Planet Zoo was just released! Do you plan to get the game? If you have purchased it, what are your thoughts so far?
Yes, I just bought it yesterday and played the tutorial in the career mode and a little bit in sandbox... My first thoughts - Wow this is an amazing beautiful game
, but complex and as I love Planco you feel immediatly at home in Planet Zoo also... Definitly the best aspect of the game are the stars themselves - the animals which are absolutely amazing looking and animated. Just to sit there and watch them is worth to own the game already... Being it lions, pandas, hippos, snakes, whatever you like, so many animals are already there... It's fantastic.
I think the tutorial in the career mode is a perfect start to get familiar with the game (similar to the guided gameplay in the Ghostbusters DLC of Planco) and soon after playing a few minutes you recognize, that from a managment level perspective this game is far more complex than Planco. Man, there are so many things which are relevant. Just the sheer amount of menus and details (you can check the status of each animal with so many statistics, etc.) tell you soon, that this game is not only about building nice scenery and entertaining guests, but going really into managment much stronger now... And you have to like animals, as they constantly need your support and caretaking.
If I like that - don't know yet, but the first impression to me was overwhelming. It's a Planco with living animals, very beautiful music and to be honest a fantastic atmosphere, which makes me feel at home...
Will I play only Planet Zoo now... Defenitly no, just after a few hours of playing, I had to go back... back to my park in Planco, back to my rollercoasters... I really like animals, but hey I'm a coaster freak and will always be. I need the speed, the loops, the thrills, but yes I can imagine also sometimes in between to visit the new world of Zoo's in "PlanZoo"...
And what do you think?
A lot of greets, Corkscrewloop
