The value story
It has never been cheaper than $20.99. That was June 2024. It has been discounted 32 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 25 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 14 percent on value. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Jurassic World Evolution ($11.24, scores 74) and Jurassic World Evolution 2 ($17.99, scores 81) both outscore it.
Players rate it 90 percent positive over its lifetime, and the last 30 days run 98 percent. It is aging into a better game than its average suggests. 28 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2022 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 341 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 66 percent of the 798 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

I have nothing bad to say about the game and the studio. They do it with passion and a lot of care, you can tell. Also I love that the dinosaurs and the Plants and all are highly realistic with the animals also being very scientifically accurate. That is really...
A very natural feel to the game with, now, advanced animal behaviors.. Since they added predatory behaviors, "combat" and animals defending nests, inter species fighting for dominance is the most advanced in a sim park game like this that I've ever seen. WIth continued developer support, patches, and updates makes me think that although this might be the top game like this ever it is going to eventually be almost...
I'm going to be as honest as I can be This game is amazing The game offers a plethora of options when it comes to customization, and park design. The maps are huge and varied. But of course the creatures are the main attraction phenomenal, their design, animations and pattern options are really great, not to make comparisons but i much prefer their dinosaur behaviors to the Jurassic world evolution saga, and the...
