  An absolutely horrendous excuse of a game to even bare the "Tycoon" name. So disappointed and ripped off that i bought into this in early access. I think it was upwards of $50 Canadian. Should have tried to get a refund years ago. It seems like the developers have abandoned this game a few years ago also. So, unless this game gets a complete overhaul. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME!! Buy "Parkitect" instead. It's A much better game that gives you that incredible nostalgic feeling of playing RCT 1, 2, & 3.

  While Planet coaster is vastly superior in terms of graphics, object placement, freeform coaster building, ride and peep animations, terrain, bugs/crashes, and a charming atmosphere even at its alpha stage, we still have to wait until the end of the year for a game with any sense of challenge or park management. In the meantime we have to hope that RCTW improves to satisfy our park management cravings while we wait. These pros and cons are against other major FINISHED park management games like RCT 1, 2 and 3. PROS (THINGS THAT ARE BETTER THAN THEY WERE 12 YEARS AGO): -There are curved paths. -You can build a truly freeform coaster if you have the patience of a saint. -The water dynamics are so impressive that I assume that they were already part of the Unity Engine and not the RCTW developers. -There is a car park at the entrance. I like this CONS (THINGS THAT ARE WORSE THAN THEY WERE 12 YEARS AGO): GRAPHICS AND UI -If there were no curved paths in this game, it would almost be GRAPHICALLY IDENTICAL to RCT3 (2004!) - I get memory leaks where the game eats up to 26GB of my RAM. I am guessing not all players have 32GB ram to deal with this issue! -The interface looks VERY bland. I am not asking for candy crush but I’ve seen accounting software that looks more exciting than this. PERFORMANCE ISSUES -My FPS is actually fine for the first 1000 peeps on max graphics. As soon as I get over 1500 peeps (easily achievable with 2 of the 9 park tiles), my game becomes unusable. The game freezes for 5 seconds every 30 seconds, crashes around every 15 minutes, and takes over 2 minutes to save the game (no joke). (I have i7 3930K, GTX 970, 32GB RAM, SSD) -Once my park starts to be a decent size (3 tiles or 2000 peeps) the game can no longer save or open it without freezing. -I have not heard anyone with over 2000 peeps in their park claim that it is running smoothly. How can I be motivated to spend time building something that I can no longer use once it starts to get interesting? PATHS -Building paths can be a pain when connecting to other paths or building up or near hills. -Changing the path material means destroying anything connected to those paths (LIKE SHOPS) as the game will not allow you to place the path directly next to them again. To fix: Add a material paint brush tool in the path menu and avoid the issue altogether. -The game is SO PICKY when it comes to snapping benches, bins and shops to paths. They won't snap to positions that look perfectly acceptable and by default they seem to want to snap off the path onto the grass. To fix: Allow intersecting geometry and free placement of path scenery and allow shops to be freely placed much closer to the paths. Let your users judge what is intersecting and what looks good for them. PEEPS & STAFF -The peeps animations are very wooden and they don't walk as families or groups like they did 12 years ago. -Peeps sometimes stop walking in queue lines and hold up the entire queue for a few minutes. -From birds-eye level the peeps stutter around the park at 2fps -Sometimes all the peeps in the park disappear all at once and gradually start spilling in through the entrance. -Staff are often seen sliding around the park without moving their legs like ghosts. -Staff are often seen walking adjacent to the paths, phasing through all the scenery like ghosts. -Mechanics are often seen congregating at ride exits, phasing through each other like ghosts. I am pretty sure the staff are ghosts. RIDES -THERE ARE NO LOG FLUMES -THERE ARE NO TRANSPORT RIDES, how hard can it be? -While you can build rollercoasters piece-by-piece like you could in RCT3, parts like helix sections, loops and barrel rolls are missing. -Coasters built or edited with freeform tools lead to a very un-smooth ride when finished. Something as simple as a descending helix can be a nightmare to build smoothly. -Adding a lift-chain is way harder than it needs to be. -It is not yet possible to change the colours of shops and non-coaster rides. -The pre-built coaster stations are much larger and more realistic than RCT3 but you cannot choose where to put the entrance and exits. -Tweaking an existing coaster can be dangerous. Clicking on a section of track to make a banked curve sometimes causes the camera to move which causes that piece of track to move way out of place. You then have to spend ages putting it back into place to avoid an unwelcome s-bend in your coaster. To fix: GIVE US AN UNDO OPTION! Alternatively, allow us to lock certain axis’ when needed. -Deleting parts of a coaster can be very tiresome after it has been built. -Building pre-built coasters from the menu is an absolute nightmare in any park that is not perfectly flat and barren. To fix: Give us an option to snap lowest part to terrain height and automatically bulldoze any scenery that would get in the way. At the very least allow us to see the ride supports during placement so we can see how ridiculously high off the ground the base of the coaster is going to be. -Pre-built coasters do not display any excitement/nausea stats. -All my coasters have ridiculously high nausea ratings while I think it looks quite safe. To fix: allow us to see that nausea heatmap on our ride while we are building it if we want. At the very least, give the guests time to visit a toilet at the ride exit before puking everywhere. There are never any staff nearby to mop it all up. TERRAIN -Adjusting terrain under rides or roller-coaster supports is totally forbidden -There are very few terrain materials available. This is like an hour’s job for a texture artist. -There are no waterfalls like there were 12 years ago -You cannot build tunnels like you could 12 years ago SCENERY -No building blocks/wall sections like in RCT2&3. I don’t want to have to trust an amateur Maya modeller for well-optimised and decent looking models without ridiculous stats from the steam workshop every time I want to build architecture. I want to design things myself. Look at what planet coaster lets you do! -Selecting scenery items freezes the game for up to 5 seconds each, and occasionally CRASHES THE GAME ENTIRELY To fix: if you don’t have budget to optimise your game any further, at least allow autosave. If you can bear these problems for a few hours, zoom out and look at your park from above with all of its curvy paths and freeform coasters it can actually look quite realistic. The fully working park management aspect is a fun challenge and is just as addictive as the original games. Since no other title can claim both of these points at the same time yet, yes I would recommend this game to keep you busy until Planet Coaster comes out at the end of the year, after which, you will probably never touch this game again. However, as I am unable to open saved parks (loading screen crash) and experience memory leaks after they start to get big I cannot yet recommend this game.

