A Review of the Theme Park Builder by Limbic Entertainment and Bandai Namco
Park Beyond is a theme park builder developed by Limbic Entertainment and published by Bandai Namco. The game is a spiritual successor to the RollerCoaster Tycoon series, allowing players to create unique theme parks.
Park Beyond has a lot of potentials, but some technical issues and a lack of depth ultimately hold it back. The game’s building tools are powerful, and there is a lot of freedom to create whatever you can imagine. However, the game’s performance could be more consistent, and some frustrating bugs can hinder your creativity.
Another area for improvement with Park Beyond is its lack of depth. The game only offers a little management or simulation, which can feel shallow. There’s not only a little besides building rides and attractions, and the game has no real challenge.
Overall, Park Beyond is a mixed bag. It has some great ideas, but technical issues and a lack of depth hold it back. If you’re a fan of theme park builders, you may still enjoy Park Beyond, but it’s not the definitive experience that fans of the genre have been waiting for.
