Overview
Jurassic World Evolution 2 is disappointing due to tedious and shallow gameplay resembling a pet or fish tank simulator, despite strong visuals, extensive customization, and nostalgia for the franchise.
The campaign mode consists of boring, scripted tutorial tasks with minimal story, the sandbox mode lacks difficulty due to infinite funds and docile dinosaurs, and the challenge mode lacks strategic depth despite requiring research chains and maintenance.
Management loops and minigames like driving Jeeps, piloting helicopters, and tranquilizing dinosaurs grow repetitive quickly.
The game received a rating of 3.2 out of 10 and no recommendation at its full price of £50 (around $80), with a purchase only worth reconsidering if the cost drops to $25 or $30.
