Players rate it 93 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 81 percent.

What players say
For what I paid (90% off), it's a blast. Played 8 hours as soon as I got it (oops). Not sure I'd pay full price for this game tho. It's amazing as a chill zoo builder, with little attention needing to go towards actually managing the zoo and more going towards the creative part. Once you start to take off, it's essentially creative mode. There are a huge amount of dinosaurs, though they are mostly just reskins of...
It's a chill little tycoon game with pretty basic graphics. Nice to play with your kid, but nothing I'd play seriously by myself. A tad too unpolished for my taste.
Played the tutorial for 6 hours.... Didn't realise I could leave at anytime 10/10 would play the tutorial again
