admit, JWE has a lot of chance & spot to improve its gameplay deepthness on its sequel (if any). so far, im so satisfied with the current game form (consider there is no other game which offer similiar magnificence ancient creature tycoon like JWE! good work!

    this 10/10 review is nothing but to raise a change of frontier to make a game sequel (well, if any),
    i really appreciate & so glad that this game has been made. frontier has a lot of chance to improve & it can be applied on the JWE's sequel! but at least the current game foundation has been strong entertaining enough (current JWE).

    several things that i think should be & can be improved was :
    1. there is no access & any additional features for all guest related building, what we can do is only build it (or demolish it to earn some money) & see it attract the visitors (visitors come & by), thats all. well at least i expect we can see the guest related building door opens when the visitors come by, but this is not (visitors come through a passive doors). very lack of depthness,

    well you can clearly see 2 things
    a. frontier doesnt concern on those detail so deep (the whole game graphic is the higher target)
    b. frontier has lack of time on thinking about the building operational details

    2. We have no acces to see how viewing vents looks like. in JPOG, we can click the viewing vent & see how we can view the dinos as if we are the visitors, its beautiful & show how decent our viewing vent as a connector of the visitors to see the dinos.

    Same with the transportation train, it would be so new & beautiful if we can see how it looks like from the inside of the train while its moving around the park,

    well im so sad that this kind of basic things is lack on the game,
    please, you build a viewing facility but know nothing how it looks like, i mean, how is my dinos looks like from that viewing vent, i dont know. but i build it & pretending that view has been satisfying enough for the visitors.

    3. i bet a lot of JPOG fans think about this. well on its high end jurassic world game version, we hope there will be an aerial & aquatic dinos (alongside with its related park facility). but yeah, it havent happened yet. seems like frontier cannot release a bigger effort for it (i dont know why). if there is, it would be fantastic (since it might be the 1st game that consider about the aerial & aquatic dinos).

    well it just my big dream,
    at least so far JWE has offer remarkable overhaul on the JP's tycoon simulator game.

    while playing this game, i feel my dream on seeing a new model of a JPOG's game has been come true. but at the same time, JWE's still left some missing things which make me keep dreaming about it.    … Expand

Un juego 3A de gestión. Solo recapitular lo que tuvo que pasar para que el milagro ocurriera. Primero Una franquicia de tamaño jurásico (PUN INTENDED) en su peak. Activo involucramiento no solo de las estrellas de las nuevas películas, sino también los de las antiguas. Pero por sobre todo que Frontier hizo un muy buen juego. Hacer Jurassic Park, pero bien, ese es el trabajo que tenemos entre manos y cala en ese perfecto punto medio que le permite al juego esquivar las dos criticas potencialmente más letales (1- Es su juego de zoo en una jurassic park skin. 2- Es un Jurassic Park cash grab). El juego es robusto, de partida hacer que esta vez jurassic park salga bien es mas inspirador que manejar un zoo, luego tienes sistemas para cuidar tanto dinosaurios como visitantes. El entorno como diria iam malcom tiende al caos, cuando ya te lo aprendes todo es facil y el juego hace lo que puede por llevarte de la mano, pero perfectamente puede darse que se te pase algo y pierdas en la campaña.
    Es ese momento lo más hermoso de este juego, como pasa de la táctica a la estrategia y como la planificación astuta y cuidadosa hace que las 5 estrellas sean pan comido o el mismisimo infierno sobre la tierra en caso de tomar decisiones equivocadas en la construcción del parque.
    Gráficos son la leche, la hostia, la tierra prometida, cierto que palidecen si los comparamos con un gears of war, pero nosotros los de gestion solemos jugar juegos con motores gráficos del milenio pasado. Los dinosaurios se ven bastante vivos por decirlo de alguna forma.

    A fun, relaxing game, faithful to the movie franchise. Interesting concept and very good technical and graphical execution. Dinosaurs look great, you can drive the jeeps, pilot helicopters or ride a gyrosphere through your self designed dinosaur park.

    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]
