Parkitect Reviews

just a really fun park building game

Got this because of "Let's Game it out" Good tycoon game.

Great graphics. I love where everything is almost customizable.

great development, get your trash figured out, apparently decorate but I'm lazy on that, I like to build the rides and it's nice. Gotta hire staff though and I just do sandbox rather than the missions. cartoonish art style.

[h1] Parkitect: The RCT2 Sequel We Actually Deserved [/h1] [h3] Rating: 9/10 [/h3] If RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 was your childhood, Parkitect is the grownup version that still knows how to have fun and finally gives your janitors a break room. It captures the charm and pixel perfect satisfaction of RCT2 with smarter systems, better UI, and just enough modern depth (like logistics and staff management) to make you feel like you’re actually running a functioning business without losing the magic of building a coaster called “Neck Snapper” and watching guests line up for it. From isometric paths to obsessively themed food courts, it’s nostalgia done right. No gimmicks, no bloat just pure, sandbox joy with a side of puke cleanup.

It's fine if you like the genre. Some very grindy achievements. Regretfully I got a bit bored of it in the end. It misses some of the charm of other similar games. I plugged my deck into a mouse and keyboard to play and it worked perfectly though bad lag with big parks. --{Steam Deck performance}-- -Settings adjustments needed- *None- x *Minor- *Moderate- *Extensive- *Total Overhaul- -SD Performance with optimised settings- *Perfect- x *Runs really well - *Runs well- *Rough but playable- *Rough, borderline unplayable- *This game is not suitable for Deck- --{ Graphics }--- *Visual Masterpiece- *Beautiful- *Good- *Unremarkable but fine-X *Noticeably bad- *Hideously ugly- ---{ Gameplay }--- -I forgot to sleep all week- -Very enjoyable- -Fun to play- -Didn't hate it -X -Dull at times- -A tedious experience- -This game sucks to play- ---{ Audio }--- *They should win a Grammy for this- *Very good to listen to- *Good- *Meh-X *Bad and annoying- *Play on mute- ---{ Game Size }--- *Floppy Disk- *Negligible- *Notable but fine - x *Problematic- *Delete everything then install- *Did i download the whole internet- ---{ Difficulty }--- *Just press "X"- *Easy-X *Some challenge in places - *Starting to get tricky- *Difficult- *You will rage quit at how hard this is- ---{ Grind }--- -Zero grinding- -A little grind outside of main story- -A little grind overall- -Average grind level - -A little tedious at times-x -Play with tv on to distract from grind- -This game is a chore- ---{ Story }--- *Worse than Game of Thrones finale- *No Story-X *Some lore- *A beginning middle and end- *A good/fun story- *Would make a good tv show- *Oscar winner- ---{ Game Time }--- *Hour or two tops- *Short- *Average-X *Long- *A epic saga- *It never ends...- ---{ Bugs }--- *I encountered zero bugs- x *Minor bugs, easily swatted- *Some irritating bugs - *Bugs becoming a problem- *Borderline unplayable- *This game is broken- ---{ ? / 10 }--- 1 [Worst game of all time?]- 2 [Dumpster fire]- 3 [A bad game]- 4 [Some good but mostly bad]- 5 [An average experience] -X 6 [Fun at times]- 7 [A good game]- 8 [A great game]- 9 [Game of the Year]- 10 [Genre defining]-

Ever wondered what it would be like, to play that nostalgic tycoon game again? Ever wondered what it might be like if you didn't boot into a half busted window of windows XP gameplay when you do so? Ever wondered what it might be like to have better systems, theme-ing and more engaging personel management? Look no further. Parkitect is the perfect blend of the games of old you know and love, with a refreshing twist and new gameplay to experience. Its not just nostalgia, its a blast.

Having played this for far, far too long at this point, I think I can say that this is a game I would recommend! If you grew up playing the Roller Coaster Tycoon games, this will instantly be familiar and easy to pick up. It really is a spiritual successor to the game, more so than Planet Coaster, because of it's simplicity and aesthetics. Having the workshop available for this game also guarantees you will be able to find countless mods and quality of life improvements for the game.

Probably the best of the RCT type games, especially if you're interested in the park management aspect. The only criticism I have of it is that you can't build rides backwards, which makes it more difficult to plan out brake sections at the end of the coaster.

Great simulation management game, runs natively on Linux.
