Planet Coaster

Just like good old fashioned rollercoaster tycoon. The game has a lot of things to offer wether that be the basics or more advanced features. The difficulty is well-balanced, probably the hardest part is building the roller coaster themselves. Best of all, the game doesn’t require any DLCs, if you want to finish the career mode and get all the achievements. In general, the base game is enough for tens of hours of fun. I remember getting this thing for less than 2 euro, which was a steal, but I wouldn’t spend much more than that.

[h3]Final Rating: 9/10[/h3] [h3]Introduction[/h3] Planet Coaster is a modern theme park simulation and management game developed by Frontier Developments, spiritual successor to classics like RollerCoaster Tycoon. It allows players to build, manage, and customize their dream amusement park with a level of creative freedom rarely seen in the genre. Known for its detailed coaster creation tools and vibrant visuals, Planet Coaster has become a favorite among fans of sandbox and management sims alike. [h3]Gameplay and Mechanics[/h3] The game is divided into three main modes: Career, Sandbox, and Challenge. In Career Mode, players complete objectives within pre-built parks. Challenge Mode introduces budgeting and goals in a freeform setting, while Sandbox Mode allows limitless building without financial constraints. The standout feature is the incredibly detailed coaster and scenery editor, which enables players to craft custom rides and landscapes piece by piece. Path systems, building designs, and ride layouts can be tweaked to perfection, giving full control over the park's look and function. Behind the creativity is a solid management system, requiring players to balance guest satisfaction, finances, staff, and ride maintenance. While not as complex as pure business sims, it offers enough depth to keep players engaged beyond building. [h3]Graphics and Atmosphere[/h3] Visually, Planet Coaster is charming and polished, with colorful parks, expressive guests, and beautifully animated rides. The whimsical art style enhances the fun, and dynamic lighting and weather effects add to immersion. The game’s audio is equally impressive, featuring an upbeat soundtrack, realistic crowd noise, and the iconic screams of thrill-seeking guests. Custom music and voiceover support add further personality to each park. [h3]Replayability and Community[/h3] The game’s Steam Workshop integration and extensive modding support make it incredibly replayable. Thousands of user-created rides, buildings, and entire parks are available to download, constantly refreshing the experience. Whether perfecting park aesthetics, managing guest flow, or testing custom coasters, there’s always something new to try. Console versions include many of these features, though with slightly fewer customization tools than the PC version. [h3]Conclusion[/h3] Planet Coaster is a joyous, detailed, and highly creative theme park simulator. It balances robust building tools with solid park management, offering hours of fun for both casual builders and dedicated sim fans. While its management systems could be deeper, its creative freedom and community support more than make up for it. [b]Pros:[/b] - Deep and flexible building tools - Stunning visuals and audio design - Vibrant community and mod support - High replay value with diverse game modes [b]bCons:[/b] - Management mechanics are relatively light - Can be overwhelming for newcomers - Console UI is less intuitive than PC [h3]Final Rating: 9/10[/h3] A must-play for fans of simulation and creativity, Planet Coaster delivers an endlessly entertaining and visually delightful theme park experience.

Tortured 1000+ people for 10 in-game days straight, built a death-defying rollercoaster, evaded taxes, got in jail, escaped. And then got home and played Planet Coaster 10/10 would evade taxes again

This game is really good, it includes everything it should have. My only complaint is how I have a very old mac, So i can't play Planet Coaster 2, and it looks super fun. But, maybe they could add the whole "Attach scenery to ride" Or A scale tool, But overall, This game deserves a 9/10 Rating.

The number of rides, stalls, and scenery pieces in the base game is unmatched. The game really allows you to be creative in how to design your park. I recommend this one if you are into management-style games because the level of detail in how you manage staff members, vendors, rides, signs for advertising, and even the ability to sync things like fireworks with certain triggers. This game provides the nostalgia of the original favorite, Roller Coaster Tycoon, but goes much more in depth, enriching the experience.

I enjoy limitation in creative games, it both gives you a bar for roughly how good you can make something, and makes the final result both more rewarding and impressive. Sometimes less is more, and this game is far too much more.

