  • gameplay20 mentions

    The gameplay is reminiscent of classic city-building simulators, particularly Zoo Tycoon, but many players find it clunky and lacking depth. While the atmosphere is praised, the mechanics feel outdated, with limited interactions and a focus on research rather than engaging activities. Overall, players desire more complexity and variety in gameplay to enhance their experience.

    • “Great atmosphere, great gameplay, simplistic.”
    • “I'd love to see more in-depth gameplay, where the animals do not inbreed (and add a pedigree system for keeping track of who is related to who), the animals fight, groom each other, socialize and play, etc.”
    • “Gameplay not too bad to be honest.”
    • “We all loved the core gameplay of Zoo Tycoon at first glance; this does too, but this game ruins all of the old mechanics of the original Zoo Tycoon.”
    • “Six hours into my gameplay and all I have to do is keep the game on fast forward and research animals that I don't have any desire to actually put into my park.”
    • “The majority of this gameplay is truly just waiting for things to unlock -- and having access to everything in freeplay?”

    The graphics of the game are generally described as reminiscent of older city-building simulators from the 90s and early 2000s, with a simplistic 2D style that is slightly better than the original Zoo Tycoon. While some players appreciate the nostalgic aesthetic and the variety of animals, many express a desire for more modern and appealing visuals, as well as improved user interface and sound design. Overall, the graphics are considered adequate for a simulation game, but not impressive by contemporary standards.

    • “Graphic: 8/10 (for a sim like this)”
    • “This game is a cute little zoo simulation game with okay 2D graphics (a little better 2D graphics than Zoo Tycoon 1's graphics). The animal selection is good, with animals from all four hemispheres of the planet and all seven continents.”
    • “Graphics are of 'older construction'.”
    • “I bought it thinking it was a graphically simple wildlife park/zoo tycoon, etc.”
    • “Zoo Tycoon 2 is obviously much higher end in terms of graphics and overall gaming satisfaction, but if you are a lover of simulation games related to zoos and management, then this is not a bad game to add to your collection.”
