Indoorlands vs Planet Coaster
Indoorlands
Indoorlands is an indoor theme park simulation game where you can build your theme park from the ground up, decorate the place, customize each ride, and make as much money as you can by fulfilling your visitors’ needs. There’s also a research tree where you can unlock new ride and décor halls to build, thematic decor to place, and increase the number of visitors your park can support. Honestly, if you’ve played Parkitect before, Indoorlands will feel somewhat similar, albeit a simpler version of it, and indoors. Rides, for instance, are placed in specialized “ride halls” while décor can be placed either in ride halls or special décor halls.Now, despite currently being in early access, Indoorlands already has enough content for tens of hours of play, especially if you are simply obsessed over creating the best possible theme park with a high visitor approval rating. The game is also completely sandbox-based so you’re given free rein to create your park as you like. You can even take over the controls of a ride, have fun operating it, or even set your own ride program. However, that is not to say that the game’s a perfect early access title. It does have some hiccups and some room for improvement, especially when it comes to the depth of some of its features. Still, the game’s definitely worth its asking price even now and if you love theme park sims in general, you’ll definitely enjoy playing Indoorlands!
Planet Coaster
Planet Coaster is one of the most in-depth rollercoaster theme park tycoon where you’ll not only get to obsess over every tiny detail of your ideal theme park; you’ll get to manage your staff as well as your park’s finances, build your own mega rollercoasters and “ride” it in first person (seat view), and to generally provide the best possible theme park experience to your visitors.If you love theme park tycoons like the Rollercoaster Tycoon series, you’ll definitely love Planet Coaster! The game takes all the best elements from the genre’s preceding games and adds many improvements to them, including but not limited to modern graphics, in-depth park management systems, a detailed yet easy-enough-to-learn custom coaster builder, and many more. The game’s social too, allowing you to experience other players’ creations while letting you upload your own. Definitely worth spending hours building the ideal theme park here especially if you get to share it with the world!
