Alright, this might come as a shock for you...but I like Jurassic Park. I know, who woulda seen that one coming? So in anticipation for the movie that;s coming out, I done goofed and decided to play the Telltale game "Jurassic Park". I'll just give you my thoughts for each episode as i play along. I just did episode 1 aaand...wow, Telltale really learned a lot here when you see The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us. I died here more times than I ever did in Dark Souls and the traveling across areas mechanic is rather wonky. HOWEVER, the thing i do like in this game is that you can the good ol' point-and-click of figuring puzzles out. Something that is sadly missing in today's TT games. There is some potential here so im willing to be suprised here bout the plot and the characters. Note there's no real choices here like you got at the other games (insert sarcastic tone here) where you can change the narrative so keep that in mind.
One thing I want to say tho is that unlike me if you wanna check out this game..dont buy it from Telltale' shop. The 28 bucks aint worth this.

So I'm at Episode 2....hoooo boy. I dont know if it's me sucking at QTE's or my laptop' systems or the game itself but I died so many times it's silly buggers! Kinda glad they stepped doing that shit in the later games. Also I really dig the puzzles here! I feel like a smart cookie after I figured out how activiate a roller coaster ride with arranging all the cars and such.
As for the T-Rex, no idea what I ever did to offend him. That bastard is chasing me throughout the entire game and is out for my blood! I mean...there are a lot of other dudes to eat, guy!
And I'm pretty sure one of the main characters is voiced by Laura Bailey. Not a bad thing, just saying what I think.

Episode 3 aka the episode where I get Avatar flashbacks since I am rooting for the supposed "evil" merc guys instead of the peace loving hippies and the helicopter bitch THAT NEARLY LEFT A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL ON A ISLAND OF BLOODTHIRSTY DINOSAURS! Also I died over 28 times due to those damn QTE's, glad Telltale improved in that regard. Still liking the puzzles and dialogue tho. And the T-Rex still goes after me, the hell did i do to you man?!

I finished episode 4 and thus the game...aaaand yeah, mixed feelings bout this. Two characters suddenly get a case of the crazies and start acting REALLY OOC. Billy the merc guy becomes homocidal and will leave people behind and Dr Sorkin just becomes...i dunno, nuts. Also once more the T-Rex came after me at the end. You know in the movie the bloody thing became the Deus Rex Machina, in here it kept coming after my goddamn blood! The hell?!
But let's not get to rushed here. All in all this is a alright game. The characters are interesting, dialogues is good and there is a lot more lore on Isla Nublar they left out in the movies...and it's canon to! In fact the character Futterman plays is part of the original inhabitants of Isla Nublar and that forced relocation gets mentioned in the website of Jurassic World. Also we find out Hammond is still bit of a dick. Not as much as he was in the books but still pretty bad.
One thing though....I would've liked if they had at least one character in this game that came from the movie or had a cameo by phone. You only see Nedry's dead ass!
My verdict, I suggest you buy this is you are a fan of classic Telltale games or a Jurassic Park fan...but dont waste the 28 bucks on this on their store like I did, it aint worth it.
