Think busted fences, escaped carnivores, and herbivores going at it while you desperately drive around your ranger cart trying to tranquilize and contain them. The best levels in Chaos mode are the ones where you're cleaning up the aftermath of a scenario from one of the movies.


It's so much fun it makes the campaign feel too staid, and the sandbox feel too gentle. It could all just do with letting you get through the basics of infrastructure a bit faster, especially if you spent any time in the original game.įor me, it's really all about Chaos Mode. Even then, there are some great moments, photographing dinosaurs in the wild from a helicopter to earn extra cash, tracking and tranquilizing terrible lizards that could pose a threat to the human population. Be prepared to complete one objective after the other where some interesting part of the menu will be off-limits, and you start wondering when you'll ever get to start fondling fossils or genetically modifying a velociraptor. Clearly determined to try and help you learn the ropes as much as possible, it goes way too helicopter parent - scrubbing at your face with a spit-soaked tissue level - and slows things to an absolute crawl. If pandemic trauma pushed the plot out of your brain, that was when various shady shenanigans resulted in dinosaurs roaming the US, and humanity is forced to reckon with a new "neo-Jurassic Age." That means this time around you'll need to find, capture and contain dinosaurs on American soil, all while Jeff Goldblum, Bryce Dallas Howard, and a really bad Chris Pratt impressionist talk you through this brave new world.ĭon't judge the game by its first couple of hours in campaign mode. The main campaign follows the story set out by 2018's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. This theme park management sim takes all the mechanics that made the original addictive and then adds the cretaceous cherry on top with new modes, new species of prehistoric pets, and smart tweaks to the original's more annoying mechanics. Jurassic World Evolution 2 also proves that they are an absolute bugger to manage when you're trying to make money in the tourist industry. Platform(s): PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series Xĭinosaurs are undeniably cool.
