Park Beyond Reviews
If classic construction and management games are overwhelming for you, Park Beyond will offer you a lighter experience, but with an interesting level of challenge. However, the Impossification option that gives it an unique touch was not enough to make it a must-play game.

Park Beyond is one of the most satisfying, enjoyable management sims I’ve played in years and is the spiritual successor to Theme Park I’ve waited over twenty years for. On PS5, there’s definitely controller frustrations with the DualSense, as well as weighted cameras, in-game pathing issues and texture breakdowns, so playing on PC is probably the way forward. But issues aside, if you’re looking for a game to play to relax or to really test your skills, this one does it all.
Park Beyond offers a unique and engaging park simulation experience with a focus on creativity and extravagant rides, making it a standout in a market with limited competition. However, it falls short in its economic management aspect, with the challenge of balancing park profitability often leading to frustration, and the controls can feel unnecessarily complex, detracting from the overall enjoyment.
Park Beyond, which wanted to bring a new flavor to the Tycoon genre, failed to use its full potential. It has the capacity to become much better by solving various technical and in-game problems.

A crazy and colorful game of construction and management of amusement parks in which imagination will be our only limit to become the best and most imaginative park designers.

Park Beyond is a disappointing amusement park simulation game. A large number of bugs and complicated controls ruin the gameplay experience.

It can be hard to compare Park Beyond to its obvious inspirations, even if there are many similarities. On its own, this is a park management sim that places emphasis on fun above everything else, even at the cost of a more involved management aspect. The space for creativity and freedom is unmatched, but the lack of depth and unpolished state of things can leave much to be desired.
Even with its twisted takes on nostalgic ride designs and copious whimsical fanfare, I was left feeling deflated by Park Beyond's business-oriented objectives and lack of investment in unbridled player creativity. For a game that endeavors to push the limits of your imagination, it's a little too concerned with whether you’re tall enough to ride.
Park Beyond is a good theme park management simulator, deeper than it seems, but with a differentiating factor (impossible fantasy attractions) that does not convince or compensate for the scarcity of roller coaster models available.

Park Beyond is a decent game for fans of the theme park simulation genre, its gameplay is solid enough, and there are many options to choose from when building the park of our dreams. It lacks originality, though, and there are still quite a few bugs and glitches that can negatively impact players' experience.

There are some technical issues yet to be solved in Park Beyond, but the game does a pretty decent job in giving you the control of your own theme park. Yet, the experience is very limited and can't fully deliver the vibe that creative players legitimately expected.

Park Beyond is a spectacle to behold with some great ideas, but the glitter and lights don't quite hide the shaky foundations that desperately need some repairs.
Park Beyond is nice visually, however it's so buggy at the moment, it can't really be recommended. If it's fixed, it will be a fine alternative to RollerCoaster Tycoon.

Park Beyond takes you into the mind of a manager who must ensure that an amusement park runs smoothly and brings in money. Sounds interesting, but we already know this formula from Planet Coaster. Park Beyond borrows a lot of elements from that game and that makes Park Beyond feel like a cheap clone in a new jacket. Certainly not a bad game, because customizing your roller coaster yourself is a fun option. Don't expect too much from it though, because it's fun for an afternoon and then you're done.

Park Beyond is not a bad game, far from it, but it will fully satisfy only the curious, those who have never really had the opportunity to dive into a real management game, or who have neither the desire nor the time to devote themselves to it.

I can see what they were going for with Park Beyond, and they did get achingly close to it, but right now, and at least in its console variant, it’s not quite a recommended game without a little bug stomping and AI fine tuning. Also an option to switch on total bastard mode, so I can be the truly evil park operator of my dreams wouldn’t go astray, Limbic Entertainment. Just a thought, you understand.
As much as it inspires fun, the larger your theme park ambitions grow, the more Park Beyond throws extreme roadblocks in your way. There is still hope it finds a more wholesome balance in the future, but for now, the quest for the perfect park feels unfairly locked away.
Park Beyond goes beyond just a fresh coat of paint in the genre and sets a new standard for future games with innovative ideas and challenges. It invokes fun and nostalgia reminiscent of Theme Park, which must have been its inspiration.
Park Beyond's premise is an exciting one that's full of promise, but its technical issues, gameplay limitations and core fundamentals hold it back from being a truly polished park tycoon title.
In fact, having not previously played any amusement park simulators, Park Beyond was exactly what I expected. All sorts of actions I performed throughout the game and all the mechanics included were more than expected, but I don't consider that to be entirely a bad thing; It is not necessary to reinvent the wheel when it is in perfect condition. Throughout the time I've spent with the game, my main notes are related to its performance and, given its price of 50 euros on Steam, I had a more polished experience.