Cant have "free roam fun" no cheats for more money or more rides, definitely not what it used to be. Parks arent even big enough to fit more than one coaster.

Never really cared for the scenarios. I always liked going into sandbox mode and going crazy.

Great game has long list of pros with not many cons such as a strategy side to the game and takes in all accounts of reality the only con really is the game is very addicting. More than 12 hours on first day of buying.

Needs a tutorial for learning how to play the game for anyone new to this type of game. It is extremely confusing at times, and mechanics can be hard to move around also. I like the game from my attempts of playing... but would find it more enjoyable with a tutorial so I could learn the ropes of playing better. Trying to figure it out is a little stressful.

"Planet Coaster" looks amazing, but playing it can be a headache. The management aspects feel overly complicated, and the UI is a mess, making even simple tasks frustrating. Sure, you can build crazy roller coasters, but actually running a park efficiently feels more like work than fun. If you just want to make cool rides, it’s fine—but as a tycoon game, it’s more stressful than enjoyable.

This game is awesome i have been playing for mac and through steam forever and it never grows old the peeps who design and build outstanding in the community is always getting better.. This game timeless classic!! note devs please please make planet coaster2 for mac or if any thing allow us to use vm machine!!.. go it on my steam deck!!!

This game is not meant for people to get into and learn. If you're not good at tycoon money management and want to learn, this isn't the game to do it in. Poorly designed and if you don't have a guide to explain how to start, you basically HAVE to get a new save.

I could play this for hours and not get bored, the AI is amazing the graphics are amazing how you build your theme park is amazing, everything about this game is awesome, I’m lucky to get it when it was on sale for 12$

the game is quit addicting for casuals but inserver full gamrs wouldnt like it

This game is fun. There is some things that I don't really like but the coasters are fun to make. Some times. The flat rides look cool. This games is just good

Very fun game. Lots of options for creating parks, coasters, and rides. Very similar to the old Roller Coaster Tycoon games but with updated graphics and gameplay options. Plus the park management is very detailed if you're into that aspect of the game.

Some time back, I was driving home from college on the highway one day when suddenly, a car behind me didn't stop when the rest of traffic was. They were probably going about 60-70 miles per hour. Regardless, they slammed into my vehicle, and I'll spare you the worst details. As horrifying as that experience was, I'd still say the most painful thing I've ever done in my life is trying to place paths in this game.

As a professional coaster maker, bt dubs, I recommend that they make it possible for me to shoot people into the moon with the death coaster. However, I can't be allowed to use the coaster in the maner that I wish for this game because they want to "keep people safe" and "make sure that the community is happily alive" JOKES. LIARS. THEY DO NOT WANT MY POWER INSIDE OF THE PARK. something awful just happened to me while i was writing this review. sorry I had to pause writing for your entertainment. It was important. I am in agony. Though this game was fun. I did like making it so that people had to pay to p33 inside of a clown. Bathroom. Bathroom to be clear. 10/10 really enjoyed this game.

Just The Realistic Physics And Enjoyment Levels For Theme Park / Roller Coaster Enthusiast.

Wonderful game, this game bring out your creativity to make the part colorful ad joyful. Overall 10/10

Bro I got so many hours on this game despite my pc struggling loading everything later on. I am limited by my awful pc yet it is still a game I can't put down. Although I do hate how some controls and options are just more limiting than they should be which I don't understand are in the sequel rather than this one.

[h1] de enige game die me laat ragequitten [/h1] ik ben een cozy gamer. ik schreeuw niet naar mijn computer, ik ben niet competittief ingesteld. Ik ben calm cool en collected. tot ik dit klote spel speel. my god. elke keer als ik dit spelletje wil spelen denk ik "ja lets go, laat ik een gedrocht van een pretpark bouwen''. En dan ben ik enthousiast he! Dan heb ik daar ontzettend zin in! Dan ben ik mezelf al helemaal lekker aan het maken met het pretpark in kwestie. En dan... dan.. dan open ik het spelletje en besef ik me dat ik blijkbaar elke keer vergeet hoe tering irritant de controls zijn. nee, ik wil je niet horen over skill issue; je moeder is een skill issue anyways, ik krijg een soort reverse asmr ervan. Als ik pixel voor pixel een bloempot probeer neer te zetten. Of een berg probeer te maken. brrrr.... en dan ben ik nog niet eens aan een achtbaan toegekomen. ja dan word ik emotioneel. Dan gaat het me hoog zitten. Je zou zelfs kunnen zeggen... een achtbaan aan emoties. hopelijk is dat spelletje met die dierentuin beter

It's a very fun game, even if it's an outdated game.

