I just beat the game. After 5 years. At first I didn't know how to play so I stopped playing but now I finished it. I started when I was 7 I am now 12. This game is so so so good. So please give this game a try.

This right here is the game I wish I could have played as a kid. My love for dinosaurs is still there, but that moment in a boy’s childhood when dinosaurs are everything would have been elevated by this game. I guess we just had to wait for animations and graphics to get better to have a management simulation game based on Jurassic Park. This game does everything well; it captures you with the nostalgia element, it …

This should be a mixed review to be honest. The game is fun when it comes to park management and dinosaur breeding etc. It's not so fun when the main campaign is barebones and the dinosaur variety are locked behind 8 DLC's that cost more than the game itself. Park management isn't complex, you have to keep 3 factions happy, do quests to progress buildings and discover archaeologist sites, so that you can unlock more …

This game has better atmosphere than the sequels even if there aren't as many features. The vibe is just better, idk.

Players who liked Jurassic World Evolution talk about great atmosphere and nostalgic Jurassic Park feel; those who didn't talk about game may not launch on latest Windows versions. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Jurassic World Evolution received "generally favorable reviews" for the Xbox One and Switch versions, while the PC and PlayStation 4 versions received "mixed or average reviews", according to review aggregator platform Metacritic. Critics praised the dinosaurs featured in the game. Sam Loveridge of GamesRadar+ liked the variety as well as the cutscene that was displayed when a dinosaur is released from the incubation center. She enjoyed being able to control the jeep and the ACU helicopter from a third-person perspective, a mechanic she applauds for allowing players to relate to the dinosaurs. She added that she "lost entire evenings to [the game] without even thinking" due to its relaxing…

positive · AI labelView post →A good comedy bit is the game Jurassic World Evolution was described as a zoo, but worse, plenty of glitches and poor design choices, but they made a sequel knowing full well people wouldn't care about the disaster of the first one, which is just like how the parks work.

I upped the memory to 64 GB, and the last upgrade I could easily to is to replace my old NVidia GeForce RTX 2060.

Fuck Stellaris, Cult of the Lamb, Jurassic World Evolution 3, all of the "shop simulator" games, The Finals, COD, Halo, Firmament, Apex Legends, and the rest.
negative · AI labelView post →Jurassic World Evolution 3 looks great, but I can’t help but feel like it’s what the first game should’ve been. It’s kind of ridiculous that this series is about a decade old and only just now is catching up to zoo games from the early 2000s. On the other hand…baby T.rex!!! 🥹

It actually ran pretty decently on my PC when it first came out but you could tell it was an incomplete mess right away. The simulation was non-existent. The game looked like dog shit. The only way to get it to run decently was to turn everything down to low and medium. Somehow I squeaked out 75 hours in that first 3 month release window. For…

Surviving Mars is good imo, and so is Frostpunk, but both involved a decent bit of trial and error to figure out. For Frostpunk that ended up being a strength, but not sure if I'd have just done a tutorial for Surviving Mars if I would have had fewer problems. I have like 400 hours in Satisfactory, some people consider it a city builder, I guess for resource management reasons. But there aren't cute…
