One of my favorite games ever. If you like animals and simulation games, you'll love this. The building is fun but challenging and sometimes takes a long time but it's really worth it.

Building and understanding enclosure components is difficult; it takes quite a while to get the hang of it. If you build the enclosure too high with rocks, animals like monkeys and lions can still escape and have to be collected again. The animals all look good, and it's fun to watch them roaming around. Unfortunately, I still don't understand how the fully constructed enclosures, with a walkway leading from them, are built to the public sidewalks.

If you want to make building much easier, I recommend the game Zoo Tycoon instead.
  • The game is difficult to build and takes a lot of time.

Like most tycoon games, there's a fairly steep learning curve (because of complexity). But the tutorials in career mode are pretty good at walking you through it all one piece at a time while keeping it fun. You'll get out what you put into this game. It's good.

A very chill game in which it is easy to play the game. The progression is interesting and various game modes are available. It's a very good game for the evening, playing it for an hour every day and if you are creative, decorative and otherwise.

It's a great game if you like building and enjoy caring/looking at cute animals! Even without DLC there is a lot to do + you can learn about where the animals come from, how they live in the wild etc..

You can see monke from really close which implies the best graphims on a zoo simulator game. They are quite well aminated and their needs are definitely well documented. You can make them breed to get more monke.

This game is really one of my favourite Tycoon game, as relaxing as it can be. Even though the tutorials are a little long and tedious for my taste, I did find them clear and easy to follow.

It is perfect for an animal lover like me, the game demand a true consideration for the well-being of the animals to be good at the game (even though sometimes we just don't know why some animals are stressed).

The building system allows us to do whatever we want to do but it has a steep learning curve.

It is a perfect game to just launch and chill when you don't feel like doing anything.

Do I really need to talk about the graphics ? I don't think they can be more beautiful and appropriate to this kind of game.

I have just some little cons that I did find during my hours of playing : the character's creation, the roads and the monorails. The first seems a little dull and limited (even though it doesn't really matter in the end), the second can be counter intuitive (like, why can't I just remplace the road that I've just deleted ?), and the third is just painful to connect to the roads.

I strongly recommend this magnificient game.
  • Beautiful Graphics
  • Varied Gameplay
  • Fun
  • Character creation limited and dull
