    Planet Coaster Console Edition is as comfortable in consoles as it was in PC. Everything remains intact, including the extensive management options and almost endless creative possibilities with roller coasters and buildings. It takes time and patience to get used to it, but if you like theme parks the effort will be worth it.

    The console edition of Planet Coaster is a great port from PC that works perfectly with console controllers, and if you are a fan of simulation games and patient enough to learn all the mechanisms of the game, you will definitely enjoy it.

    Planet Coaster is uplifting and allows you to let your imagination run wild. It’s full of charm, wit and is the perfect escapism that fits your every need. [Issue#183, p.94]

    That aside, Planet Coaster is indeed the best theme park creator we've ever had. In Australia, there aren't many theme parks left at all (can you believe that Sydney - a major global city - only has one theme park, and it's a tiny space that can be walked across in a few minutes), but there was a big one when I was growing up, and this game takes me back to looking forward to going to that theme park every so often. There are some UI issues, and one or two clunky moments within the management side of the game, but nothing that detracts from the sheer creative joy of playing around with those coasters and creating the park of your dreams. I can almost smell the churros.

    Planet Coaster: Console Edition is a good port to consoles. It lacks some of the PC content and it has some technical problems, but it is still a very good experience.

    Planet Coaster: Console Edition is the PlayStation 4 port of the famous management software; a great experience.

    Planet Coaster rides the line between warm and friendly accessibility and in-depth theme park management surprisingly well, even if it does occasionally wobble nervously with the switch to console controls. It’s a largely serene experience with an utterly engrossing roller coaster creation tool that just makes the overall package that much better.

    Planet Coaster Console Edition is a game that almost entirely maintains the content of its previous installment for PC. Leaving us not so good feelings in terms of innovation, but without a doubt it is a title that is at the height of its previous version.

Of course there will be menus , there are thousand of things to choose from. The optimization is fantastic if you actually learn how to navigate it. If you cant handle that, go play something else.

    Game looks great and plays great. And with the workshop growing each month, it will be even better.

    Plus for the fantastic tutorials they added, making it even easier compared to the PC version.

    Now Im gonna go back to getting rollercoaster approved, its hard , I keep making them too extreme :)    … Full Review »

The game runs smooth on PS4 even though the console has obvious hardware limits (due the advanced technology of the new consoles and PC Gamers). My first impression, when I got the game, was not good, because there was a lot of menus and tabs that kept me confused. But as soon as I got to know how to use all the tools I couldn't stop playing at all. To those who keep complaining about the game, give the game a chance. Okay, it has a building limit, but it also forces you to make more creative decisions.… Full Review »
