The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.49, set in November 2015. 47 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 65 percent off, roughly 12 weeks apart. Today's $3.49 at 65 percent off still sits 40 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

Take the discount away and it is a 75. With it, 85.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Jurassic World Evolution ($11.24, scores 74) and Until We Die ($16.99, scores 12).

The math says it holds its tier up to $5.56, and you are being asked for $3.49.

70 from critics against 93 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

This site sampled 330 of its Steam-purchase reviews; none were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written November 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 148 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

I still think this game has depth in the immersion more than a majority of games within this genre released today. They made their own radio stations to play through the speakers, you can customize and play every game you put down (it's just not passive...

¯\_(• ⤙•")_/¯ that feeling when your uncle entrusts you with running a theme park but you are lowkey winging it lol but seriously I love this game, it has every type of mini game imaginable and loads of fun ways to customize your park. Also this game is packed with bangers, every time I play I end up getting a song stuck in my head! It is an old game but I feel like it holds up pretty well today, I love replaying...

Just yesterday I started playing this game for the first time in over 3 years. Even though the game is approaching 20 years old, it still has that same charm not matter how long it's been. I would highly recommend giving this game a shot!
