Jurassic World: Evolution 2 (JWorldPS5) for PlayStation 5 promises a captivating dinosaur park management experience, and after countless hours spent building, breeding, and (occasionally) evacuating my parks, I’m ready to share my thoughts. This international version, with its PEGI rating, offers a compelling narrative experience that expands upon the original game, adding new layers of strategic depth and thrilling moments.

The game delivers on its promise of a rich narrative experience. The story, set after the events of Fallen Kingdom, allows players to revisit key moments from the film franchise and shape the future of these majestic creatures. The “what if” scenarios are engaging, providing a fresh take on the familiar Jurassic World storyline. Beyond the narrative, the Sandbox mode truly unleashes your inner park creator. The sheer number of options for landscaping, building enclosures, and managing your dinosaur population provides endless possibilities. I particularly appreciated the improved genetics system, allowing for more control over dinosaur appearance and behavior. The multiplayer component adds a layer of social interaction, allowing for collaborative park management, though I found it less impactful than the compelling solo experience.

Running on the PS5, the game looks stunning. The graphics are detailed, bringing the dinosaurs to life with impressive realism. The animation is smooth and fluid, and the overall performance was consistently excellent, even during moments of high activity in my ever-expanding parks. Loading times are minimal, ensuring a smooth gameplay experience. The only minor performance hiccup I experienced was occasional minor frame rate drops during large-scale storms, but these were rare and didn’t significantly impact gameplay.

Pros:

• Engaging narrative campaign
• Extensive Sandbox mode with countless customization options
• Stunning graphics and smooth performance on PS5
• Improved genetics system
• Multiplayer capabilities (though less impactful than solo play)

Cons:

• Occasional minor frame rate drops during severe weather events
• The complexity might overwhelm new players initially

Jurassic World: Evolution 2 (JWorldPS5) is a fantastic addition to the series. The blend of narrative and sandbox gameplay, combined with the impressive visuals and smooth performance on the PS5, make it a highly enjoyable experience. While the initial learning curve might be steep, the rewards of building and managing your own thriving Jurassic World are well worth the effort. I highly recommend this game to any dinosaur enthusiast or strategy game fan.
