Planet Coaster

I loved roller coaster/amusement type games and I've saved up to buy this game but now that i have it, its so difficult play with because the build mode is so horrible. I'm just upset about how i thought it would be easy and fun but it just turned out confusing and janky. This game is unfriendly to the building aesthetic. Definitely unfriendly to players that want to add their theme to their park. Its very customization when you want to build something. Straight up confusing. I would not recommend this game to anyone.

my friend sterling got this game for free but, i have some words for this. At first, I hated this game. The peeps were ugly, the UI gave me migraines, and my coaster looked like a worm having a seizure. I launched the game thinking I’d build a cute little park and uninstall after an hour. Instead, I spent 6 hours trying to get a path to connect to a toilet. A TOILET. Then I blinked and it was 4AM. My guests were puking and dehydrated, my janitors were unionizing, and I was 20k in debt because I made a haunted house that literally no one wanted to ride. I told myself I’d stop. But then I discovered custom signs. Then triggered events. Then triggered sound effects. Then custom coaster blueprints and steam mods and now I’m spending 4 real-world hours perfecting a horror-themed food court that 7 fake people will walk past without even looking at. My friends play War Thunder. I play God, screaming at pathfinding AI and sacrificing frame rate for vibes. I MADE SWIFTIE LAND FOR CRYING OUT LOUD I don't play this game. I live in it. I rot in it. I dream in queue line grids. I speak in pathing errors. I crave that “100% scenery rating” hit like a junkie in a back alley. My brain is a sandbox map with no auto-save. My loved ones haven’t heard from me since I discovered animatronic skeletons. In short: I hate this game. I hate it so much. 5 stars. 10/10. Send help.

Best roller coaster building simulator out their. Wait until it is on sale to buy (I got it 90% off)

This game is very addicting. Its like TPT2 on Roblox but better. I'd recomend downloading it!

very creative andfun youcan build a lot of stuuf and have a lot of fun

It is mind boggling just how bad it is just to create pathways in this game.

Have not played the career mode as of writing this review but even just the sandbox mode, designing whatever roller coaster I feel like making, is enough for me to like this game. Maybe I should try the career at some point.

Its very fun to play it does take a while to get used to everything but its one of the best games on steam highly recommend if u like to build things or decroate

Warning: There is no tutorial in the game. But other than that, it's a lot of fun. If you loved Roller Coaster Tycoon, you'll probably love this. You just need YouTube tutorials to understand it.

Really cool. I've been getting into business sims, and this has so much to offer!!!

This game really allows for endless creativity. Great attention to detail with the coaster designs. Very accurate to their real-life counterparts. Plus, the presentation is seriously charming and pretty unique for a theme park building game. Much more of relaxing vibe, which suits this type of game well. Some of the building systems are really fidgety, especially the path builder and building grid, which can be extremely time consuming. Overall though, if you're a fan of tycoon games, then Planet Coaster certainly won't disappoint. Side note: this might unironically be one of my all-time favourite video game soundtracks.

Already have 14 hours on this game, I'm very addicted. All fourteen hours have gone into one park, and it is AWESOME

Fun and entertaining, it is a little frustrating on the size of park you can build or the number of items you can place within the park but apart from that i would recommend this game to anyone.

If you want a game that lets you design and build nice looking theme parks you’ll enjoy this. Building can be frustrating and takes a lot of effort to get used to. Thankfully if you’re not that creative the Steam Workshop has you covered. The path system is also kind of wonky. Unfortunately if you want a tycoon management game that lets you run a theme park this is very bare bones and unsatisfying. Management has no depth and it’s almost impossible to fail. As a designer style of game I rate it positive despite not being my cup of tea.

A joyful game to play. The spiritual successor to the Theme Parks and Rollercoaster Tycoons of this world.

Roller Coaster Typhoon. Reminds me of the good ol' days back in middle school where I pop in the CD with the game.

Planet Coaster is a visually stunning theme park simulation game with a lot of potential. Building your own park, designing intricate roller coasters, and managing every detail is incredibly satisfying at first, especially with the amazing customization options and creative freedom the game offers. However, the base game starts to feel limited after a while. While it’s fun to build and experiment, the available content feels somewhat bare-bones, especially when it comes to rides, decorations, and park management features. Without the variety and new features that come with additional DLCs, things can get repetitive quickly. To really get the most out of Planet Coaster, you’ll need to invest in DLCs, which add much-needed depth and diversity. These expansions bring new rides, themes, and mechanics, but they do come at an extra cost. For players who aren’t willing to shell out for these, the experience can quickly feel stale. Verdict: 7/10 Planet Coaster offers great fun for a while, but the base game falls short in content. DLCs are essential for keeping things fresh, making it hard to recommend without additional investment.

