Planet Coaster 2 gameplay and story details

Much like the first title and the Rollercoaster Tycoon series before it, Planet Coaster 2 is a theme park creation sim.

You'll need to construct rides, keep an eye on queues, and perform general management to make sure your customers are happy.

This time you'll be able to create a water park, too, as well as visit your friend's park (or build one together). And yes, Planet Coaster 2 is crossplay!
