RollerCoaster Tycoon World does not register on Steam's top 100 games by concurrent player count, which means at the time of publication, it had fewer than 1488 players. In Planet Coaster: Simulation Evolved for PC, the gameplay focuses on creating modern-day roller coasters other contents play a supporting role here.When designing the amusement park, the player is free to decide about the outlook of the place and what do the previously mentioned roller coasters look like. Below is the "most helpful" Steam user review of Planet Coaster. Most of the praise is unanimous in saying Planet Coaster feels like the spiritual successor to the RollerCoaster Tycoon series, which has had a tough time of it for a number of years now. Overall, user reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with an impressive 95 per cent of of the 1310 reviews marked as positive. Now onto Planet Coaster, which came out on 17th November. Perhaps the reception shouldn't come as any surprise: Atari's clearly struggled with RCTW, switching developers a number of times as it's battled negative feedback to alphas, betas and a Steam Early Access build. Below is the "most helpful" user review of RCTW, the one that appears at the top by default when you visit its Steam page. I struggled to find anything positive about the game, with most pointing to Planet Coaster instead. That means just 32 per cent of the 1810 reviews are positive.ĭigging into the user reviews, there are complaints about the game's graphics, performance and feature set. Overall, user reviews for RCTW are mostly negative. Well, in short, it's been something of a disaster. Let's start with RollerCoaster Tycoon World, which came out on 16th November. Reviews for both games are in the works at Eurogamer, but I thought it would be interesting to see how the two rivals were doing in terms of Steam user reception. The game was supported with free as well as paid post-release downloadable content upon launch. Frontier organized multiple alpha and beta testings before launching in November 2016. This week, Atari's RollerCoaster Tycoon World came out on Steam - a day before Frontier's Planet Coaster launched, also on Valve's digital platform. Planet Coaster is Frontiers second self-published franchise, following Elite: Dangerous.
It's early days in the great coaster sim war, but already it looks like we have a clear winner.
