Jurassic World Evolution 3 review

Jurassic World Evolution 3 takes the No. 1 spot because it has the most dinosaur management of any game here. Frontier Developments' Steam page lists over 85 prehistoric species, 75 of which you can breed and raise as families across generations, with male, female and juvenile variants for the first time in the series. You build enclosures with new terrain editing and modular scenery, or let the Island Generator create a unique map, then add guest attractions such as the Balloon Tour, the hands-on Dinosaur Encounter and the Cretaceous Cruise. Its 93% positive score across 7,820 English Steam reviews is among the highest here, and Steam shows a Metacritic score of 81. The costs: $59.99 is the top price on the list, the minimum PC needs 16 GB of RAM and a 6 GB graphics card, and there is no multiplayer. Players on older PCs should look at Prehistoric Kingdom or the free Jurassic World: The Game instead.
