![]() ![]() This brings me to the next part of Planet Zoo: education. These things allow for a variety of zoo designs and give the player unlimited possibilities. Then, add in some of the weather effects. This also affected the guests, as some complained about it being too hot in the zoo. We only had the India and Savannah biome to make our zoo in, which meant it was relatively easy to make habitats for grassland animals versus some of the tundra animals which required the addition of snow and coolers among other things. The addition of different biomes, weather types, and continents adds another level to what animals you want in your zoo along with what materials the player has access to. So good in fact, that it is worth your time to actually just watch some of your animals play within their habitats, taking advantage of the game’s orbital camera to explore your exhibits and watch them. Additionally, the animal designs are beautiful and the game’s graphics feel like you are really at a zoo. In reality, you can’t just throw random plants in a habitat and expect the animal to be good, and that’s how it is in the game too. Truthfully, from my background in biology, seeing each of these things play a role in setting up a habitat was a joy to see. This high level of management may seem tedious, but as a person that has spent a greater portion of his life working in the sciences and ecology, every detail matters to animals. such as does this animal-like long grass. In addition, you have to pay attention to the smaller things. In fact, each animal design is so detailed that you need to look at animal behavior, their wants, and needs, all to make sure that they are being taken care of. ![]() The level of detail runs the gamut from habitat management to animal genetics. There so is much detail and authenticity put into this game that it blew my mind. I want to start by saying if you are a fan of previous Frontier Development games or the simulation genre more generally, then you are going to love this game. The final game will more than double this at launch. Each has unique traits and personalities. While not all animals from the final game are available in the Planet Zoo beta, it does feature a range of wildlife from around the world across both modes, including the West African Lion, Reticulated Giraffe, Bengal Tiger, Snow Leopard, Galapagos Giant Tortoise, and more, totally over 30 animal. The second mode is Franchise Mode that brings players to the Savannah biome for a deeper simulation with an open sandbox map and the full economy, as well as online connectivity with the Planet Zoo community. You build habitats, adopt animals, and tackle a range of Bronze, Silver, and Gold objectives. Here, players begin their journey in the Temperate Biome as they learn to manage and expand an existing zoo. The Planet Zoo beta consisted of two of the four game modes that will be in the full game, beginning with the new narrative-driven Career Mode. Planet Zoo really goes beyond just a set it and forget it sim. Planet Zoo requires you to focus on habitat design, animal welfare including nutrition, social health and research, guest satisfaction, business and finance management, and so much more. The aim of Planet Zoo was to make the world’s most authentic and detailed zoo and to invite players on a globe-trotting journey as they learn and build every facet of running a socially responsible zoo. As you begin building your zoo, it’s immediately clear that every choice has a real impact on the welfare of your animals, the character and structure of your connected zoos, and your visitors’ satisfaction. Billed as “the ultimate zoo builder,” it lives up to the name. ![]() If you’re unfamiliar, Planet Zoo is a zoo-building simulation game developed by Frontier Developments. When I got the opportunity to play the Planet Zoo beta, of course, I had to check it out. So, when Planet Zoo was announced I was ecstatic. I have been a big fan of other Frontier simulation games for a while now, with titles like Planet Coaster and Jurassic World Evolution. ![]()
