![]() So with this in mind when I first started to play Planet Coaster: Console Edition I was very overwhelmed to the point that I thought I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the game. However as I quickly found out, there is much more to Planet Coaster: Console Edition to that of Jurassic World: Evolution.ĭon’t get me wrong Jurassic World: Evolution is a fantastic game (as reflected in my review), but it’s far more streamlined compared to Planet Coaster, which is probably why Jurassic World: Evolution was able to make such a seamless transition to the Nintendo Switch. Despite having a slight difference in genre, to the untrained eye it would be easy to mistake both games to be of the same genre and in the most part that can be considered the case. Jurassic World is labelled as a “ business simulation” whereas Planet Coaster is known as a “ construction and management simulation”. It’s also worth noting that while this doesn’t carry the Rollercoaster Tycoon name, Planet Coaster is very much considered to be the spiritual successor of the classic theme park simulator. ![]() However it wouldn’t be until 2018 when I experienced a game from the team this time with another simulation game, Jurassic World: Evolution. Nonetheless even though this version of Rollercoaster Tycoon could be considered a very basic version of the game, it was still a lot of fun, despite me running every theme park into bankruptcy.įrontier Developments would venture into a number of games over the years both in and outside of the simulation genre. This was a very different game to what was on the PC, because the OG Xbox was way behind PC capabilities during that time. My first experience with the studio was during their very early years and that was with the very first Rollercoaster Tycoon console port which was released for the original Xbox back in 2003. I’ve only really had a brief experience with Frontier Developments, at least up until recently. Secondly it’s of the construction and management simulation genre and it’s developed by Frontier Developments. So here we are four years after it originally released for PC, but has it been worth the wait? In short, yes and I’ll tell you why.įirst of all what is Planet Coaster? Well firstly there are some subtle changes made to this version of the game for it to be accommodated on console, hence why it’s called Planet Coaster: Console Edition. Though to be fair when this game initially released for PC back in 2016 I think most of us probably thought it would never release on console. Planet Coaster is a game that has been a long time coming on console.
