Parkitect is an absolute treat, a theme park management sim in the classic Rollercoaster Tycoon mould, but with more than a few fresh ideas of its own. It was a joy on PC, and it’s finally console-bound, heading to Xbox and PlayStation this Wednesday, 3rd July.
Parkitect is the work of developer Texel Raptor, and originally launched into Steam early access back in 2016. Two years later, it got a wonderfully finessed 1.0 release, and nearly six years on from that, it’s been refreshed for consoles, incorporating the likes of an updated UI and a new control scheme built specifically for controllers.
And, honestly, Parkitect’s an easy recommend if you’re a tycoon game fan, expanding on the classic theme park management sim formula (in which you strive to build a park so ceaselessly delightful, your guests can’t help but throw cash at you) with some smart modernisation, all while still maintaining that heady whiff of nostalgia.
