negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RollerCoaster Tycoon World, developed by Nvizzio Creations and published by Atari and RCTO Productions, was meant to be the triumphant return of one of the most beloved simulation franchises in gaming history. Carrying the iconic RollerCoaster Tycoon name, it set out to deliver a modernized version of the classic theme park-building experience that had captivated players for decades. The promise was enticing: a full 3D world, advanced coaster-building tools, robust park management systems, and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you've read review after review talking about how buggy and filled with crashes (and not the roller coaster kinds), let me reassure you that they are all legit and speak to the real heart of this game. It's a disaster. You can hardly even enjoy any part of the game because all it's going to do is crash out -- and sometimes refuse to load the saved game you meticulously built up per node of a challenge, meaning you will need to start the entire challenge over again with no part of your…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You cant even beat Tutorial because it keeps crashing every time it ask to drag a road. So whats left? Sandbox? Yeah sure. But its already 2024 and the game still havent fixed? Damn. Gone its charm from its previous game, its like RCT3 but way worse and buggy, although I hardly played the RCT3. Pedestrian pathfinding is horrible, sometimes they stuck in middle queue of ride. Staff NPC sometimes don't know where to go, I feel like I prefer the old RCT where you can recruit staff by dragging…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Roller Coaster Tycoon World is buggy, clunky, and completely misses the charm of the classic games. The graphics feel outdated, the controls fight you, and the guests wander around like they’re lost. Even basic coaster building is a chore. If you want the real theme-park tycoon experience, play literally any other entry in the series. Roller Coaster Tycoon World is the ride you skip so you can go get a pretzel instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm not one to say that a game is abandoned, or that it shouldn't be allowed to be sold on Steam, but this game definitely fits those descriptions. This game was rushed, left unfinished, riddled with bugs, crashes, and even gamebreaking problems. If you want a game like this, get Planet Coaster, it’s amazing. There are broken achievements, where the devs literally didn't code in the ability to get them. The achievements are dumb too (click trees to scare away birds), and it's still just not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is fun I cannot lie about that. However, in the 44 hrs that I have logged about half of that was trying to just reload because it keeps crashing. Place down a coaster, crash. Make a path, crash. Pick up a mechanic to repair a ride, crash. Again it can be fun but sweet lord if this wasn't a part of a roller coaster tycoon bundle I would have refunded it after the first crash.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's ♥♥♥♥, don't bother Every other RCT is better Even basic pathway building is nearly impossible to do, and on medium settings it's making my half year old 5070ti build sweat
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a long time fan of the franchise, this was an emotionally painful experience for me. It's super sad to see where this franchise has gone, and quite honestly I'm surprised this game did not stop the franchise dead in its tracks. + Graphics are awesome + The customisation of varies objects is fun + Some of the new coasters are really good - Horrific UI controls - Path finding is sometimes completely broken - Terrain transformation and path layering is almost 100% broken. - Guests don't know…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game crashes and is honestly a letdown. The premise is great, but path and coaster generation are moderately clunky. It feels like if AutoDesk made a video game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this game for $1 and even that was too much.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played this across 3 different laptops. All were different versions of windows and different brands. On all the laptops, the game was glitchy and crashed frequently. If it were not glitchy it would be a great game but its hard to play when it keeps crashing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Poorly optimised garbage tier game, it crashes all the time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Play RollerCoaster Tycoon 1, 2, 3 or Planet Coaster(s) instead. This game could've had potential if they ever fixed anything. Building paths, rides, ANYTHING, is all janky and doesn't work how you want it to. I had no issues with crashes as others have stated but the game is not cooperating with me trying to build. $5 I'd say it fair to mess around with but dont expect a GOOD game. Main menu reminds me of some shovelware from the wii era.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolute wank mate
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →does not play right it keeps crashing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its been years and still regret this purchase.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's fine, but is it worth it, no. My game crashes almost every time it opens; I'm playing on a computer with one terabyte storage. The game is unpolished and rough. If you want a good tycoon, get planet coaster 2.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →planet coaster is way better
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even after all these years its still a steaming pile of crap What did they do to my dear boy?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →JUNK!!!!! Crashes all the time. If it was free i could over look it idc if its $3.00 if you buy something it should work. unhappy.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the coolest rollercoaster tycoon yet. I was shocked by the bad reviews, it almost made me not buy it. lol I grew up with all of them, i think my dad hates the rollercoaster tycoon music. 12 hours a day, years, me and his girlfriends son at the time 1 as 12-13ish, just leaving it running. xD This is also the best rollercoaster game yet. Very few back then let us ride 1 rollercoaster and it wasn't rollercoaster tycoon. The best part of this, is probably the part people hate, the "spline…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still mad I've been scammed and pre-ordered this game 8 years ago at full price. Don't buy this abandonware crap that has never even been finished, buy Planet Coaster instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Laggy and generally bad. The tools are hard to use so it is difficult to make stuff look nice (not graphically speaking, just from placement and such things). In a building game that has got to be one of the main things to consider and having that in mind this is an absolutely-do-not-buy game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite disappointing in that I was so jazzed to make theme parks all weekend just for the game to fail to launch after I finished the tutorial park. Did a bunch of research and sounds like everyone who has ever played this game is experiencing the same problem. So don't waste your time, it sounds like Planet Coaster might be the way to go.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought this back at release, honestly looking back on it I'm in pure disgust that I can't get a refund for what has always been a jank, broken and lacking experience. The entire thing is an insult to the legacy of RCT 1, 2 and 3. It is a pure display of corporate greed rather than the pure passion projects that made the prior titles such a massive success. I would actually highly advise Atari to take the loss, take the game down and compensate everyone that bought it as they have no right to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game is very laggy and often crashes i dont know why its doing that but this game was my childhood, very disappointed