  I REALLY, REALLY wanted to give this game a good review. But, I can't. Even after reading all of the negative reviews, I still couldn't believe that RCT would be a bad buy. However, it was. The graphics are pretty good. There is room for some improvement, but over all, good graphics. This is where positive remarks come to an end. You can't build buildings. You can't make your own pavillions or themes. I miss that. The path system is pretty clunky. You sometimes can't connect to specific places. No tunnels. Want your roller coaster to go through a mountain? You can't. It just feels like this game is trying to be to slick. With that, it fails.

  Here we go; Bad Simulation Bad Framerate Bad Graphics Bad Communication from the Developer Poor future plan Poor bug fixes Poor coding Poor attempt at pleasing everyone Poor attempt at keeping what an RCT game even is Poor Game life it's had due to having 3 seperate developers. Overall i wouldnt recommend this to anyone. If this changes in the future than fair enough but as it stands now its is not a full product. Releasing this product as a full game is ridiculous and i wouldnt be surprised if Trading Standards in the UK fined the publisher and/or Steam removes it from its services. The game did not live up to anything originally promised along with the fact that it has had basically no optimization done too it throughout the entire time of it being in Alpha. Not only that but releasing this a day before its competitors when its no where near feeling like a full game just goes to show how much of a waste, scam and poor attempt at trying to make your own market with an already estabilshed franchise went for this publisher/developer.

  This is my first review I feel so strong about this I felt I had to say this STAY AWAY FROM TRHIS GAME!!! -The only way to be creative is to use third party 3D modeling softwear -The level of detail is the same as a $10 game made in 2005 yet they ask $35 in 2016 for it -They rushed out of early access to beat another roller coaster game coming out less then one day after this one

  -- Biggest Video Game Flop of the Century -- An absolute disgrace from Atari releasing this abomination! Quality Control Team went awol. -Very poor animations -Very poor peep visaul art, peeps are very ugly. -Very poor peep AI -Very poor and buggy pathing -Very poor and dated graphics -In Game UI looks like a place holder. -peeps walk through each other all the time. -peeps have clones of them selfs. you see like 5 of the same peep. -No motion blur setting in the options. -Game has no soul, life less game. RCTW is the worst game ever. It was rushed out of Early Access with no care for anything. Buy Planet Coaster instead.

  Pre-ordered this one on the reputation of it's earlier series that I had a ton of fun with... Was accepting of the bugs during the beta. But this game is now live. During the tutorials I had it crash twice on my high end system running at normal levels. Went to sandbox mode, more bugs in the camera as I could not unlock my view from a peep that had left the park. After I figured out a work around 10 mins later the game crashed as I was waiting for a special peep to get to the park so I was doing nothing special. Time in this game reflects the time I spent playing the beta with a few mins of crashing after the game went live. Do not purchase this game... Even if they publish bugfixes I would no longer trust the makers. I would not recommend this game that I had high hopes for. look for Planet Coaster as an option.
