Really wondering if there is a good enough market left. There have been a lot of good spiritual successors and between planet coaster und parkitect people are eating good
I wasn't aware of Parkitect. Gave Planet Coaster a whirl some years ago, but I don't think the Planet series is for me. I remember dropping it with Planet Zoo when the guests were losing their shit over seeing staff facilities.
It feels like a repeat to me. Starts with pre-rendered cuts to gameplay all the while generic sounding amusement park music plays.
If the game isn’t a buggy mess the name will move a few copies. But without any ability to customize scenery or rides I don’t see it outselling to competing with Planet Coaster or Parkitect
I’m a little sceptical on account of the trash they’ve released in this franchise past… gods, when did RCT3 come out?
That said, I kind of like the visuals. They’ve clearly drawn inspiration from RCT1/2, and while I don’t think it’s quite there yet, it’s charming! It tickles the nostalgia.

OpenRCT2, an open source implementation of the original Rollercoadter Tycoon 2, is also going quite strong with a large fanbase.

And my argument would to be just go play that. Amazing what they have added for it
