It's rare that a game like this comes along. Or should I say, it's rare that an idea like this gets the chance to reach its potential. Parkasaurus plays like the best moments of Zoo Tycoon, Planet Zoo, Planet Coaster, Theme Hospital and JW:E rolled into one and somehow, when it gets it right, manages to be better than all of them put together.

I know this title has been in early access for quite some time and from the 20 or so hours that I've put into it so far I can see it needs to stay there for a little while longer yet; Some of the menu graphics are unpolished and several features are still 'coming soon' but for £18.99 I'm delighted with the quality of the game in its current state.

Yes I must admit I was drawn to the pretty colours and cutesy blocky graphics but under the hood there's actually a hell of a lot of detail that surprised me with its intricacy. Dinosaur privacy meters? What a genius idea. The various stages of exhibit quality which reflect in an animal's happiness. Lighting and decoration actually being relevant to how long a guest will stay in the park and their overall happiness. The two different types of research resources, while seemingly arbitary, are actually very well thought-out and just challenging enough to obtain to encourage you to keep improving exhibits as new items are unlocked and undertaking portal digs to find not only fossils but hearts, cash and SCIENCE! Levelling up park staff to improve their performance and aptitude for their roles, I could go on. Also, the dinosaurs can wear hats.

Anyway, if you're on the fence, get off the fence and buy this game. Steam wouldn't recommend it to you if you weren't going to enjoy it.

Understandably, as someone who has clocked up roughly 8,500 hours playing the FM series thus far from CM00/01 to the current iteration, I'd like to think I know what makes a good Football Manager game and what has historically let the series down. FM20 does the best job of any instalment so far of improving and expanding on the good and dealing with the negatives.

The match engine is fantastic. Players move in a convincing way; stepovers, Cruyff turns, stop-and-go, all represented here in the best match engine to date. Yes the crowd animations are repetitive but you know what, if you want to play FIFA, go and play FIFA.

The IMMENSE scale of the game means you might feel overwhelmed by your responsibilities and the sheer amount of clicking you need to do to establish your latest season but please, friend, worry not! Along with all these new options comes a wealth of new staff responsibilities, and you can delegate or take charge at your leisure, Like to finalise signings but don't really care about the scouting side of things? Delegate it. Prefer to find those hidden gems yourself but couldn't care less about negotiating their contracts? Sure, delegate it. Want to keep an eye on your blossoming U23 side but the U18s are just too far off your radar right now? Guess what? Delegate it.

I haven't been this impressed with the advances in a Football Manager title since FM13, everything you can think of that would improve the series from FM19 is here. Data presentation is fantastic, player development and progression is as close to perfection as it could be. FM20 makes the complicated things seem simple and makes the simple things seem effortless. To me, this is now THE Football Manager title.

Simply put, FM20 is a defining moment in the history of Football Manager titles. Make no mistake, this one is a classic. Though you may not find the next Tonton Zola Mokouko sitting in Derby County's reserves, every story you do write for yourself on this genre-defining game will carry its own memories and legacy and surely that is the highest praise of all.

Ps. Match engine is still sometimes a bit of a joke

Well this game is the best game I've ever played since FM2013. A true life-ruiner in many ways and once you're in you can't get out. I've been playing for 14 years. Not this game but previous incarnations you know what I mean. Anyway buy this game if you like football or are autistic. Don't buy this game if you value any other aspect of human life.
