PLANET ZOO REVIEW SKIN

I had a hard time swapping out two-way glass with one-way glass. At first, there was no end to the troubles I’d seen. The game made me pay for all of that learning. The architectural side of the game requires just as much finesse as the animal care side. And I realized I’d never find happiness until I came to terms with manipulating individual LEGO pieces and parts on their X, Y, and Z axis. I wasn't happy with Planet Zoo until I figured out I had to engage with this enormous second part of the game. Wasn't happy until I stopped treating the game like an economics spreadsheet and started treating it like an art project.alongside an economics spreadsheet. Are you going to be the kind of zookeeper that does the bare minimum to keep the animals' happiness meters in check, or are you going to be one mean architecture degree-wielding machine? One glimpse into the Steam Workshop where other players have uploaded their mind-boggling, beautiful architecture will force you to reckon with yourself. But you won’t be getting the most out of Planet Zoo, and you’ll know it. Well, yes, if you want to be lazy like me and just drop a few prefab buildings down onto a flat lot: be my guest. Want to run Planet Zoo? Then you better bring your engineering degree! No, I was expecting to simply kick over the ticket counter, slap down a prefab animal shelter, and watch the money bags pile up in my bank balance. Now, that may sound overly obvious to some. See? Totally convincing.īut there’s an entire second part of this game I was not expecting: the part where you become an architect. Even the iguanas, uh, basically find a warm rock and just sit there. The timber wolves run and play like the good boys they are. The alligators just break the surface of the water like scaly icebergs.

PLANET ZOO REVIEW SKIN

The lion fur is fuzzy, the frog skin is slick, and the elephant hide is leathery.

From aardvarks to zebras, the Zoopedia’s cast of creatures is detailed and lively. Planet Zoo is really the only show in town, like it or not. The last (real) one was the Zoo Tycoon reboot in 2013-and, like Planet Zoo here, that one was made by Frontier Developments. The zoo simulator is an endangered species.
