“The Devs seem to care about the game, which is enough for me. It`s not perfect, but after some updates, I`d say its surpassed the First one, even though its still missing features”

“Great theme park game, it's way better than planet coaster, the coaster builder is great and easy to learn, the game also has good graphics.”
“If you like management and building sims, you can't really go wrong with PlanCo2. Construction can be rather tedious what with the lazy approach to pathing and the numerous restrictions and bugs that constrain some…”

“It doesn't deserve the love its community has for it. The game has absolute 0 difficulty and is boring.”
“This game is a blast... if you play it right! This game is more about slowing down to enjoy things, not blowing through the level objectives ASAP. Most objectives are fairly easy, so it allows the player to take time…”

“Was fun just like the first game. Pools and flumes were a good addition. There a quite a few bugs that need fixing, but nothing game breaking. I don't like have much they lock behind DLC. Like the first, the community…”

“Where are all the rides and all the scenery. Downloaded this as an upgrade on RCT3 and yes in game play it is better but unless you want to build a water park, your theme park is going to be lacking. Such a huge sandbox…”
“As a huge fan of Planet Coaster this game is just not worth it. the graphics, HUD, Pathbuilding and Coaster Building is much better than the 1st game. So this game isnt totally horrible. BUT it feels as if it were a…”

“I love tycoon games and I'm autistic about rollercoasters but the learning curve for this game is so immensely annoying that its hard to give it a solid "good" rating.”
“I nearly pulled my hair out trying to figure out building and pathing. I'm 10 hours in and I still get too frustrated to make anything substantial. The help tabs in game don't help at all. If you really want the game…”

— a player, Steam review · 3,706 hrs played“I keep trying to play this game, but I just can’t really get into it. It feels like there’s not enough content—things like decorations and rides are pretty limited. I even bought the DLCs, but they barely add anything worthwhile. You end up paying quite a lot for very little…”
