Planet Coaster ran so Planet Zoo could fly. This game is super in depth and really pays attention to every detail that you would probably manage in a real zoo. This game still retains most of Planet Coaster's clunky building controls, but just like Coaster you will eventually learn them and most likely find them pretty intuitive. This is a must-play game in my own honest opinion, especially if you like simulation games or building pretty structures in games.
I wanted to go into zookeeping, but my general health and mental struggles have stopped me from pursuing it. I can say as someone who has had training in college and Uni, that this is a love letter to zoos and conservation. It really makes my heart happy to play a game like this, providing a modern update to awesome games like zoo tycoon which have had sequels that miss the mark. The devs love animals and love this game, and it shows.
For me this was one of those games that you try day one, play a couple of hours, then don't touch for a few years. Then after a long time on the shelf you try it again and can't put it down.
The gameplay is challenging and can be hard while you are still learning, but once you get the hang of it you really start to love the game. What got me into Planet Zoo was watching content creators on Youtube that inspired me to be more creative in my builds. The DLCs in this game also allows a lot of content that can help to make your dream zoo a reality.

Man it's so much fun building pretty habitats for your cool animals. And it feels rewarding as hell to release some to the wild. It does get fairly unwieldy with fast breeding and/or long-living animals. Damn gharials
good game its so hard though
This is my life now.
Jeu très complet dans lequel on peut vraiment faire de super trucs si on a la patience.
would love for franchise mode shop to be fixed with more animals for cheaper but other than that this RUUUUULES its so much fun
Crashed my computer - quit early on.
Kind of fun, definitely DLC pilled. I've played this for too many hours for what it is
Planet Zoo é um simulador muito bonito, com animais muito bem feitos e uma construção legal, mas o jogo base tem pouquíssimas coisas, e a maioria do conteúdo está atrás de uma enorme muralha de DLC.
Depois de jogar por umas 10 horas (dividido em vários dias) eu já fiquei cansado, esse jogo me faz sentir como se fosse um segundo trabalho de tanto detalhe irritante que tem pra dificultar a vida do jogador, resumindo: MUITO TRAMPO.
Tentei me forçar muito a gostar do jogo mas realmente não deu, porém o jogo não é ruim.
Talvez para quem não trabalha na vida real o jogo seja mais divertido, mas sair de um trampo e ir pra outro (sem ganhar salário) é triste.
Tempo de jogo: 10 horas (de sofrimento)

bought this game after watching a guy build a nice zoo and then found out that it was a skill. look forward to learning it
GOES HARDDDDD the building can be as simple or complex as u want, so much fun building different environments and habitats :D
biggest downside for me is how dead franchise mode is and the amount of dlc :(

This is just Planet Coaster but really fucking stupid
i watch my elephants run in circles
planet zoo is my sims 4
Igual la cosa es que tampoco hay tanta competencia relevante en el ambito de simuladores de zoologico, pero almenos lo importante es que si es bastante entretenido y sobre todo adictivo, como se espera de este tipo de juegas. Me gusta que cada animal sea de cierto modo diferente incluso dentro de la misma especie(incluyendo lo de los animales albinos, aunque está un poquito desbalanceados, luego de que tienes la suerte de que te caiga uno, ya te puedes llenar de albinos muy facilmente). Y que se deba comprar y vender y en general hacer negocios constantemente es muy interesante, y la comunidad de mods es bastante amplia para cuando acabe la chispa.
Zoo Tycoon 2 was my favorite game of all time, so when I heard Planet Zoo by Frontier was coming out, I was beyond excited. This game has taken leaps and bounds in the graphics and technology department, but that also has made it extremely challenging and complex. Not that it is a bad thing, it just didn't have the incredible charm the original franchise did. However, this is one of best sims I have played in a very long time. Well done!
Yup, it's a zoo
This game is hard
Might go back to this to try the Sandbox mode but really struggled going through the early scenarios. I think Zoo Tycoon is about as complex as a management sim can get for me, just so many damn menus just to hire extra staff. Also not a fan of the "animal market" mechanic even if I completely understand why they went that direction.
my girlfriend's favorite. for me, it's nice and fun but after three hours it starts to feel like I'm working. good game tho
the soundtrack is a 10/10 and it stucks in your head forever

Mostly the game I always wished... but ironically, the building options are far too varied and good and I get overwhelmed, and the path system makes me wanna cry.
I think this game is too complex. It might be a good thing for some, specially for the most creative who have a lot of patience. For the people who want it simple I don't recommend this one.
The graphics are good; There are a lot of animals but things aren't that easy to decipher. And the path system sucks! I wish I could make paths as easy as in Zoo Tycoon but I simply can't unless I use some sort of gaming hack

I can own and care for my own orangutans, which i will never be able to do in real life. So because of that its getting 4 stars
went thru a little planet zoo phase and it was fun. the building controls are definitely a learned thing but once you get the hang of it it allows a lot of freedom, its kinda like the sims level control of a zoo game and i fuck with that
This is definitely a game that's not completely "done" for me; I could create more in sandbox mode for HOURS. Plus I'm biased because I grew up on Zoo Tycoon. Those games were chefs kiss.
But I did complete some of the challenges and I completed my first sandbox zoo which was all the African animals. I love the creativity to build unique exhibits and decor across your zoo.
Hats off to the creators because the animals look and sound amazing! Their eyes look so lifelike it's beautiful. I love making the exhibits and just watch the animals. My lion would flick her ears like flies were bothering her. My hippo would swim under water. I built a ride through my Springbok exhibit...and then watched them sleep on the rail tracks to trap the ride.
There were some small annoyances like an animal would escape but it actually wasn't out of its exhibit. It happened every so often and wouldn't stop. I wasn't quite sure what the issue was either. There's an entire mode I haven't touched; there's so much to do and it's constantly being updated by the devs. You can tell love is put in the game.

Similar on how Two Point Hospital took inspiration from Theme Hospital, Planet Zoo is like a modern Zoo Tycoon. However, instead of just being a new version of the original, Planet Zoo feels like its own game, with the main focus being on the animals themselves.
The animals all look amazing, they move and act extremely well, have babies, grow up and (sadly die). They can get ill if you’re not keeping their habitat clean, and keeping them happy is a major important point. While you can just plonk down the requirements of the animal and some basic fences, it’s also possible to create some amazingly elaborate habitats with the building tools in the game – or just download bluepirnts that others have made.
For a management sim, the rain and snow also look very impressive, with attention to detail regarding places that would be sheltered. The campaign mode is also well done, with lots of options for creating your own from scratch, to a sandbox mode with unlimited funds.

Mode bored
Like the old zoo tycoon games, except they want to milk you with 100 $10-$20 DLCs.
