First of all, I apologize if there are any topics that have the same subject but I didn't find any. If there are, please feel free to delete it.

At the moment there are 3 big names who try to be the spiritual successor to our beloved serie, Rollercoaster Tycoon.

So my question is : Which one do you think you will buy ? Rollercoaster Tycoon World ? Planet Coaster ? Or Parkitect

For me well...First I won't buy RTW. And if you've been following what's happening regarding this game, I think it's safe to assume why not many people will buy it.

So that leaves Planet Coaster and Parkitect.

While Planet Coaster gives you absolute freedom to what you would like to do, from what I've read and seen in reviews (like Worthabuy or Lazy Game Review on Youtube), there doesn't appear to be any form of difficulty or challenge. It is apparently very easy to earn customer satisfaction and money. Also building rides appear to be clunky and not intuitive.

Parkitect on the other hand appears to be more traditional, and in my opinion, more fun than Planet Coaster...it feels like a real successor to Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 with new intersting mechanics. Unlike Planet Coaster, the game looks like it will be more challenging. Also it's cheaper, 18$ against 38$
I strongly recommend to check the website and the trailers, which for me are the best and funniest trailers I've seen in a long time.

So I think I will buy Parkitect. What about you ?

I agree. Planet Coaster is a great sandbox game - not a tycoon game, and it's not marketed as one either. I bought it and Parkitect, but funnily enough, they've both made me want to replay RCT2.
I've only bought Parkitect and I'm really glad that I decided not to buy Planet Coaster because they added Denuvo (I don't want to start a discussion if it is or is not evil – I will never support something that is based on that horrible Sony audio CD rootkit).

I have high hopes for Parkitect. I've only played a little bit to get a feel of the game mechanics, because I prefer to wait for the complete game.
