A lot of the anticipation for Jurassic Park: Survival not only comes from what looks like beautiful work by developer Saber Interactive, but from its association with what is definitely the most nostalgic point in the wider franchise's history: the original Jurassic Park film. For the past decade, most of the efforts in the series have tied into the new Jurassic World branding, including a series of terrific park-builder games, Jurassic World: Evolution. But this upcoming adventure promises to throw us back into the chaos of Isla Nublar where, in 1993, a theme park full of genetically modified dinosaurs went awry.
For Jurassic Park devotees, this new game offers something interesting that even predates the first movie. Jurassic Park: Survival might be the best chance yet to experience the park as seen in the original 1990 novel, which, despite its tight relationship to the film adaptation, features an expansive view of Jurassic Park that we haven't quite seen yet onscreen. But, to paraphrase the great Ian Malcolm, Survival might find a way.
