Regina and new protagonist Dylan have access to much better weaponry, ammo and recovery items are no longer scarce as you could simply buy it from a shop whose terminals are relatively commonplace, the environment is generally far less claustrophic (thus making it easier to spot enemies early and react in time... usually, that is), and puzzle-solving has been de-emphasized; to compensate, instead of non-boss enemies being usually encountered solo or in pairs at a time, most areas now casually throw 3-4 dinos at you all at once over and over until you've killed about a dozen or two, and the newly introduced Allosaurus serves as a mini-boss of sorts in several areas that can tank a lot of damage and deal a whole lot of it in turn, especially when it [[TurnsRed goes berserk]].
