Planet Zoo

Planet Zoo is impressive and at the core of this immersive gameplay lays the developers’ passion for wanting to make the animal kingdom a better place. The game does this by not only tackling important educational and conservation topics but by also pulling the player into this kind of gameplay too and making them feel like they could make a difference.

Maybe I’m just the worst zoo owner on the face of the Earth, or maybe this is just as common an experience for other players as it seems to be for me in Planet Zoo. You’ve got so many people to keep happy that often you have to make the choice between putting guest needs on the backburner and focusing on animal welfare, or sacrificing one for the other in the opposite direction. Sometimes you simp...

Do not feed the animals.

Also, my zoo has a little train, where a handful of kids and adults can ride around the park seeing all the animals without having to peer through crowds. I was balancing saving endangered animals and making kids happy, which really feels like the aim of a well-run zoo.