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Planet Coaster but worse...Not the game i grew up with.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →impossible to control or know what to do
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is buggy, and is no longer receiving updates, crashes constantly when attempting to remove objects or rides, using depth of field makes the game extremely blurry.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I loved this game when I got it initially, the most recent update has completely bricked the game to the point that it will not load past the startup screen and just hangs on a black screen with the game music. No amount of file integrity verification or uninstalling and reinstalling will fix it. Don't waste your money until it's fixed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just go buy Planet Coaster instead, it's literally just what this game should've been
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very lazy developers and publisher Atari. The game is broken and i have put it in my junk pile. Shame on you Atari and the developers for putting out this trashy game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this twice when I first bought it. After that it would not load correctly. I would only get sound and no video. I tried everything. Re-installing. I tried loading on to different computers both with Windows 10 an 11. Nothing ever worked. There are no updates to correct any bugs. I see others have had similar problems. Avoid this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Absolutely not...This is the worst tycoon game I have ever played. It is so broken and everything feels awkward. Something as simple as making paths should not be so difficult. When you get to trying to complete objectives, forget it. Making money is 100% impossible. Stay away from this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'd suggest just buying roller coaster tycoon 3. Or even go back further, anything but this version of the game basically... I feel like this game should just be free. 30 minutes of play? 30 minutes of the game crashing on the start up.. or mid game, if it loads.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Keep crashing while i am playing. Not on my PC but my friends too
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is the clunkiest game i have ever played
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's a big issue with going to the main menu and the loading screen being stuck at 0% for 5 forevers, or loading up your saves and it doing that or getting to 100% but staying stuck and not budging. The program just doesn't want to respond. And my specs are more than the requirement. Oh and the pathways are really janky. Terrible game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's been 7 years since i last played it and i dont think anything got updated. It is awful. Go play Planet Coaster 1 Why do the paths never work! Why do i have to play career for sandbox mode!?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First attempt to play the game was extremely laggy and difficult to play. Second attempt to play the game crashed in the first campaign mission. Third attempt, 8 years after the game came out, made it to the second mission in the campaign when it crashed again...don't waste your money or your time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dont waste your money. it is an actual cash grab and abandoned
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to love this iteration as much as I did the original back in the day, but though I am playing on a PC that meets recommended game requirements, it's very slow loading and laggy/glitchy. I am currently stuck on the second Mission, unable to place the janitor into his patrol. I will continue to check in for hotfixes/updates that improve the gameplay, but until then, I just can't recommend this. Sorry.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Graphics on this game are nuts and crash the game all the time. I currently have all settings to the lowest possible and still spikes. Too much going on in this roller coaster game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bad game. Lacks the drive of a game who wants to succeed. Lost the magic of what the original RCT had.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is TRASH, grid disappears when moving objects, paths split after placing objects, can't place objects on a flat terrain because of the grid. I haven't even made it to playing with Peeps in the park yet and I'm uninstalling immediately. If it's this bad after only placing 4 paths, 6 shops, and 2 restrooms, there's not a snowballs chance in hell I'm going to stick around & hope it gets better. How many developers did this game go through? What an embarrassment.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Poorly optimized. Constant crashes
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Crashes every time, doesn't save progress
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not the Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 followup you might be hoping it is, and certainly not the Classic style RCT game you might be thinking of. However, it could be worth the current price of $20USD if you have 20 bucks to burn, and want a rough game to make fun of, possibly while streaming to your friends. It was not worth the early access price I paid ($65). Be ready for bugs and crashes, long loading screans, easily-confused NPCs (peeps), pathing jank, weird coaster-building mechanics, menus that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I only bought the game ironically. You could have a bit of fun with how weird the game is (Weird at best, annoying at the worst), but if you're looking for a good amusement park game, look elsewhere.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Going through my Steam library: Extremely buggy, Unity asset flipped "game". Development got abandoned quickly after its release. Buy every theme park builder except this one. It is the reason I never pre-order anything again. Good that Frontier got the rights of RCT3 back.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have been unable to play RollerCoaster Tycoon World almost every time i start the game and enter a land i have started previously, it wont load from the second you enter the park and it crashes. No matter how many times i have restarted the game, steam or restarted my computer completely... still NOTHING.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played really well for a bit, now i get noise and no visual upon start up, I have tried every single suggestion there is on here and the internet. Worked but now it doesn't, there doesn't seem to be an answer out there that can make it work. Yes, I've done the -force-d3d9, I have uninstalled both Tycoon and Steam, still doesn't work, I have run as administrator and still doesn't work, as well as the Atari folder..... I loved this game, but I guess I will have to learn to live without it.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is garbage. Don't buy (unless you're dumb like me)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →compared to other rct games this ones the worst. can't even create normal paths and there aren't even any new attractions. It's just a copypaste rollercoaster tycoon 3 but with sliiiightly better graphics.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →MY god this Game has nothing to do with the first hree Games of the Series. Really dissapointing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Constantly crashes with no obvious fixes.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I received this game as part of a bundle with some other RCT games. Honestly, if it hadn't come in the bundle, I wouldn't have bought it (it mathed out to like a dollar in the bundle's total at the time). This game is extremely buggy, laggy, crashes often, and it's not as intuitive as the first two games. It honestly feels like a game still in beta, but it came out in like 2016. When it works, it is pretty fun. However, the bugs (such as invisible litter) make some challenges impossible. I…
