- “Hyperrealistic: the graphics and sound design create an incredibly immersive environment, making you feel like you're actually at the park.”
- “Optimisation isn't the best; the graphics are very poor even on medium settings.”

The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with users reporting significant performance issues, sluggish loading times, and a lack of basic options to enhance performance. Many players note that the game is demanding on system resources, leading to frequent hiccups, and some features, like resolution changes, appear to be broken. However, it's important to consider that the game is still in early access, and ongoing updates may address these optimization concerns.
- “Would be perfect if it was a bit more optimized.”
- “Performance issues: the game can be demanding on system resources, leading to occasional performance hiccups.”
- “Also changing resolution seemed to be broken on mine; performance could also probably be improved with some kind of upscaling added.”
- “I don't recall there being a frame rate cap option (I'd check but it takes so long to even load into the main menu), and basic options to improve performance are nowhere to be seen.”
- “If you're someone who knows your way around the park well enough to not need a map at all or just want to visit a specific area, this combined with the absolutely sluggish performance makes it a chore just to go from, for example, Towers Street to Forbidden Valley.”
- “Atrocious optimization.”

Overall, the soundtrack contributes positively to the atmosphere, despite some oddities in its implementation.
- “The music, rides, all on point!”
- “Rides are iffy at best, and what you can interact with seems to be just the music in one of the shops and some rides (basically just roller coasters).”
- “Strange things are also happening in the park, because in various shops the music behind the counter on the left is different from the one further to the right.”
