[PC] Parkitect – Themepark-Manager-Spiel nach dem Vorbild von RCT2

[sia]

Hallo Leute,

Eigentlich kaufe ich mir keine Spiele zum Vollpreis und schon gar nicht sitze ich modernen Marketinglügen wie "Kickstarter" oder "Early Access" auf. Bei diesem Spiel hat mich allerdings die Nostalgie gepackt und ich habe für umgerechnet 13,80€ zugeschlagen. Es geht um Parkitect!

​

Die Vergnügungsparks-Simulation erinnert stark an RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, verbessert die Formel aber an den entscheidenden Stellen. Die Grafik ist immer noch sehr simplistisch und erste Schritte sind schnell gemacht, aber mit eingebautem Modding-Support, einem Haufen neuer Attraktionen und interessanten Neuerungen bei der Spielmechanik (z.B. Versorgungsgüter für Shops) kann sich Parkitect von anderen kommenden Themepark-Managern positiv abheben.

Für mich ist das Spiel trotz Alpha-Status sehr spaßig geworden und ich habe schon über ein Dutzend Stunden hinein investiert. Ich kann euch den Kauf nur empfehlen, das Spiel wird nämlich bei Release auf Steam erst einmal ein wenig teurer und dann wird es eine ganze Weile dauern, bis es wieder günstiger als 15€ wird!

Die Entwickler hören gerne auf ihre Community und man kann Bugs und Verbesserungsvorschläge im offiziellen Reddit-Forum einbringen. Das Spiel ist für Windows, Mac OS X und Linux verfügbar und in der Unity-Engine programmiert.
