Planet Zoo: Console Edition

Planet Zoo is a 2019 construction and management simulation game by Frontier Developments. The game is a spiritual successor to Zoo Tycoon and Zoo Tycoon 2, with gameplay similar to the studio's theme park game, Planet Coaster. Originally released for Windows, ports for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S were released in 2024. As with Planet Coaster, critics praised Planet Zoo's creation tools along with its realistic animal portrayals and emphasis on wildlife conservation. However, the game was also criticised for the complexity of its management and building mechanics, which were deemed to be overly challenging for some players.
