Visually, on a now last-gen console, Planet Coaster: Console Edition is nothing particularly impressive. But honestly, while still a bit cumbersome, it’s probably as smooth and natural as it could possibly be. The staggering amount of menus and controls may seem overwhelming at first, and I was not at all convinced the console edition would succeed in streamlining these menus. The Planet Coaster: Console Edition impressively packs all of the intricate design options of the original into a console controller-friendly package. The PC version of Planet Coaster is hailed as a truly worthy successor to the classic Roller Coaster Tycoon games.

Make your way through scenarios, build your dream park, or challenge yourself to build a park from the ground up with limited funds and consequences for your decisions. The amusement park simulator game from Frontier Developments was born on PC back in 2016 and is now available on consoles for the first time. Planet Coaster: Console Edition does its absolute darndest, and nearly succeeds.
