\nParkitect 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.\n<\/p>\n

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.\n<\/p>\n

\nAnd, 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. <\/p>\n
