Jurassic World Evolution (the movies having ditched the "Park" designation for bigger things) is a pseudo-sequel to 2003's Operation Genesis - a construction and resource management sim where the end goal is to create a functional park.

In late 2021 we received the sequel Jurassic World Evolution 2, which builds upon the predecessor in nearly every category: Deeper park management mechanics, a larger dino roster (84 species), and, as you'd expect when jumping to the next generation of console hardware, improved visuals.

The game's locations, models and effects are simply gorgeous and the variables the player can control are nearly limitless, whether or not the experience will prove rewarding has all to do with the player's appreciation for the simulation/ farming experience.

Missions are fuelled by the desire to unlock more park resources, a wider range of animal species, new skins, textures and so on. At the end of the day, I consider the Jurassic World Evolution series a more expansive and gorgeous continuation of what Operation Genesis promised back in the early 2000s.
