Jurassic World Evolution 3 feels like it forgets that you’re raising dinosaurs, not zoo animals

Jurassic World Evolution 3 focuses on park-building, allowing players to raise dinosaurs and manage attractions. The gameplay includes constructing enclosures, managing resources, and ensuring dinosaur well-being, with familiar mechanics of research, hatching, and nurturing. Quality-of-life improvements enable automation of tasks like repairing fences and tending to sick dinosaurs, enhancing the creative aspects of park management. While the thrill of releasing dinosaurs remains, their behavior lacks depth, and the game emphasizes construction and management over the unpredictable nature of dinosaurs. Challenges, such as velociraptor escapes, lack lasting consequences, and the challenge mode consists of timed tasks that do not fully capture the unpredictability of managing a dinosaur park. Overall, the game does not significantly advance the series, feeling more like an extension of previous titles.
