![]() The former is voiced by Bryce Dallas Howard reprising her role, but Chris Pratt must’ve been too busy voicing literally every animated character and is nowhere to be found. Fish and Wildlife service – and the CIA for some reason? – have recruited Claire Dearing and Owen Grady to help them capture wild dinosaurs and place them into non-profit sanctuaries. ![]() There is also a campaign mode which changes up the formula in some interesting ways: after the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the U.S. ![]() Pterosaurs and aquatic species especially got a lot more love this time around (they weren’t included at all when the first game launched), with more customizable enclosures that let you focus your entire park on them more easily, if that's your thing. Most of the important ones from the original film are available very early on, and it was nice to still be discovering new species to mix things up even more than 30 hours in. You'll also have to unlock the vast majority of the available dinosaur species, but I didn't mind this as much. This is probably the place you’ll want to start, since they give you a reasonable amount of freedom to play how you want and feature cameos from major series characters, including some of the original actors like Jeff Goldblum. There is, astoundingly, only one map available in sandbox at first, and all of the rest must be unlocked either in frustrating timed challenges or story-based "Chaos Theory" scenarios, which mostly follow the plots of the various Jurassic films. This sim is also packed with unlockables, which can be nice if you want help setting goals, but frustrating if you merely want to jump into sandbox mode and build the park of your dreams. As Ian Malcolm might say, "F- around, find out." In the next batch of eggs, I made sure to throw out the ones with that trait. Ultimately, I just had to let nature run its course: she kept getting in fights, and I withheld treatment until she died of her injuries. But raptors can't live comfortably in isolation, so I couldn't just place her in her own, separate enclosure, either. Putting her with other raptors resulted in frequent, expensive vet bills for both her and whichever other member of the pack she had decided to bully. The personality of each dinosaur really matters, and when my star raptor, Victoria, kept getting into fights, I was left with a tough choice. The absence of this feature created huge chunks of boring downtime in the original, especially when a storm knocked out power and your dinos ran up a huge bill by eating guests and you had to pay it off by just waiting it out this lets you mostly skip over all of that. The ability to speed up time is a really welcome addition, though, especially when you're just waiting to have enough money to hatch a new species or repair a critical facility. Even if it is a much richer experience than the first game, the gap between this and most other park sims is significant. Streamlining the busywork so you can focus on the dinosaurs makes sense to a certain degree, but I feel like Evolution 2 takes it a dino-sized step too far. Maximizing income is a simple minigame of adding modules to your amenities to appeal to specific guest types, which boils down to mousing over the list, seeing which ones will add the most profit, and then building those. Read the full Jurassic World Evolution review Spare No Expense It beats getting mauled by raptors, but after careful consideration, I’ve decided not to endorse this park. Sure, the dinosaurs look nice enough, but the process of unlocking new species is beyond tedious and actually running the business is shallow and quickly gets stale. Besides the fact that there’s absolutely no evolution involved in it, Jurassic World: Evolution is a bad game because it’s just a bore of a park sim.
