It’s been 17 years since the PC release of RollerCoaster Tycoon , the simulation game that made SimCity look positively humdrum by comparison. If you’ve been looking to relive the thrill of being a theme park manager but with modern bells and whistles, you’re in luck, because Planet Coaster has arrived on Steam.
This open-ended sim puts you in control of your very own amusement park, with a robust suite of tools for creating amazing rides and managing guests with their own individual needs and desires. There is both a campaign with set objectives and a free-form creation mode to suit any mood. It also features Steam Workshop integration that allows players to share their creations with other users all around the world. Planet Coaster was developed by the team behind RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 , and their experience should help the game set a new standard for the sub-genre.
You can pick up Planet Coaster right now for $45 on Steam or through FrontierStore.net. I don’t know about you, but the game’s whimsical launch trailer below has me sold.
