Bought the game as a way to pass time during my night shifts (currently writing this at a crisp 4am on the job). Does a really good job, no big storyline, nothing super complex, just making a zoo and trying to appease (or annoy) the public visiting. Easy to put down when you need to go do something, but equally a nice level of addicting where you've always got something else to reach for, so you never get bored. Keeps me company for my ten hours at work, that's for sure. Edit: Only downside I have with it is that despite being pixelated (so my monkey-brain assumes 'less effort to run'), at times it can run kind of wonky/slow on my laptop. Not sure if that's because I have a crappy laptop or if it's just an issue with the game, so I can't fault it entirely. It fixes itself when I get rid of excess animals in my zoo, or restart the game, so take that as you will. Doesn't stop me playing it though
This game is very fun. It completely hooked me and made me want to build up my zoo for a couple weeks. (+) morality system, which lets you make a good or evil zoo (+) fun, grid based gameplay that lets you make efficient use of space (+) incredibly fun progression system and skill tree (+) the game choses depth over simplicity and simplicity of depth in the right areas (+) beautiful graphics that lets you really make your zoo look good (-) sound is a big weakness of this game. The music seems unfitting and gets annoying after a while. And the animals make incredibly obnoxious that usually sound like they are mocking you in some way (-) the game expects you to co-habit different animals in the same enclosure. I really really didnt want to do this so I never did. It doesn't have any kind of morality penalty for doing so either which shows a little bit of ignorance from the developer about how zoos work (-) the game really pushes you to splice two animals together to make hybrid abominations. Not only does the game force you into a quest where you have to build the cloning lab, it also constantly forces you to splice animals if you aren't cloning them. Also no morality penalty for this which is really disturbing. (-) way too many animals per enclosure, and they constantly breed way too fast. You will be releasing rabbits daily (-) The game makes it very hard to figure out how big an enclosure you just made, and impossible to tell how much space animals you are trading for take up. This makes it very common to build enclosure that is the wrong size
Great game that I'm obsessed with but unfortunately it doesn't look like the developers are really adding that many quality of life updates. I looked up several concerns I had about the lack of quality of life in certain areas, only to find that people had raised concerns about these things over 3 years ago. Still, I would recommend it as I feel like it is far more approachable and well put together than many other management games. Just don't expect significant improvement to quality of life issues unless the devs decide to return to this game after their next one releases.
