Where Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis sits on the grid

The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.

Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.

What readers say about Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis

Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
