Apr 1, 2024Planet Zoo is the ultimate Simulator game; incredible visuals, sleek menus and design, with a thoughtful story that keeps you engaged the whole time. Authentic animals and locations, coupled with depth that is unrivalled in this genre, Planet Zoo is a beautiful and memorising experience. Great variety in game modes and a truly unique online experience help keep this game refreshing and exciting no matter how much you play. It’s a testament to Frontier that I cannot wait to go back into my zoo and continue to innovate and create my ultimate sanctuary for the animals. A simulator game for the whole Animal Kingdom.

Apr 3, 2024There are quite a few zoo sims out there, ranging from pixel art constructions to Planet Zoo, which is definitely the ultimate game in the genre. For those without the requisite PC, the PS5 port does a generally outstanding job of translating the Planet Zoo experience to console. It’s genuinely educational, engaging, and addictive fun. I wish the new edition was just a bit more generous with content at launch, but there’s plenty there to work with. Animal and sim lovers should rejoice, Planet Zoo has arrived on consoles at last.

Jan 6, 2025As complicated as Planet Zoo: Console Edition may seem, those who are willing to learn its main mechanics will not only be faced with a great simulator, but also a game that uses its concept to introduce important themes about environmental awareness.

Apr 5, 2024I wouldn't describe the console edition as being the definitive version of Planet Zoo, but it's still a solid port of the game that animal lovers have been hungering for for years.

Apr 7, 2024After an incredible run on PC, Planet Zoo is now available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S thanks to its Console Edition. A wider number of players now have the opportunity to enjoy a very rich simulator where complexity, beauty and, above all, love for animals reign.

Apr 5, 2024Planet Zoo: Console Edition offers the same enjoyable park building as its PC forerunner, and though it’s a slightly slower experience, Frontier have done an excellent job translating the detailed park building to controller.

Apr 12, 2024Hampered by control and interface issues, Planet Zoo is a neutered and dishevelled version of the graceful beast it is on PC. It has an abundance of content, a wonderfully educational attitude to conservation and the presentation value is top-notch. If it wasn’t for the crippling issues I faced running my zoos, this would be the definitive virtual safari management title.
