You take charge of operations across the islands of the Muertes archipelago, building dinosaur parks and balancing the interests of Science, Entertainment, and Security. Campaign objectives guide your work and open up new islands as you progress.
Send expeditions to recover fossils, research dinosaur DNA, then incubate and modify dinosaurs with different traits and appearances. Build enclosures suited to their needs, provide amenities for visitors, and manage finances, research, and park infrastructure.
Keep the parks running through storms, sabotage, illness, and dinosaur escapes. You can oversee operations from above or take direct control of vehicles to tranquilize animals, treat them, and respond to problems on the ground.
Players often praise the appeal of building their own dinosaur parks, the dinosaur models and animations, and the atmosphere drawn from the Jurassic films. Some also enjoy the accessible management and the chaos of handling escapes and disasters. Criticism commonly focuses on management that can feel shallow or repetitive; several reviewers also mention waiting, paid DLC content, or startup crashes.
