    Literally playable, just buy it because its works on console and they know it. That why there's no ratings on the microsoft store.

    Planet Coaster is a simulation game developed and published by Frontier Developments. In career mode you try to save a half-built park. Career mode might not be the best choice for some players because some players may feel like playing in another players world. But most importantly is that it feels fun to saving a park in trouble. In sandbox mode you can do basically anything you want.Planet Coaster is a simulation game developed and published by Frontier Developments. In career mode you try to save a half-built park. Career mode might not be the best choice for some players because some players may feel like playing in another players world. But most importantly is that it feels fun to saving a park in trouble. In sandbox mode you can do basically anything you want. Funds are unlimited, terrain deformation is on, and you don't need to research to unlock the good ones and almost everything can be customized. Designing a park in sandbox mode with unlimited resource is the best thing about Planet Coaster.Watching your guests enjoy the park gives you a euphoric feeling. Variety of themes and being able to mix them up also makes for a good time. Finding new strategies to keep your guests happy is challenging just as I imagine it would be in a real life scenario. One of the best things about Planet Coaster is the game is deep in mechanics, but overall easy to learn and doesn't over complicate your experience. Visually solid and the career scenarios I also found to be quite fun and enjoyable with the freedom to do just about anything you want. If you enjoy business management simulations you should try Planet Coaster. This is one definitely not to miss out on a great title to enjoy on your new Series X console or your exiting Xbox One.… Expand

    This game is unplayable on my new Xbox series s. You can’t leave a review on this game on the microsoft store. I am very upset as this seems like such a great game however it just keeps crashing every 10 minutes. I hope this is fixed with an update!

    I can’t really fault this game, other than to say it’s so detailed to get the most out of it you would want a mouse. But you don’t have to go that detailed (you could literally recreate anything) there’s lots of prebuilt sceanery and a fun career mode to keep any level of player entertained. If you do get tired of building a park then you can always download ones made by other people andI can’t really fault this game, other than to say it’s so detailed to get the most out of it you would want a mouse.

    Planet Coaster is one of the better games of its genre. The game has a nice and suitable art style, there are plenty of options to set up your park as desired and a simple and a clear user interface design makes it possible to build fast.

    Still, you occasionally run into the limits of the game. For example, there are not many themes available and sometimes the game only provides a couple of options for elements the park can’t miss. Think about the staff buildings or decorations to really make your park your own. The choice in attractions, on the other hand, is very well done. There is enough choice to make lots of different types of coasters.

    Finally, the game offers fun modes. The free mode, career mode or seperate challenges makes it a game for many types of players.    … Expand

    Tried this on gamepass and was really surprised, loved it a lot. It looks like a knockoff of roller coaster tycoon, but it's actually a lot more advanced. There's an overwhelming amount of options, that luckily you don't really have to use.

    I thought that this game was pretty good. I mean, I never played this game on PC, but at least it is better than Roller Coaster Tycoon World. It has aspects of it that really make it stand out compared to RCT, and the roller coaster building is a lot more simple comparing to RCT. However, the controls aren't the best and it can be a bit confusing knowing which buttons to press in the menu.I thought that this game was pretty good.

    I've always enjoyed games that enable you to build things from the ground up, and Planet Coaster is no exception. Frontier's commitment to detail is not lost. You could spend days designing, constructing, and expanding the theme park of your dreams. At a time when visiting actual theme parks isn't the most appealing, this simulation scratches the itch.

    Planet Coaster Console Edition is a great adaptation to consoles in terms of control and performance. On the other hand, it is a very challenging management game, and although it has modes for all types of players, maybe newcomers will enjoy better another Frontier game like Jurassic World Evolution.
