I must confess going into this game I have been patiently awaiting a sequel to Jurassic Park Operation Genesis and so my opinion is biased from the start. That being said I absolutely love this game and it is everything I ever wanted out of life. If you're a fan of dinosaurs and park tycoon games you will adore this game. Being made by the same people designed Planet Coaster Jurassic World Evolution has a lot riding on its shoulders. To keep it short you build and manage, keyword manage, your own Jurassic World theme park. Unlike most other park games where chaos is a possibility, in JWE its guaranteed. Dinosaurs WILL break out, and they WILL eat people and if you're not prepared it WILL cost you, a lot. This game also does some work on the Jurassic cannon bringing some characters to life and highlighting their stories in a way the film does not. That being said, the story of this game is.... terrible and anti-climactic at best. You really shouldn't be playing this game for its story but rather the beautity of bringing back dinosaurs

Pros:
Beautiful - the overal appearance of this game is absolutetly stunning from the dinosaurs, to the weather, to the overal world
Management - this game will never fail to keep you busy. You'll always be running fossil digs, creating new exhibits, managing power, and stopping dinosaur breakouts. There's always something to do

Cons:
Story - I'll keep this short. There's hardly a story only a loose narrative to give a reason for the random missions you're assigned throughout the game
Dinosaur Behavior - While the game has come a LOOOOOOOONG way on improving this since launch, some dinosaur behavior still seems a bit... off. Particulary and unfortunetly the fights. Dinosaurs engage in 1v1 duels, with a few exceptions where the herbivores can't even fight back. Each dinosaur exchanges blows until one either gives up, or is reduced to 1 HP and triggers a canned kill animation
Decoration - Like I said, this is a management game. Once you get good at it all your parks and exhibits will unfortunetly, look exactly the same. You have no real decoration options and you can't even place individual trees. From some I can understand this being a deal breaker but remember, its a park MANAGEMENT game, not a park BUILDING game

I really suck at writting reviews so I hope some of this helps, but even with some major cons I still love JWE and would give it a solid 8/10
