Park Beyond

Park Beyond is a disappointing amusement park simulation game. A large number of bugs and complicated controls ruin the gameplay experience.

Creating attractions that defy gravity gives Park Beyond a unique twist. This provides just that extra step in this area, setting the game apart from similar titles. In the process, there is also plenty to do and experience, which will keep you going for a long time. Were it not that the game on the PlayStation 5 has too cumbersome controls, is not polished enough and has the necessary bugs, which can get on your nerves a bit. Not a very bad game, but it could have been so much better.

Park Beyond is a good theme park management simulation, deeper than it seems, but with a differentiating factor (impossible fantasy rides) that doesn't makes up for the scarcity of roller coaster and ride models available.

I can see what they were going for with Park Beyond, and they did get achingly close to it, but right now, and at least in its console variant, it’s not quite a recommended game without a little bug stomping and AI fine tuning. Also an option to switch on total bastard mode, so I can be the truly evil park operator of my dreams wouldn’t go astray, Limbic Entertainment. Just a thought, you understand.

It's unfortunate, because this game absolutely has the potential to turn itself around, as its core foundation is sound, but there are few redemption stories in the gaming industry, and not many publishers allow developers the time or resources to attempt such. Park Beyond isn't by any means a terrible game, but even post-launch, it's been left in such a terrible state that most players probably won't have the patience to distinguish the latter from the former.
