Nov 22, 2024Planet Coaster 2's flexible creation tools are as compulsive as ever, but the fun butts up against an exhausting UI, uninspired management gameplay, and conspicuous content gaps that feel like cynical spaces for DLC.

Nov 11, 2024Planet Coaster 2 introduces some fun new features like pools and water rides but falls short in interface and management mechanics, hampering the gameplay experience. Visually impressive, yet limited content and performance issues leave it feeling unfinished and disappointing for a full-priced game.

Nov 13, 2024I've been playing management games for a long time, and it feels odd that Planet Coaster 2 should make me feel so stupid. The method of building something as simple as a set of restrooms is elaborate and sticky, and requires so much returning to a side menu to resize grids or twiddle the angles that my brain just starts to reject it. Like I say, more patient Planetfans might feel the pain of this troublesome interface less keenly. If that's you and you're willing to risk a face full of chlorinated slider bars, then dive right in. But for new players like me, it's a painful belly flop.
