Planet Coaster 2016

Is it still worth playing?

Frontier Developments' 2016 construction and management simulation for Windows, in which you build theme park rides and roller coasters, with console versions following in 2020. On the computer you create an avatar and then choose among four modes: sandbox, challenge, career and a scenario editor. Sandbox starts you on an empty plot with every ride unlocked and unlimited funds. It is the mode most players use to make parks and scenery to share through the Steam Workshop. Challenge also begins on an empty lot but with limited funds and research set by the difficulty, and it offers challenges you can accept or decline for rewards such as a rating boost or money. With nothing locked and no budget to watch, sandbox leaves your own plan as the only limit, and that freedom is still the main pull.
