Park Beyond Review (Luckybutt)
Ok where do I start. First off just go play Planet Coaster. Yea they havent updated the game in a while but it is better than this "new" game. Oh and for those that are saying this is not much of a management game so it is fine for what it is. You havent played the campaign mode or play with money off, with everything unlocked.
Ill start with Pros (cause list is so much shorter)
* There is a game (cant believe that has to be said)
* The campaign mode is actually fun (for the most part)
*With that theres choices that you can make that make the campaign a bit different.
*Impossifications: They are fun and whimsical. But will and do get stale after while so if you are playing for that just play sandbox and unlock all flatrides and shops and impssify everything. View it and then you have your "game"
Cons:
*For those that play Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo you can stop complaining about their pathing because wooboy the pathing here is unbearable. Doesnt let you path in most places because of reasons ie. intersection, too narrow, no reason apparently. Oh and incline wtf - What happened to stairs - Apparently this game doesnt believe that stairs exist.
*Your main attraction (the coasters) have 0 buzz better yet, the shops have more people showing up than the damn coasters (or flat rides) that are perfectly fine.
* You cant make the entrance fees high and make the coasters 0 dollars. Yea they give you the option but then guests leave because prices are too high (8 dollar entrance fee)
* Clipping - Remember the paths? yea they clip weirdly like a mother trucker. Everything clips with everything, rides clip to building, foliage, the ground, benches,
*Staff - they dont just plop into the world no they are like guests and walk in through the entrance. Boy when I worked for a themepark if I came in costume through the entrance my butt would have been handed to me. Not to mention you cant move them nope no pick up and deliver with them. Hell even Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 had that. Not to mention they arent intuitive - They dont do the nearest task (Janitors mainly) they choose to pick a random thing to do and go do it when theres trash or puke infront of them. Will the other Janitor do it? not that I know of because even after 20 min that trash is still there. With 14 Janitors.
*Speaking of moving around stuff. You cant move around shops, flat rides, or coasters that were previously placed. oh and the advanced rotation/movement doesnt work try clicking on a mode and it just places the object down.
All in all dont buy if you did return immediately wait for a sale when they sell a copy for 2 dollars or 1. If you bought it and you cant return im sorry. I am there with you. We wasted money.
