In fact, this is something I only figured out after two hours into the game and once I got completely frustrated at how my buildings are placed. If you’re not particularly fixated on how things are placed, you might not even realize how great these features are without fidgeting around or messing about. Now while I do love the settings involved with these features such as angle snapping whenever you want to rotate a structure or move snapping if you want that pixel-perfect placement of walls among other things, it comes at the price of not being fully explored. This process continues on with its other minor yet most used features such as creating paths and item placements.

This is something that took me like a few good minutes to figure out as I fiddle around with my controller until finally pressing circle and jumping into the categories section where I can choose what I need. While it does show at the corner of the screen where and what I need to click on, it didn’t particularly mention how I’m supposed to get there. That instance comes in the form of finding and placing a rubbish bin which was required by the game, so I could continue the tutorial. It isn’t without its faults though… right from the start I felt lost like a little child in a massive theme park filled with menus and buttons. Though taking the tour in career mode is something you simply wouldn’t want to take for granted as it acts as the tutorial mode that introduces you to the game and its many features. Simply put, you can do whatever the frick you want and nobody will judge you otherwise. There are multiple ways to play from the sandbox mode that lets you jump straight through its massive and intimidating set of menus and features to its career mode that gives you the step-by-step in becoming the future micro-managing mogul of the industry. Right from the get-go, Planet Coaster is bold and straightforward. It’s a completely smooth transition with using one or the other that it really makes you want to see how console games evolve in this direction. Simply use a controller if you feel like it or grab the keyboard and mouse should you feel more comfortable doing the other tasks that way. There’s even a nice marriage between the two that lets you use either one without having to make an additional effort.

Planet Coaster: Console Edition delivers the theme park experience in both a controller or with its mouse and keyboard support which is a welcome addition that doesn’t alienate either its console fans or hardcore PC enthusiasts.

And it does it in two ways… like literally.

One of the biggest things I love with the game is its massive selection of constructs and visual flair while also being able to deliver a compact and straightforward control scheme to keep it from falling apart. Not because it redefines the management simulation genre by any means but because it still upholds its major features without any sort of noticeable compromise. Planet Coaster: Console Edition is what I would consider as one of the more interesting games to come out for home consoles.