It's Great for whatever you have in mind, joy, misery, despair. For example: hitting people with coasters, Fire jets and blinding lights. Or, if you want to do the boorrring way, make it amusing for the guests. (All jokes aside it's a great game do what you want 10/10)

Tried to play this for a couple of hours and I struggle with two things. - Pathing: It's really weird to create a path that just works and goes straight! Instead it's always curved. - Building and placing: Why are there no buttons for like 90 degree rotation? It's clunky as hell!

Very fun game, but all the tricks needed to make a smooth custom coaster is cumbersome and makes building coasters a chore. Hope that was fixed in PC2

Unfortunately, the game did not live up to my expectations. I have experiences from Planet Zoo that is also from Frontier, which is a few years newer than Planet Coaster, and I expected the games to be relatively similar. They are relatively similar in appearance and layout, but there are significantly fewer things that are included in the game without buying DLC. In addition, the management is very confusing and there are few things you can control and change. There is also relatively little to do in this game compared to Planet Zoo. Making rollercoasters and paths was also hard, I struggled quite alot with making good-looking tracks and paths.

This game is sooooo GREAT!!!! If Planet Coaster 2 was more optimized for my old laptop, then that one would be better, for now this one is the better one for me

Very fun game about roller coasters. The packs and DLC's are especially great.

absolutely incredible coaster and theme park building game

really cool game i love creating the rollercoasters and watching the POV of the rollercoasters

The game is nothing like the older rollercoaster tycoons. - The economy is bizzare and it makes no sense. I tried to understand how it works, but i simply got lost. Some times you make lots of income and all of a sudden you just cant make any or viceversa, even if i didnt change any thing. - The coaster and ride selection is very weak in the base game, the dlc does not add much more. - The land that you can own for your park is limited, and can not be expanded, unlike in RCT 3 where the parks could have been HUGE. - Everything feels shallower, even though they somehow added more costumisations? it just does not feel right.

I actually love this game, but I hate Frontier and their corpo greed. I wish I was excited and able to purchase PC2. Money is not the issue, it's their garbage practices, following the industry, in creating unfinished games lacking in content just to try and sell it to us later. They sell a full price game for "sheep" to be beta testers of their trash, and intentionally withhold basic content with the sole purpose of DLC. And now they are dismantling the steam workshop access that made their games king to begin with. Just like Cities Skylines II - ask them how that's going. Eff right off. Did you catch that Frontier? Eff off. I hope you follow in the greedy footsteps of Ubisoft going down in flames so that a passionate, gamer-first studio can rise from your ashes.

They have seem to Abandon Planet coaster for planet coaster 2.... They could of just Expanded one and just offer DLC so cant say its worth buying this... Instead get planet coaster 2 And prob should not spend the money on this :)

coaster planet, planet coaster, coast on the planet, a planet of coaster on the planet coaster.

this game is too hard I have played 7.9 hours and I still cant get a rollar coaster running I will give this game a 0/10 worst game ever

This game is like when you sink 60 goddamn hours into building the perfect park, just for the shitty save system to DELETE THE ENTIRE THING SO YOU HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN

Frontier have made the right choice and removed the AI slop from JWE3. Keep Gen AI out of video games.

Fun to make people fly by sending different types of coasters into them :) Would Recommend :]

This has great play. Has challenges to choose from or sandbox. Definitely worth the price. I will be buying the second one soon!

you can kinda just get on and build whatever you want when your bored

I made a chamber for Chief Beef, where he is shot at, burned, drowned, electricuted, vaporized, blown up, and cooked all for a salary of 12 cents a year.

Why don't the people want to ride my deathtra- i mean rollercoaster. C'mon the coaster has 100 inversions, and 60 minutes of air time. Who doesn't want that?

good game and realistic

hehehehe funny coaster game, you can hit people with ROLLER COASTER

I like messing around making coasters, thats all

Fucking love this game, probably the best buy I've had on steam

Basically just do what josh does if your bored of career.

This game is fun, but i would be better if I had my dog still

great game but i wish there where more coaster varients like a bobsled coaster or some coasters actually in parks

I love this game, I mostly play career mode but love the challenges and did end up buying the zoo and 2nd planet coaster as there is so much to do.

Such a blast. the controls are a bit confusing at first but ultimately a great play

Great game, basically you can do anything. Still would recommend the original RTC's cause you can drown people

You can't test coasters while paused?! Designing and testing coasters, looking at G force and excitement/thrill/nausea stats, making little tweaks, all while working within the confines of budget and space--that was 90% of the gameplay loop of the original series!

This is one of the most fun simulator games I've played. It's what direction RCT should have taken to remain relevant. If you like RCT, you will like this. Frontier did a good job of carrying the torch.

fun game, depending on the person I think they would either like it or dislike it depending on what they like to play.
