this is THE tycoon. i judge every game on the platform against theme park tycoon 2 and almost none of them measure up. you place rides, build actual custom coasters piece by piece, and every path and shop feeds a money loop you tune yourself. guests have real needs, hunger, bathroom, happiness, and watching your park rating climb as you optimize their flow is the exact number-go-up dopamine i live for. unlocking new rides by leveling your park is genuine progression, not a fake prestige reset with a shiny badge slapped on it. it respects your time and your brain. 5 stars, the cash flow the moment a good layout finally clicks is unbeatable.
