Planet Coaster 2 is the second installment in a series of economic strategies launched in 2016, which allows us to test our skills as an amusement park manager. The game was developed by the authors of the original, i.e. the Frontier Developments studio, whose portfolio includes genre-related titles from the Jurassic World Evolution series.
The gameplay in Planet Coaster 2 is based on the pillars established by the previous title in this series. Our primary task is to create an amusement park from scratch and ensure that it generates the highest possible income.
This time the attractions we can offer to guests visiting our amusement park include water-related facilities, such as winding slides, heart-pounding water roller coasters and wave pools. Of course, this is not the end, as the game brings back the options to design our own roller coasters, deciding on how twisting and complex they should be. There are also calmer attractions at our disposal, like carousels or ferris wheels.
The game also allows us to choose from a variety of themes for our amusement park. In addition to creating a standard park, there is a mythological theme, a sunny theme (making our amusement park resemble a tropical resort), an underwater theme, and finally a Scandinavian theme (which makes our amusement park reminiscent of a Viking settlement).
Similar to the first part of the series, we can freely shape the terrain, adjusting its topography to individual needs and preferences, mark out paths that visitors will follow, as well as erect various objects and decide on their appearance. Although attractions should be our main focus, elements of infrastructure (such as ticket offices) also play an equally important role, as well as issues related to the health, comfort and safety of guests. Due to these latter, we must about creating shaded places or even about employing a sufficient number of lifeguards and mechanics among the workers we hire.
If we do all this well, guests will be satisfied with their visit to our amusement park and will not only be happy to come back, but will also attract other people to visit. We can find out whether they like our vision of the park at any time by reading their opinions. Of course, it's worth taking care of having their reviews the best possible, as they translate into an increasing number of zeros in our .
Planet Coaster 2 allows to play alone or in multiplayer over the Internet. The game offers a cross-play feature and allows us to build amusement parks together with other players. It is also possible to share our amusement parks with others (as well as checking their projects), try our hand at a special franchise mode and fight for the highest place in the online rankings, or to become one of the guests and explore parks created by other managers in FPP view.

TheGamer: 4 / 5 by Helen Ashcroft
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.
GamingTrend: 90 / 100 by Ron Burke
Even with a handful of last minute bugs to iron out, Planet Coaster 2 lets me build the park of my dreams. More than a water park expansion, it takes everything the first game did well and makes it better. Don't wait, get your ticket now – heck, this one is even worthy of a fast .
Tom's Guide: 4 / 5 by Rory Mellon
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.
