I've spent nearly 1,200 hours playing Planet Coaster: Console Edition on the PS4, and while the game is a lot of fun, it often crashes, and I had some difficulties with the controls as well. However, I decided to try the PC version and am glad I did. The controls on PC are quite simple and responsive, making the game easier to manage and enjoy. 10/10

I bought at full price on release date. Currently its on sale for $2.24...BUY. The DLC side of this game is a money grab from Frontier but you will get some good vanilla game play. Its like a super tuned up RCT and pretty enjoyable if you like these type of games. $2.24 is a steal.

Having left a negative review for the sequel I feel it's only fair to leave a positive one for this. It's a great game, which has provided me with years of entertainment and the Steam workshop allows for plenty of customisation. The only negatives are the poor optimisation and the path system, but overall it's brilliant.

I have been playing this game for over 12 hours. I can say its a good game even for a person of my age 51. I entertaining and fun. There is plenty to do and more than enough space to build a fare ground. I have experimented with different items to see what they all do. You can add security cameras that make it more fun when viewing them. Just go to watch those thieving swine who go pick pocketing and the people who vandalise things. You have security who escort them of site. I am still learning. I read that folks want a bigger map. Its not city skylines. You building a fairground of theme park. I will recommend the game. I use ultra graphic setting and get 79 to 97 fps so is good but I do have a high end computer.

In my opinion, this is the greatest sandbox game ever made. The amount of creativity this game allows for is endless, and the game has an amazingly happy and cheerful atmosphere at all moments that just makes it so fun and lighthearted to play. There's also just so much to do depending on how you want to play, whether you want to build a massive theme park that takes months or you just want to design realistic coasters or you want to challenge yourself and play on a tight budget, this game has something for everyone, and I HIGHLY RECCOMEND it to all theme park/roller coaster lovers. I've never had more pure fun in a video game than I do in Planet coaster.
