    I've platinumed the first JW:E on the PS4.

    Finished the Campaign and it was a more of a Tutorial than a story driven campaign. Gives a bit of a clue where the new movie is heading towards though. Chaos Theory is an interesting 'What if' scenario to all 4 movies. Nearly finished the JP one. Graphics even though good, I thought they would at least have some ray tracing in game    I've platinumed the first JW:E on the PS4.

    Finished the Campaign and it was a more of a Tutorial than a story driven campaign. Gives a bit of a clue where the new movie is heading towards though. Chaos Theory is an interesting 'What if' scenario to all 4 movies. Nearly finished the JP one.

    Graphics even though good, I thought they would at least have some ray tracing in game especially the water reflections. Pretty disappointing for a next gen console. Dinos have new animations that are really cool, like the Carnotaurus resting on it's tail like a kangaroo.

    Planning your dino enclosures is more thorough implementing food types for Herbivores which they got from Claire's Sanctuary DLC from JW:E. There's no longer a plant dispenser so the Herbivores can just eat the foliage that you plant in their enclosures.

    Ranger's roles are now just patrolling and repair. There's a mobile vet team that handles dino injuries and sickness. They also have a station where you can send the seriously injured dinos in for emergency surgery with a magic spray machine : D

    Mechanics have been expanded where it can get very tedious. The most annoying part is the scientists and Hatchery having a 2 step method to freaking hatch the eggs.

    Couple of good additions is good and bad dino perks in the DNA sequencing. So you'll roughly 6 eggs and 3 out of the 6 eggs could have negative traits like aggression and anti social behaviours. So you might have to discard the eggs or if your not financially sound just go with it and risk a disaster happening at your park.

    Improvement to the shops, food and drinks where you can provide to different types of crowds. All the shops looks can be customised and renamed to really make it unique from each other.

    Overall, I find the game alright. I really preferred the island hopping in the first one where you can go back and fix. With JW:E 2 although improved, it made the small things too tedious.

    Making a new game with enough new content to be DLC for the first game? Not only that, but repeating the same mistakes? Good job Frontier... I hope you get out of Universal trouble and make great games like Planet Zoo and Planet Coaster.

    El agregado de dinos marinos esta muy bien. El exceso de eventos climatologicos, el agregado de los cientificos y médicos arruinan el juego. La campaña no es más que un tutorial de 5 horas. La falta de sombras cuando se activa el zoom out en todo el mapa es algo para arreglar en la primer actualización.

    Since I was born I have been a fan of Jurassic Park. So no matter how much it costs or how great or bad it is, I end up buying the product almost every time. The game is good, it shows that they put a lot of effort into it, a lot of DLC's too, but it just always bores you, creating a park and maintaining it, etc. etc etc True fans are waiting for a good JP game.

    A park management game that makes keeping all the plates spinning on a controller feel natural. Unfortunately, the dinosaurs too often feel sidelined. [Issue#9, p.88]

    Jurassic World Evolution 2 brings many good novelties to the tried and tested formula of the original, but still represents a title only for the most patient fans of dinosaurs and managerial simulations. If those even exist.

    Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a solid sequel to the already decent predecessor. It presents the player with a larger selection of dinosaurs, a welcome addition of visitor management and some various tweaks and additions that overall make the game experience much more realistic and enjoyable. It falls a bit with its too “micromanage-y” systems at some points and lacklustre campaign, but it is a sure sight of joy for any fans of tycoon games and Jurassic series alike.
