I enjoyed the challenge of this juggling act, even if the animals sometimes exhibit diva-like behavior with their high demands. All of these factors force you to constantly balance the happiness of animals and people against your pocketbook. The animals always need something, and they are clever enough to escape if you don’t repair your barriers often enough. Customers turn into vandals if they aren’t enjoying themselves. Angry protesters run amok if you’re not giving your animals excellent care. It’s a challenging simulation due to all the areas you must excel in, and being lucrative isn’t your only concern. Unfortunately, it spends far too much time on the tedium.įrom the creators of Planet Coaster and billed as a spiritual successor to Zoo Tycoon, Planet Zoo doesn’t hesitate in throwing you to the lions. Planet Zoo captures a lot of that appeal, trying to take its simulation elements in more meaningful and complex directions. Watching your empire grow and seeing the fruits of your decision-making is what drives these experiences, making the overwhelming feeling of pulling so many strings rewarding. Staff from non-AZA accredited institutions must have an individual AZA membership to apply and register for an AZA course.A good simulation game has the power to make micromanagement exciting instead of laborious.
