Planet Coaster hasn’t been out very long, but is already gaining huge praise as the spiritual successor to Theme Park we’ve waited over 2 decades for.
It also seems like the developer is keen to pump out regular content updates as the first major patch is already live, with a further update coming next month that adds more free content.
This update adds some new blueprints to Planet Coaster, including additional shops and scenery.
There’s also a wealth of bug fixes and a brand new ‘harder’ challenge mode.
