  1. [R5] Jurassic World™ 5/5 · US Amazing game as in grinding and enjoyability: This game has always been and still is one of my favorite games to play. The combat is not too complex. It is fairly balanced, and there is so much to grind for daily missions and super frequent new challenges as in battles make it so the game almost never gets boring with new things to unlock all the time. I recommend to anybody that loves Jurassic Wo
  2. [R8] Jurassic World™ 5/5 · US Jurassic World the game is so fun: I gave Jurassic World the game five stars because it is amazing. It is so much fun. It also teaches me so much about more dinosaurs. It also helps me with knowing dinosaurs even though I knew dinosaurs since I was two but this game is amazing if you don’t like this game, you guys are crazy.
  3. [R14] Jurassic World™ 5/5 · US This game has a lot of fun dinosaurs try to unlock the legendarys and fight then you be perfect: 1 million stars
  4. [R15] Jurassic World™ 3/5 · US Friends: Fantastic game, like seriously one of the best I’ve ever played on mobile, bet a game automatically loses two stars if they don’t include a friend option. Me and my sister play this a lot, and we would really appreciate it if you allowed some kind of friends that we could trade dinosaurs or materials to make the game more engaging. Maybe even a 2v2 option. If you add this, it will make th
  5. [R1] Jurassic World™ 1/5 · US Constant Glitches and Accidental Purchases: I’ve had enough with Jurassic World: The Game. This app has far too many glitches. During a battle, I received an error message that wasn’t my fault, yet I still had to wait 7 hours to use my dinosaurs again or spend 117 cash to recover them. The hatchery is also way too sensitive. I’ve accidentally spent over 1,000 cash to speed up my Megalodon because
  6. [R19] Jurassic World™ 1/5 · US best game but: best game i’ve played i have played it since i was a kid its fun simple and easy but all these years i’ve played you still cannot rotate your building, it would make parks look so much better give players a kill for freedom with customization.
  7. [R32] Jurassic World™ 5/5 · US Amazing game: I really love this game it’s so fun to level up the dinosaurs but I don’t really like how you have to wait forever to do stuff like hatching and building and then in my opinion I think some things are overpriced a little but I do like everything else about the game great job👍
  8. [R3] Jurassic World™ 3/5 · US The games fun but…: But it logs me out all the time!!! If there isnt a fix im gonna delete it. I played the game on august 30.
  9. [R9] Jurassic World™ 3/5 · US Ads don’t work: I can’t run an add for a reward, they either aren’t available or when the ad finishes it freezes and I have to restart the app. And I don’t get my reward.
  10. [R10] Jurassic World™ 1/5 · US Predatory ads: You need to watch ads to progress but the close out x never appears for a lot of them.

  12. [R17] Jurassic World™ 5/5 · US Great game: Great game and its fun but half of it is pay to win
  13. [R22] Jurassic World™ 1/5 · US Kalshi ads bad: The watch ads options are terrible in this game. The ads are like puzzles trying to figure out how to complete them and close them. The last straw was a five minute Kalshi ad that when finished, had no x or completion screen. I had to restart the app and then the ad restarted. I don’t mind ads when there is a timer and the ad gets an “x” to close it after completion, but when it be

  15. [R27] Jurassic World™ 3/5 · US Bruh: I was so good at this game but I deleted it and when I downloaded it back I lossed my account which I grind so hard and had limited dinosaurs and all of it is gone so can you put a sign in in case someone that deleted the game does not have to worry about losing their stuff.
