About
Jurassic World Aftermath is a 2020 virtual reality stealth game developed by Coatsink Software and published by Oculus Studios for the Oculus Quest and Oculus Quest 2. It is based on the Jurassic Park franchise. It takes place on the island of Isla Nublar, two years after the events of the 2015 film Jurassic World. For much of the game, the player is hunted by velociraptors while proceeding through a facility on the island.
Jurassic World Aftermath: Part 2, a continuation in the form of paid downloadable content (DLC), was released in 2021. A non-VR version for Nintendo Switch without involvement from Oculus, titled Jurassic World Aftermath Collection and containing both parts, was released by Coatsink the following year. A VR version of Jurassic World Aftermath Collection was released by Coatsink for the PlayStation 5 via PlayStation VR2 in 2023.

Gameplay
Jurassic World Aftermath is a stealth game played from a first-person perspective. It takes place on Isla Nublar, two years after the events of Jurassic World, and prior to the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The player takes control of Sam, a silent security expert who is sent to the island to infiltrate its ruins and obtain information. Their plane crashes on the island after an encounter with a Pteranodon.
The player is aided by an offscreen partner named Dr. Amelia "Mia" Everett, who is injured following the plane crash and stays behind. From her location, she provides the player with mission objectives and updates.
Development
Jurassic World Aftermath was developed by Coatsink Software, based in the U.K. Coatsink conceived the game in 2019, after approaching Universal Pictures about developing a Jurassic World game. The game was revealed in September 2020, and was published by Oculus Studios on December 17 the same year.
The game is reminiscent of a scene in the first Jurassic Park film, in which characters use stealth to avoid raptors in a kitchen. Brian Gomez, an executive producer for Universal Games and Digital Platforms, said: "There were countless hours spent trying to balance the velociraptor because she was just so damn good. AI really [progressed] to the point where it was very few of us that could actually survive her. And I think we finally got to the point where, when you first start, you're probably going to die a lot. You're going to die a lot until you start learning her behavior and … reading her body language and audio cues".
Reception
Jurassic World Aftermath received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic. Fellow review aggregator OpenCritic assessed that the game received weak approval, being recommended by 40% of critics. Critics stated that the game would appeal to fans of the Jurassic Park franchise. The graphics and sound were generally praised.
Harry Baker of UploadVR wrote: "Despite not being photo realistic, there's something about the comic book-inspired look that almost helps immersion — instead of being hung up on how everything looks compared to reality, you're immediately immersed in a terrifying comic book world littered with dinosaurs". Eric Hillery of Bleeding Cool wrote that the graphics are "more than enough to make the idea of being eaten or jump-scared downright unpleasant, but without bringing the type of gore that some users might find traumatizing".
