The game's optimization is a mixed bag; while it boasts a stunning audiovisual presentation and smooth performance on PC, users report significant performance issues on the base PS5, including crashes and challenges with large parks. Additionally, some gameplay elements feel repetitive and lack innovation, impacting the overall experience.
- “Gorgeous audiovisual presentation that uses recent graphical advancements, steady and smooth performance across all its modes on PC, lengthy and varied campaign that’s fun to fully complete, reworked challenge mode with a unique twist for each location, family units and new animal behaviors add layers to the simulation, astounding set of creative tools that will keep the game fresh for years, a stronger focus on sandbox gameplay and less restrictive park layouts, more options to painlessly deal with menial tasks.”
- “Large parks can lead to performance issues; some hazards can be devastating and hard to recover from.”
- “Poor optimization on the base PS5, crashing to the console's home screen. There's a lack of truly surprising, bold innovations - it's just a refresh of ideas from the previous game. The campaign and challenge mode could be better, especially in the absence of Chaos Theory.”
- “The game suffers from significant optimization issues, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences and frequent crashes.”
