    Entertaining amusement park manager with extensive roller coaster construction and encouraging upgrade system. Accessibility is more important than realism.
  2. Park Beyond is a fabulous theme park builder with vibrant aesthetics, rock-solid controls and UI, and satisfying mechanics – and thanks to the power of impossification, the game has a much longer staying power and more variety than many other representatives of its genre. The game does exactly what it promises: It lets you build your wildest dreams.

    Park Beyond comes with some intriguing ideas, some technical flaws, and some compromises to make. It's good at entertaining those who want to unleash their creativity by building the theme park they've always dreamed of and newbies to the genre, but those looking for a managerial soul to lose sleep over and their sanity might want deeper and more challenging gameplay.

    Park Beyond delivers a captivating theme park adventure with innovative concepts and stunning visual design. The engaging campaign, featuring pitch meetings and diverse themes, will keep you invested and motivated. The impossification mechanic adds a unique twist, allowing you to create mind-bending roller coasters. However, the game is marred by technical issues, including game-crashing bugs and a lack of support for set pieces and decorations. Despite these shortcomings, Park Beyond’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity is commendable. With updates and improvements, it has the potential to become a standout title in the genre, offering an immersive and imaginative experience.

    Park Beyond is a spectacle to behold with some great ideas, but the glitter and lights don’t quite hide the shaky foundations that desperately need some repairs.

    Park Beyond is not a bad game, far from it, but it will only fully satisfy the curious, those who have never really had the opportunity to immerse themselves in a real management game, or who have neither the desire nor the time to devote to it. In a way, Park Beyond can even be seen as an introduction to the subject. It's a refreshing first step, thanks to its totally surreal coaster concept, but one that will struggle to satisfy aficionados of the genre. But it's not all doom and gloom, far from it, as the title still has plenty to offer, with a highly entertaining campaign that will keep you on the edge of your seat for over a dozen hours, and a sandbox mode. But there's no need to wait any longer or look for what's hidden beneath the surface.

    Despite making an excellent first impression, Park Beyond ends in a downward spiral that's exciting in a coaster, but lethal in an economy.

    A game that bad that I actually created a Metacritic account to warn others from buying it!

    Where do I start, the game in concept sounds

    Where do I start, the game in concept sounds fantastic fun and I was expecting something along the lines of Planet Coaster which is an amazing game. However, THIS IS NOT Planet Coaster. The design and layout is clunky and its even difficult to navigate the various options on screen whilst using a joypad due to the confusing button combinations and multi level menu systems. It sadly doesn't end there though, the audio is constantly glitching out and stuttering whilst playing the game, to the point it begins to feel like nails on a chalk board. It doesn't end there either, The graphics have regular glitches and paths of different design and function will often clash giving a weird blend of colours and visitors not knowing how to navigate the paths. The whole game should not have been released in its current state and honestly I think this is the worst game available in terms of functionality and playability at present. I would genuinely say this game is in a worse state than Cyberpunk was, and we all know how that ended. Avoid this game for a year or so, and hopefully by then it will have been fixed. Either that or you will be able to pick it up for a fiver as its not currently worth anywhere near the £50 I paid for it.
