🔒 EXCLUSIVE: Id/arestris/recommended/ - Collection

Still an early review, but let me extend it a bit.

Game is overall at a good start, if you don't expect all Planet Coaster 1 contents + DLC for just 50 bucks (new game in new Engine version means, they can't even just take them over. But I'm sure most things will come back in updates but also paid DLC).

Right now there are many smaller problems and bugs, as to expect from a new game. That said, I agree that this game is maybe published a bit rushed, personal guess, cos the didn't want to move from their usual November release date (all Planet games released on November).

- Pathfinding looks pretty flimsy, guests don't queue properly, guests and staff collection in a blob and things alike
- Maintenance is not always working, something isn't right there also
- Safeguards also fail sometimes.
- The UI is unintuitive and overcomplex. And no, I'm not sure it's cos of console players, cos they are whining as much as we do about it.
- Some graphic glitches, for example on water rides or some ground textures
- I think the ingame notifications are a bit oversensible and also, don't disappear on time

But there already was one Hotfix, more things are announced, including the removal of workshop download limit on PC (4gb now since last patch for now), raise of Guest limit on PC (6000 right now) and they are looking into waterslide physics. All in all I'm positive Frontier will soon have fixed most of the problems.

From a technical view, it runs fine for me, no crash until now and at least in my experiments and smaller parks (up to around 2k guests for now) I hold most of the time over 120fps (RTX 4080) on very high / ultra settings.

All in all it's - like said - fun and I think a good base for what will become of it with more contents and DLC.

Would I recommend? Honestly, if there was a neutral choice, this review would right now be neutral, but there isn't, so I say, recommend, if you don't have unrealistic expactations, it's a new game in a new engine, neither are there all the contents PC1 has right now, nor is it completely free of bugs and problems right now.

Oh, and some are whining, cos there is a day 1 DLC, but honestly, that's the rides from the Deluxe Edition, it was to be expected to be available from day 1. You may not like it, but then you're not liking surly 80% of nowadays A+ titles.
