PLANET ZOO
Swinging the camera over my zoo, I watch throngs of people wander between enclosures, cooing at the animals and slurping soda. But then there’s a ripple of panic. I see several guests fleeing in terror, and the fear spreads. Something is happening in my perfect zoo. I heave the camera into the air and locate the source of the rumble – an escaped rhinoceros.
Rhinos are dangerous animals, but it’s lucky for my guests that Planet Zoo is a family friendly game. In Frontier’s other park builder, Jurassic World Evolution, an escaped animal usually leads to people being eaten alive. But here it just makes them upset, which in terms of running and managing a successful (and profitable) zoo is still bad news. So the first job in this, my inaugural hands-on with Planet Zoo, is dealing with an escape.
My zoo isn’t as perfect as I thought it
