The Minecraft of the logistics management world. If you haven't played Factario, you're missing out on a lot, especially if you've played Satisfactory. Buy this. Now. This game is more addict-prone than an orphaned son with a family history.

Do you happen to be a fan of the old Roller Coaster Tycoon 3?

Have you been craving more? Planet Coaster is the top-notch theme park sim of the next generation. Granted not without problems that are actively addressed by the development team, the sim has been through numourous updates and patches. Much improved since its Beta release, its a satisfyingly gorgeous theme park simulator running at 60 FPS on mid to high-end machines. The best part of it - it's in active development (as of this review in Feb 2018). Have a problem? Report it and they listen.

For the achiever - Build and manage your own park, hire staff, run marketting campaigns for your park, keep your park secure and safe, perform every task a park manager would in real life and then some. Address guest problems and concerns, take on scenerios and challenges, take up the challenge of managing your theme park on a budget.

For the designer - let your creativity run wild in sandbox mode - unlimited money, limitless possibilities thanks to a plethera of DLC and the Steam Workshop. You can create assets or import others the community has made. Live Streams are offered for advanced designer topics like the custom coaster design and special effect programming, triggers, and lighting.

Custom Coasters - You can go piece-by-piece like the original Roller Coaster Tycoon games with pre-made track components or go full blown advanced mode with 3D modeler-like curve editing tools. Banked turns and inversions, they're all possible. Advanced break timing, lift hill acceleration, the old features you saw in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 have returned on steroids.

Objects and assets - Each and every object in the game has an advanced mode where the object can be pulled apart piece by piece and customized. This involves content featured in the DLC packs as well. Rotate, transform, pull apart, and rebuild an object to your liking if you so choose.

Be as OCD in Design as you like, or be the acheiver. Both pathways of enjoying this game hold MUCH in store for both demographics of people. Game recommended for the sim buff and those with a spark of creativity about them.

Personal experience:

I can't get enough!

This game's key mechanic totally gives it replay value! Although it is simple in graphical nature, the story is addicting, shocking, will make you cry and laugh, and hate yourself, all at once. It's a great game, and I'd recommend you'd play it to its fullest. The genocide run will make you rethink your life. ;)
