Jurassic World Alive review

Jurassic World Alive ranks seventh and is the only game here that sends you outside to hunt dinosaurs. Ludia's App Store page describes a location-based map that shows dinosaurs roaming your neighborhood, which you find, collect DNA from and use to level up and create hybrid dinosaurs in the Lab. You then take a strike team into real-time player-versus-player arena battles, visit Supply Drops near you for rewards and share AR photos and videos of your collection. It holds a 4.5 rating from 129K ratings on the US App Store and is free to play. The downsides: Ludia warns that GPS running in the background can drain your battery, Apple lists loot boxes and advertising, and purchases range from a $1.99 bundle to $39.99 Season Pass tiers, plus a $9.99 monthly VIP membership. Players who want to build a park rather than walk around should pick Jurassic World: The Game.
