I didn't have a great time playing 'Jurassic World: Aftermath' and that's mostly because I find this kind of game grating. Similar in structure to 'Alien: Isolation,' 'JWA' asks you to stealthily perform very simple (minigame-esque) tasks on computer terminals while being hunted by ever-present velociraptors. The tasks themselves aren't fun, and so it's certainly not fun having to wait two minutes to perform the task while hiding under a desk from a velociraptor that won't go away. I really like the art style here, but I really wished for a greater variety of dinosaur encounters. You really only get the one (raptor stealth) repeated ad nauseam. Shame that I've been turned off to 'Part 2,' because the trailer for that shows pterosaurs, Tyrannosaurus rex, and Triceratops all on the attack. Why not any of this in 'Part 1?'
