Jurassic World Evolution allows you to build and maintain your very own dino park, and much like Planet Zoo, you’ll need to make sure your dinos are happy and healthy if you want the park to thrive. Jurassic World Evolution ( PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch )įrontier Developments really does have a monopoly on simulation-style games (or, at least, it can feel that way). If you adore animals like we do, you might struggle when things aren’t going well for your little critters, but that’s just all the more incentive to make sure they’re all doing okay. Unlike Zoo Tycoon, Planet Zoo also has a pretty clear conservation message at its core you’ll need to consider how to keep animals happy and healthy if you want your zoo to do well.

Planet Zoo is the spiritual successor to Zoo Tycoon, so it’s basically the same management gameplay but with more depth, complexity, and strategic breadth.
