This is such a great revision of the classic Roller Coaster Tycoon-style genre, with a very familiar, intuitive and refined interface. The game has great performance, even on less-powerful systems, and makes the game accessible to a lot of different players.

The graphics are very sharp, but remain minimal and low-impact on performance, even with high graphics settings. I love the new visualisations that have been added for rides, such as excitement levels, g-forces, etc - which show directly on the track. Parkitect brings one of the most intuitive building systems to any theme park sims I've played in the past.

This is a very different take on theme park design games than Planet Coaster, even though I believe both are great games and worth playing if you are an enthusiast. Whereas Planet Coaster has been a very performance-heavy game, in my experience the design of Parkitect seems to strike a great balance of graphic complexity and performance without compromising its aethetics.

Parkitect is a very solid, 1st class, high-quality sim game. I think it will go down as a classic, and is developing a great community of players. If you are a fan of theme park sims, this is a must-have, and if not, Parkitect is a great intro to the genre!
