The PC version, of course, has amassed a lot of DLC over time, including a Ghostbusters add-on, Studios Pack, Adventure Pack, Spooky Pack and more.

Just the base game is here, unless you opt for the Deluxe version, which includes the Magnificent Rides and Classic Rides collections. If you’re hoping that Planet Coaster: Console Edition bundles in all existing DLC content, sorry – you’re out of luck. Thankfully, you don’t have to worry about any of the boring stuff, like electricity supply. You’ll need a team of janitors to tidy up after messy guests, mechanics to maintain your rides and vendors to operate your retail outlets. It’s not all about making it pretty and fun for your visitors, though you need to ensure you have enough staff, that your balance sheets are going in the right direction, and that everything is safe and in working order. Even just by placing ready-made blueprints you can create a unique park, placing paths and decorations as you see fit. You don’t have to get so technical though, if you’d rather not. The depth on offer in Planet Coaster is unparalleled by any other theme park simulator. Yes, even a burger shop can be completely designed from the ground-up if you want. Rides and attractions can be placed from blueprints, or you can create practically everything from scratch by placing components. You can keep things as simple or make them as complicated as you like thanks to the range of tools on offer. Doing just about every task with your controller feels natural, and it’s very easy to create the theme park of your dreams. No compromises have been made there’s absolutely no part of the experience that makes you think corners have been cut. Planet Coaster: Console Edition feels like it was made for console. Nothing has been watered down or cut out the experience has simply been redefined for controller-based play.Īnd it must be said that developer Frontier has done a stellar job of doing so. This is the same experience, after all – but it’s been built from the ground-up with a console play in mind. If you’ve played Planet Coaster on PC, where it’s exclusively been for the last four years, then you’ll already have a clue what to expect from Planet Coaster: Console Edition in terms of its core gameplay. From the moment you load up Planet Coaster: Console Edition and you’re treated to its wonderfully happy menu music, you know you’re in for a good time.
