Reviewers agree that Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a game in every way bigger, more interesting, and generally better than the first installment. They also praise the good campaign, which takes place after the events of the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom movie. Of course, the biggest attraction is the sandbox mode.
The criticism revolves around the still too simple gameplay mechanics, which are unable to fully satisfy veteran economy strategists. In addition, random disasters happen too often. This remains true to the franchise's canon, but the problem is that dealing with them is simply less interesting than the standard park development and management.
Jurassic World Evolution 2 is coming to PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. The release will take place on November 9, this year.