I didn't know that I would enjoy this game so much. Love all the little details that can be added, down to sound effects and bees.

I love Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, which I played as a kid. This is similar to this in some ways but with added features and much more customization features. Not super intuitive at times to figure out the controls, but I've found it to be a lot of fun.

I really like this game. It reminds me of the old Rollercoaster Tycoon. But I'm getting frustrated. No matter what I do in my park, I'm always, ALWAYS teetering on having negative funds. I'll climb over zero a few hundred bucks, then back down to negative a few hundred bucks, then back again... I've been designing this park for hours and I just can't get ahead. Seems almost artificially controlled - NOTHING I do helps. NOTHING I do seems to make a difference at all. It's weird. I don't remember it being like this when I played a couple years ago.

In many ways, Planet Coaster is a very detailed "Roller Coaster Tycoon 3", but with even more detail and freedom for creativity. For anyone with a roller coaster and theme park passion, this game has just about everything you could ask for. Obviously no game is ever perfect, but you can tell that Frontier really put a lot of time and detail into creating something special here.

AAAA+++ Title. Top Notch Quality Game Experience.

You can build rollercoasters to torture people and they´ll still complain that it´s not exciting enough

its fun to cause mayham with unsuspecting people

great game, lose the concept of time when I play

crap game, what's the point of entry ticket prices if setting to even $1 people return and go home?

Nothing will make up for the terrible shadow pop in. So fucking stupid just let people use their gpus.

Planet coaster is love planet coaster is life for the love of intamin i do not need to go to rehab

Extremely fun and can be challenging.

I have played this game a while now and have never really committed to a park until today (except the 'challenge' mode that I suck at) and wanted to try really hard to make a nice looking park on a sandbox world so I attempted to make custom buildings and stuff. It was going fine at first and I tried to learn the building controls, but they are so unnecessarily hard. Some walls snap to buildings while others don't. There are roofing types for a 45 degree roof that is 4 meters high, but not one for the smaller 2 meter high roof?! There is a 'snap' grid that stops you from having intersecting objects but turning it off makes everything uneven. You can terraform with circles, but not a square shape??? The building feels all janky but the rest of the game feels fine. I suppose it is a roller coaster sim and got what I expected, but I believe that the buildings should be a large part of the experience too. I felt that the park seems bland with everything existing outside.

its fun but you prob wanna get the 2nd version of the game.

I absolutely adore dropping roller coaster carts on a family of four

very fun but gets kinda confusing

very good very nice very good very nice

i play planet coaster on mac. i first got the game on the app store, and kinda lived to regret it after i found out that theme makers toolkit is a thing. then i got it on steam with all the dlcs included for 45 DOLLARS! but i seriously recommend this game, even without dlcs. i know dlcs make it better but to be honest this game is very different from theme park tycoon, in a good way. there are some flaws but for the most part everything is near perfect. please watch a couple of videos before you buy the game but to be honest all those videos are going to tell you the same thing i'm telling you. thanks for reading this review!

Fun until you get over 1000-1500 guests and the game crawls to 15 FPS no matter the Resolution or Graphics settings on a PC that should be more that powerful to run this Ryzen 5 1600x GTX 1080

its super great if you have a creative mind because you can do and built what you want in this game but the only bad thing is that we have a limit to building space

i am new to coaster games. Or was before i refunded this. and i thought the career may help me a step-by-step how to manage a park. their tutorial is "go over to youtube and watch some vids" Oh yeah. sure.

it's a great game . very interesting to play with . that make you forget about how long you have been on it .

game worth picking on discount, without discount - hard to recommend imo

effing amazing... extreme learning curve but worth it entirely.

Its a good game cant wait to check out 2.0
