![]() When the Frontier Workshop does work, it’s very straightforward to download creation and place them in your park (depending on whether the user has tagged them correctly). In the end, re-loading the game worked, and I didn’t lose much.Īnother bug is hidden within the Frontier Workshop, a wonderful online tool that allows players to upload their creations for others to download and enjoy, but the game completely crashed for me several times while trying to search for keywords. I had to spend quite a bit of time working out why my staff and park guests were stopping in the middle of the paths I tried deleting and rebuilding the paths only to find that the bug expanded to other areas of the park. I encountered two nuisance bugs, the first of which involved paths (a glitch I have since learned has been present on the original PC version of the game). There aren’t that many setbacks in this console edition, and many of the PC elements have been carried over, and unfortunately, that includes a bug or two. ![]() If you’ve been following Planet Coaster, you’ll notice that the console edition is missing a good few DLCs including the Studios Pack and the Ghostbusters pack, but Frontier has confirmed that the DLCs are coming to consoles. It’s extremely time-consuming, but once I was done, I felt proud that I actually managed to do it, and I felt even better when it became one of the most popular rides in the park. Even though I wasn’t very good at creating the building to house it in, once I had built it I had so much fun filling in all of the gaps around the track and then working out where the queue should go, sectioning off the rooms. I had a far greater time building custom track rides that weren’t rollercoasters, such as the tracker system (a ride specifically created for those who love to create dark rides). The tracker ride as seen in the Planet Coaster – Magnificent Rides Collection teaser. You can insert one of the many pre-built coasters or build your own, and building your own is incredibly easy and insanely fun - don’t get too carried away though because you will have to deal with the consequences of G-forces, fear, and excitement levels being too high and sometimes too low. One of the bigger things players are going to be excited about is, of course, the rollercoasters. You can find everything from bins to animatronics to match your theme. The filtering system is easy to use, and it makes it much easier to find rides and scenery to match the theme of your park or specific land. What I did love was creating themed lands. While many players online have fun building their stage buildings to house their attractions, I found it extremely cumbersome and wished that there was an option to install a pre-build building I could use instead of creating one from scratch.Īlthough, that’s just me because as I mentioned previously, many people online have a great deal of fun building their back-of-house buildings, and hiding this with intricately themed-scenery (see the image above as an example). My park was decent enough, but my biggest issue was building dark rides (rides that take place mostly or completely indoors) as they require constructing a building in which to house the rides. Two examples from the PC version of the game of a stage building with scenery items used to hide it from the guest’s view. Once I had gotten the hang of things, I was able to create a decent enough theme park called “Adventure Islands” with a medieval-fantasy land, a tropical-pirate paradise, and an out-of-this-world sci-fi land. ![]() It does hit you all at once, but the career mode tutorials have been revamped specifically for the console edition, and they guide you through the controls with great ease. The online-exclusive deluxe edition may set you back almost £50, but it comes with the downloadable content Magnificient Rides Collection, Classic Rides Collection, and the Deluxe Rides Collection.Īt first, the game is extremely daunting with many tools, attractions, shops, scenery pieces, buildings, challenges, and that doesn’t even include the business aspects of the game with its budgeting, ride reliability, staff management, and research unit. ![]() However, I’ve been keenly watching PC gamers enjoy the spectacular looking Planet Coaster, a theme park business sim not too dissimilar from the RCT franchise.įrontier Games were kind enough to send us a copy of the new Planet Coaster: Console Edition (Deluxe Edition) for the PlayStation 5. When I was younger, I spent a lot of hours on RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 & 2, and I recently invested in the third installment on the Nintendo Switch.
