Planet Coaster 2, what started as a somewhat bugged game, is now fully developed and INCREDIBLE to play. If you liked the first game, this is now a WORTHY sucessor. I HIGHLY recommend this game if you enjoy themepark simulators.

When I first launched Planet Coaster 2, I was excited — not in the way you get excited for a new relationship, but the kind of excited you feel when your favourite takeaway place changes its logo and you wonder if the food still tastes the same. The new path system is... technically better, but also manages to be worse. Like a more advanced robot vacuum that somehow still gets stuck under the same chair. Trying to connect paths feels like a spiritual test. The camera, when you try to help, sometimes panics and flings itself (and you) into the sky like it just saw a ghost. It’s very cinematic, but not very helpful. Building coasters is still the best part — the joyful core of the game. But the prestige system now flickers like a faulty neon sign. One moment, your ride is a masterpiece. Five minutes later, it's a disgrace. Your guests seem confused. Are they boycotting the coaster? Is this a protest? Did I accidentally build an anti-rollercoaster? There are new scenery items. But most of the game feels like someone took Planet Coaster 1, added some pool floats and lifeguards, and called it a sequel. It’s more of an expansion pack in a fake moustache. Speaking of pools — the big new feature — they’re absurdly powerful. One pool, any pool, turns your park into a money-printing machine. Add a water slide and your guests achieve pure bliss. It’s like discovering that all your financial problems can be solved by buying a paddling pool. Terrain editing near water has been downgraded, too. Now you have to remove the water before touching the land. It’s like needing to drink the whole cup before adding more sugar. Why? We had this figured out already. Then there’s staff management, which has somehow become the most tedious part of a theme park game. I tried to embrace it — I really did. But it feels like doing shift rotas for a restaurant where nobody ever gets fired, and business is always booming. You can just hire a small army and let them roam freely. It’s fine. The game doesn’t mind. It doesn’t punish you for it. It doesn’t reward you either. Power and water systems are a similar story: introduced with a shrug, handled with two clicks, and hidden underground so nobody has to think about them again. A feature that feels like it was added just to be turned off. The campaign maps are stunning — so well-made that it feels rude to interfere. You enter a perfect little world the devs clearly poured love into, and then ruin it by placing a pre-built hotdog stand next to a koi pond. And that’s kind of the problem. Planet Coaster 2 feels unsure of what it wants to be. As a creative sandbox, it’s brilliant. Bugs aside, the tools are there to make something beautiful. But if you want a game — with challenges, stakes, or any kind of tension — it’s lacking. The economy is easily broken, the systems are easy to ignore, and the challenge is mostly administrative. Graphically? It looks about 90% the same. The music still bangs though. If you loved Planet Coaster 1, you’ll enjoy this — but only after the first few updates and a decent sale. It’s less a reinvention, more a mildly chaotic family reunion with some new cousins and an inflatable pool.

To say this game had an INCREDIBLY rough launch would be a massive understatement. But to say that it has improved a lot since then would honestly ALSO be a huge understatement. Frontier very easily could have just taken everyone's money and ran by essentially abandoning the game after its rough launch just like what happened with a certain other recent sequel to a popular Building + Management sim... (*cough*CitiesSkylines2*cough*) But they thankfully didn't and they've shown that they really do want to make up for their mistake of simply releasing the game far too early to please shareholders. After 5 major updates and many hotfixes, I can safely say that this game is genuinely as good as Planet Coaster 1 now, better in some ways in fact, as a sequel should be! And it's only getting better because of the free updates Frontier keeps adding every month. In fact, by the time Update 6 drops later this month as of this review's writing, all of the vanilla themes from Planet Coaster 1 that were conspicuously absent on launch will have returned, making this feel even more like a true upgrade over the original! There's just as strong of a possibility that Frontier's continuing support for this game isn't gonna end there either, so I think the future of this title is looking bright.

Gotten much better with the new updates. I dont care for the waterpark aspect but its much better than the first game. Would recommend! But please, stop publishing unfinished games.

With the introduction of Update 4 - I'd finally consider Planet Coaster 2 a clear upgrade over its predecessor and the trajectory of development is positive. Initially I was skeptical, with such little out-of-the-box content on launch day and loads of bugs. The team had their work cut out for them. Almost a year on and I can certainly say they most annoying bugs are fixed, and there are some new, compelling features in this game that make it a worthy upgrade to its predecessor.
