Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The core gameplay loop is fine, but everything else is window dressing.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I never buy or play games for the graphics, that is the last thing I look forward to, so I don't really care about the improvements althought the game does look a bit better than it's predecessor.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
It’s unacceptable when a game’s tactical requirements are so poorly optimized that even the best consumer hardware available cannot run it reliably.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
It's a lot of fun that the actors from the movies is voice acting in it and it's really nice to chill to play if you love dinosaurs and the complicated situations you'll get put in whenever something strikes and you have to figure it out.
