It's a really simple game, without much room for customization, lacking some content and rather repetitive, but still, it's enjoyable, especially for beginners in management games.

I've really enjoyed all the challenges and the campaign mode i could understand it getting repetitive for some people but I honestly really enjoy this game somewhat wish there were more animal selection or at least dlcs for other zoo animals like wolves, coyotes, gorillas, cheetahs, penguins, or even an aquarium related tycoon! But regardless i still enjoyed the game.

If you are looking for a Hardcore min-max tycoon game. This is NOT the game for you. BUT my 8y/o daughter absolutely LOVES this game. Its simple enough where she can understand what shes doing but complex enough to offer a challenge. Good graphics and the animals have personalities you can interact and bond with them. For an adult wanting a tycoon game for sure pass on this but if you are looking for a cute game for your kids or you yourself just want a cute time passer. This is a good game.
