Everything that is different about Planet Coaster elevates this series in a way that it could've never had done before now. Steam Workshop will be what keeps you playing this game again and again! Players can download scenery, buildings, rides, and even theme parks from other players in the game. If you want the front of your theme park to look exactly like Disney World, there's already a building you can add to your "blueprints". It's actually kind of insane the amount of customization this game allows. Make no mistake if your park looks generic while playing it will be entirely on you.

You now have the ability to widen your walk paths so your patrons aren't marching single file, and paths now curve and aren't forced to snap in a grid formation.

As for patrons, you're now able to follow them from a first person perspective, which isn't as interesting as it sounds but it can have it's moments.

Graphically this game has been given a huge facelift. Your park will spring to life as you hear crowd chatter amongst bass pounding dubstep, hard rock and the roaring of the rollercoasters. It looks and sounds like a theme park, which I never thought was so important until I experienced it.

Overall I'm very pleased with the early access version of the game! It gave me huge waves of nostalgia that reminded me of the long hours I dipped into this game. I can see throwing myself into this game for several more long hours at launch. Pre-Order it right now on Steam and save 10% or nix the 10% for the special edition and get access to the beta of the game early November and some other sweet perks.

Planet Coaster launches November 17th.
