Henry Wu’s office, then into a secret dungeon at the back of the facility, leading to the end of the story. There’s the germ of what could be one in Jurassic World Aftermath but this needs to evolve an awful lot more for the second part to be in any way worth considering.With all new locations, puzzles and dinosaur encounters, Jurassic World Aftermath: Part 2 Brings a conclusion that takes us through the grand heights of Dr. Everything seems very half-hearted and lazy, from the Simon Says hacking mini-game to the transparent attempts to pretend the game isn’t completely linear.Īftermath isn’t so bad it feels insulting but it is a complete waste of everybody’s time, including Universal Studios who keep licensing out the films in the hope someone will make an interesting game based on them. If Jeff Goldblum hadn’t somehow been roped into doing an afternoon’s voiceover work it would feel much more like an off-brand knock-off than the real thing (but then you could say much the same thing about the new movies). But where Alien Isolation ( currently free on the Epic Games Store) represents perhaps the most authentic recreation of a movie ever seen in a video game Aftermath is exactly the opposite. We can almost feel the game daring us to make a comparison with Alien Isolation and on a very basic level the two games are similar. GTA: San Andreas VR coming to Oculus Quest 2 after ‘many years’ of development
All the rest of the times, after you realise that a velociraptor coming round the corner is the game’s one and only trick, it starts to seem rather less terrifying. This really would’ve been too scary for many if it looked realistic and we don’t mind admitting we got a bit flustered the first few times we were caught in the open. The famous kitchen scene from the first film is the obvious inspiration for much of the game, as you explore the island complex and try to hide whenever you see or hear a velociraptor nearby. That doesn’t mean it’s entirely ineffective though and the fact that it is VR, and you have no weapons to defend yourself, means encounters with dinosaurs can still be very tense. The more stylised visuals are used so inconsistently we suspect plans were changed some way through development but whatever’s going on, from a visual standpoint, Aftermath is one of the least impressive VR games we’ve seen in a long time. That’s fair enough – photorealistic visuals are expensive – but sometimes the graphics get even more stylised, with 2D clouds floating past the window like a Super Mario game. As you can see, it uses a cel-shaded visual design reminiscent of Telltale’s The Walking Dead games. The first impressions of Aftermath though are less than awe-inspiring. Usually when we’re reviewing VR games the one bit of praise they can rely on is that at least the sense of immersion is impressive.
