“🎮Parkitect provides gameplay that closely matches the experience of playing RollerCoaster Tycoon games. The premise remains unchanged because our mission requires us to operate an amusement park through designing and…”
“Partkitect is a game warmly reminiscent of Rollercoaster, where much reference is chalked to that famous forefather. 🧠The game makes us play as both the amusement park manager and the owner who must develop their…”
“The customization in this game is insane. You can even make a penis if you want to”

“Great game! I love playing co-op with my girlfriend and making custom coasters. Very well made game, love the art style.”
“By far the best co-op multiplayer management game I have ever played. You can fully play the campaign mode in co-op. After that, there are DLC maps AND custom campaigns to play. Of course you can also do sandbox. It's…”
“Incredible theme park game which works similar to big titles like Planet Coaster, but better! The option to play both sandbox AND campaign Co-Op is a huge selling point that most developers miss out on, which is…”

“Great game! I love playing co-op with my girlfriend and making custom coasters. Very well made game, love the art style.”
“Awesome park sim game, gave me a little boost from RCT series into Planet Coaster. Its a sweet spot for inbetween the two. Graphics are good, take some getting used to if you are totally 3D oriented. But its GREAT…”
“7/10 Not quite as good as the original RCT2 but with much better graphics”

“for the first hour or so its confusing but after you figure it out its awsome, i spent a wole day playing this on the weekend without realising it”
“Absolutely adore this game. 1. I love the campaign. It gets progressively harder and teaches you along the way. 2. I LOVE isometric building and this just scratches that itch. 3. Has a sandbox mode if you just wanna…”
“The spiritual successor of Rollercoaster Tycoon. It's a bit overwhelming at first, as there are a lot of things to understand, but then you start to feel the magic. Either by chilling on the sandbox mode or following…”

“Wer Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 mochte, wird das hier lieben! Hunderte Mods und die echt guten DLC`s machen hieraus für Leute, die WiSims mögen aber es lieber locker angehen wollen, ein Spiel, mit dem Sie ez hunderte von…”
“This game is VERY addicting! Shout out the Dev for adding Steam Workshop integration, and for allowing us to add custom images, text, and music to our parks!”
“The game is basically Rollercoaster Tycoon and Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 with more modern graphics and a couple new mechanisms. If you like those games you should enjoy this. Modders have pretty much ported over those two…”

“No Undo button? Unforgivable here. Might as well remove the block button on fighter games, or forget to add in guns in a shooter game.”
“i would love to love this game, unfortunately i am constantly at war with the control scheme (since i am unable to rebind certain actions), the horrible camera, and seemingly random bugs or quirks that make it outright…”
“As great as this game is, I have to give it a thumbs down for several reasons: 1. No undo button (that I could find). This is egregious in a builder game. 2. No first person view while riding on the rides. 3. With a few…”

“The game feels well polished and comes with a good quantity of content. The issue I have is that it is very much a clone of Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. And I do mean a clone - not a similar game in style but almost…”

“I really like it so far. The park guests are pretty funny to watch! I also like the grid-like style and that I had the option to snap things, like plants, to the grid or not. Park Management is pretty straightforward…”
“Nothing will beat RC Tycoon 2, it's the goat. This game is fairly similar in many ways with a few changes. I like that with this game you need to manage the behind the scenes, like the stock, staff paths etc. It is more…”

“Parkitect is the spiritual successor to RollerCoaster Tycoon and it is FANTASTIC! I generally write a pros and cons list for each of the games I review, but I don't need to do it for Parkitect because I only have good things to say. This game is an absolute BANGER and I think it…”
— a player, Steam review · 52 hrs played“The only Theme Park games better than this one are the OG Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe, and Sim Theme Park. This is essentially a clone of RCTycoon and that's it's best feature. The additions or changes to gameplay are basically just two. First one being how important…”
— a player, Steam review · 46 hrs played“Absolute masterpiece of a modernized take on roller coaster tycoon. I loved playing RCT while growing up along with the management piece of the park. Tried Planet Coaster, it was good but didn't quite scratch that itch. I came across this game after scrounging around (didn't…”
