PARK BEYOND
Windows only
From 1994's Theme Park, through Rollercoaster Tycoon, and on to Planet Coaster, PC gaming has always been the true home of theme-park management games. And 2023 is going to see that lineage continue, with the launch of Park Beyond looking to take theme-park management simulators to a new level, in terms of both fun and craziness.
Take one look at Park Beyond and it's clear to see its indebtedness to that previously mentioned PC gaming heritage. From a mechanical point of view, Park Beyond is not dissimilar to Frontier's Planet Coaster, with the player tasked with forging the fun dispensing, physics-defying carnival of their dreams.
In addition, as they desperately try to lift a struggling park proprietor out of bankruptcy, they get to take part in story-driving, park-shaping chats with a bunch of talkative helper types.
Dream big
Better yet, after some more basic, structured tutorial groundwork that involve track girder placing and a bit of plot grind, park managers earn access to the big marquee feature of 'Impossification. And it is through this feature of 'Impossification that Park Beyond is looking to evolve the theme park management genre.
