Adorable little creative game.

Very addictive, and great fun during zoom calls.

Excellent pack of modern style train and metro stations, very useful!

As for the reviews complaining they can't find them ingame: that's a user problem. They were using third party mods that were not yet updated at the time(but have now). The pack itself works fine.

Great pack of bridges and quays! Very useful!

Lovely little casual sandbox town builder that only asks you to relax, stop worrying, and imagine.

Truly wonderful game. I've been amazed at the cinematography and the scenes more than a few time. The screenshots and description make it sound like it's just swimming with fish in a pretty ocean, but it's a lot more than that. This game does actually have a plot, and it's more than the store page suggests. This isn't just a swimming simulator, this is a SciFi and mythology game. (And that's all I'll say about the plot.)

The controls take some getting used to, but you can definitely play this with a mouse and keyboard. (Especially if you've been doing so all your life, and a controller would take more time to get used to than this game is long.) I would recommend inverting the swimming up-down axis, though, so that W is up and S is down. You can do so from the pause menu.

My only regret is that for years I didn't know this was more than just a swimming simulator, that it's also SciFi. I would've bought it at full price years ago, instead of waiting for a sale and letting it sit in my library for years.

10/10 would swim with Sharky again. And definitely will, this is going to one of those games I replay at least once a year.

More stuff to build with is always great. There's a ton of build pieces in the pack, which you can use for a lot more than just the arctic theme, if you're a bit creative. 10 euro for 4 animals and several thousand pieces is worth it if you do more than just build square cages. ;)

Ignore the people complaining that they can't find any of the content in the construction tab; they haven't figured out yet that you need to have a mechanic RESEARCH IT FIRST. Just like every other theme. (But if they turn off commenting on their review, the community can't help them.... Alas. People be people.)

An updated version of a legendary game. Better support for modern systems, new DLC, what's not to love? If you liked the game when it originally came out, or if you like Grim Dawn(which is the spiritual sequel to this), get this.

Fantastic pack of European homes. Something the game was sorely lacking. And they look much, much better than the original vanilla buildings, as well!

Pro's:
- high quality
- Lots of content for a great price
- European suburbs finally look European!
- Supports one of the best content creators in the community who has released almost 400 items for the game in the workshop.

Cons:
- Some reviewers don't understand how the game works. Ignore them, they haven't figured out how to select a district style.

tl:dr
Buy it.

Rollercoaster Tycoon grew up!

If you're looking for a true sandbox theme park game where you can build your ultimate theme park right down to the tiniest detail, look no further.
If you're looking for an in-depth management game, this might not be what you're looking for.

Pro's:
- You can build just about anything. Coasters piece by piece? check. Building a cabin log by log? check.
- You can turn off things you don't want to deal with, like security or park rating.
- You can catch thieves and kick people from the park!
- Collisions can be turned off to add scenery to rides, buildings, etc.
- Runs remarkably well on older systems that were high-end in their day.
- Active developers who interact with and listen to the community.
- Free content and features in updates.

Con's:
- The path building tool is a bit... weird.
- No in depth economic management. (I personally prefer it this way, but others others might not.)(The game is still getting more features, an free update coming next month (Nov 2017) will add breaks and energy meters for shop staff.)
- Due to the limits of modern day engines, the game becomes a real strain with high visitor numbers. (You can limit the number of visitors in the main park settings.)

Please note that because this is a simulation game, more visitors means more strain on your CPU. You can limit the number of visitors to avoid this issue, but do not expect to have 10.000 people in the park on a 5 year old cpu at 30fps. You'll hit about 8fps, at most.

Personal verdict: I love the game. Having grown up with every Rollercoaster Tycoon game, this game is everything I had hoped for. One giant theme park sandbox for me to play in. And the way the developers interact with the community is a breath of fresh air in this era.
