The game is not demanding — a mid-range PC from the last decade meets the recommended tier. Frame rate matters most when your park is dense with guests and physics ragdolls, so expect dips in very large late-game parks.
Steam Deck & Controller Notes
- Officially rated "Playable" on Steam Deck — it runs on SteamOS, though some actions need touchscreen or keyboard input and text can be small in places. Many players also force Proton Experimental in game properties → Compatibility, which fixes drag-and-drop and mouse-click issues.
- Console versions (PS5 / Xbox) use a native controller scheme — the same game, adjusted for gamepad play. PC + gamepad also works via Steam Input in most cases.
Should You Buy It?
At $12.99 with 1M+ downloads and an Overwhelmingly Positive Steam rating, the value case is straightforward: it's a content-rich management sim (museum questline, research, staff, co-op, sandbox tools) at a budget price. If you liked Low-Budget Repairs, Go-Go Town, or any theme-park manager, this sits in the same family. The only warning: it's a sandbox — if you need a scripted campaign, this is not that.
