Rollarcoasters are easy enough to make but make them too fast or scary and no one will ride them, and it’s surprisingly tricky to get the right balance. The hardest goals for me were the ones that had you build ‘coasters.

These goals range from getting a high enough park rating to making a specific amount of money on ride tickets and so on. In this mode, you are given three parks, each with one theme, and you have to complete certain goals with those parks. That being said, career mode is where you’ll spens most of your time. It’s probably best to start in sandbox, as in that mode all the rides are unlocked from the start, and you have unlimited money to build and experiment, and that’s the best way to learn the ropes to a game that doesn’t bother providing much by way of tutorial. Planet Coaster has three modes of play: career, sandbox, and challenge. Matt’s full review of Tropico 5 on PlayStation.

Later in life when Roller Coaster Tycoon came out I was old enough to understand what to do and I played the heck out of them all… and managed to avoid bankruptcy in the process. Back then I had no idea what I was doing, I just really liked building my own park and would always run out of money.

Ever since I played Theme Park on the Sega Geneses I have been hooked on amusement park simulation games.
