Planet Coaster

Planet Coaster is everything I could want in a simulation game of this type. Good management tools, good building tools, and most of all, it is extremely fun to play. It’s the best amusement park simulation we’ve seen yet, and any complaints that you might have with the variety of rides that it offers are mitigated brilliantly by the use of Steam Workshop to allow the community to broaden the experience. In this way Planet Coaster feels both nostalgic and yet eminently modern.

It’s difficult to explain how awesome Planet Coaster is to someone that hasn’t played it yet. In simple terms, it’s a construction and management sim that lets you create and manage a theme park, but that doesn’t even begin to describe what it really is. Ever wanted to manage your own Disneyland, build your own (and far more accurate) version of Harry Potter World or construct a ride with a scarier angular drop than Saw at Thorpe Park? Planet Coaster can make it happen.

Planet Zoo is the culmination of the best parts of Frontier’s previous efforts, but is far more than the sum of its parts. Hundreds of creatures, both cute and deadly, need homes, and it’s up to you to help them thrive and survive. While a few bugs hamper the overall experience, this is another simulation game that’ll keep me building sprawling and ever evolving parks for hundreds of hours to come.

Planet Coaster is well at the top of the list for roller coaster games. It is easy to get lost in for hours on end and lets you explore the depths of your imagination with nearly limitless creation and design.

Oh were the days of my youth. If I wasn’t playing JRPGs or concocting an evil plan on how I should kill my Sims, I was playing Rollercoaster Tycoon till the wee hours of the morning. Though I haven’t really played this type of game for quite some time, I was presented with Rollercoaster Tycoon 3’s spirit successor Planet Coaster by Frontier Developments. While I’m not one anymore to play a lot of builder games, I couldn’t wait to jump right on this.

While Planet Coaster has some flaws with management and automation, it is nonetheless an excellent theme park simulator that adds many new tools for the aspiring rollercoaster tycoon.

Planet Coaster isn’t perfect yet, but what’s there is just incredibly fun. There’s a lot of learning to do along the way, but with all of the customisation and freedom, Frontier Developments has delivered one of the best possible successors to the Rollercoaster Tycoon franchise. However, it’s an experience that will undoubtedly grow stronger as the game develops over its lifetime, which is something the developer is arguably quite skilled at. Ready to get back into the theme park-building game? Here’s your perfect chance.

Planet Coaster knows its strengths. It's an absolute blast to build attractions and customize each park's look from the ground up, and the game consistently keeps things fun and light. It's hard to shake a feeling of utter satisfaction when one grabs a first-person seat and rides through a freshly built coaster, or watches as a series of triggers make a giant leviathan pop out of a lake every time guests walk near it. The game gives players the ability to create just about anything, giving everyone a significantly deep and highly replayable sandbox experience. Planet Coaster is the theme park ...

Planet Coaster does have its share of issues, however. There are annoying pop-ups; in my case constantly telling me about litter, that no amount of bins and janitorial service would seemingly rectify. The game crashed on me a few times (don’t tab out while the game is autosaving on the fastest simulation speed). The camera can also be a pain to navigate sometimes, but at the end of the day all of these issues are barely even minor blemishes on what is otherwise an excellent simulation game. Planet Coaster gives you such an incredible degree of freedom in creating what you want that any obstacl...
