Immensely enjoyable!
Parkitect does an excellent job at filling the rather big shoes left by the Rollercoaster Tycoon (RCT) series. There is something of a learning curve, but ever since managing to maintain profitable parks, the game has been an absolute blast! At the time of writing this review, I have completed the first five or six levels of the campaign, I have not yet used the sandbox mode. There is a lot to say about Parkitect. On the aesthetics side, the music is appealing, the graphics are pleasing and the characters are downright adorable (even the vandals, who now wear large and cute bandanas). Gameplay-wise, the basic flow should be familiar to anyone who has played RCT. New are (amongst other things) the behind-the-scenes management of shop restocking and waste disposal routes, and the importance of actually decorating your park; both to hide "ugly" things like staff zones and toilets, and to increase general happiness and excitement, causing your guests to stay longer and spend more money. Designing my own rollercoasters is something else I'm gradually getting better at. All of these topics are covered by the in-game tutorial, but actually implementing that theory takes time, experimentation and possibly some research. Something not covered in the tutorial is how to properly manage your finances. Aside from monthly wages and research, you now also have to pay building and ride maintenance, and turning a profit can initially be tough. The forums here and on Steam give good advice. A major insight for me was that the guests are willing to pay more for rides and food than I found reasonable, and that you can easily raise the default price by a buck or two (with some exceptions). Park lay-out and other factors naturally play a role, but are more complicated. Mods (for assets and blueprints) are mostly available on Steam, but can be downloaded and are not available in the campaign anyway. All in all, I am immensely enjoying myself and I heartily recommend you give it a try!
