The game that's come closest to bringing back all those childhood memories of playing Zoo Tycoon 1. A great mix of simplicity and complexity, as its easy to get the hang of it yet it demands you be able to meet the requirements of the fish as well as giving you side missions to complete so its always giving you enough to do. The devs have been supporting this game with quality expansions for years and I've spent nearly 200 hours with it over the years and have gotten every achievement. Just a fantastic tycoon game.

I absolutely love this game. Adorable management game about building your own aquarium. I completed the story mode, all 10 chapters. It can be bit challenging but it wasn't difficult on normal. You can adjust the difficulty settings. There's also a sandbox mode if you rather mess around more creativity than manage money.

Wonderful graphics and detail of color and patterns on each species. There's a small note of information on each animal so I was learning as I played. I grew up on Zoo Tycoon so I'm a huge sucker for animal management games. This was fun, educational, and I wanted nothing more than each animal to be happy. Totally recommend this if you want something chill and relaxing.

I picked this game up when I wanted to scratch that classic tycoon/management sim itch I had and this game did not disappoint in that regard. Megaquarium is one of the easiest to grasp simulation games I have ever played, and although the challenge is fun, especially at the beginning, once you have learned how to take advantage of the games mechanics, the game becomes a breeze, and the only thing that will stop your progression is the long time it takes to prestige.

Despite the lack of difficulty the game is still engaging throughout. There is a significant amount of freedom given to the player which allows you to customize your aquarium in whatever fashion you choose. There are several different tanks and decorations that allow you to design your aquarium with a lot of finesse.

There is a lot of educational value from the game, as it provides a good opportunity to pick up some information about the marine life of some of these animals. Each animal will have its own unique needs, and its a challenge to design interesting exhibits for your guests. However, I would describe the amount of animals as moderate, but what makes up for the absence of various fish is the Steam workshop functionality, that allows you to download community made fish for your aquarium, that adds further replayability thanks to the fish nerds ✊🐟.

The game does a great job at making sure the learning curve isn't too steep, the campaign serves as an excellent tutorial, guiding you with various challenges and mechanics over the course of several lengthy levels. At any time, you can also access the sandbox mode, that's fully customisable and comes with various challenges that add even more layers of replayability.

I definitely recommend checking this game out for more casual enjoyers of the genre, although the community content will add more replayability and difficulty would satisfy avid simulation players.

A game made very much for me. It's a simple enough aquarium sim with a lot of charm. It can get a little hectic at the later stages with managing employees for efficiency, but I find it to be a forgiving game. It has a very low cost of entry and is easy to learn, its perfect for relaxing and decorating. At higher difficulty levels there is a sense of challenge but once you understand the mechanics inside and out it isn't much of a challenge even tho, but I don't consider that personally a drawback because I use this game to relax. Very passionate modding community, adding in new fish and mechanics even now to keep it fresh and customizable to your ideal aquarium.
