While most people are likely to jump into the Sandbox mode and start building the park of their dreams right away, the Career Mode actually does a better job of helping you get to grips with all the controls. The graphical quality is fantastic too and despite some fiddly controls that do have a bit of a steep learning curve, zooming in close and seeing the level of detail is just as impressive as it is on PC. While there are tutorial videos available to watch, the career mode now features a fully revamped tutorial section, complete with a very handy guide on making palatable rollercoaster tycoons for your patrons.īoasting bright colours and an upbeat soundtrack, Planet Coaster nails its aesthetic perfectly and the bright, vibrant colours are an excellent choice. A lot of the UIs, menus and aesthetics are the same, with the main menu noticeably rejigged slightly to put emphasis on the three big elements to this game – Career, Sandbox and Challenge mode. Many console enthusiasts have been itching to get their hands on Frontier’s PC-bound title for a long time and with Playstation 5 now upon us, what better time than now to get stuck in and create the theme park of your dreams.įor those of you who have played Planet Coaster on PC, many elements of this console edition are the same. Still, there’s an incredible amount of customization here that truly lets you go wild and create the theme park of your dreams. Planet Coaster is an accessible and creative title but also relatively basic when it comes to its management sim elements. With many titles since Rollercoaster Tycoon failing to strike the right balance between creativity and theme park management, Frontier’s latest addition to the sim line-up is probably as close to a natural step forward for this genre of games as we’re likely to get.

At the end of the 90’s, Frontier released one of the best theme park titles of all time in Rollercoaster Tycoon, a game that felt like a natural successor to what Bullfrog had produced in 1994’s Theme Park.
