A well welcome return to a Dinosaur building simulator.
Many people inlcuding myself complained initially that it's annoying how vehicles and workers cannot by destroyed/killed by the dinosaurs however the deeper you get into it the more this makes sense. As if this were true it would be incredibly difficult to manage your park however having an option to toggle this on/off would be nice.

The game elegantly pushes you to focus on managing your park rather than just focus on the dinosaurs or have them fight. It's a Park management game and hence should be viewed as such, It's a great first entry which will no doubt be polished as time goes on. As the business model these days seems to be release a game that's not fully ready and then if it has traction continue to release updates further down the line.

The story mode involving you bringing the 5 parks to 5 stars is enjoyable but can also be frustrating at times! However it does leave something missing akin to direction when you've accomplished all the tasks ahead.. I guess that's what Isla Nublar is for!

Pros:
Hybrid variations you can add to your dinosaurs after you have them unlocked, adds to replayability
Gorgeous graphics
Well streamlined controls and Park-setup system quite intuitive
Sandbox Mode - Isla Nublar

Cons:
Lack of AI behaviour in regards to Dinosaur behaviour
Lack of AI - no group dinosaur hunts, (E.g. velociraptors hunting in packs)
Limited animations
Undestructable vehicles (Should be an option to toggle on/off)
Lack of "auto-manage" option which would be helpful for breakouts/etc;

Great 4x Space sim. Does wonderfully on the immersion front AI is a bit lackluster, however the devs are constantly in touch with the community and responding to feedback which is great.

If you like space, like 4x, and want to be immersed this is the game for you!
