Parkitect (PC)
Parkitect is a game by Texel Raptor that is currently being made in Early Access as it builds to a complete release.. The premise of the game is very simple, it is a game where you get to make and run a Theme Park. Parkitect is just like Rollercoaster Tycoon, Theme Park and other games that have been popular over time and the game is pretty much just as easy to play as those games. At this time of writing, Parkitect is up to Alpha version 18 but players already get to play in Sandbox mode and with unlimited finances as the campaign mode is being worked on at this time. Players can hire various staff such as Janitors, Haulers (they deliver goods), Mechanics, Security Guard, Security and Entertainers, a staff room is needed to be built for them. There are currently 21 various stores and amenities that users can build from Toilets to Pizza shops and there are dozen of rides to build from the basic Ferris Wheel to a design yourself Go Kart track.
The hardest part we've found so far is connecting the tunnel between the loading bay (right side of below picture) and depots that you place anywhere you like, the tunnel must be placed underground at level 2, any higher or lower and you will not connect the two places up and supplies won't go from A to B in order to send them to shops via Haulers.
Guests have various needs and desires which is good as it ensures you must design a park that has various levels of ride intensity so all patrons get to enjoy and spend at your park. Players can find out what patrons are seeking by clicking on any member of the public in the park and going through info, thoughts, inventory, experiences and stats. So far this game is a must have for those who like to play games like Rollercoaster Tycoon and the original version of Theme Park and it may also appeal to gamers who love to design parts of their gaming world. Rating at this stage of development 4 out of 5.
