I remember when I was barely 10 years old and I felt my passion for dinosaurs starting to awaken, I saw something special about these animals, a majestic feeling that flooded my whole being every time I saw them. saw. I remember very well the desire I had to admire a real one, in the flesh; but logically it was not possible. Movies like Jurassic Park were recorded in my retina with the good memories they left with me as I enjoyed them with my family and friends. This silly feeling and heartbreak that comes to me at very untimely times happened to me as soon as I started in Jurassic World Evolution 2. I’m going to be able to make my dream come true.
Normally I don’t usually get that sentimental, however these little animals with three things that were told badly bring back some great memories to me and I want to pass on to you how I felt listening to the well-known soundtrack created by John Williams again. Generally speaking, Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a management game, but in a particular way; since we will put ourselves in the hands of the owner of a Jurassic Park. The new opus developed and published by Frontier takes us to emblematic moments of cinema, widens the territory of scenarios – more new ones -, more dinosaurs, etc. Of course, he assured you that we noticed the improvement instantly, but not in all aspects, of course.
Technical section
Graphically we do not see any notable improvement if we compare it with the first opus, it seems rather that they have stagnated in the Xbox One graphics – with a higher resolution -, we notice it a lot in the stages of the scenarios and elements plants, which are correct without further ado. Beware, that doesn’t mean they don’t feel good, despite everything, I expected a noticeable improvement in graphics. I was able to enjoy the Xbox Series version, although it doesn’t really add new elements for the next generation; rather they are limited in resolution improvement and stable frame rate. During all hours of play I only encountered one bug, and it’s related to the free camera crashes every now and then, but it’s easy to fix with a future patch.
However, on a totally opposite plane are the dinosaurs, more alive and natural thanks to its new animations and improved artificial intelligence. Some are so real that you can stay engrossed for hours and hours as you contemplate how they react in the environment and interact with their roommates. Unlike scenarios, these receive a visual enhancement.
This is all great, but best of all is its dubbing, and of course its translation. Because? If you have read the beginning of the analysis you will know that the Jurassic cinematic saga marked me, and as I remember every scene, I will never forget the voices of iconic characters such as Ian Malcolm, John Hammond or the Dr Henry Wu. And you don’t know the illusion that made me listen to them again with the Jurassic Park soundtrack, as if I had stepped back in time for a moment.
Playability
This new opus takes place months after what happened in the Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom movie, finally the “main” campaign. I say it in quotes because really it’s more a tutorial than a campaign Strictly speaking, it lacks a lot of shisha and is a bit poor I would say too much. Even for a tutorial, it’s infamous. However, the Chaos Theory mode more than makes up for the campaign; a way we will find different scenarios corresponding to each of the films, from the Jurassic Park disaster to The Fallen Kingdom. For me, this is the real campaign, and not the other. Difficulty and challenges vary by map, as do your buildings and park staff. Logically, it is not a question of reliving the films to the letter, but of avoiding it and finding a good home for our beloved animals, or in any case to make it an exhibitor for the general public – by keeping it. in good condition and pampered. Basically, they deal with scenarios called “what if …”. We can play up to 5 completely different events between them, with an intro that matches the books and movies seen so far, minus the development and the ending. Personally, I recommend you to play it chronologically, this is how it is most appreciated and we see a progression in its difficulty. Otherwise it makes less sense and we risk having to restart the scenario several times. I tell you about my experience, but you are always free to play as you want.
In terms of management, Frontier presents very juicy news. The most striking is the increase in scenarios and building land, one of the most requested characteristics in its previous installment. This is great news for builders like myself looking to recreate entire parks in Creative Mode, where the biggest limitation was terrain. Added to this is the establishment of new buildings for the internal management of the park, shops, attractions and a lot of decoration, a lot.
Remember what I said before about more natural dinosaurs? Well, the same is happening with the management, the energy and the fuel, the new mechanics of the scientists, everything: organic and differential. “Feel the real experience of running a Jurassic Park” This should be their slogan. Although not everything is easy, I have on more than one occasion despaired because of this realism. Damn scientists who want to rest and let me do nothing while I’m losing money! At first you file for bankruptcy several times, but hey, I deserve it for not thinking about going crazy. Finally, how not to mention the wide range of existing and new dinosaurs
Duration
He hasn’t, he’s infinite. Well, sorry, it’s infinitely less in campaign mode. You can play for thousands of hours without getting tired of it, meet your challenges, unlock new places, create endless parks; even create underground dinosaur fights in the style of Far Cry 6 with chickens. It’s like that. If you buy this game it’s spending hours and hours, like any management game, but here with the nostalgic charge in my case, added to the passion for some fascinating beings.
In order to be able to convey to you everything I feel while playing and to give you an analysis of the conditions, I played for about 40 hours and I never tire of it. Also, while you are reading this, I will surely be playing Velociraptor breeding while I try not to let the goats escape from the pens and the Indominus Rex does not lie to me.
conclusion
Jurassic World Evolution 2 will have its lights and shadows, however, it does what it promises. Ignoring the emotional charge the title gave me and the experiences it awakened in me, Frontier once again innovates in a somewhat repetitive formula, but completely screwed up in campaign mode – except in Chaos mode, which is a sort of alternative campaign – well and on the floor of the cards. This solves the problem in a big way in the improved behavior of the dinosaurs, which are really alive. In addition to improving their designs and graphics.
New buildings, innovative mechanics, new species, more terrain and so on with a long list of additions in this new installment compared to the previous one. To me Jurassic World Evolution 2 is space, being able to see a Diplodocus, a Dilophosauru and even now a Mosasaurus up close; makes it special and unique. However, most incredible of all is its dubbing with the original voices of its actors, just for that it is already worth trying at least.
Really, I want to thank from the bottom of my heart the work of Frontier, it is the first time that a game has aroused so many feelings in me.
