They are also used for researching and distributing medicine to your dinosaurs, and why many of these elements aren’t drastically different to JWE on their own, they feel more fleshed out with the added micro-management of the Scientists as an added task to becoming a successful dino entrepreneur. You can use them for all manner of tasks, like sending them on excavations for new fossils or flying them out to capture roaming beasts terrorising suburban America. A new addition to JWE2s key operational output are scientists, a group of experts almost as tricky to manage as your dinosaurs. Just like in its predecessor, Keeping your dinosaurs safe and secure within your park in JWE2 requires the likes of power sources, ranger outposts and paleo-medical facilities before it’s considered fit for purpose. Parks are crafted in the same fashion as JWE, as you create suitable environments for different species of dinosaurs based on their size, terrain and companionship needs. When compared to Frontiers other, frankly, often overwhelmingly dense management sims, JWE is the most user-friendly, obviously catered for fans of the franchise rather than simulation Aficionados. Under the surface, JWE2 is exceedingly similar to its predecessor. These are the moments that make JWE an experience no dinosaur fan should forgo, but they, unfortunately, come at a cost. Somewhere deep in the park, the haunted screech of a Velociraptor can be heard as it closes in on an unsuspecting goat. Down below, a herd of crest-headed Parasaurolophus scatter into the forests, spooked by an Ankylosaurus swinging its massive armoured tail in defiance to the fences of its enclosure. It’s the John Williams strings, the growing orchestral beats while I watch my Brachiosaurus reach into the conifer trees to munch on a mouthful of leaves. It’s strange that, while Jurassic World Evolution is Frontiers lightest park management sim, it’s their franchise that draws me back the most.
