Meeple Station vs RollerCoaster Tycoon 3
Meeple Station
Meeple Station is a space-themed, sandbox simulation game that focuses a lot on exploration, trading and team management. In this game, you’ll need to build your starter space station and then venture out into the galaxy to find a place to set up shop, so to speak. Mine nearby resources and refine them into valuable bars and other alloys, and trade the resources you have with passing spaceships for resources that you don’t. Don’t forget to assign your meeples with tasks that suit their respective personalities, and give them everything they need to be content despite being cooped up in a tightly-packed space station.The game doesn't have a multiplayer mode (yet), but I can see the potential of having the game mode added in the future where players will be able to trade with each other and even raid other player’s stations to plunder resources. It’ll probably be somewhat similar to Minecraft’s multiplayer mode.
Overall, Meeple Station is definitely an early access game with plenty of potential. Despite the bugs and game issues, it is a rather fun sandbox game to play where you can build your own space station, explore the galaxy, mine and trade for resources, and manage your team of adorable meeples. If you’re interested, Meeple Station is currently available for purchase on Steam. Check it out!
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is perhaps one of the most highly acclaimed RollerCoaster Tycoon game to date! The game now has a deeper strategic aspect in addition to the incredibly addictive work of building the craziest rollercoasters that is physically possible. Similar to RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 builds on the formula that had made the previous games so successful and one-ups all of that with a ton more options, ranging from more attractions to more scenarios, as well as a no-limits Sandbox mode where you can literally build anything you like.As this edition includes both Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs, you can build water slides and a safari with life-like animals. With the Peep Designer, you can even create your own people and their personalities so you can watch their reactions to the coaster you've built when they are riding it or when they are exploring the wild safari you've set-up. Let's not forget about the RollerCoaster Tycoon 3's MixMaster which allows you to design and create incredible pyrotechnics and laser light shows too.
That's not all, the best part about this game is that you are given the opportunity to ride and experience the crazy coasters that you've built in jaw-dropping 3D (through the help of the amazing Coaster Cam)... it almost felt like you're actually there! xMaster.
If you're looking to get into the series, you might want to start with this installment of the game. RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is truly as amazing as you think it is after reading all of these. So, if you get the chance, be sure to give the game a try!
