Planet Coaster for PC Reviews - Metacritic

OpenCritic - The top critics in gaming. All in one place.

Man am I excited for this game. I'm feeling so much nostalgia for RCT3 and this just seems like a quantum leap beyond that.

Only downside apparently is that Planet Coaster is skimpy on ride types and scenery quantity. Has about half the flat rides RCT3 had at launch.

I'm expecting mid to low 80s.


EDT: It has been 12 years since RCT3 released. Wow

Wow this is a well made coaster.

Yeah this looks great.  Will likely get it when it's super cheap though.  Plus to make a super awesome park would take up too much of my time.

Game is only $45 so it's already cheap!

True, but I've got enough to play for now.

Yeah this game will be a huge time sink.

I put thousands of hours into RCT3 and the level of detail wasn't even close to what planet coaster has.



The nostalgia for roller coaster tycoon is hitting me hard. These were by far my favorite games as a kid.

9/10 Planet Coaster PC Review | GameWatcher

[Legend]

The 7/10 PC gamer review has been switched to review in progress.

"We originally published the following criticism as a complete review, with a score of 70%. We are retracting that score and now consider this our 'review-in-progress.' The code we were supplied by Frontier Developments was intended to be used to start the review process, but was not final. We mistakenly overlooked this information in the email that accompanied the code. This is entirely our error. We now have a version of Planet Coaster which includes the additional scenarios, rides, and fixes that are available at launch. Once we have spent more time with this version of the game, we'll revise the review text and assign a new score. Apologies for the confusion."

Wow this is getting great reviews.

Hopefully more reviews keep coming in and they stay high.

It's not like a look at a lot of steam games, but I don't think I've ever seen one with that high of a rating.

[the-pi-guy]

Very high.  

But not in the top 100.
