You will need to constantly repair rides before they go kaput. If you build a shop, you need to hire a vendor. You will need to create entrance lines and connect a ride’s exit to a nearby path as well. If its physics don’t work, or if the ride is way too extreme for feeble human hearts to endure, you will either need to redesign it or delete it. You’ll need some time to get used to these mechanics, as well as some pseudo-bureaucratic steps before you can actually open a ride in your park.įor instance, you will need to test a roller coaster before opening it to the public.
I appreciate the gesture, as this game is actually quite deep and complex, despite the seemingly family-friendly premise of creating fun rides for people to enjoy. Everything is assigned to a button, or a combination of buttons, and explicitly shown onscreen at all times. There is no cursor in this version of Planet Coaster.
They don’t need to care about social distancing in this virtual world.
