June 2025

my friend sterling got this game for free but, i have some words for this. At first, I hated this game. The peeps were ugly, the UI gave me migraines, and my coaster looked like a worm having a seizure. I launched the game thinking I’d build a cute little park and uninstall after an hour. Instead, I spent 6 hours trying to get a path to connect to a toilet. A TOILET. Then I blinked and it was 4AM. My guests were puking and dehydrated, my janitors were unionizing, and I was 20k in debt because I made a haunted house that literally no one wanted to ride. I told myself I’d stop. But then I discovered custom signs. Then triggered events. Then triggered sound effects. Then custom coaster blueprints and steam mods and now I’m spending 4 real-world hours perfecting a horror-themed food court that 7 fake people will walk past without even looking at. My friends play War Thunder. I play God, screaming at pathfinding AI and sacrificing frame rate for vibes. I MADE SWIFTIE LAND FOR CRYING OUT LOUD I don't play this game. I live in it. I rot in it. I dream in queue line grids. I speak in pathing errors. I crave that “100% scenery rating” hit like a junkie in a back alley. My brain is a sandbox map with no auto-save. My loved ones haven’t heard from me since I discovered animatronic skeletons. In short: I hate this game. I hate it so much. 5 stars. 10/10. Send help.

Tortured 1000+ people for 10 in-game days straight, built a death-defying rollercoaster, evaded taxes, got in jail, escaped. And then got home and played Planet Coaster 10/10 would evade taxes again

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.

Dec. 2024

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.
