A very fun game overall. It is actually my most played game on Steam as of right now. I'm a kid and wanna be zoologist when I grow up. This has made me realize that even more! Thanks Frontier!

This is one of, if not, the best zoo game out there. i've noticed multiple complaints in the reviews that are not the games fault/user error. here's solutions for the ones ive seen most. 1. "No Path to Destination" when attempting to deliver an animal. this is an insanely easy fix, make sure all of your habitats are included in a workzone, which can be created via Zoo>Staff>Workzones. 2. A lot of negative reviews say it is overpriced. just wait for a deal, they happen quite often. 3. Reptiles and birds not laying eggs makes gameplay more simple, with less things to worry about. i personally like this feature. 4. Complaining about unhappy animals and it being to much work makes no sense, sandbox mode allows you to disable animal death, sickness, birth, aging, stress Etc. 5. DLC being not worth it is in the eye of the beholder, and not something to hate the game because of. if you don't find the DLC worth it, don't buy it. it's that simple.

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)
