    Jurassic World Evolution was never a perfect game, but there were some fans of the Jurassic Park franchise that felt it was worth their time. Despite the shallow simulation aspects and repetitive tasks forced on them, many players still enjoyed creating and admiring the various dinosaurs in their park. Because of the poor graphics on the Nintendo Switch version of Jurassic World Evolution, however, there is little here to keep players entertained - and those interested in the premise are better off revisiting its previous platforms instead.

I did the campaign of main story and all DLCs, and it was fun. I'm doing the challenge mode to get all skins now. I must say that if it's your first time playing this kind of game, it may be tiresome or boring sometimes, however, when you get used to, it's way funny and entertaining. I must point that, so far, it's kinda blurry on handheld mode, but with every update it seems it's sighly better on hand-held. Docked it looks brilliant, so far, most times it goes 30 FPS but if there are a lot of items onscreen it may go down from 30 to 25, also, rarely, during auto saving, screen may freeze (however it seems it's my TV, not game itself since this does not happen while handheld). If we talk about content, frontier gave us a 120$ game+dlc for 60$< which is quite nice, however we're missing only the Vivid pattern Ankylosaurus skin (which, in my opinion, looks like jungle one). I would have loved some amphibians, Crocs or any aquatic reptiles, as so far we only got Pteranodon as the only non-dino in our parks. There's nothing else I must say about, besides obviously, that it looks like if you we're playing on middle graphics on a PC (720p docked and 540p on hand-held), however if you like the game, on dock graphics aren't gonna be a trouble, on handheld however I recommend taking breaks sometimes since it may be possible that your eyes "feel heavy" since you gotta force vision. But that's all, I really enjoyed it, and if you like park simulations and dinosaurs, I recommend this game.… Full Review »

It is surprisingly deep for a Jurassic Park builder where you can even manage what the gift shops in your park is selling and manage how your dinosaurs are feeling. The variety of dinosaurs is very good and all the different colours and mutations you can add to boost their rating and other aspects. I like how the three factions in game complemented each other as they all had different ideas and made you go and think in different directions. The voice acting however is not the best but its passable. The gameplay is fun and letting dinosaurs loose on the park can also be fun. I even got a bit panicked when all the carinvores would escape unintentionally and you have to act fast to try and contain it. Its a good relaxing game… Full Review »

    The only real limitations on this version of the game worth noting are:
    -100 dinosaur cap in each park
    - the visuals in handheld mode are not nearly as defined or clear as PC or console. Although blurry it is completely playable and aside from looking for individual dinosaurs in the parks it doesnt cause any issues playing while on the go.    … Full Review »
