I am a 75 year old senior who is basically a technical idiot so I have found it a little daunting to follow the training as I am not overly familiar with all the terms and guides, however I plug away with a little progress each time I play with trial and error in sandbox mode and I try to follow some of the internet samples. I will try one of the more advanced modes when I feel ready but for now I am finding it a great way to learn some of the game's quirks and enjoy the game at the same time.

Best spiritual successor to zoo tycoon. 10/10, absolutely dangerous if you have ADHD (will kill your concept of time)

June 2024

When I first got this game in 2019 I was so disappointed. The micromanagement really put me off as It was so much more in depth than previous zoo games. My zoos kept failing and I stopped playing for at least a year. When I picked it up again I bought 4-5 dlcs that had been released and gave it another whirl. After 1600 hours it's safe to say this is now my favourite game. My tips would be: -Do the career mode if you're a beginner -Watch some of the amazing Youtubers, (ZSHPlays and Ladydesigner are brilliant). -Slow down animal aging in franchise mode, it helps prevent overwhelm when trying to grow your zoo above 4 or 5 enclosures. PROS: 10000s building pieces, you can get really creative Beautiful graphics Frequent updates by the developers Franchise mode provides enough challenge for achievement driven people like myself (breeding gold shiny animals) Educational and entertaining for my toddler Developers Quick to fix bugs Cons: erm....I play it too much?

Cons: - it barely explains the controls - building can be a massive pain - trying to set up work zones and keep employees happy requires an engineering degree or something Pros: - the animals are cute - once you figure things out you can build some pretty impressive zoos - you can make custom buildings to house your employee buildings, and save the blueprints for use in other zoos - the career mods story line is kind of interesting Def recommend playing career mode to learn the game, since it also unlocks decorations for you to use in other zoos (mostly animal statues, but they're kinda cute animal statues.) I didn't expect there to be a sort of story line with career mode when I started it, but there is and it's kind of interesting to follow along in! Some of the animals can be annoying with how quickly they breed, since their numbers cna very quickly get out of control. Peacocks especially are bad about that, if you're not careful you'll end up with more than your keepers can keep up with. Having to manage waste, power, guest happiness, employee happiness, and animal happiness is a fun challenge and feels like a big step up from the old zoo tycoon games. I got this a while ago looking for something similar to zoo tycoon, quit for awhile because I got frustrated with the controls, but picked it back up again recently and now that I'm figuring things out (and googling everything I can't figure out on my own) I'm having a lot more fun with it! If you're going to play, I'd recommend looking up guides and videos to watch and/or listen to while you start out!

Its a fun game but its like the sims where buying all of the DLCs makes you go bankrupt.
