March 2026
So, here we are again. Jurassic World Evolution 3. So, is this game a worthy successor to both of the previous entries? I'll break down the good and the bad into separate sections and let you, dear reader, decide for yourself at the end whether its worth getting. I will of course give my own verdict as well. Positives 1. The game's technical performance and optimization is very good. Compared to JWE2, this game runs so much more smoothly. There are occasional frame hiccups, but it's honestly not bad. I've experienced no crashes or major bugs. 2. The game's environments and creatures are gorgeously detailed as always. While graphically the game is not a major leap from JWE2 I would suggest, I think that Frontier ditching last generation consoles has been of enormous benefit. 3. The campaign has had a massive overhaul. We are back to the extended story-based campaign style of JWE1. They managed to incorporate Extinction Now, which was mentioned in the film canon but never really explored, into the story. While it doesn't have the most dramatic consequences, Frontier managed to in part tie the campaign into the film canon and utilize an overlooked part of the lore. Also, each campaign map has semi-unique objectives to get the park to five stars. The DIN (Dinosaur Integration Network) that you work for also feels like a decent departure from the corporate shadiness of InGen/Masrani Global/BioSyn or the sterile government operation of the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife. It's kind of just accepted that dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures are part of our world now and humanity is trying to figure out the best solutions for coexistence, or at least DIN and their clients are. 4. To get the obligatory discussion of this out of the way: yes we finally have juvenile animals and proper male and female individuals/sexual dimorphism. The latter part is more obvious in some species than others and I think they could've pushed that boat out further, but I know the canon creature designs can complicate that a bit. Some of the juvenile models are directly ripped from film canon species appearances, others are more based on paleo-speculation or a best guess. Breeding is also now possible, allowing for players to organically populate their enclosures instead of having to create new creatures all the time. 5. The new and returning film/game characters are an interesting mix. I found myself somewhat liking Kira Chang and Dr. Luis Balderra. Dr. Ian Malcolm of course returns as the sarcastic voice of reason and protest, though he does come along for the ride if for no other reason than curiosity. Cabot Finch is leading DIN, which I found somewhat odd at first, but I suppose the man does have a way of sticking his foot in the door, whether you want him to or not. Those who have read some of my previous reviews on the series and its DLCs will know of my vehement distaste of Cabot Finch, though I think in this game his implied financial losses and Kira Chang help to keep him in check and actually make him fairly tolerable. The original three division heads, Dr. Kajal Dua, George Lambert, and Isaac Clement rejoin us once again and join forces with DIN within the first couple hours of the campaign. There is also a returning JWE2 character, Lily Halford, who pops up occasionally. Notably absent from the game are many characters from the first two games such as Owen Grady, Claire Dearing, Dr. Henry Wu, Dr. Alan Grant, Dr. Ellie Sattler (though she and Alan are mentioned by Ian during the campaign), Lewis Dodgson (screw that moron), Ramsay Cole, Barry Sembene (who I feel got absolutely shafted in the JWE2 Malta expansion), Kayla Watts (couldn't care less she's gone), Soyona Santos (also couldn't care less that she's gone), Ron Thompson, John Hammond, and Simon Masrani. 6. The new terrain tools are fantastic for making more varied parks. Additionally, the arrival of modular building, while it can be intimidating to some, does make parks feel more unique and less copy-and-paste. There is also the Frontier Workshop which allows players to download custom blueprints made by other players which is a huge win for players that aren't good at modular building. 7. Challenge mode, like the campaign, also has different scenarios with different objectives to reach five stars, making each one more unique. 8. The island generator system allows one to make their own custom maps. The options are a little limited right now, but Frontier is expanding the system with each bigger update. Players can also upload these maps and park builds to the workshop for others to visit and use. 9. Some of the new maps and locations are amazingly detailed and unique. We go to such locations as Montana, Nevada, California, Hawaii, the Azores Islands, Malta, Italy, China, Japan, and Indonesia. The only thing that would've been better is if we could've have visited locations in the south too like Argentina, Brazil, Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Kenya, Madagascar, India, Australia, New Zealand, etc.. 10. New attractions like dinosaur encounters, balloon tours, and boat tours add more variety to the parks and what you can build. Negatives 1. While some new vehicles and utilities like maintenance ATVs and security cameras are cool, I feel like the latter is not utilized enough in the campaign. The maintenance ATVs also feel like they've stripped more functionality away from the ranger vehicles. 2. Some of the new terrain tools can be a bit finicky as can the modular building and the path system. Aviaries and lagoons are also largely the same as before without much innovation. Natural lagoons and aviaries are not currently possible to make despite having deep water and the new terrain tools. 3. I feel like the nesting requirements for some creatures are too picky at times and creatures breed to easily and quickly regardless of species. This can quickly result in overpopulation of different species and also lead to frustrating management of nests, birth and breeding control, and other associated issues. If you're running a "Site B" scenario, that's not a problem, but it is for running an actual park. 4. The sexual dimorphism for some canon species does not match up to how they are portrayed in the films. The sexual dimorphism for some species is also very vague or not obvious except for a pattern change. 5. Okay, this is probably my biggest criticism of the game. The gutting of the roster coming from JWE2 to JWE3. This was a huge controversy before the game launched. Almost forty of the 122 species from the last game were excluded from the launch of this game. In return, we only received seven new species. Now, there are some caveats. One, the base game species from JWE2 are coming back in monthly updates for free and hopefully most if not all of the DLC species will as well (though so far only Deinocheirus has returned with no charge). Two, it is largely believed the focus on introducing breeding, juveniles, and sexual dimorphism are chiefly responsible for this happening, which I chalk up to Frontier being unwilling to delay the game so as to avoid this issue. Three, as long as all the missing species are eventually returned, I think the game will have a massive and diverse roster eventually. Hopefully, official support lasts for several years and Frontier makes this the definitive JWE game. So, what's my final verdict? The game is in many ways a decent improvement over its prequels. Yes, there are a few issues which I have mentioned, but I think if those are fixed then we have the makings of the best JWE game on our hands. As some of you may know, I have been very critical of Frontier's handling of these games in the past, but I feel like this time they are actually starting to get their crap together and making meaningful leaps forward. If you're a new player or a veteran like me, I think JWE3 is the perfect entry point or place to return to the series respectively. Life does indeed find a way.

