    A vibrant and saccharine sweet world of possibilities awaits where you can manage every minute detail of your theme park to your liking without being burdened by everyday problems like gravity and public safety. Limbic Entertainment and Bandai Namco presents a world where you can create the theme park of your dreams—or nightmares—via the power of impossification.

    Park Beyond offers us everything we need to become a remarkable amusement park management and creation game.

    Park Beyond is a theme park simulation game from Bandai Namco that offers players a thrilling journey of creativity, strategy, and park management. The Impossification takes your park to the next level, making this a truly Amazing and Fun theme park building experience. The game does have a few bugs to be addressed, however, there’s so much to love here for newcomers and players returning to the genre that they can be easily overlooked once you get hooked.

    The impossification concept gives Park Beyond a unique nature as a theme park genre. The story mode is good, the sandbox mode is better and only a few technical issues harm the last game from Limbic Entertainment.

    Park Beyond oozes character and is dripping with imagination, but the execution is sadly lacking in parts. That said, this fantastical world gives the creative types the tools to run wild.

    If classic construction and management games are overwhelming for you, Park Beyond will offer you a lighter experience, but with an interesting level of challenge. However, the Impossification option that gives it an unique touch was not enough to make it a must-play game

    Rollercoaster management games are few and far between these days but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some great games out there for the category. Luckily Park Beyond is coming out swinging as this is a really fun entry in the management genre. It offers some crazy impossibilities to the theme park rides that make the experience so much fun. Unfortunately the launch hasn’t been the best for me with crashes and technical issues with the AI, however I have the upmost confidence they will be fixed in the near future. You know if this type of game is for you and if it is, Park Beyond isn’t a bad one to take a try on.

    In Park Beyond you can rely on a pinch of theme park magic to make your constructions truly spectacular. But for that, you'll have to bite the bullet. After all, on console, controller control is so clunky that it regularly becomes frustrating. And the many crashes we encountered during our play sessions almost made those controllers fly across the room. So Park Beyond, in this state, is mostly for those with a strong stomach and a lot of patience. Which comes in handy on a roller coaster.

    Park Beyond offers some good ideas for building roller coasters, and the first few hours are rather pleasant to explore. Unfortunately, despite the clever ideas related to the management of visitor categories, the diversity of outlets and the freedom given to creation, the experience quickly runs out of steam. We were also put off by the lack of clarity in the optimisation of park management between profit, fun, amazement, and cleanliness. Then we move on to camera problems and numerous glitches that mar the game experience. Apart from having a new competitor, Planet Coaster is still the master of theme park management games. Park Beyond presents a game lacking in content, with six themes and around fifteen unique attractions, the rest being available as DLC... Nuff said.

    If you're willing to take on a challenge and go through a learning curve in the controls that will make your hair stand on end, Park Beyond isIf you're willing to take on a challenge and go through a learning curve in the controls that will make your hair stand on end, Park Beyond is for you. It will test your patience, make you swear in every language known to human beings and, at the same time, give you moments of gratification and unlock new attractions already seen in the real world. While Planet Coaster offers a smooth experience and Theme Park Tycoon 3 takes you on a nostalgic roller coaster, Park Beyond is like that crazy amusement park, with exciting loops and surprises at every turn in this sea of park simulators. It can be challenging, but it's also extremely rewarding when you finally master the controls and watch your park come hilariously to life. So, don't be intimidated by the learning curve.… Full Review »

    A game that bad that I actually created a Metacritic account to warn others from buying it!

    Where do I start, the game in concept sounds fantastic fun and I was expecting something along the lines of Planet Coaster which is an amazing game. However, THIS IS NOT Planet Coaster. The design and layout is clunky and its even difficult to navigate the various options on screen whilst using a joypad due to the confusing button combinations and multi level menu systems. It sadly doesn't end there though, the audio is constantly glitching out and stuttering whilst playing the game, to the point it begins to feel like nails on a chalk board. It doesn't end there either, The graphics have regular glitches and paths of different design and function will often clash giving a weird blend of colours and visitors not knowing how to navigate the paths. The whole game should not have been released in its current state and honestly I think this is the worst game available in terms of functionality and playability on the console at present. I would genuinely say this game is in a worse state than Cyberpunk was, and we all know how that ended. Avoid this game for a year or so, and hopefully by then it will have been fixed. Either that or you will be able to pick it up for a fiver as its not currently worth anywhere near the £50 I paid for it.    … Full Review »

    Park Beyond gioco Gestionale di parchi divertimenti fatto da Bandai Namco.

    Prima cosa i comandi su console son gestiti molto bene! Gioco    Park Beyond gioco Gestionale di parchi divertimenti fatto da Bandai Namco.

    Prima cosa i comandi su console son gestiti molto bene!

    Gioco molto divertente e stravagante, mi è piaciuto ma mi aspettavo di più un po spoglio di quello che serve a un titolo così ma andiamo in ordine, come livello artistico mi piace molto le giostre sono fatte molto bene le 25 attrazioni si possono modificarne i colori e la musica che quest'ultima l'ho apprezzata parecchio della possibilità di aggiungere le musica alle giostre, poi ci sono 3 montagne russe mi sono piaciute ma mi aspettavo più idee. Quello che è mancato in questo titolo è la mancanza di attrazioni e montagne russe già pronte l'ho trovato un po spoglio come contenuti per il day one avrei preferito più...
    Poi nel gioco si presentano vari bug che rovinano l'esperienza ma per il resto è un ottimo titolo con un grandissimo potenziale se viene aggiornato frequentemente e aggiornato con nuovi contenuti, sopratutto se aggiungeranno le mood che secondo me daranno una nuova vita sl titolo, nel gioco ci sono svariate mappe e mi piaciuto molto perché ogni mappa è unica e ti puoi sbalordire nel creare il luna park dei tuoi sogni, mi è piaciuto anche come si costituisce la montagna russa e molto intuitivo e divertente. Passando alla campagna principale mi è piaciuta molto divertente, leggera e un ottimo metodo per capire il gioco ve l'ha consiglio con i protagonisti stravaganti ti farà scappare sicuramente un sorriso durante la tua campagna.

    In conclusione, Gioco molto divertente, intuitivo con un grande potenziale ma adesso un po spoglio di contenuti.    … Full Review »
