Players praise juveniles that grow up on screen and breeding that fills enclosures, detailed dinosaurs and landscapes, open building tools and a well-paced campaign.

- **Breeding and juveniles bring parks to life.** Juveniles grow up on screen, and breeding lets enclosures fill themselves. Many players say the animals feel alive as a result.
- **Graphics and sound stand out.** Dinosaur models, lighting and landscapes look detailed, and the sound design and music get frequent praise.
- **Building tools feel open and creative.** Modular building, better terrain tools and the Workshop let players shape parks with few limits, and many say building feels easier than in the last game.
- **Campaign is paced well.** Campaign maps are longer and more varied than in earlier games, and the pacing lets new players learn the systems gradually.
- **Resold dinosaurs and expansion prices anger players.** Many players say the game feels like paid expansion content, with dinosaurs from the last game resold in new packs and a full price that is hard to justify.
- **Feels like the last game with less in it.** Many players say the core loop is unchanged, and the new features feel like an expansion of the last game.
- **Park management and guests feel thin.** Guests come across as walking scenery, and money arrives fast, so players say management fades early and gives little long-term challenge.
- **Crashes, stuck staff and frame drops.** Rangers and maintenance crews get stuck in fields, some placements cause sharp frame drops, and crashes come up often enough that players mention restarts.
