Indoorlands vs Zoo Tycoon
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!
Zoo Tycoon
Zoo Tycoon is a zoo simulation game where you can build and decorate your very own virtual zoo and fill it with a wide variety of common and exotic animals, be it a herbivore, an omnivore or a carnivore. You'll also need to provide these animals with the proper enclosure, hire zookeepers to tend to their needs, and build facilities for the zoo's visitors so they'd have a great time there, and hence, spend more cash. There are plenty of ways for you to really customize your zoo, from the paths you build and the benches you place. You can even control how much to charge your visitors... this is after all, a real tycoon game.If you adore animals of all shapes and sizes, and you happen to enjoy playing tycoon games, you'll want to take a look at Zoo Tycoon. The game's not THAT old yet so its graphics is still pretty bearable, but if you got the Xbox version, you'll be super delighted at the visual upgrade that Microsoft has added to the game.