What you get here: - Basically the first two games prettied up - A new Breeding and family tree system - The ability to design custom buildings and share them via the Workshop - A new campaign In short, it’s the first two games with a “Breeding and Juveniles” DLC slapped onto it, paired with a new ability to customize buildings. And to be honest, if you expected much from the breeding system, you’ll be disappointed. it feels like it was made with the least effort possible. You place a nest down, two dinos claim it, eggs appear, and after a timer runs down, a half-grown juvenile spawns. That’s it. Dinos building their own nests? Hatching animations? motherly care? None of that is here. I expected more from the main selling point. Despite the disappointment, it’s still fun, just like the first two games were. The best part is that you can create self sufficent eco systems now. There's also some nice fluff, like a family tree and lots of new animations of dinosaurs interacting with each other. The Workshop is especially a super neat addition. If you’re the creative type, you can design your own buildings and customize your park down to the smallest detail (Think Cities: Skylines 2 or Planet Zoo-style customization.) If not then head over to the Workshop and pick what tickles your fancy. There’s a ton of stuff people have made. All in all, I can definitely recommend it. It’s fun ~ Disappointing, yes, did expect more. But still fun.

Things I like: + Fully modular customization. Previous games were really limited in terms of building and decoration options, but this game gives you essentially full control over the visual aspects of your Park (think of planet zoo/coaster) + Juveniles make your park feel a lot more alive, and it's really cool that sexual dimorphism is visible between genders. + Better terrain options and customization, feels like you're able to be a lot more creative with elevation. + Campaign feels a lot more complete than previous games. The campaign in JWE2 was essentially just an extended tutorial, but in this game it's much more of a fully fledged experience. + Resting scientists no longer costs money, making them significantly less annoying to manage. + Delivery zones make it easy to transport your dinosaurs from hatchery to enclosure, without having to deal with helicopter clogs from airlifting. + Good amount of Base game content, on par with JWE2 with all the DLCs. + More diversity in map options, JWE2 was focused almost entirely on the United States and Europe, but this game gives you more options with maps in Asia and Hawaii (along with returning maps from JWE2). Square sandbox maps are also available right from launch. + Dinosaur environmental needs have been given more depth (wetland/arid, cover/pasture, barren, so on) + I find it much easier to make good looking "natural" landscapes and enclosures, for example lily pads and other water plants are automatically generated when you place water. Things I am unsure/neutral on: ~ The core gameplay loop is essentially unchanged from jwe2 (and by proxy jwe1). I already love the gameplay loop so it's not a problem for me, but if you weren't already sold on the series this probably won't change your mind. ~ Arguably a bit pricey for what it is, I think there are enough upgrades/differences to be worth it, but it would be fair to think it's a bit too expensive considering it's essentially JWE2+. ~ Game feels a bit too easy. Even hard/jurassic difficulty feels rather unchallenging. Not a huge deal for me as I'm usually sandbox-oriented but they should work on the difficulty curve. Overall thoughts: Definitely the definitive Jurassic World Evolution experience. Though the core gameplay is practically identical to the previous entries, the increased focus on customization and modularity adds a ton of value, and many of the additions they've added really help to spice up the formula. If you're looking for a radical reinvention to the series, this isn't it, but if you're fine with just "more Jurassic World Evolution", this game does everything that it should and I would say is absolutely worth it.

This is my first steam review. This game is a labour of love and it shows. Frontier have blown us away with, what I can honestly hand on heart say, is one of the best park simulators ever released. It's what people who played Jurassic Park Operation: Genesis dreamed of playing some day. The artwork; the illustrations, the models, the textures, the lighting, the music - everything. It's all so gorgeous. I hope the team are proud of themselves, they've made something that took my breath away more times than I could count. The gameplay is intuitive. The tutorial levels of the campaign feel fluid and the voice acting is great. It really leans into the narrative left by the recent Jurassic World releases, that we have mixed the past into the future and now we must adapt. The campaign is a great mix of challenging and educating. It's rare that I don't want to rush through a tutorial. There's no boredom when waiting for tasks to complete, because you get to admire the stunning dinosaurs and their little quirks. The animations are stunning, each unique in their own right, where you really feel like you're watching a living prehistoric animal. The detail is immense, right down to them having their own unique footprints in the mud. I've played it relentlessly on release day (even though it was like 10 minutes late, you said 3pm damn it!) I can't wait to see what the rest of the game has to offer. I'm just that blown away that I had to leave a review. It's utterly gorgeous and runs like a dream. Additionally, you'd likely have to pay upto a thousand in the Sims for the assets you get for building. They've really treated us to a building-within-buildings park simulation, and the best part is, the attractions are beautiful. As a Rollercoaster Tycoon girly, this game is really it. I can't recommend it enough.
