But what sets it apart - and how it exceeds being more than just a movie tie-in to the most recent Jurassic World film - are the surprising amounts of nuance and depth that Frontier Developments have packed into its simulation of the iconic dinosaur-filled theme park.Ĭoming from the team behind titles such as Elite: Dangerous and Planet Coaster, I knew going in that I could expect an in-depth simulation with a ton of options and variety from Frontier, and that’s a big part of what drew me into Evolution based on the studio’s pedigree. What I didn’t expect was the fact that Frontier also succeeded in making a game that doesn’t swing too hard in the other direction of being an impenetrable “hardcore” sim - as someone that doesn’t really play a ton of city/park-building games, I don’t think Evolution will be too intimidating for newcomers drawn in by its Jurassic World tie-in. If you’re looking for that idea of building the Jurassic Park of your dreams like I was, Jurassic World Evolution will deliver in that regard. “What sets apart…are the surprising amounts of nuance and depth that Frontier Developments have packed into its simulation.” However, with modern tech and an esteemed developer behind the wheel, Jurassic World Evolution takes the idea of a Jurassic Park-building game and dials the concept up higher, even if the result is not entirely a perfect specimen.
Of course, this is not the first time around that we’ve seen a park-building sim based on Jurassic Park as previous games, like 2003’s Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis, had their unique take on the dream of building your own version of Jurassic Park. That devotion and love for dinosaurs as a kid is a big part of why Jurassic Park has continued to stick with me for well over 25 years, and naturally, that makes the prospect of building my version of the park so exciting in Jurassic World Evolution. As a kid, I read through dozens of books about the prehistoric creatures, took more than a few trips to the Museum of Natural History to view the dinosaur skeletons and, naturally, watched Jurassic Park practically on loop as a kid. When I think back on my childhood, a ton of it was dominated by dinosaurs.
