RollerCoaster Tycoon World Review (Jon.Topps)
I'm not one to say that a game is abandoned, or that it shouldn't be allowed to be sold on Steam, but this game definitely fits those descriptions. This game was rushed, left unfinished, riddled with bugs, crashes, and even gamebreaking problems. If you want a game like this, get Planet Coaster, it’s amazing.
There are broken achievements, where the devs literally didn't code in the ability to get them. The achievements are dumb too (click trees to scare away birds), and it's still just not possible to get them. If you're wanting to 100% the Steam achievements here, it's literally impossible.
The game crashes quite often. The devs have done nothing to fix this, because they won’t be paid. Expect the game to break often, and possibly not even let you play it.
The money in this game doesn’t make sense. I have tons of good stuff, very well balanced, successful influencer visits, peeps love my park, good ratings all around, prices are set well, and I lose tons of money constantly. The game isn’t “hard”, because there’s no room for improvement. It just feels unfair and badly balanced. So you won't even enjoy the little bit of gameplay this game has to offer, because it's so broken.
Rides break down immediately sometimes. I’ve had a ride for about 10 seconds, and it broke already. A lot of the game feels like fighting the rides/mechanics situation.
Mechanics will NOT simply go to a broken ride and repair it. Most of the time you will need to force the mechanic to go directly to the broken ride by picking him up and dropping him there. You literally have to micromanage every mechanic. Just this one problem alone, even if you ignore all the other problems, this ends up making the game a horrible experience.
Social media influencers come to your park at times, and if you give them what they want, they will attract more people to the park. However, many times you can have exactly what they want, and still fail, because, once again, this game is a broken mess.
Paths don’t match up, they get janky all over the place, and look terrible. When you place things like lamps they will often float way in the air. Lots of stupid stuff like this.
Overall, every single person should avoid this dumpster fire of a game. The fact that they're charging that much for this game is honestly theft. I feel completely ripped off, but it's been too long to get a refund.
Go play Planet Coaster instead.
