to be fair, this is a pretty ok building game, BUT, its not really worth the original price tag since it's very simple. I got it on discount just to try, its decent to kill some time and just chill. needs some quality of life changes tho, in building, editing. I do like the morality side of the game. You can choose to be a evil money grabber, or a good honest entrepreneur. Interesting aspect.

I LOVE THIS GAME!!! it's a really good mix between a good ol' simulation / business management game, but also has morality points and different upgrades based on routes you choose, plus it's a collectors dream since you can splice animals, mixing and matching to catch 'em all kind of thing. the only little irk i have is that some of the mechanics of the game are not fully explained, with a lack of tutorials or information. usually wouldn't be an issue because surely you can look up your questions online or on the wiki right? WRONG. there are barely any informational pages about the mechanics in this game - i actually had no idea how much i relied on online forums and stuff until it wasn't available omg. 70+ hrs and i still don't understand how the vending machines or farming stuff works, or what the symbols above the customers mean, or why the lines to my stores are out the door. the bright side is im still thriving i guess even without the knowledge? but i'd still like to know :( either way, still a really cute and good game. hopefully the more people that play, the more populated the wiki and stuff will become (please fellas) edit: I have one other little thing to mention which I wasn't originally cuz I thought I was just bad at the game but after reading others reviews it looks like I'm not alone - the bigger your zoo gets, the more you unlock and the more you progress, the game actually gets harder in the sense that there is WAY more micromanaging to do but not enough upgrades to actually help with them. I end up spending my entire day just on the breeding/splicers and that leaves me to forget to check the adoption thingy, if a streamer comes in, a health inspector, etc. it just becomes too much to do :( again though, very very cute and enjoyable game, I certainly had a blast with my 80ish+ hours, but something to keep in mind for a future game i suppose!

A very nice game, but unfortunately some achievements can only be achieved by buying the DLC's. Despite, very great game!
