    I doubt that the whiny reviews played it. 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.

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

    Finally I can play this game on console!! 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 atFinally I can play this game on console!!

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.… Expand

Some players want the game to play for them !! its looks and plays great , loads of game options to choose from , for me career is the best as it teaches you how to play the game , and there is a great feeling dragging a flagging park back to greatness. If sandbox is your thing great you can do that too.

    I will buy absolutely every DLC for this game its that good. Go get it    … Expand

    The game is absolutely amazing. You can build any coaster or flat ride you want and the graphics are amazing. The only criticism I have is the limit on how much you can build as it really just annoys me.

    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.
