Critic Reviews for Planet Coaster 2
Planet Coaster 2 may not be the deepest management sim you can buy, but its powerful creation tools and newly added water attractions make a sufficiently satisfying splash.
Planet Coaster 2 may share the same problems as its predecessor, but it's even better at all of the things it was good at, with water attractions alone being reason enough to dive in.
Planet Coaster 2 will take you on a new adventure that combines the charm and joy of the original with its own brand-new highs. While there are a couple of dips along the way, they are short-lived and simply part of the experience that doesn’t diminish the joy.
"If exhaustiveness is the barometer of a worthy management simulator, then Planet Coaster 2 certainly hits the mark."
Planet Coaster 2 successfully builds on the formula laid out by its excellent predecessor. Being able to construct water parks is a delightful addition, and the new career mode is even more engaging. But you'll have to tolerate a few rough edges.
Planet Coaster 2 is a genuinely lovely and likeable way to kill a few hours and flex your creative muscles.
As a deeply crafted and detailed sandbox, Planet Coaster 2 still shines in similar ways to the original, such as the coaster editor that allows you to create any coaster you could ever want. At its core, Planet Coaster will make some ask if enough changes were made to improve the sandbox or if it's just the same Planet Coaster with some new bells and whistles.
Planet Coaster 2 presents a clear evolution over its predecessor, led by the changes in the career mode and the additions in customization, but sometimes it feels that it is weighed down by being too continuist. Even so, it is a clear reference in its genre, and a worthy successor to the first Planet Coaster.
