Heartwarming / Jurassic World: Evolution

Go To

  • Among the species revealed to be in the game is Crichtonsaurus. A fitting way for the series to pay tribute to its creator, who died a decade earlier.
  • Look at all the moments in Jurassic World along the lines of "just that the park exists," then realize that, in this game, you're responsible for doing the same thing. Six times.
    • On a related note, achieving five stars on each and every island earns you some genuine, if fairly cautious, praise from Ian Malcolm. A stark contrast from his opinion of John Hammond and Jurassic Park in general, but he comes to recognize the player’s adaptability and efficiency in dealing with everything the islands and dinosaurs throw at them.
  • Though known for being Ax-Crazy and sadistic, with a bit of work, it is possible to keep the Indominus rex and the Indoraptor comfortable enough in their pens that they never make any attempts to escape, even with the weakest fence. Considering the backstory of the film's I. rex as a neglected and thoroughly mistreated animal, seeing her calm, thriving and content, living peacefully like the other large carnivores makes the effort worth it. And the Indoraptor in the film was solely meant to be a weapon, kept in a tiny cage and never knew anything close to a proper habitat. In this game, you can clone your own Indoraptors and give them a proper, comfortable life.
    • If you remember that the I. rex ate its own sibling, then it gets even more heartwarming once you unlock the gene from Secrets of Dr. Wu that allows you to increase a dinosaur's social stat, meaning you can keep two I. rexes together.
    • In Evolution 2, the Indominus rex and the Velociraptor have each other in their "Likes" category, meaning they are compatible to be enclosed together without any posturing or fighting. Now she can finally have a family to live with peacefully and comfortably.
  • On a similar note, some of the promotional content and backstory for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom strongly implied that the Spinosaurus had been subjected to torturous experimentation in its youth, which would explain its hatred of humans. When you unlock Isla Sorna, there's already a wild Spinosaurus running around, which strongly implies that it's the same one from Jurassic Park III - and since you won't have any Spinosaurus DNA yet, you'll definitely want to keep this one. Taking this angry, tortured dinosaur and giving it a proper home where it can live in peace and comfort is so nice.
  • With the new "Claire's Sanctuary" DLC, which has you moving dinosaurs from Isla Nublar (which, like in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is about to explode) to a sanctuary. What this means is that you can avoid one of the most tear-jerking moments in the entire franchise. YOU CAN SAVE THE BRACHIOSAURUS!!!!
  • Really just everything about the Return to Jurassic Park DLC. Even putting aside the fact that it's an expansion dedicated to Call Backs of the original trilogy (which alone hits the Nostalgia Filter for many, many people), you as the player can help John Hammond correct his mistakes and bring his dream to reality in an Alternate Continuity where he'll actually live to see it.
    • Any of the occasions where Ellie and Alan basically show how in love they are.
    Alan: I don't know what he [Hammond] sees in that Cabot kid.
    Ellie: People say that to me about you.
    Alan: Do they, huh? People. People like Dr Rock Star?
