Theme Park Architect

Most assets are bought, Next to that half of the game is in a broken state at the moment; 1. Performance is terrible 2. Physics don't work properly at all 3. Building doesn't feel good at all 4. 99% of the code feels made by ChatGPT Look I understand that the game is a "beta/pre-release" phase but in the current state the game is clunky and basically unplayable To finish my review off, The owner of this game is toxic towards other games (planco in specific) and i don't support this behaviour Thanks for reading Update: I've tried this game again, and the game got even worse. I cant edit coasters, the selection tool is terrible

There are only a few coasters to choose from. You have a B&M Hyper, an Intamin LSM launch, a Mack chain lift, a Mack Launch, a Mack Stryker, and a Mack powered coater. That's it. No wooden coasters, no hybrid coasters, no inverted coasters, no suspended coasters, no spinning coasters, etc. For a coaster sim, you're missing the COASTERS! NoLimits 2 has over 40 coasters styles, Planet Coaster 2 has over 60, Theme Park Tycoon 2 has over 30, etc. The detail on these coasters is very poor. The textures, materials, and models aren't very good. The ride stations just have giant tires sticking out of the track and the ride track and supports don't look great. I understand that it's still in development, but it's been in development for a while and has been sold on Steam since 2024. For $20, I can get many other coaster games that are more fun and higher quality. The main benefit from this game is the lighting/graphics from Unreal Engine 5, which looks nice at times, but I also found it to be buggy and not worth the headache of trying to use the coaster builder/ui in this game.

Has massive Potential a bit of a learning curve but really great tools to build a high quality park. 2026 Update that dropped improved a massive lot with extra objects and themed objects great stuff can't wait to see what else comes specially flat rides, shops and guests also with this being a solo developer what's accomplished is already pretty solid.

Great game! It doesn't compare to the likes of planet coaster whilst it is in the alpha build, but the graphics are stunning and it's still a good game even in the alpha build

I'm writing this review after a very short playing time, so I can't say much yet. However, I will definitely change this review. The game is in alpha, so there's not too much to do. There are some scenery objects, especially the tech and props areas have some very cool objects. For a normal price of €14.99 I probably wouldn't have bought the game yet. But in the sale for €7.49 it's very good value. Also because the plans for the future look unbelievably cool, even the 14 euros are still more or less okay. Let's get to the gameplay (as of 07.07.24) The user interface in the menu is very nicely and attractively designed. The settings are clear and the creation of worlds is very simple. The tutorial is nicely done, but I would have liked a little more interaction and, above all, more detailed explanations. Let's move on to the actual gameplay. You have to familiarise yourself a little with the building and scenery creation, but then it goes pretty smoothly. The rollercoaster designer is incredibly complex and very difficult to learn. I reckon you need a lot of knowledge and time to familiarise yourself with it. Since I have at least the former, I have at least managed a little. I guess that's where you should work on it again. The graphics are nice and the background noise is appropriate. I definitely recommend the game!

Park Studio... well... This may be the best theme park sandbox game I've ever played. Even if it's only in Alpha state, this game has next-level graphics; everything you do looks good. It has a lot of potential, in my opinion, and a lot of stuff is going to be added, such as special track elements, audio, custom media, and much, MUCH more!

It had good potential, dev decided to abandon the project after planet coaster 2 release. Blaming another game and even calling it an incomplete, unpolished game with predatory business strategies that are somehow normalized and generally accepted by players. Don't get me wrong, I get that it's hard to compete with a bigger company but after a setback just abandoning the game, I as a buyer of the game feel a little betrayed. Now I have an unplayable game with no option to get a refund.
