    I've played it for 90 hours (and going up). 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.… Expand

    This version of the game contains all the DLC and plays just like its PC and console counterparts. This is a great port and a game the switch needed.
    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.

    the game is a very fun base building game. 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 gamethe game is a very fun base building game.

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… Expand

    It's incredible how an entire genre city-builders has disappeared due to a recurring trend of releases bearing the same exhausting trends: unplayable, over-complication of the most basic/simple tasks (ie electricity), minimal tutorials leading to endless hours of youtube videos just to learn the basics. Tropico 6...Cities... I'm talking about you.

Tropico 6...Cities... I'm talking about you.

    I really wish that any future attempts within the city-builder genre would take one giant step back and merely focus on releasing a game that's playable on it's own, without relying on the gamer to invest hours on youtube. Basic tasks must remain simple and work every time - stop using substations for electricity since this clearly is a recurring problem in game after game (Why?). And for crying out loud, grant your gamers the ability to build over a goddam hill... (in Jurassic world you can't build anywhere since about 80% of the locations you try will have a building conflict... such as a hill).

    Simply put: Jurassic World will be unplayable for 99% of gamers.    … Expand

    Nice graphics, plays well. Sometimes it's annoying how dinosaurs run away from you and attack people and you lose points for it, but it also makes the atmosphere of the game. After a long time the game gets a bit boring. But you can spend a good time with it.

    As other multiplatform games in portable mode, it’s really hard to play because of the blurred image. And in this kind of game in particular is a mess.

    Provided you can overlook plenty of gaps in logic (not to mention hideous graphics and lousy voice acting), there’s something to be said for Jurassic World Evolution. It may not be the greatest amusement park sim or city builder the Switch has to offer, but it’s solid enough in its own right that it’s at least pretty fun time.

    Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition is packed with content and should appeal to anyone who loves the Jurassic Park franchise and enjoys management-simulation games. There are presentation and interface flaws, but given the sheer amount of content on offer, fans should still check this one out.

    Jurassic World Evolution: Complete Edition may not be the prettiest game in the world on the Switch but the sheer amount of content and the overall enjoyment of it does make up for the visuals and even the performance.
