    If you came into this review with the simple question of "is this game a modern-day RollerCoaster Tycoon?" the answer is an absolute yes. I spent most of my time in Parkitect analyzing revenue graphs and tinkering with prices to try and nickel-and-dime each guest out of their hard-earned cash. While I wish the ride creation was much friendlier, managing staff, guests, and park design has never felt better or more complete.

    The community and its involvement, as well as the still active monitoring of the studio, demonstrate that the game has potential in the long term.

    Great, extensive, colorful theme park simulation for roller coaster and park manager - even with snack stand supply system.

    Parkitect makes Luna park simulators proud. It offers exactly what you would expect from the RollerCoaster Tycoon, plus lots of picturesque details and thanks to that no amusement park looks the same. [Issue#292]

    Parkitect, for all its quality, is content to be a fairground attraction: fun and mechanically sound, but not something you’re going to queue up hours for.

    A stylish and smart take on the beloved theme park formula, Parkitect is a winner. [Eurogamer Recommended]

    What I can say is that it is delightful and non-threatening, and playing it has typically left me feeling pleasantly drowsy and contented, the way I might after wandering around a brightly-lit midway, munching a corn dog covered in mustard in a gauzy childhood memory of the carnival.

    The management sim is on the up again, but Parkitect might be my favorite game of the genre’s revival yet.

    Parkitect takes everything that was good about the classic Rollercoaster Tycoon and Theme Park series and improves upon it. Nothing hasParkitect takes everything that was good about the classic Rollercoaster Tycoon and Theme Park series and improves upon it. Nothing has drastically changed here: there's a graphical overhaul and more inventory management (you're responsible for routing inventory to shops).

    The reason Parkitect is such a great is experience is due to how smooth and frustration-free the whole experience is. The UI is greatly improved from the RCT series - nearly everything is intuitive here. Cloning and placing decorations is easy, and while building coasters can still be a little frustrating for the uninitiated, the process is extremely gratifying.

    Parkitect's campaign is a ton of fun, excelling at showing you the ropes while making you develop parks from the ground up with various challenges. In the second level, for example, you are tasked with creating your park on the cramped runways of an airport. You'll have to carefully manage your money and the decisions you make in these campaign missions, but there aren't too many immense challenges here, which may be a letdown to gamers looking for something more grueling.

    Overall, Parkitect is not just the reigning champion of the Theme Park genre (especially as the recent entries of Planet Coaster and Roller Coaster Tycoon World leave much to be desired), it's one of the most addicting management games I've ever played.    … Full Review »

    Very reminiscent of the RCT Series and it holds up to the standard not much else to say about it.
