It’s all very overwhelming something that the game does address with a lengthy tutorial but don’t expect to leap right in and begin making a profit instantly.

You’re given an incomprehensible menu that only feeds into smaller sub-menus, all of which need to be navigated through with several dozen clicks on the D-pad. Either go all in and build your own park from scratch or play through the game’s campaign which mostly tasks you with taking broken down or failing theme parks and turning them aroundĪre you in the mood for a freeform experiment or do you want to play with certain goals in mind? Either way, the sheer amount of variety available in Planet Coaster is almost befuddling upon starting up the game. Harking back to those classic management simulation games like Zoo Tycoon and Roller Coaster Tycoon, Planet Coaster has multiple ways for the player to express their inner Disneyland. If you’ve played this sort of game before you know exactly what to expect from Planet Coaster.
PLANET COASTER PS4 REVIEW SERIES
It’s a fantastic management game and arguably a stellar RPG (if you’ll excuse the semantics) that runs wonderfully on the Xbox Series S, hampered only by some slight issues with the game’s controls. Surprises like that come few and far between in this industry, and Planet Coaster was certainly one of them for me. Thus, I went into it expecting very little, but was instead met with an entire weekend that consumed all my waking hours. Such was the case with Planet Coaster: Console Edition, a game that landed on my desk of reviews and I accepted just so I could throw something on my shiny new Xbox Series S. So I never go out of my way to actually play them but sometimes I end up stumbling into one. I suppose I have it in my head that they all play exactly the same, just revolving around different themes. The whole “management” genre is one that I rarely play and that confuses me somewhat.
