I liked the original although different to a typical Murder Mystery. This follows in a similar style of an all star cast of crazy characters brought together for a Murder Mystery Game that becomes too real.
Good plot and some twists and turns to keep you guessing. Maybe not quite as good as the original but very close and good fun, although Craig's accent is a bit annoying after a while. Definitely looks good on the big screen.

Think Assassin's Creed (though you're not an assassin. Not that the later entries in that series had you as being one anyway ...), but without the whole Animus concept, or the underpinning Assassin/Templar conflict or the modern day elements.
It's also quite immersive with the Guiding Wind concept leading you to whatever location you had set, instead of cluttering up the screen with a HUD, and the story itself is well told.
Now to try out the Iki Island expansion ...

Or, as one my my mates put it, mental.
This is part of the so-called Monsterverse that saturated with Kong: Skull Island, so did have a few references sprinkled throughout to previous movies.
I *think*, however, you could get away with not having seen all of those - I know I have, but also can't really remember the ins and outs of each, but was still able to follow what was going on.
Most (not all) of this is also set on Hollow Earth, mostly centering around Kong rather than Godzilla.
However, if you want to see gigantic beasts battering each other while building collapse around them and people run screaming for their lives, then this will do you.

Said facilities shut down after the accident in the Park.
And is where Goldblum's returning Dr Ian Malcolm finds himself, on what he believes to be a rescue mission as his hastily-creared paleontologist girlfriend is already on said island.
While not as good as the original film, this is still enjoyable (and takes inspiration from both the second novel as well as from unused portions of the first novel).
