Ski Park Tycoon

Ski Park Tycoon

I really like tycoon games and amazingly (based on my user name) im a huge fan of skiing as well so I immediately bought this when I heard about it. What I really like about this game over others is that there is very little bothering about with the village, fiddling about with hotel prices is not what I want. It isn’t though only based on the slopes as restaurants and shelters need to be built to be successful. What I also really like in this game is that instead of people appearing at one point in the map isn’t in this game. Instead each map is generated with roads and car parks can be placed at any location flat enough to do so. 90% of the people then spawn at one of these car parks with the rest thought the day. Another thing I really like is the proper animations of people getting on and off chair/drag lifts (cable cars don’t have any animations) instead of teleporting. Personally I really recommend this game to anyone considering it. For anyone wondering about play time I now have 60 hours on this game, I have finnished the campign for the game and am about 20% of the way through the seperate senarios. There are also some addons (senarios but with real world locations) which I havnt even started on.

I love this game. I would definetely recommend to anybody that has a love for skiing or just designing a resort.

Pros

1. Unlimited Mode is very fun

2. All around great game that has no severe bugs that stand out

3. Free Ride is an excellent feature that allows you to enjoy the resort

Cons

1. Campaign too hard

2. Skiers get stuck in some situations and all go into a huge clump

3. Lifts don’t have realistic range and they can’t go over blocked terrain, in most cases

Things to Add (In order of importance)

Ski Region Simulator - Gold Edition

Hi!

After playing Farming Simulator 2011 I couldn’t help but try this one, and it was excellent. I personally found it very immersive, very very expansive and packed out with silly amounts of equipment available to purchase depending on your strategy. It has the exact same gigantic feel to it that Farming Simulator does and if you dare to try it on hard as I did you’ll find you’re really really up against it to keep the slopes in good condition. I’d recommend getting the darker night mod available online somewhere as it really adds to the atmosphere.

Well where do i start…firstly i am a strong simulation game player YES i love simulations so i guess that makes me a bit of a pro when it comes to testing the games and giving a comment and review on a game i have played and tested, so now we come to Ski Region Simulator - Gold Edition i have played this game constant for 192 hours and find it is a very good game it has many missions and you need to keep your eye on your hotels and once in a while change your preferences to meet the holiday makers so you get a good popularity, it is very easy to play and would suit all ages and it has many tools and equipment you can buy to make the game interesting the graphics is good but could be better as we have the hardware in this day and age to have excellent graphics for this type of game but in saying that in the real world you would not see much more in the swiss alps then what you see in this game lets be honest you would see mostly mountains with snow and some cabins and that’s about it.

As the game is still in EA, please so not take my review as negative criticism but as recommendations for things that should be improved for the final version.

So let’s go through it:

The setting: as a winter sport enthusiast, mountain lover and little snow angel, I love the setting and the idea. I followed the project from the very first alpha, and bought it here to support the developers.

Graphics: You get what you see in the screenshots and videos. A lovely mountain area with nice vegetation and some cute looking skiers. For a game focussed on snow, the white element is presented a bit boring. No variations, no animations, no structure… I want to see at least some improvements here, without expecting AAA-class graphics.

This is my very first review andI really wanted to write a positive one because I absolutely loved the demo. Now with more features, I thought that this sounded wonderful but after several hours of playing, it became more + more frustrating due to too many restrictions and bugs. I’m now listing up what I mean which is actually a listing up of bugs or negative issues and hope I don’t sound rude or so because English is not my first language. So unfortunately, this will be a negative review as I can’t recommend the game at this stage of development, especially not for this price as it has far too many issues.
