Once you have a grasp on the basic necessities of the game, you begin cooking on gas. My ACU team couldn’t move quick enough to prevent the massacre of my Triceratops and I’m pretty sure I’m still a bit traumatized. Don’t make the mistake I did of releasing a carnivore into a herbivore enclosure though. You learn to not only please your guests but also your own creations since they are, if anything, more important. Which is what you’d expect from a realistic dinosaur theme park simulator. It’s unpredictable and no two dinosaurs are the same. Whilst some immediately want to start fights, others can become lonely and seek a friend. Lonely dinosĮach species has its own personality too. I mostly felt guilty when I couldn’t complete something because I felt like an awful dinosaur mother. Some tasks are so poorly explained and leave you unable to complete until later in the game but this isn’t specified at any point. With constant narration from team leaders you’re also required to have the sound on constantly since the notifications are so small and disappear so fast. On more than one occasion a task will be lost and you’ll suddenly have no power to one of your key assets. Left to your own devicesĪlthough you are given a wide variety of things to complete, the help menus are minimal. With such ferocious beasts at your fingertips, you also have to consider the protection of your guests. There is always something to do, and no time to turn a blind eye.

For such a simple concept you will not find yourself short of tasks to complete and suddenly half your day has passed. But to increase the number of customers to satisfy, you need to fulfill their amusement park needs. You learn quickly that expedition teams need to be sent out to find new fossils, and you need new fossils to increase customer satisfaction.

From the moment you start the game there is a stream of tasks to complete with several paths to take. But with Jurassic World evolution, there’s not a quiet moment. The concept is simple, make a park, get some money, hatch dinosaurs.

Since owning my own triceratops was out of the question despite my desperate pleas, Jurassic World evolution has come along and soothed my needs. As someone who grew up completely fascinated by dinosaurs, the Jurassic Park franchise has always been something I’ve held very dearly.
