“I grew up playing rollercoaster tycoon 3, and rollercoaster tycoon classic and this game is on a whole different level. Although confusing when you first begin especially when transitioning from games such as RCT, one…”

“[h2]Built a coaster with a Puke score of 10![/h2] Planet Coaster is a great theme park simulator. You get control over pretty much every aspect of your park. Managing the park can be fun and sometimes cumbersome and drive you mad. Overall being able to construct custom roller…”
— a player, Steam review · 9 hrs played“The game is deeper and bigger than I expected. I suggest starting with the vanilla version and turning off all the DLCs, because even then it’s already overwhelming, and the game offers little to no tutorial for its many features and mechanics. This is my first Planet Coaster…”
— a player, Steam review · 30 hrs played“So I used to play a lot of RCT 3 as a kid, and yesterday I randomly stumbled across this game on sale. I gave it a try... and it’s Totally worth it! I didn’t expect to have this much fun again! :)”
