Planet coaster

I will check this out for sure. I put a zillion hours into Theme Park on GOG.com and the throw up sounds still sometimes haunt my dreams.

Just purchased, installing now. Will report back soon.

Bought this on steam, played for 10 minutes then requested refund. Now im feeling guilty for not giving it a proper try, the UI was really tiny and it was like 3AM and couldnt work out how to make things bigger. Will probably purchase again at a later date if more positive reviews come in.

There is a sliding scale for the UI, but the UI does start extremely small.

yeah i knew i'd be able to change it after i watched a few youtube videos, will almost definately re purchase at some stage. Struggling to find time for any games other than OW atm though.

What an odd impulse purchase/refund.

Caliane is right that its a game for builders first and managers second.

That being said, there still is a lot of managing aspects. Price per ride, per building, entrance fees, marketing your park, getting/paying loans, researching new rides/buildings, training your staff(this includes vendors, entertainers, maintenance, janitors) plus their salary. Setting priorities for staff to focus on certain areas of the park more often. Managing guest and staff happiness. I'm sure there is more I'm missing. Is it all that challenging? Not really, but its not cruise control either.

To add to what others have said the terrain morphing is amazing, you build a ride then easily build up the terrain around it in ways that is almost creepy looking, it literally grows and molds around your rides. I made a log flume ride but it looked pretty boring, so I raised the terrain around parts of it to make a cavern system, added some lights and rocks/shrubbery and boom awesome looking ride. Huge props for this technology as every other theme park game I made if you messed with the terrain afterwards it would break the rides.

I gave up making building after about an hour of trying to puzzle out how to make a bathroom with a castle theme that didn't look like shit. I think just went on steam workshop and grabbed a bunch of prefabs to reverse engineer and teach myself how to make this stuff.

Also I am finding that queue location is massively important, I like to space out my rides equally and have the queues have their own theme but I find myself out of cash when I do it that way. So I space the rides out equally but have all entrances facing the same direction and make the queues basically run right next to each other. This way when I make my pirates shooting redcoats encounter every queue will see it and appreciate it saving me lots of money and allowing me to charge more for each ride. Only about 4 hours played but I do feel it was worth the cash. The sarlacc pit mission was pretty cool, and gave me some great ideas for what all can be done with the props to keep the guests happy.

Hrmm I found some really fucking cool collections in the workshop for my spooky side of the park under horror searches. Kinda feel like cheating though.

Really thinking about getting this. I've been trying to find something that my wife can play to replace her Candy Crush addiction. It's bad.

Man the customization and types of parks/rides you can make is just awesome, truly is amazing. I mean the things you can create are truly amazing. Man some creative shit you can make in this.....you can actually mold the terrain to where you can make a ride go underground and then have side areas in this underground network that have scenery with triggered effects and the like. Just need a great imagination and time and you can make some really fantastic things with what is given. Great successor to RCT and not that abortion that calls itself RCT World.

If anyone gets this, do yourself a favor and actually ride the cars in the sarlac pit park. 90% of it is underground so from the surface it doesn't look anything special but it's an amazing ride and really gives a great taste for the kind of things you can make

Great patch and yea that ride is amazing with the hentai tentacles. I just burn hours making my awesome amusement park and dont regret buying this at all. Hope this gets a Soaked type expansion as that was great expansion. Game is fun no doubt.

this is the most insane thing ever, moonraker the movie scenes recreated as roller coaster rides

Put this in VR like RIGHT NOW.
