Parkasaurus is a pretty great park sim that offers players a fun and unique experience. While it may not be a game everyone can play for hours on end, the level of creativity it offer players along with its extensive gameplay mechanics and gorgeous cartoony art-style is enough to keep anyone entertained for a few hours. But for park sim enthusiasts, Parkasaurus is a must play.

A little gem in the park simulation genre which would have been even greater with some additional difficulty.

Shallow management game with cuddly graphics and plenty of variety, but lacks challenging tasks.

Parkasaurus is a nice little distraction for people who like park simulators, but way too easy and simple to entertain for more than a few hours. Also, there‘s a lot of technical hiccups and repetition which keep the game from being better than it is.

Over the many hours that I played Parkasaurus, I have to say that I did feel very relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the simple yet goofy style picking out appropriate hats for all my dinosaurs. Going into this as a tycoon game you know exactly what is included but if you want an all singing all dancing experience then this game may fall a little short of your expectations. Hopefully in the future with more updates and steam workshop engagement there might be more to offer in the future and a reason to come back for more.

20 years ago Parkasaurus would have been a huge success but compared to contemporary games by Frontier (Planet Zoo or Planet Coaster), it looks like, well, a dinosaur. Actually, even RollerCoaster Tycoon (1999!) was deeper, more complex and better designed than Parkasaurus. [11/2020, p.44]
